Being unable to do Crossfit meant that I needed another focus. So I started helping people with their nutrition from my sick bed whilst waiting for spinal surgery.

And that’s how the Food Ninja was born.

I realised very quickly that nutrition is only part of the puzzle.

Everyone knows what they should be doing, it’s not a knowledge problem. Many of us have lifestyles that prevent us from implementing that knowledge.

Over the years I’ve seen that sleep, stress, recovery, hormones, habits and our lifestyles all have an impact on health- so I threw myself into learning all about those to make sure I could help you sort all the health-related shit that’s holding you back.

To mark the 10 year anniversary of Food Ninja in 2024 I became the Lifestyle Ninja to truly reflect everything I have to offer you.

The result is true lifestyle changes with positive long term benefits- such as my client Jess who is still benefitting from our work over 3 years later:

” I was just speaking to Chris now and reminiscing on the lifestyle I had before you.

It wasn’t fun, let’s be honest. I was running my life like a business that’s understaffed and underpaid .. basically miserably!

I came to you because I wanted to lose weight, but together we achieved so much more than that.

Over the past 4 years, when people ask me “how did you lose all your weight” they are expecting an answer about some fad diet.

Instead I don’t tell them what to eat, or not eat. I tell them I changed my whole lifestyle! That’s how I did it.

Yes, I focused on what I ate, but it was so much more than that.

I also focused on my mental health, my work/life balance, my relationship with my husband and my kids, building my mental resilience, my stress management, and my fitness.

Over the 18 months we worked together from the beginning to the end, my life totally changed, in a good way!!

Now, 3 years later, I’m still living the same lifestyle I was when we finished our work together. ”  – Jess Ballard
