About this event
Stop and take a moment to answer these 3 questions!
Who needs you to be as healthy as possible?
If you were healthier, what could you do better?
If you don’t do The Optimal Health Program, how is your life going to improve?
If you know you need to be healthier, you will love the Optimal Health Program that Dr Susan Swanston and Don McKay have created. The 8 week Optimal Health Program is a combination of two amazing transformation programs. Dr Swanston’s Low Carb Nutrition Program and the My Evolution High Performance People Program run by Don.
Dr Swanson is a Cairns GP who specialises in weight loss. She is an expert in ‘low carbohydrate’ nutrition and will guide you through an 8-week process of healthy eating that will transform your life. Her passion is helping people understand that healthy and enjoyable nutrition is the key to optimal health, longevity and a wellness lifestyle. (See more about Dr Swanston here)

Together their combination of knowledge and actionable strategies will give you every chance to dramatically improve your life.
There are total of 1344 hours in 8 weeks. Can you commit 10 hours of your time for this transformation? The time you commit to this program involves a 2-hour face-to-face workshop in Cairns at the amazing Media HQ facility or if you are not in Cairns, you can participate in this workshop via Zoom from anywhere. Every Monday we deliver a 1-hour Zoom session on the key strategies for the week ahead. The Zoom meetings are recorded in case you miss them. Please be warned. This is not a weight loss program, but people keep losing weight. The average weight loss is 7kg and quite a few people lost 10kg over the 8 week program. Please don’t blame us, a side affect of moving towards Optimal Health can be a big reduction in body fat.
But that is just the beginning. We want you to find your version of Optimal Health by helping you to explore your mindset, exercise, nutrition, sleep, managing stress, loving to learn and experiment, and enhancing connection with people and places.
Your investment:
The Optimal Health Program is just $200 per person for this incredible 8-week program – less than a coffee a week!
Once you sign up, you get to participate in any of the Optimal Health Programs run over the following 12 months.
$200 for 12 months access to a Low Carb Specialist GP and a Health and Performance Coach is incredible value. (the price won’t stay this low for long.)
So if you are serious about creating Optimal Health and being a massive positive influence in the life of people you love, get your tickets now.
We start on 28th March 2022 so get your ticket now!
Dr Susan Swanston -GP and Low Carb Specialist
I have been interested in weight loss for about 7 years. My practice has evolved over that time to be more diet focused, with support for low carb, Keto, carnivore and fasting approaches.
I am very pleased with the results in terms of weight loss and remission of diabetes. I also recommend it for many other conditions as I strongly believe it to be the healthiest and most natural diet for humans. It is the way our ancestors would have eaten and I encourage all my patients to embrace this lifestyle change to find a healthier version of themselves. GET TICKETS HERE
Don McKay -Health and Performance Coach
My goal is to have a massive positive impact and create real change in People. I do this through engaging and interactive workshops and programs that explore the proven steps to achieve;
1. High Performance
2. Optimal Health
3. A Resilient Mindset
I am super passionate about helping people to develop a High Performance Plan that works.
