Hypertension - Lifestyle can make all the difference!

Did you know that high blood pressure is the single most important risk factor for death and disability?

However my experience is that most in the health sector focus on the small insignificant and reductionist principles that make little difference to improving health - usually because we can charge clients/patients more, increase client dependency based on our mode of treatment or dispense a pill to mask the underlying issue.

I used to suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) with the prospect of needing medication. Thank goodness I tried a change of lifestyle instead. Now my blood pressure is normal along with a healthy resting heart rate of 39 bpm. Read more about hypertension here...

Testimonial: Paleo Fitness and Nutrition

It's thanks to Darryl's Paleo Fitness workouts that I no longer have to live with back pain or take a cocktail of medication to manage that pain.  

I follow Darryl's bespoke virtual workout programme three times a week and I feel stronger and much happier. It's different from conventional workouts and it can be tough, but it's fun and you get results. I'm stronger and more mobile than I've been in years.

Darryl has also helped me with Nutrition. For years my weight had crept up steadily, something which Doctors attributed to my back injury. This made sense for a while; less activity + same level of food intake = weight gain. But this stopped making sense and I knew something wasn't right. Darryl ordered a comprehensive set of blood tests, which showed there was an issue with my liver, more specifically fat metabolism. I've been following Paleo nutrition for about a month now and I've lost over a stone (6.5kg/14lb)

Combining both Paleo fitness and nutrition has meant that my weight has come down, as has my blood pressure and body fat %, while my strength, mobility, fitness and metabolism have all increased.

I can highly recommend Darryl and his Paleo Fitness and nutrition programmes. They really do work!
