Greg's WildFit Journey

I’ve been a diabetic for 27 years and I’ve had ulcerative colitis for 10 – autoimmune diseases run in the family. I thought I had everything under control, although there were clear indicators that I could do much better. I had a belly and I was at least six kilograms too heavy; I was taking more insulin than a colleague who was much larger than me; I was taking anti-inflammatory medication every second day when my specialist suggested to take it only when necessary; and I often felt fatigued. There were small things too. My cracked toenail hadn’t healed for five years and occasionally I got dandruff. My health doesn’t read well does it? Truthfully, I didn’t feel too bad and I thought I could live with my problems….

One day I was eating a very ordinary meal at a camp with some friends. I can’t remember the discussion, but considering soggy cardboard could have tasted better than what I was eating, it was probably about how bad the food was. One friend, Mark O’Toole, started talking about Wildfit. He mentioned the significant changes that occurred in his life because of Wildfit and he mentioned that he was a Wildfit coach. He asked if I was interested in giving the 90-day challenge a go. Now some of those health indicators mentioned above were running through my head. I expressed my interest and a couple of months later, I started the Wildfit 90-day challenge!

It’s now more than one month since the challenge finished and I’m still living Wildfit. And it isn’t difficult. Here is why:

• The Wildfit program isn’t like other diets. You aren’t thrown into the deep end and expected to swim. The program uses psychology coupled with dietary change to ensure success in the short-term and the long-term. In hindsight, the way healthy eating is incorporated into the program is very clever;
• Support is a critical component of the 90-day challenge. There is a certified coach (more about Mark later) that keeps contact, discusses with you the program, what you are going through, coordinates meetings, provides recipes and generally points you in the right direction for success. I undertook the program with other participants, whom I met via video conferencing at least twice per week. That was comforting! There are also videos from the founder and other information is provided. And after the program has finished, there are groups on social media that have finished the program too. There is no shortage of support!

If I had to choose one standout facet of the program, it is the ever-supportive coach. And mine never let me down. My coach was Mark O’Toole, who lives in the Gold Coast hinterland. But it doesn’t matter where he lives in relation to the participants because of the amazing online support that he offers. He has had participants living on the other side of the globe. Mark was always there with inspiration and answering tough questions, thereby making the journey relatively easy. He even connected me with another diabetic who happened to be a Wildfit coach, a doctor and someone who was writing a book on diabetes and Wildfit! Amazing! I strongly recommend talking to Mark – he is passionate about healthy living and genuinely wants people to be happy and healthy.

Lastly, what did I get out of wildfit? My list of problems that I provided at the start of this testimonial can be countered with the side effects I experienced by the end of the program:

• I lost more than seven kilograms and reached a weight that I last experienced when I was a teenager;
• I lost more than 11 centimetres around my stomach;
• I’m taking much less insulin compared to before the diet;
• I don’t need to take medicine for ulcerative colitis anymore;
• My cracked toenail has now healed;
• I don’t have dandruff;
• I have much more energy and part of that is because I don’t have massive upward and downward glucose spikes anymore;
• I feel better in my own skin.

These benefits are because I’m eating and drinking healthily. It was easy to make the change because of how the 90-day challenge is structured and because of the support from fellow participants and an amazing coach. Check it out!

Naise's WildFit Journey

When I started Wildfit with Mark, I thought I was eating healthy in general. I had few minor health issues, so I put it down to getting old and didn't think much of it.

I live a busy life and, as a consequence, I was always tired, bloated, I would run out of energy, I didn’t sleep well, I had dry skin and high blood pressure.

This program is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change, consolidating nutrition and psychology. It is powerful and transforming ....

I have learnt SO much from this, that it is now a way of life for me. I know what's good for me and what's not. I understand the relationship between food and my body. I understand the many types of hungers that are often mistaken for food. I gained insights into the food industry, and I now understand more clearly, how that powerful mind of ours is controlling the decision we make about our food.

I now have a relationship with food, and it is an amazing transformation and a huge learning experience both mentally and physically.

I have lost 7 kilos, no meds for blood pressure, skin feels revived, energy level is high and best of all I am in control of how I feel, look and live.

If you want lasting lifestyle change, contact Mark. He is the man, he is the most helpful, knowledgeable, fair dinkum, professional and passionate coach you will ever met. You won’t regret it.

Because of his encouragement and examples, I now eat well, sleep well, enjoying life and I am also exercising 3x a week + Yoga.

I have learnt to slow down taking one day and one step at a time.

Life is what you make it.

Thanks Mark!
