Is the discovery call a sales pitch?

No. It is 45 minutes. We go through your current situation — energy, sleep, weight, what you have already tried — and you can ask anything about the programme. If I do not think I can help, I will say so. You leave with a clearer picture of what is going on regardless of what you decide.

Is this safe if I am on medication for blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol?

Yes. Chris Patrick is an AHPRA-registered pharmacist who specialised in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolic health for over a decade — including holding a UK independent prescribing qualification in that specialty. He understands medications, interactions, and contraindications at a clinical level. If you are on medication, that is context he factors into the plan from the start — not a barrier to working together.

I have tried personal trainers and nothing has stuck. Why is this different?

Personal trainers address exercise. This programme addresses the whole system: your body clock, your light environment, when and what you eat, how you move throughout the day, your sleep quality, and your stress load. Most founders who have struggled before did not lack discipline — they had a broken environment that made consistency nearly impossible. That is what gets fixed first.

How much time does this take each week?

One 45-minute 1:1 session per week. Two optional 30-minute resistance sessions. The remaining changes — morning light, meal timing, sleep environment — are built into time you are already spending. Most clients say they get time back because their energy and focus improve.

Can lifestyle changes reverse pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes?

Yes. During his time running a GP diabetic clinic, Chris Patrick helped 14 patients reverse pre and type 2 diabetes without adding a single medication. Changes included more walking, less processed food, fewer refined carbohydrates, no snacking, closing the kitchen after 7pm, improving the light environment, and some resistance training.

Q: Will this programme work around a busy founder schedule and constant travel?

Yes. The programme is built specifically for founders with unpredictable schedules. One client came back from two weeks in Sri Lanka and maintained his 5kg weight loss with his routine completely intact. We build systems that survive travel, client dinners, and chaotic weeks — not routines that require life to be perfect.

Sound familiar?

You built a successful business. Your health hasn't kept up.

You're carrying more weight than you'd like, especially around the middle. You wake up tired. You rely on two, three, four coffees to function. Somewhere around 3pm every day you hit a wall you can't explain.

You've tried personal trainers. Programs that worked until work got in the way. Diets that lasted a fortnight. Fitness challenges you smashed for a month and then abandoned.

You don't think it's a lack of willpower. You've got plenty of that. You're just not sure why nothing actually sticks.

The environment was broken but nobody ever addressed that part.

A typical founder's day (be honest)

🌅 Wake up unrefreshed. Scroll phone in bed before getting up.
☕ Coffee. Minimal breakfast or something you know isn't great.
🚗 Drive to work. Sit at a computer. Morning drags.
☕☕ Two more coffees to make it to lunch.
🍱 Lunch at the desk. Something quick, probably high carb.
💤 3pm crash. Like clockwork.
🍫 Snacking to get through the afternoon. Snappy with staff.
🚗 Drive home. Takeaway or convenience dinner.
📱 Couch, TV, scrolling. Bright lights on all evening.
💻 Laptop and emails until late. Can't switch off.
😴 Poor sleep. Repeat.

The approach

The Founder Health Operating System

Six foundations built into your actual day. Overhauling your life and rigid plans that fall apart the moment you travel are not required.

Circadian Biology

Your body clock runs everything: energy, metabolism, sleep, mood. Most founders' body clocks are completely out of sync with how their day is set up. We reset that first.

Light Environment

Your home at 9pm is sending your brain the same signal as midday sunlight. Bright days and dark evenings are one of the most powerful levers for energy and fat loss.

Nutrition

Higher protein, real food, fewer refined carbohydrates, strategic meal timing. A framework that fits around a founder's actual eating habits.

Movement

Daily walking, breaking up long sitting periods, two 30-minute resistance sessions, and one short sprint session per week. Five HIIT classes a week for someone with broken basics often makes things worse.

Sleep Quality

Most founders sleep seven or eight hours and wake up exhausted. The issue is sleep quality, not hours in bed. We fix what's disrupting it. Most of that happens in the two hours before bed.

Stress and Recovery

Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, holds onto belly fat, disrupts sleep, and drives the afternoon crash. We address this practically, with changes that fit your actual schedule.

The important part: These aren't six separate projects. They're one interconnected system. Fix your light environment and your sleep improves. Improve your sleep and your food choices get easier. Get the food right and the energy comes back. We build them together, in the right order, around your actual life.

About Chris

I spent a decade watching people manage decline. Now I help founders reverse it.

I went into pharmacy to help people get healthy. Ten years later, I was filling a blister pack with 47 pills for one patient, counting them out one by one, fitting them into the little plastic pockets.

Somewhere around pill 30 I stopped and thought: this can't be right. She wasn't dying. But she wasn't living either.

"I'd spent years studying but standing there with that blister pack, I realised I was helping people manage decline rather than reverse it."

I'm a Primal Health Coach and Pharmacist who specialised in Type 2 Diabetes and metabolic health. I've worked in NHS hospitals, ICU wards, and as a GP Federation practice pharmacist in Northern Ireland for five years — where I held a UK independent prescribing qualification in my specialty. During that time I ran a type 2 diabetes clinic for three years, and 14 patients reversed their pre and type 2 diabetes without adding a single medication.

Most of them had been told it was a life sentence. It wasn't. It took straightforward changes to food, movement, and environment, applied consistently by someone who understood the underlying biology.

Originally from Ireland, I moved to the Sunshine Coast, Australia in 2024 with my family. I coach a small number of founders 1:1.

I'd rather help someone fix their health at 42 than manage the consequences at 62. That's why I do this.

The programme

The Energy & Fat Loss Reset

A 12-week 1:1 coaching programme for founders who want to get their energy back, lose stubborn weight, and build a health system that fits their actual life.

Weeks 1–2

Energy Kickstart

We start with a 90-minute deep dive: your lifestyle, routine, nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and goals. Then we build your personalised reset plan. The first focus is fast momentum: morning light, better sleep timing, simple movement, fewer energy crashes. Most clients notice a clear shift within the first fortnight.

Weeks 3–10

Fat Loss & Health Reset

Once your energy is moving, we build the systems that drive sustainable results: protein-focused nutrition, efficient training, daily movement, sleep consistency, and workday structure. Weekly 1:1 calls to review progress and adjust around real life. Travel, work stress, social events, bad weeks, we plan for all of it.

Weeks 11–12

Lock It In

The final phase is about making the results stick. We review what worked, what still needs attention, and how to maintain momentum after the programme ends. The goal shifts from following a plan to this just being how you live.

Common questions

Questions founders ask before booking

Will this fall apart when life gets busy?

That's the most common reason people hesitate, and it's a fair one. Most programs are built for people with ideal schedules. This one is built specifically around the chaos of running a business. One client came back from two weeks in Sri Lanka and maintained his 5kg weight loss with his routine completely intact. Another did the entire programme over WhatsApp without a single video call. We build systems that survive real life — not ones that require it to be perfect.

What if I'm embarrassed about how far things have slipped?

Almost every founder I work with says some version of this on the first call. They've built something genuinely impressive and their health quietly declined while they were doing it. There's nothing to feel embarrassed about — the environment you were operating in made this predictable. I'm not here to judge how you got here. I'm here to help you change the trajectory from here.

What actually happens on the health strategy call?

It's 45 minutes. I'll ask about your current situation — energy, sleep, weight, routine, what you've already tried — and you can ask me anything about the programme. There's no script and no pressure. If I don't think I can help you, I'll tell you that. If it seems like a good fit, I'll explain how we'd start. You'll leave with a clearer picture of what's going on, regardless of what you decide.

Is this safe if I'm on medication?

This is where my background matters. I'm an AHPRA-registered pharmacist who specialised in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolic health for over a decade — and held a UK independent prescribing qualification in that specialty. I understand medications, interactions, and contraindications in a way most health coaches don't. If you're on medication for blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, or sleep — that's not a barrier to working together, it's context I factor into the plan from the start.

I've tried things before. Why would this be different?

Personal trainers address exercise. Nutritionists address food. Most programmes pick one thing and hope it's enough. I address the whole system: your body clock, your light environment, when and what you eat, how you move, your sleep quality, and your stress load. Most founders who've struggled before didn't lack discipline — they had a broken environment that made consistency nearly impossible. That's what we fix first.

How much time does this actually take each week?

One 1:1 session per week, typically 45 minutes. Two 30-minute resistance sessions if you want them. The rest of the changes — morning light, meal timing, sleep environment, daily walking — are built into time you're already spending. You're not adding hours to your week. Most clients tell me they get time back because their energy and focus improve enough to get more done in less time.

What results can I realistically expect?

Most clients notice a clear shift in energy within the first 14 days. Over 90 days, typical results include 5–13kg of fat loss, significant reduction in belly size, energy scores rising from 3–4/10 to 8–9/10, better sleep, improved blood markers, and a routine that holds up when life gets busy. Results depend on your starting point and consistency. If you do the work and don't see improvement in energy, sleep quality, and one tracked body composition metric within 30 days, I'll refund every dollar.

Do I need to go to the gym?

No, but it helps. The programme works with or without a gym — two 30-minute resistance sessions and one short sprint session per week can all be done at home with minimal equipment. That said, if you have access to a gym and enjoy it, we'll factor that in. The non-negotiables are daily walking and consistent movement throughout the day. Most people get better results when they add the resistance training, but it's not a requirement to start.

Your business is thriving.
Your body didn't get the memo.
