What changes when the food changes

Ash was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. After following the protocol we built together, their diabetes went into remission, confirmed by their own doctor’s bloods.

When the bloods come back different
The most common reason people find me is a test result they weren’t expecting. These are the clients who came in with numbers they wanted to move.
Luke is a wealth of knowledge if you are looking for nutrition advice. He cares deeply about helping as many people as he can with their nutrition journeys and is amazingly supportive as you navigate your new lifestyle. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and after a month my doctor was absolutely amazed at my blood test results after following Luke’s advice. I could not recommend his Wellness Package more.
Update: Just wanted to let you know that your support was one of the main factors in sending my diabetes into remission! I went from 59 to 39 HbA1c in 2 and a half months.

Who do you turn to when your blood test results are showing things you’re not happy with, like prediabetes and metabolic syndrome? When your gut health isn’t great and you also have Graves’ disease, what do you do?
Well, I visited Luke from Planted Nutrition. I found him to be friendly, very supportive and a wealth of knowledge about nutrition and plant-based eating. The way Luke explained the various food groups and their reactions to my health and intolerances was clear to understand and I greatly appreciated this. My eating plan was tweaked and supplements suggested, along with links to suitable simple recipes too.
My blood tests were repeated a month later and the results were great — my doctor was surprised and told me to keep on doing whatever you are doing. And YES I will. I signed up for Luke’s Wellness Package and it was worth every cent. Thanks Luke for helping me get my health back on track.

After being diagnosed with pre-diabetes, Luke gave me advice that got my blood sugar level back under control. Thank you Luke, I feel so much better now.

I followed Luke’s protocol diligently, and the results speak for themselves. My latest blood tests show significant improvement across the board. I’m finally back to feeling like myself and functioning much better in my daily life.

Gut health
Understanding what’s actually going on
Bloating and discomfort rarely need a list of banned foods. They need an explanation you can act on.
I wanted to work with Luke as I was having some gut issues including bloating and discomfort when eating certain foods. During our first session, Luke and I discussed gut health and he explained some awesome information to me about the gut which helped me understand why I was getting bloating and discomfort from certain foods at certain times. Luke gave me lots of time to ask questions and supported me with everything I wanted to know.
Luke then put together an awesome protocol for me with all the information we’d discussed and more, and simple steps I could take to improve my gut health, which is so useful to have. I really like that Luke takes a holistic and realistic approach to nutrition. He didn’t tell me to cut things from my diet, but explained easy ways I could improve my gut health and overall wellbeing, including things like mindful eating which I really liked.
I recommend working with Luke if you’d like to understand gut health more and find simple ways to improve your wellbeing through nutrition and lifestyle.

Hormones & whole-person health
When it’s more than one thing
Stress, hormones and gut health don’t queue up politely one at a time. Sometimes the whole picture has to be addressed at once.
Luke was recommended to me by a close friend a few months ago. When I met with him for our first session I was at a bit of a breaking point — I had been recently diagnosed with PCOS, and had also spent the better half of a year navigating immense and overwhelming work/life stress, with symptoms that had begun to manifest their way from my mental space into my physical body. Needless to say I was becoming aware — firsthand and all at once — of the very real consequences of imbalance.
My two sessions with Luke were exactly what I needed. Luke spent time and energy getting to know me and my unique situation. He had a beautifully eloquent way of explaining some of the science behind what I was experiencing, which was equally validating as it was motivating. He then came up with a personalised nutrition plan tailored to my specific needs. Luke gave me simple suggestions that became easy habits, and the results were clear within as little as a couple of weeks. He also gave me an awesome supplement guide with some of his recommended vitamins, complete with the links for where I could buy them.
Months following my two sessions with Luke I’m a new version of myself. My mental and physical wellbeing have improved tenfold, and I continue to feel inspired and empowered by the insight he shared with me on gut health, hormonal health, and holistic wellbeing. Thank you Luke!

The 12-week transformation
The part most plans leave out
Knowing what to eat is the easy half. Staying with it for twelve weeks is the half that actually changes things.
I have just finished the 12 week transformation package with Luke. This gave me a great base as a start to a complete diet and lifestyle change.
What I needed most from my time with Luke was help with being accountable — which he delivered, with follow-ups, food combination ideas, recipes, regular check-ins, and availability.
I found Luke to be a very good listener, and passionate in what he does, so any of the programs he has on offer I now know would be followed with his genuine thoroughness and care. I look forward to a continuing journey with you Luke.

In short
Since working with Luke, our family’s transition to a plant-based diet has been incredibly smooth. The biggest win has been the massive change in our daughter — she’s now choosing whole foods over processed snacks, feels much better, and is finally sleeping through the night! Luke’s YouTube videos make the ‘why’ behind the nutrition so easy to understand. We feel supported, informed, and empowered to make healthy choices that actually work for our busy lives.
NikkiFamily plant-based transition
Luke’s expertise is fabulous. He helped me tackle long-term health issues with advice that is both practical and evidence-based. He’s a pleasant, trustworthy professional who genuinely wants the best for his clients. Highly recommended!
AnnabelLong-term health issues
I got Luke to help me with nutrition consulting. His information was really good and clear and he sent me an amazing document after we talked with everything that we talked about in it, and exactly the steps I needed to follow to make the changes I wanted to make. He was a really nice guy and really easy to work with. If you’re thinking about finding someone to help you out with your nutrition then I can definitely recommend him!

Luke makes you feel like he’s your best mate, but also your doctor. He balances keeping a professional perception with personal relation, which made him extremely easy to talk to, and even easier to listen to. He has a knack for being relatable and friendly whilst showcasing his evidently top-tier competence.
JackGeneral nutrition
Luke’s in-depth knowledge of nutrition really helped me to sort out my diet to optimise my wellbeing. If only we learned this stuff as kids we would all be far, far healthier. Thanks so much Luke!!!

Want to add yours? If we’ve worked together and you’d be happy to share how it went, I’d be genuinely grateful. A couple of sentences is plenty.
An honest note on results
These are real outcomes from real clients, shared with their permission and published as they wrote them. They are not a promise of what will happen for you. Nutrition works differently in every body, and the people above did the hard part themselves, consistently, over weeks and months.
Nutrition support is not a substitute for medical care. I work alongside your GP and specialists, never instead of them, and I’ll tell you plainly if what you’re describing needs a doctor rather than a nutritionist.
