No. This isn't a keto or low carb eating plan — it's an insulin smart eating plan. You'll learn how your body responds to food and build an approach that works for you. For most people this looks like a protein-forward way of eating that prioritises the foods your body thrives on — but it's not a rigid diet, and we work with your preferences and your life.

Absolutely. This coaching focuses on nutrition education and lifestyle changes. I'll never suggest changing any medication, and I'll always encourage you to keep your medical team informed of any dietary changes you make.

Most people who've tried low carb have done it without understanding the science behind why it works — or without the coaching support to troubleshoot when things stall. InsulinIQ gives you both the education and the ongoing guidance to make it sustainable this time.

This is a metabolic health education programme. The focus is on understanding how your body works and building sustainable habits — not chasing a number on the scale. What changes when you genuinely understand your metabolism is something we can talk about on your discovery call.

A continuous glucose monitor is provided as part of your programme for the first two weeks — no additional equipment is needed. I may recommend supplements to support your body and metabolism during the programme, but these are never essential. The programme works through food and lifestyle first. Supplements can support what we're doing, but they never do the work on their own.

Coaching sessions are delivered online via video call, so you can attend from anywhere in New Zealand or beyond. In-person sessions are also available from my clinic in Rolleston, Canterbury — depending on your location and preference.

You keep everything you've learned — and you'll have the knowledge and habits to continue independently. You'll also have the option to stay in the private support community on a monthly membership basis, and individual follow-up coaching sessions are available if you want periodic check-ins.
