Ian McIver MRSPH
Nutrition & Health Coach

Concerned about your health? Trying to get off the cycle of yo-yo dieting? Wanting a better relationship with food? Struggling to make sense of confusing nutritional advice? Whatever you’re facing right now, don’t go through it alone. I’m a compassionate, evidence-based health coach who can support you to more energy and better health. Together let's add years to life and life to your years.


ABOUT IAN

Over the last ten years I’ve made simple changes to my life to improve my health. I know, based on evidence, that I‘ve substantially reduced my risks for many of the chronic illnesses we’ve come to expect as inevitable. Events in my life have highlighted the suffering and consequences of chronic illness, making me passionate about maintaining and improving mine and other people's health. Of course, not every illness can be prevented but evidence shows many diseases can be avoided and even put into remission by adopting a healthier lifestyle.

I’m a member of the Royal Society of Public Health and the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport & Physical activity. I’m passionate about helping people find a path to a better future and to understand why simple changes in diet, exercise, sleep or stress levels can reap huge rewards. Whether you want to lose weight, have more energy, protect yourself from future health problems or improve existing ones, we can work together to achieve your goals.



"I have been working with Ian as my health coach over a number of months to support me in improving my overall health using diet, exercise and lifestyle changes. Ian is very thorough in his research and backs up his information with scientific references in the comprehensive emails he sends after each session.

I have particularly appreciated the small samples of different foods he has prepared for me which has enabled me to try out new things before spending money on foods I might not enjoy.

We have recently begun walk and talk sessions on Ian's suggestion to increase my exercise as I am time poor and I found this to be really helpful. Ian is very encouraging and I would highly recommend him as a health coach."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS COACHING RIGHT FOR ME?

We all need help and support as we can't be an expert in every field. Sometimes we just need a sounding board or someone to talk things through with. Coaching can provide you with a source of knowledge, support and motivation to help you get to where you want to be in your life. And I personally benefit from engaging with continual coaching and professional training to update and enhance my practice.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

I want everyone to be able to access the health advice they need. One to one sessions cost £45 for 50 minutes and I have flexible options to help manage the financial cost.

HOW LONG DO I NEED COACHING FOR?

Everyone's needs differ so I have no minimum or maximum number of sessions. We'll work together to determine what's right for your needs and situation. I appreciate that financial and/or time constraints can be a barrier so I offer weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions to suit your needs.

WHERE WILL SESSIONS TAKE PLACE

Most people choose online sessions and I can work with clients in the UK and internationally. I have a consulting room in Shipley, West Yorkshire where we also have the option of walk and talk sessions in my local woods.
