In November 2022, Ellis weighed nearly 30 stone. He was living with heart failure, breathing issues, and leg ulcers. The NHS offered him gastric surgery - a last resort. But Ellis made the decision to fight for his life naturally, without surgery. He changed his mindset, transformed his habits, learned everything he could about nutrition and health, and began losing weight. To date, he has lost 9 stone - and is still on his journey.

Now, Ellis is using his lived experience to help others. As someone who has ‘been there’, Ellis offers realism, empathy, and a level of trust and relatability that many other health programmes can’t offer. Participants walk the journey alongside him - led by someone who truly understands what they’re going through.
