ENROL TODAY
Are you struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, and the frustration of not knowing how to make lasting changes despite your best efforts?
You're in the right place.
Your body thrives on stability, nourishment, and a calm nervous system. It’s not just calories that determine how your body burns and stores fat—your hormones play a central role. This program gives you the blueprint for eating in a way that supports your hormonal health, rather than working against it by restricting food.
Say goodbye to guilt, overwhelm, and calorie counting. The Non-Diet Method offers an evidence-based approach to eating for life, helping you develop a positive, peaceful relationship with food that nourishes your metabolism. This means more energy, less fatigue, better moods, and sustainable weight management.
When you join The Non-Diet Method, you’ll receive expert coaching on how to implement these practices in your daily life, honoring the complex connection between your nervous system, emotions, and your relationship with food.

Six simple steps to improving your metabolic health...
The Non-Diet Method is a comprehensive, nutrition education and coaching program designed specifically for busy women who are ready to transform their relationship with food and reclaim their energy. These are the six steps we take together.
Step 1: Mindful awareness around food and your body
In the first couple of weeks we use a mindful eating journal to help you identify patterns of behavior around food that are keeping you stuck. You will learn how to tune in to your natural hunger and fullness cues and use a deeper level of connection to support you in eating more intuitively.
Step 2: Breaking your overnight fast to support metabolic health
You'll learn how to design your breakfast so that you feel more energised, less tired and fuller throughout the day.
Step 3: Balance your blood sugars
You'll get the skills to design your meals in a way that helps you to naturally manage your cravings, experience better moods and be less likely to experience slumps in your energy levels.
Step 4: Regulating your nervous system
Understand how stress impacts your digestion, body composition and appetite and learn valuable techniques that will help you to improve your digestion and shift stubborn weight.
Step 5: The value of planning, preparation and your overnight fast.
Eliminate the stress of meal planning. Learn strategies that make dinner time—and your whole day—easier and more enjoyable.
Step 6: Supporting the health of your cells for metabolic health.
Nutrition techniques that help your body to give you the energy you need. Strengthen your immune system and enhance your metabolic health - my motto is add don't take away!
Unleash your potential with The Non-Diet Method – where evidence-based nutrition and REAL self-care practices will help you to redefine your relationship with food.

Gill
"I feel I’ve learned so much from meeting Josie at a retreat when I desperately needed nourishment, to joining the Non-Diet Method. I am now the queen of batch cooking; I’ve learned to eat when I need to and listen to my body, rather than the clock and I chuck extra veg, lentils and beans in just about everything. I’m even growing spinach! Importantly though I’m no longer pre-diabetic and keep my blood sugar well within the ‘normal’ range".
Tracy
"I've slept really well, had less mood fluctuations and generally feel calmer than I ever have. I've felt positive and even lost some weight which has been a great start in my journey".
Sue
"Thank you so much for all your education, help and support. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from the programme abut food, nutrition, and myself! I’ve also lost 10kgs since starting the programme, and am more or less managing to maintain that, despite being tempted to eat a bit more comfort food over the colder months".
