My weight-loss journey started before I joined up with Brendon & Nikayla at Dynamic Nutrition.
After a year of adversity, and setbacks – I had set out on my own to achieve some goals. After competing in half marathons in the past, in 2015, at rock bottom, I set upon running my third half marathon – my first in 10 years after knee surgeries. It certainly wasn’t my greatest. It wasn’t good enough for me, and I set a new goal to run one in under two hours. I trained hard. I trained because it was the only thing I had control over. I trained because it kept my mind of everything else. And I trained because that little boost of endorphins got me through the day. I achieved my goal. I ran 21.1km in 1hr 58 mins. But I had run myself sick. I even spewed after the run.
I was running a business and working another part time job. Not eating enough, not getting the right supplements, and not getting enough sleep – my gut health had deteriorated, my stress levels were through the roof, and I also didn’t have another goal to work towards.
Self-esteem was at an all-time low. I had achieved this feat, and lost 17kgs in doing so, but mentally, the words of others put-downs were still creeping into my world. Was I ever going to be good enough?
It was in July of 2016 I got in touch with Brendon. He looked at my current lifestyle, eating and training habits, and took all my measurements. First things first – he wanted to get me healthy. I walked out my appointment, knowing I was in good hands, and that he genuinely cared about my health. I received a nutrition plan tailored just for me, with the right supplements to support my current lifestyle.
Following check-ins have revealed different aspects of my body that have required attention, and Brendon has been quick to action the right channels to get everything sorted. It’s this quick, hands on approach that sets Dynamic Nutrition well above the crowd.
With my new goal in mind of wanting to compete in a figure competition (a long term one I never thought would be an achievable), Brendon put me on to Nikayla for training – the other part of the team. Nikayla took into account my goals, tested me for weaknesses in my body, and firstly set them straight. We have recently moved on to some tougher training- a programme put together just for me – which I’m sure she enjoys watching my gym face.
Both Brendon & Nikayla are an absolute wealth of knowledge. They are genuine, they care about you, your health and well-being, and helping you achieve your goals – whatever they may be.
My story isn’t finished yet, but both Brendon and Nikayla have worked together to get me healthy – starting from the inside out. It takes time and commitment – which they will absolutely mirror for you. I look forward to my training with Nikayla, and check-ins with Brendon, and the laughs. I’m happy to have them both on my team as we continue the journey. They get it.
