You’ve followed the advice. You’ve counted the calories. You’ve done the long runs. And still, the belly fat, the brain fog, the energy crash at 3pm. The problem isn’t your effort or your discipline. It’s the advice. As a Melbourne health coach specialising in men over 40, I’m here to show you what’s actually going on.
The Transformations
Speak for Themselves
Rated 5.0 by 75+ clients
Men over 40 in Melbourne are doing everything the “experts” recommend, and it’s making them fatter, more exhausted, and more frustrated every year. The problem isn’t your effort. It’s the advice.
The food pyramid was built on agricultural economics and religion, not nutritional science. The Australian government will never reverse dietary guidelines because doing so would expose decades of health policy failure and open them to a massive class action from diabetics and people with metabolic conditions.
Meanwhile, you’re told to eat less fat, run more kilometers, and count more calories. And the belly fat stays. Because that advice completely ignores how your hormones actually work after 40.
Pain Points
MYTH 1
Eat Less Fat, Weigh Less
Low-fat diets removed protective fats and replaced them with refined carbohydrates. The result? Spiking insulin, chronic fat storage, and a world that’s fatter and more diabetic than ever. Fat doesn’t make you fat. Excess insulin and inflammation does.
MYTH 2
Just Run More
Chronic cardio abuses your fight-or-flight stress response, spikes cortisol, destroys testosterone balance, and actively promotes fat storage. I see and hear this all the time, men working themselves into the ground and still carrying a spare tyre.
MYTH 3
Calories In, Calories Out
This model ignores your master hormone, insulin. Moderating carbohydrate intake drives about 80% of body composition outcomes. Exercise, sleep, and stress account for the other about 20%. This is the opposite of what the industry wants you to believe.
MYTH 4
More Frequent Meals = Better Metabolism
Eating six times a day keeps insulin chronically elevated. I spent years on this approach, running 70km a week, watching everything, and I was still overweight, hungry, and exhausted. Eating Low Carb and focusing on proteinProtien changed everything within months.
Forget calorie counting. Forget chronic cardio. My approach addresses the root cause, your hormonal and metabolic environment, and builds sustainable results through three integrated pillars.
01
Switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat as your primary fuel. Regulate blood sugar, reverse insulin resistance, and break the cycle
of hunger and energy crashes, without
starving yourself.
02
Protect and rebuild your testosterone–cortisol balance through smart, strategic strength training. Leave chronic cardio behind. Build the body composition you actually want.
03
As an ICF Professional Certified Coach, I work with the psychological drivers behind your habits, the beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck, to build a lifestyle that doesn’t require constant willpower.
I’m not a 28-year-old PT selling you a transformation. I’m a 60-year-old man. When I was 48, I was overweight, constantly sick and running 70km a week getting nowhere. I was paying a dietician $200 an hour to keep me fat, until I fundamentally challenged everything I believed about nutrition and training.
Everything I teach, I’ve lived. My body composition is better now than it was in my 30s. I’m faster, stronger, and healthier. And I’ve helped hundreds of men and women across Melbourne and around the world achieve the same shift.

Melbourne is a city that demands a lot from its professionals. Long days in the CBD, client dinners, back-to-back meetings, and a café culture that makes it easy to fuel yourself on muffins and macchiatos. If you’re a man over 40 in Melbourne trying to manage your health alongside a demanding career, you know the challenge personally.
As a Melbourne health coach for men over 40, Andre works with clients from the inner city through to Melbourne’s eastern, northern, and bayside suburbs. Whether you’re in Toorak, St Kilda, Hawthorn, Carlton, Docklands, or further afield, in-person sessions can be arranged.
Andre’s Weight Loss Low Carb Melbourne coaching is suited to time-crunched executives and business owners who need an approach that fits into real life, not a protocol that requires four hours in the gym and a personal chef. This is metabolic health coaching designed for the Melbourne lifestyle.

Common Questions from Melbourne Men
A health coach works with you to identify the root causes behind poor energy, weight gain, and declining vitality, and builds a personalised framework to address them. Unlike a personal trainer who focuses on exercise, a health coach integrates nutrition, hormonal health, sleep, stress management, and behaviour change into a whole-person approach. It works.
For most men over 40, a Low-Carb-High-Fat approach can be highly beneficial, particularly for those showing signs of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or stubborn belly fat. It’s backed by research from Dr. Stephen Phinney, Prof. Tim Noakes, and Dr. Jason Fung. As with any significant dietary change, qualified support is essential, which is exactly what Andre provides.
A personal trainer designs your workouts. Andre addresses the full picture, what you eat, how your hormones respond, how you sleep, how you manage stress, and how your mindset either drives or derails your progress. He holds ICF Professional Coach certification alongside his PT and triathlon credentials, making the psychological and behavioural dimensions of change central to his work.
No. While Andre works with clients in-person across Melbourne, he coaches men around the world online. If you’re in regional Victoria or interstate, online coaching delivers the same personalised LCHF nutrition framework, training approach, and accountability structure.
Many clients notice meaningful changes in energy and mental clarity within the first two to four weeks of adopting the LCHF approach, often before the scales shift noticeably. Significant body composition changes typically unfold over three to six months. These changes can be sustained, because the approach works with your metabolism, not against it.
Sessions begin with a review of how your week has gone, nutrition, training, sleep, stress, and how you’re feeling. From there, we troubleshoot, adjust your plan if needed, and address any mindset or behavioural patterns that are helping or hindering your progress. Sessions can be in-person but 95% of his work is via video call.
After ordering online, you will receive an email confirmation from eWAY containing your order details (if you have provided your email address).
