Rob Hardy, Dip NLC IHS. 
I’m an IHS-certified Nutritionist & Lifestyle Coach based in Chester, Cheshire in the UK, and I work online with professionals in their 30s to 60s across the UK (and beyond) who are struggling with low energy, gut issues or hormone-related symptoms.
I’ve been a full member of the UK & International Health Coaches Association (UKIHCA) since 2019. The services I provide help you optimise your:
- Diet & nutrition
- Exercise & movement
- Stress & relaxation
- Circadian rhythm
- Energy levels
- Sleep quality
Most importantly, I help you put this into practice in a realistic, step-by-step way that fits around work, family and everything else you have on your plate.
Why I’m Passionate About Health & Wellness:
Having worked in high-pressure corporate roles, I’ve seen how stress and burnout can destroy health for everyone. Additionally, as a husband of 20 years and proud dad of two teenage daughters, I’ve become very aware of the struggles many women face at each stage of life – from PCOS and endometriosis in the teenage years, to post-partum issues after childbirth, and the peri- and post-menopause.
I see how often these symptoms are downplayed or brushed aside, even when they’re having a big impact on energy, digestion, sleep, mood and overall quality of life.
I’m passionate about changing this – combining up-to-date nutrition and lifestyle science with a very personalised, practical approach, so you have the clear plan and support you need to feel more like yourself again.
How I Work With You:
My 1-to-1 online health coaching programme is designed for people who are ready to look a bit deeper than quick fixes and generic plans.
When you work with me, you can expect:
- Time to talk things through properly
I start by getting a detailed picture of your health history, current symptoms, routines, food preferences, work patterns, stress levels and sleep. Nothing is rushed. - A tailored plan, not a one-size-fits-all diet
I don’t deliver ‘template’ meal plans or extreme diets. Instead, we focus on realistic changes to your eating, movement, stress management and sleep that fit your life and are sustainable. - Clear explanations in plain English
I translate the latest research on hormones, gut health, metabolic health and circadian rhythm into simple explanations, so you understand why we’re focusing on certain changes. - Support and accountability
During our sessions you have space to review what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s getting in the way. Together we adjust the plan so it stays achievable and keeps moving you forward. - Independent, unbiased guidance
I don’t sell supplements or products, so any suggestions I make are based solely on what I believe will genuinely help you.
How Working With Me Can Help You:
Every situation is unique, but common results my clients experience over time include:
- More consistent daytime energy and fewer afternoon “crashes”
- Calmer digestion – less bloating, discomfort and IBS-type flare-ups
- A clearer, more settled mind and fewer hormone-related mood swings
- Improved sleep quality and easier mornings
- Feeling more “even” through perimenopause and menopause
- Gradual, sustainable changes in weight and body composition – without extreme dieting
- A clearer sense of control over your own health, rather than guessing or jumping from plan to plan
As one client described it, each piece of advice you receive is a “distilled drop of scientifically sound knowledge”, turned into practical steps you can use in everyday life.
My Background & Experience:
Before becoming a full-time health coach, I spent many years working in demanding corporate environments. I’ve seen first-hand how long hours, sitting for most of the day, constant emails and high stress gradually drain people’s health.
I retrained with the Institute of Health Sciences (IHS) and completed my Diploma in Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching (NLC), so I could support people more directly with their health. Since then I’ve worked with clients one-to-one, helping them restore energy, improve gut health and navigate hormonal changes with more confidence.
Alongside individual coaching, I have also delivered talks and workshops for organisations on topics such as energy, stress resilience, sleep and nutrition. This experience helps me understand the real pressures my clients face in the workplace and design plans that work in busy, modern life.
(If you’d like to know more about my corporate talks and workshops, please see my Corporate Health & Wellness pages.)
Is My Coaching Right for You?
You may find my approach a good fit if:
- you’re in your 30s to 60s
- you’re feeling tired more often than you’d like, or notice your energy isn’t what it used to be
- you’re dealing with gut discomfort, bloating or IBS-type symptoms
- hormones (eg PMS, perimenopause, menopause, male hormone changes or other issues) seem to be affecting your mood, sleep or day-to-day life
- you’re ready to look beyond short-term fixes and work on the underlying patterns
- you’d value clear explanations, practical steps and support from the same person throughout
If this sounds like you, I’d be very happy to talk things through.
Next Step:
If you’d like to explore whether my 12-session 1-to-1 online coaching could help you, the easiest next step is to book a free, no-obligation 30-minute health review call.
On this call we’ll:
- talk through what you’re currently experiencing
- clarify what you’d love to be different
- discuss whether my coaching programme is likely to be a good fit for you
If it feels right for both of us, I’ll explain how the 12-session programme works and answer any questions you may have. If not, you’ll still leave the call with a clearer sense of your next steps.
You can find out more about my coaching programme on my 1-to-1 Health Coaching page, or contact me now to book your free 30-minute health review call.
