A FOOTBALLER and wellbeing coach from Leamington has won an international award for his ‘life-changing’ nutrition programme.
Leamington FC player Jon Burgess has been awarded the European ‘Hope of Synergy’ award for the impact his 21 Day Nutrition Kick Start Programme has on people across the country.
Jon, from Radford Semele, was chosen from thousands of other wellbeing coaches across Europe for the award.
His programme, which can be accessed online, focuses on healthy eating and targets gut health by balancing the body’s microbiome.
So far some 300 people have used the programme and Jon says many have experienced ‘life-changing’ results’ such as weight loss, improving sleep, energy and mood, reducing bloating, food cravings, aches and pains and supporting a healthy immune system.
He said: “It’s a real boost to be recognised for the work I’m doing and adds to the ongoing motivation I have to help more people enjoy the benefits of better health.
“The programme is suitable for people who want to take their first step to improve their health to athletes and regular exercisers who want to improve their performance and recovery.”
Along with being recognised for supporting people through the programme, the award also recognised the mentoring support and systems Jon gives to fellow coaches to support people through the programme.
He said: “The pandemic and lockdown experiences have highlighted the importance of health and it’s pleasing to see many people are starting to take responsibility for their own lifestyle choices and prioritise health.
“I really enjoy supporting people through the programme and more than ever people are appreciating being part of a positive community. The group are always encouraging each other by sharing simple, tasty meal ideas and celebrating their successes.”
