"The fitness and wellbeing industry is not talking to those that need it the most. Our vision is to change that by educating and empowering people to own their health story."
Sandy Milner, Founder of LIFESTYLE FIZZIOLOGY
My Story
From childhood through to early adulthood, I spent my life in sport as an elite track athlete, which led to a Bachelor degree in sport science and human movement before going on to a successful career in sports marketing. I co-founded an award-winning sports and lifestyle marketing agency in my late 30s. I prided myself on being fit but not always healthy thanks to my Gen X ‘work hard, play hard’ attitude. Then, I had a baby in my early 40s just as COVID hit and I stopped prioritising my health all together. The health of everything and everyone else became more important than my own. I was stressed, sick, not sleeping and had no time for my daughter, so I made the difficult decision to leave my business. Only to be plagued by further illness, inflammation, pain and then a severe back injury, as the years of living in a hyper-stressed state took revenge on my body. ​
It dawned on me that if I want to be able to keep up with my daughter into my 70s I need to start looking after myself. But where do I start? The voice of fitness and wellbeing seemed to be dominated by young gorgeous influencers in designer lycra who I struggled to relate to. I didn't need a trainer, I needed someone who understood my mid-life body and challenges, and who looked not just at my exercise habits but ALL aspects of my life. So I combined my knowledge of science, physiology & elite sport with my strategic planning skills and developed a realistic and sustainable lifestyle plan.
​
From my own 'get well' journey I realised that we can all be the masters of our own health and wellbeing destiny, we just need help crafting a plan.
