Coaching, not medical advice.

Health coaching is not medical care

The Second Half Project is a health coaching service run by Berenice Bakkes, a Nutrition Network Health Coach (Advisor). I am not a medical doctor or a registered dietitian. I don't diagnose, treat or cure any medical condition, and I don't prescribe or change medication.

Coaching supports you in changing your eating habits and lifestyle. It does not replace advice, diagnosis or treatment from your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional.

Speak to your doctor first

Before you change the way you eat, please check with your doctor, especially if you:

• take medication, particularly for diabetes, blood sugar or blood pressure, as it may need to be adjusted as your eating changes
• have a medical condition, such as diabetes, heart, kidney, liver or gallbladder disease
• are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy
• have had an eating disorder
• are under 18

Please tell me about any medical conditions or medication in your application, and keep your doctor informed while you're in the program. If something doesn't feel right, stop and seek medical advice.

Results vary

Every body is different. I don't promise or guarantee any specific result, including a specific amount of weight loss. Client stories and results shared on this website or on social media are individual experiences, shared with permission. They are not a promise of what you will achieve.

Information on this website and social media

Everything I share on this website, on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, and in my emails is general information for educational purposes. It isn't personal medical advice for your situation.

Your choices

You remain responsible for your own health and the choices you make. By applying for or taking part in the program, you confirm that you've read and understood this disclaimer.
