Dec 29,2022I’ve tried diets on my own and have never been able to stick it out, signing up for Miyagi has been great as it is the exact amount of support I need. Checking in weekly and talking to a real person each week has helped me learn about food portioning, healthy ideas, and helps me make little goals that have really helped me set up good long term habits.

Dec 17,2022The Miyagi programme has been great for me. Having weekly accountable meetings with the dietitian to set my own goals and take control of my own health has been a really worthwhile experience. I have done all the diets and have had varying amounts of successes but being able to totally change my approach and unhealthy midsets around food and nutrition have actually been life changing for me. I think any negative reviews will be about unmet expectations. I think if you wanted a set diet and to be told what to eat and when, then this is not the programme for you. It is expensive, but the dietitian consults are $127 a session, which seems reasonable for 6months, and I have been claiming some of that back on private health. Then add in some admin fees and other suppport and it is not too bad really. The total change to my thinking will be life long and I have been set up for sucess. So always worth it in my book. I have lost cm and kg and whilst it hasnt been as quick as I expected, it's a bit of a learning process and I'm in it for the long haul. I'm so thankful to my wonderful dietitian Megan, she has been so supportive and has been able to challenge my thinking and not make me feel like a failure and help me set goals that are realistic and achievable!

Dec 15,2022Highly recommend Miyagi. So far this has been amazing, I am losing weight but more importantly I am changing the way I think. Talking to my dietician each week encourages me, teaches me and helps me be accountable for my decisions. I am now doing lots of exercise and enjoying it, I am keeping hydrated and making healthy food options. I am loving this new way of life and I know the small changes I am slowly implementing in my lifestyle are here to stay.

Dec 15,2022I have a great dietitian who supports me and gives me great info on what to do to help me make the life changes required and to stick to them. The app is easy to follow and update, with new modules added regularly.

Dec 12,2022I am delighted with the program. Weekly calls with my dietician Kate help keep me accountable and great eating tips that are making a huge difference. Ability to take photo and load every meal for food journal as well as recording changes in metrics is very useful. This is a slow burn program for people who want to make sustained change and nothing else works.

Dec 12,2022I am very happy with this program. Though I was a bit slow to understand the concept, I finally figured it out. The results were satisfying and I would recommend this program to my friends in need. Thanks to my advisor Georgea for all her help.

Dec 11,2022I'm so happy with my experience so far,learning so much that will help me in the future with my health and well-being. The plan is so well put together, my dietician is so helpful,and our discussions have been very informative and motivating. There is so much information available,guidelines,information sheets, hints and tips, for life moving forward.

Dec 09,2022My dietician has been very supportive and I know I can contact her between calls if I need something. She has encouraged me even though I have not been able to exercise each week and has given me tips to substitute foods. I understand that to get anything out of my experience I have to put something in myself and make big changes in what I eat and drink to avoid having to take medications in the future and to be healthy for longer.

Dec 09,2022I have tried so many times to get healthy and/or lose weight. I have yoyo-ed for years. I've done diet plans, huge exercise regimes, joined the gym, had hypnosis, starved myself, went on extreme diet plans. I am stubborn and determined but once I reach my goal or if something happens to interfere emotionally before I reach my goal (this is usually the case), I go back to old habits and gain weight again. I had a recent heath scare which also made me come to terms with the fact that the methods I've used before just don't work, because I was back at square one again (again and again, getting more heartbroken each time). It's not a cheap program but my weekly sessions with Kate are brilliant and the cost helps to keep me focused too. Kate understands my needs change as I go through life, through events and emotional things happen. She is supportive and understanding, helps me really truly change my habits and my mindset about nutrition and health. The app is easy to use and navigate. I already knew the technical side of nutrition and none of the factual information is a surprise. I thought I had the right mindset for this before the program started and really used it as a way of keeping myself "honest". But what has been surprising is that my mindset wasn't right at all - my view of food and nutrition and sleep and self care was not right at all. It's been an amazing journey so far and I'm looking forward to carrying it on. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to lose weight or reduce their risk of heart disease or cholesterol etc. It's not aggressive like some other programs and doesn't need a million food ingredients that you don't normally buy. I don't use the food plans but they're an option if you plans. It is a 6-12 month commitment, but this is my life and health on the line!

Dec 08,2022I have a great Dietician in Lisa, she calls every week to make sure things are going well. I have come unstuck a few times, but Lusa has got me going on the right track again.

Dec 07,2022I’m loving Heart Smart, it is the perfect program for me. I started off feeling completely overwhelmed by the prospect of trying to become a healthier me, but when I signed up to Heart Smart, the weekly phone sessions with my dietitian, and the information sheets and videos I received proved perfect, I love the way that each week there is something for me to read or watch that is not massively time consuming but a page or two of really useful information that has helped me to understand what cholesterol is and what foods are great for my body, and portion size. I have been trying all sorts of new foods and recipes and with the help of my dietitian I am changing the way I think about food and eating. The administrative support is excellent and recently when I was unwell it was not a bother to cancel my appointments; they were added on to the end of my program. I am able to claim through my health fund for the dietitian appointments which is a bonus. l am feeling great and can’t recommend this program enough.

Dec 07,2022All I wanted to do when I started this program was to lose a little weight and look good for my upcoming 50th Birthday. This app, and especially with the help of my dietician, Clare, has given me so much more than that. I have learnt about the toxic relationship I used to have with food, why I ate what and why i did. Why I slept badly, why I couldn't stop drinking, why I would binge eat at night, why my throat was dry etc. I feel like a different person three months down the track. I have achieved my goals, exceeded them actually.

Dec 05,2022I’ve been on the HeartFocus programme for 3 months and have lost 8 kgs! I said I’d be satisfied with 4 kg loss as I’ve never been able to lose more and keep it off. So here I am at a weight I never dreamed was possible and I’m only halfway through. My journey is supported by my dietitian, and the resources provided. I receive fortnightly calls from my dietitian, it is this support that keeps me on track. There has been a huge shift in the food choices I make now. I’ve learnt that I can still have foods I once thought would be off limits which makes all the difference. I joined after a shock Blood Pressure reading, and I continue to work to lower it. I’m looking forward to the next three months to really cement the changes I have made.

Dec 05,2022This programme was a big financial outlay for me and I began feeling a little impatient with myself and wanted quick results. But as the weeks have gone on I have found myself encouraged by the weekly calls and the gentle and supportive nudging by my dietician Megan. I have found her advice practical and useful and she has listened to what is important to me. She has made me feel accountable about the goals I have set without being judgemental when I have not reached them that week. My own mindset and the way I have looked at meal prepping and what situations trigger me to eat has changed in that I am not as focused on losing weight but rather on how to make healthier daily choices on the food I prepare and the exercise I choose. Although I have only managed to lose a few kilos so far I am feeling stronger and more energetic than I have in a while as I’ve taken control of my health journey. I’m mindful of what I put into my mouth and think about the consequences of my behaviours more than I ever have. I find the app modules useful and the strategies and suggestions given by Megan particularly helpful. So far so good 😊

Dec 05,2022My main goal when commencing with Miyagi was to lose weight and prevent the onset of diabetes. The weekly phone calls from my dietitian Aleisha have been very helpful in keeping me accountable and identifying goals. My mindset has changed from that of losing weight and the number on a scale to that of exercise, the feeling of well being as the energy increases and stresses decrease. Being mindful of what types of food I put into my body and strategies given and helpful advice from Aleisha have been great. The weekly check ins have been invaluable for my own accountability and the encouragement has been invaluable.

Jacqui
Dec 03,2022My main goal when commencing with Miyagi was to lose weight and prevent disease states. The weekly phone calls from my dietitian Lisa have been very helpful in keeping me accountable and identifying goals for the week. As I have progressed my mindset has expanded to so much more with an increasing focus on exercise, self compassion, mindfulness and stress reduction. My family have benefitted as we discuss healthy food and lifestyle choices and implement them.
