Nicola Lock & Jackie Fletcher

 Nicola Lock was a medical secretary in the NHS for 15 years, primarily in Mental Health Services, and after having her children set up as a freelance medical transcriptionist which she has been doing for the last 20 years, mainly in private healthcare.

Her interest in low carb began about 9 years ago after discovering Michael Mosley’s 8 week blood sugar diet. Over the years she had made several attempts at losing weight by following the recommended low fat, eat less/move more model, which either failed or, if she succeeded initially, she then put the weight back on and was back to square one.

In the New Year of 2019 she decided to try a low carb/real food lifestyle in an attempt to lose the weight that she had once again put on over the Christmas period, and six months later had effortlessly lost about 2 stone (28 lb / 12.5 kg), which she has pretty much maintained since that time.  Although she had no health issues that she was aware of, after becoming low carb she has noticed improvement in her skin as well as improved energy and mental wellbeing.

Nicola has discovered an enthusiasm for learning more about this way of life and has been a member of Nutrition Network since July 2020.  She has completed several of their courses including Nutrition Network Advisor, Obesity: Risks & Reversal, Ethics, Neurology and LCHF for Nurses.  She is currently studying Metabolism and the Mind. 

Nicola has been an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration since October 2020 and since June 2023 has been a health coach for The Lifestyle Club, which is an online programme providing education to empower people diagnosed with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes to potentially put their condition into remission through a real food lifestyle approach.  And recently Nicola has become involved with another PHC project, Liberate, which is a programme designed to help people who feel addicted to ultra processed foods.
