I feel as if Martin put me in the best position to be competitive in my weight class at Western Australia’s strongman competition and I cannot recommend him enough

I approached Martin after hearing that he worked as a sleep scientist. For years, I have been struggling to get up in the morning due to feeling unrefreshed after nights of restless sleep. I was able to a have home-based sleep study, where we discovered that I had irregular breathing, my legs were twitching in my sleep, and this was affecting the quality of my sleep. Through Martin’s interpretation of the sleep study, we found that the amount of deep sleep I was having was low, and being an athletic individual; Martin suggested this could be hindering my recovery and performance.

Martin looked at my daily habits, and he suggested that my late-night training might be causing issues with my sleep. I took a few days off and found after a few nights; my sleep was improving. He also suggested that the amount of time I was sleeping on my back could be causing my breathing issues and that restless legs may be related to my diet. With his recommendations, my sleep improved after a couple of months, and I am now able to wake up early in the morning to get my early training sessions in.

Due to the success of my improved sleep, I thought that he had the knowledge and professionalism to support me with my Nutritional programming for my upcoming Strongman competition. Martin planned an eight-week program to increase my calories without excessive weight gain because I was already at my competing weight. He also recommended increasing the number of greens I was eating in case there was also sleep issues from certain nutrient deficiencies. He planned in foods that made the program sustainable and attainable. By the end of the eight weeks, I was consuming 400 kcal’s more than before, and I was making personal bests on many of my lifts at the same weight.

I feel as if Martin put me in the best position to be competitive in my weight class at Western Australia’s strongman competition and I cannot recommend him enough for anyone looking to improve their health or performance through sleep and nutrition.

You asked great questions based on pure listening to what I had to say and wanted to let you know because it’s a skill and a talent. I don’t think too many people can do that, many people have agendas and set questions that they want to ask rather than just listening. So thank you.

With my experience in podcasting, it’s rare to get any feedback as the host, It usually all goes to the guest. I wanted to give some feedback on my podcast episode with you, Martin. I felt comfortable talking with you; it was organic and flowed well, it was smooth.

Martin was professional in his approach, set me easy guidelines to follow and helped me look at my daily habits

I approached Martin because I have been struggling with my sleep for some time. I heard through a mutual friend that Martin worked in the medical field and after listening to him on a few podcasts decided to get in contact with him. He wrote a letter to my GP, and I managed to get a sleep study where Martin set me up in the clinic and wore it in bed at home. It turns out that I had obstructive sleep apnoea, which was contributing to why I was struggling with fatigue during the day. Martin went through all our options of treatment, and we decided to embark on a weight-loss journey together. Martin was professional in his approach, set me easy guidelines to follow and helped me look at my daily habits. By becoming more aware of what and how much I eat by tracking it, I have been able to lose 8kg’s in 3 months. My partner says my snoring has much improved and I feel much more refreshed when I wake up in the mornings. I aim to lose another 3-4 kg and will be completing another sleep study in a few months to clarify whether my weight loss has improved my breathing at night. I’d recommend Martin for his knowledge in the health, his ability to explain results clearly and his professionalism. Being embarrassed about issues, I felt comfortable talking to Martin about them hence the testimonial.
