We speak to the woman behind The world’s first personalised Intermittent Fasting programme

Kate Llewellyn-Waters MSc., is a genetic nutritionist and the founder of the world's FIRST Intermittent Fasting Weight Loss Programme based on your DNA. She has developed a truly personalised nutrition weight loss programme with clients worldwide.

1) Hi Kate, can you explain a little about your background. How you started doing what you are doing now, and your journey.
I spent over 4 years analysing the scientific research of Intermittent Fasting and Nutrigenomics as part of my Masters in Nutrition. I gained my first nutrition qualification back in 2005 and have been working in the world of nutrition for 12 years. Concentrated on working with analysing client's genetic results for the last 4 years. Results we have seen since can provide truly personalised advice is incredible - including seeing the reversal of Type 2 Diabetes in several clients. Have a BA from the University of Warwick.


2) What was it like in the first week or two of starting your own business
I started on my business 2 years ago but we launched September 4th 2017. The first two weeks was incredibly busy and exciting as the orders came in!


3) How did you fund your business?
I have funded the whole project so far - but we are looking to scale up and in talks with potential investors.


4) Friend or Family member that helped you the most? 
Undoubtedly my husband - he has been a huge source of support and offers valuable insight on sales and marketing, which is the area he works in.


5) How you got your first few clients?
I started contacting former clients, running offers and offering the plan as a competition prize to successful online magazine.


5) Tips on how to make it past the 12 months mark?
Been trading just a month, but I registered the company in March - so during the six months from March-September we were obviously gearing up for the launch.

What I would say is find the best people you can from the start who support you - website development and maintenance, PR and accountant.  It can be very costly if you don't!
