Hi there, my name is Tom and I’m the founder and head coach at TR6 Health & Nutrition. My ambition is to help people like you live a longer, happier and more fulfilling life. By my mid 20’s I was morbidly overweight weighing in at a majorly unhealthy 24 stone. I began getting some quite serious health issues as a result of my lifestyle. I had got to the point where I had the very real fear that if I didn't take some drastic action my life would come to a premature end. The desire and drive to make a change was strong, however the knowledge and skill-set of the actual actions I needed to take was missing, leading to me trying multiple unsustainable ‘fad’ diets and making poor life choices despite my best intentions.
​
In some instances the purposeful ‘positive’ choices and actions I took actually had the opposite effect and had further detrimental effects on both my physical and mental well-being. I’d reached a crossroads and I was left with a choice, continue on the same path I was on, doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result (I think that is a widely known definition of insanity) or, I could invest in myself and take on a coach who would assist and guide me to get to where I wanted to be. This proved to be the best decision I could have ever taken and the results saw me drop over 10 stone in body weight and completely transform my life. Was it easy? Absolutely not, did I relapse back into old ways and habits? You can bet your life I did (multiple times) however with guidance, education and consistency the pieces all started slotting into place.
This was me before I considered changing my life
This was me after working with a coach
To achieve, but more importantly maintain the above transformation took time, knowledge, consistency, will power, inner strength, support, guidance and a whole host of other things. Every single one of those things you will have access to also, it's just a case of finding and unlocking them in the right way! Throughout the journey I have been on I learnt that trying to do things on your own will only get you so far. For the majority of us in life we need help, we cannot be specialists in everything which is why we call upon a plumber if we have a leaky tap, why we take our car to a mechanic to fix the knocking sound the engine is making, we wouldn’t expect to have all the answers to the things that go wrong in our lives so why would our physical and mental health be any different? Understanding and accepting this is what made me want to be the one to help others. Through my family, personal and professional life I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to travel and work all over the world, dealing with people from different cultures, displaying different behaviours and mentalities. I’ve been part of a team growing a business from an annual turnover of £2m to £50m. I have taken all of these experiences and added to them further with education by training in nutrition and psychotherapy.
​
Being exposed to the trials and tribulations that all of that has entailed have helped me build up a knowledge and experience bank that will allow me to guide you in living your best life.These experiences and skills undoubtedly put me in a position to help you reach the goals and ambitions you have set for yourself, however big they may feel. You CAN achieve anything you set your mind to!
​
My method as a coach is not just to tell you what to do. I am of the firm belief that YOU are the ultimate expert in your own life. You will have all the answers, I will just assist in helping you find those answers by mentoring, coaching and challenging you and with compassion and empathy guide you through the steps needed to make permanent changes in your life, all the while educating you so you have all the tools at your disposal to continue on your journey for the rest of your days.
​
Having a coach can be life changing. Let me be the one to guide you through that life change and I guarantee you will NEVER LOOK BACK!
