Most nutrition plans run on static assumptions about how the body should respond. This methodology runs on the data your body produces: metabolic markers, intake, physiological response.
That data is read through a structured framework, then adjusted on a feedback loop as your body changes. The programme tracks your physiology, not a population average.
Every programme starts with a comprehensive read of where the body actually is. Six inputs, captured and tracked across the programme.
Segmental analysis from your gym BIA scanner, smart home scale, or wearable. Lean mass, fat mass, visceral fat index, water distribution, basal metabolic rate. The multimodal model reads whichever data source you have access to.
Multi-day food log. Macro and micronutrient analysis, meal timing, fibre, sugar load, processed-food ratio.
Current programme, equipment, history, injuries, recovery capacity. We design around what you can actually do.
Sleep, stress, occupation, training load, recovery patterns. The variables that mediate every other input.
Where appropriate, in coordination with your GP. Existing conditions and medications shape what fits and what does not.
Where you provide it. Lipids, fasting insulin, ApoB, inflammatory markers, hormones. We do not order labs.
Scale weight vs the scan
In Matt's words
Scale weight moves with water, glycogen and meal timing. A body composition scan separates fat, lean mass and visceral fat, so a week where the scale stalls can still be a week of real progress. Matt walks through the difference in one take.
All evidence-based. Used together to build a complete picture around you.
A composite inflammatory score from your food log, cross-referenced against published DII research. Identifies the specific drivers of systemic inflammation.
Models the total glycaemic impact of your current diet. Accounts for portion size, food pairings, and timing, not just GI tables.
Identifies dietary and lifestyle drivers of cortisol dysregulation. Caffeine, meal timing, sleep, and training load read together for stress-driven fat storage patterns.
Sex-specific read of the major hormonal axes. Testosterone and SHBG for men; oestrogen, progesterone, and cycle phase for women.
Projects forward from your scan and training stimulus. Six-, twelve-, and eighteen-week projections, calibrated against similar client profiles.
Visceral adipose tissue is the metabolic risk lever. We track it directly via scan and shape interventions to move it specifically.
Most diets lose muscle alongside fat. Protocols built around protein ceilings, training stimulus, and recovery. Fat loss without erasing lean tissue.
No factor is read alone. Dr Walley's structural model, built from his PhD research in advanced research methods, maps how the eight factors drive each other, so a shift in one is read for what it does to the rest. Scored against a 2,846-food dataset and cross-referenced against the trajectories of 1,380+ clients, it is how the same inputs produce a different plan for a different body.
For years, Matt did this pattern-matching by hand, scan by scan, client by client. Computational analysis now fast-tracks that first pass, reading every input at once and surfacing the same patterns faster. Matt reviews, decides, and sets every prescription himself. It is what makes this depth of analysis workable for more than a handful of clients.
The chart below renders the same eight health-factor curves we score on every report, fed by anonymised client meal patterns from the practice. Switch slot, toggle Typical NZ versus Inception Programme, and watch every curve respond to the same meal at once.
Factors inside safe band
3 / 8
Most typical NZ meals nail one or two factors and exceed several others. Controlling all eight at once is the hard part.
mmol/L
Blood sugar response and crash risk.
GL units
Aggregate carbohydrate impact across the meal.
IL-6 Δ
Postprandial inflammatory load through the next eight hours.
mEq
How hard the kidneys work to balance the meal.
nmol/L Δ
Stress and rebound-hunger response.
μmol/L SCFA
Microbiome fuel from fermentable fibre.
TEF + TG
Thermic effect of food versus lipaemia.
composite
Sex-steroid signalling support across the day.
Tap a card or scroll the row for the factor's read. Change the meal slot or pattern above and watch the curves redraw.
A desk-lunch pattern from uncoached food diaries. Refined carbs, low protein, no plant matter.
Read: Three pm crash by design. Inflammation, gut, and hormonal load all running positive into the evening. The curve barely returns to baseline before dinner.
Macros
Drawn from anonymised client meal patterns. No individual is identified.
Each of the eight factors has a dedicated page covering what it measures, why it matters, what moves it, and how we read it in your report. Grounded in published research and 1,380+ client outcomes.
