MEET DOUGLAS
I’m douglas — aka the ice cream ninja
My journey started in professional sport — football — where I wish i had the knowledge and insight that I have now, into performance nutrition and the power of proper recovery. After retiring, I spent the next 17 years working in rehab and the last 15 diving deep into the world of nutrition — not through your typical online courses, trends or gurus, but through evidence‑based learning and seeking out the best practitioners I could find.
Along the way, I found new passions. Martial arts became a huge part of my life — kickboxing, Kyokushin karate, Judo — i entered and competed in competitions/fights that took my my mind and body well out of its comfort zone. Through working in rehabilitation, I’ve been lucky to meet people from all kinds of disciplines, and I never miss the chance to learn something new (even if it means being punched, kicked, or choked in the process)
These days, my heart is in the hills.
I’m a qualified Mountain Leader, and you’ll often find me on the Scottish mountains — sometimes with clients, often with family and/or friends. The outdoors keeps me grounded, happy, and connected. I will never get tired telling anyone that Scotland is one of the most beautiful (and friendly) places on the planet.
“NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU.
HEALTH IS NOT ABOUT BEING A SPECIFIC WEIGHT, AVOIDING FOOD GROUPS OR FEELING YOU NEED TO EAT AT A SPECIFIC TIME OF THE DAY.”
