🎵 Work it, make it, do it. Harder, better, faster, stronger. 🏎️

When Roderick told me a few years ago that he was going to be a weight loss coach I said to him, "one day I'm going to call you and then, perhaps, you can help me too man. If you can get this walking meatball into shape, you can help anybody".

After all, he says, "I help overweight high-performers SMASH their weight loss goals 💪🚀". Easy does it! Just under 6 months ago we started and yesterday I was "done".

Results in < 6 months:
✅ 21 kilos (46.3 lbs) lighter --> while maintaining muscle mass and WITHOUT exercising;
✅ Feel monstrously fit --> mega drive, constant turbo;
✅ Feel a lot happier --> also nice for those around me 🙂
✅ Lots of energy --> no more dips;
✅ Live much more in the "now" instead of the past or future;
✅ Laser focus --> all the cotton wool in my head is gone;
✅ Went from the "Obese" category to "Fitness";
✅ Hip to waist ratio & BMI completely in the green;
✅ 82.6% Lean Body Mass;
✅ Got to know myself a lot better;
✅ Boost in knowledge of nutrition, macros & energy;

My quest did not start with losing weight, but with having more energy and being "more comfortable in my skin". I succeeded in both. Literally.

Yesterday Roderick came over with a "21" balloon and a dumbbell of 21 kilos. Only when you lift that do you realize how much weight you actually lost. And what a strain it was on my body. Fun fact: I am also happily together with my wife Mirjam Hamelink for 21 years. Magic number 😁

I owe these results not only to Roderick, but also to my Systemic Coach: Linda Brand. With Roderick I work on my body, with Linda on my mind. The combination is golden.

Why this post, Jeff? Because both have changed my life in a positive way. Private & business. And I truly wish that for everyone. Become a better version of yourself every day? You really can't do that on your own. Collaborating and sharing with a coach is really much more instructive, fun and effective. DO IT! #neverback

I was very skeptical about working with a Health Coach at first, but my wife convinced me to give it a try as she had a very positive experience.

To put it simply: Roderick really blew me away.

I felt that he is very professional in his approach, as he gives me space to find solutions that fit my life. At the same time he is there as a source of knowledge when I need concrete answers.

Even though I didn't expect it, we talked thoroughly about deeper topics first to create a solid foundation for the more concrete phases that followed. There were no secrets, however, it felt very comfortable to know that everything we talked about was strictly confidential.

Roderick also surprised me as he was able to combine his professionalism with his friendly approach, whilst still being able to challenge me to go for it.

This got me results in a way I didn't think was possible:
Without a lot of effort or grueling workouts I could feel my body - and mind - change within a week and I have managed to sustain this for almost a year now. No bouncing up and down, consistently higher energy level and a more balanced mood.

I highly recommend Roderick as a Health Coach for anyone who wants to lose weight and feel better without all the struggles that usually go with it.

I contacted Roderick last summer, because I wanted to feel better and lose weight. I assumed to only get help on these topics, however, until this day I am still amazed at the impact he made on other fields as well. Roderick is an open, accessible, cheerful person with an abundance of knowledge. In my view he has found the perfect balance between coaching and mentoring based on my exact needs.

With his help I can say that I found myself again. I was overweight, always tired, suffered from a lot of pain in my body and wasn’t able to find the time for myself in our young family with 3 children.

Roderick allowed me to identify and break unconstructive patterns that could sabotage my attempts for change, which created the needed space and energy for me move straight towards my goals. I couldn’t be happier that I decided to invest in myself by working with him and I wish anyone to experience the same at least once in their lives.

Never settle for the situation you’re in, because I have felt that it can dramatically change for the better. I now experience a quality of life I wasn’t able to imagine beforehand, without the burden I thought would go with it to get - and stay - there.

I now live life pain free, I am in shape, feel fitter then ever (never tired any more, yes!) and work more productively and concentrated for my employer than I ever have.

To everyone who considers to get to work on themselves with Roderick, I’d say: DO IT!

Last year I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that affects the muscles. The medication I take for this has many side effects and also causes damage to my body. I also have a hereditary form of high cholesterol.

To protect myself against the damaging effects, I wanted to make my body as healthy and strong as possible. To tackle this effectively, I consulted Roderick.

It surprised me positively that his approach is very analytical and fact driven. For example, he recommended to take VIOME microbiome test to map out my intestinal and digestive system. This not only gave a lot of insight into my general health, inflammatory values and intestinal flora, but it showed me which foods suit my body well (and which ones don't). This allowed me to better control my inflammation levels.

To move things further, we started a ketogenic diet. Even though you might assume it’s just ‘eat less carbohydrates', it turned out not to be as simple. Roderick's guidance has helped me tremendously to apply it to my life and situation. As this allowed me to keep it up without much effort and without being hungry, I was able to persist and make more impact over the long-term.

Furthermore, he has continuously worked with my GP and doctors to provide input on relevant blood analyses, allowing us to measure my progress and adjust the course accordingly. Here, too, I was positively surprised by Roderick's knowledge and professional approach.

Now, I take a lot less medication and I feel a lot healthier. I am sure that Roderick's intervention has helped with this and I recommend it to anyone who wants to become healthier (and happier) in an effective way.

Great numbers you should be celebrated 🎉This week I celebrate the number 23.

About a year ago I saw a post by Jeffrey Hamelink on LinkedIn about how Roderick helped him transform from a "walking meatball" into a healthy and energetic demigod. I could relate, as I also felt like a walking meatball, and urgently needed to work on my health.

This week we reached an important milestone, as there are 23 fewer kilos (51 pounds) of Jop. Hence Roderick was at my door with balloons with the number: 23.

Some of the results:
✅ All achieved in < 6 months
✅ 23 kilos lighter
✅ Healthy weight
✅ Feel fitter
✅ Lots of energy -> My company Meermetdata.nl is growing faster than ever 📈
✅ All KPIs in the green
✅ And besides that, learned a lot about myself, nutrition and energy

Now this review is not meant to pat myself on the back, but mostly for anyone who also feels like a ‘walking meatball’. Know that it is possible to do something about it!

I started working with Roderick a few months ago. He helped me reset my metabolism, detox, gain more energy and establish permanent new eating habits that gave me long lasting results.

With Human Potential Coaching I reset my lifestyle and adopted key practices that will stay with me for the rest of my life. It changed my perspective on the way I cook for myself and my family and the way I live my life.

My work with Roderick still continues, because you need to realize good result does not happen overnight. It needs commitment and time.

Roderick is deeply insightful at pinpointing your problem and incredibly adept at wading through the ocean of information I put out there during our coaching sessions. With this I can clearly define what it is that I want, so that we - together - can devise the plan that will actually work for me in order to gain some ground.

He has a wonderful ability to get deep without causing stress. I always walk away with a sense of comfort and ease around my problem or conflict because we have defined how to overcome it. I am truly grateful for the work he does with me and his ability to listen.

I lived an unhealthy lifestyle, did not exercise and was very overweight. Now I look healthy, I exercise a lot and I feel a lot better!

In a few months I lost almost 10 kilos of weight, while the program helped me to maintain my muscle mass. In addition, my waist circumference is almost 20 cm less, I have more focus, I perform much better at my studies and I feel that I have complete control over my weight for the long term.

I would therefore definitely recommend this program!
