HI, I'M JULIE YORK
FOUNDER OF MY BEST LIFE HEALTH COACHING
At the age of 18, I started taking the contraceptive pill. Little did I know that the impact would be the start of a rollercoaster dieting journey for the next 30 years. Yes, you guessed it, like many other Women, I moved from one diet to the next, losing weight successfully, only to put it back on again a few months later, as I couldn’t stick to the strict demands of “low fat”, “shakes”, “calorie counting” or whatever the latest fad was. This, combined with working in an industry where it is expected of you to socialise and entertain on a regular basis, was becoming relentless and having an effect on my health.
Fast forward to 2022 (just having turned 50), I realised that my job I had loved for so many years and my lifestyle, were not sustainable any longer. Did I really want to keep on surviving on caffeine, sugar and alcohol to get me through the day? As an older Mother of an only child, I wanted to be around for a lot longer and with good health, mentally and physically.
In 2023, I decided enough was enough and joined the Health Coaches Academy. Today, I am an accredited Health Coach, having taken my previous skills of delivering training and relationship building and combined them with my newfound knowledge of nutrition and coaching. Having now implemented this knowledge into my own life, I’ve lost weight AND kept it off for over a year!
