Zachary Martin · Health Advisor

Hi, I'm Zak — your guide to type 2 diabetes and good health.

I deliver sessions for the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, as well as health workshops for charities, companies, and my own community programme in London and Essex.

I also deliver 1-1 health consultations for people in need of support and guidance. No matter where you are in your journey, I can help you find a path forward.

Where you are now

Your Path to Good Health is blurred.

Most people who come to me know their health could be improved. The truth is: whose couldn't?

The problem is in the way there. Good health is never static; you need to be constantly moving towards better practices. That's what I do with ZMPT: help people who come to me build a path towards better health that's sustainable, repeatable, and most of all enjoyable.

Route 1 · The Book

The whole map, in one place.

Zak's Guide to Type 2 Diabetes and Good Health starts with what's actually happening inside you — blood glucose, insulin, HbA1c — then works through the four things that can help you change the most: nutrition, movement, stress and sleep. But nothing in the body happens in isolation, so it connects the bigger picture too: inflammation, gut health, hormones, heart health.

It's not just a guide to type 2 diabetes. It's a guide to good health — and it's written in an easy to read, yet assured and informative tone.

Route 2 · Work with Zak

Or work with me directly.

One on one coaching is for anyone who wants to make the most progress as soon as they can. Working with me directly gives us the chance to isolate your problem areas and devise effective plans to help you tackle them instantly.

We start with a free 20-minute consultation — no pitch, just a straight conversation about whether I can help.

Built on your numbers

Bring your recent bloods if you have them — HbA1c included. If you don't, we start from how you actually feel and what you actually eat.

Fortnightly check-ins

Video calls, plus messaging between sessions for the questions that come up mid-shop.

Alongside your GP

Coaching sits next to your medical care, never instead of it — especially if you take diabetes medication. I'll say so plainly if something needs a doctor.

Start here, free

The Blood Sugar Guide.

A short, plain-English PDF: what your numbers actually mean, and how nutrition, movement, stress and sleep each move them. The same thinking as the book, in a short read. No cost, no catch.

The guide is general information, not medical advice. If you're taking medication for diabetes, speak to your GP or diabetes nurse before changing how you eat. Full disclaimer.

In person

Workshops and health support.

I run sessions in community spaces, companies and charities across London and Essex — the same material as the book, with a room full of people asking the questions you were too polite to ask your GP.

Most run in the evening and last around ninety minutes. Bring a notebook, and your last blood test if you have one.
