Zachary Martin · Health Advisor

Hi, I'm Zak — your guide to type 2 diabetes and good health.

I deliver sessions for the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, as well as health workshops for charities, companies, and my own community programme in London and Essex.

I also deliver 1-1 health consultations for people in need of support and guidance. No matter where you are in your journey, I can help you find a path forward.

Where you are now

Good health is a journey.

Whether you are watching my videos, reading my book, or working with me directly, I will walk you through the world of health and guide you in making small and effective changes.

Route 1 · The Book

The whole map, in one place.

Zak's Guide to Type 2 Diabetes and Good Health goes through the fundamentals of diabetes — blood glucose, insulin, HbA1c, symptoms, and complications. It then goes into great detail about nutrition, movement, stress, and sleep — the key areas of your health.

However, nothing in the body happens in isolation, so this book connects the dots between the topics above and issues like inflammation, gut health, hormones, heart health, and even mental health.

This is not just my guide to type 2 diabetes, it's my guide to good health. It is easy to read, full of colourful illustrations, and travel-size.

Route 2 · Work with Zak

Work with me direct.

If you would like hands-on support and guidance, request a free consultation!

We will discuss each area of your health and find small changes which will help you reach your goals.

There is no pressure to change everything. My approach is centred around helping you make changes that are sustainable, yet effective.

Tailored to you

Bring your recent bloods and BMI if you have them. If not, we will start with how you feel and the goals you'd like to set.

Weekly or monthly check-ins

We can have a video call every week or every month depending on your needs, and you are welcome to message me in between if you need additional support.

Alongside your GP

Health consultations do not replace medical care and advice from your GP. Therefore, it is important to continue to check in with your GP, especially if you are on medication.
