Nicki Thompson has spent over 20 years working in health and fitness, with experience spanning personal training, group fitness coaching, health coaching, and gym management. Her journey began when she was first introduced to the gym in her early twenties, sparking a passion for fitness that never left her.

Despite outwardly appearing “in shape,” Nicki’s relationship with health was far from balanced. Behind the discipline, calorie tracking, and intense training, she was caught in a cycle of extreme restriction followed by secret bingeing, driven by control rather than self-care. No matter how much she knew about nutrition and fitness, lasting change felt out of reach.

Everything shifted when Nicki turned her focus to mindset, habit change, and the psychology of behaviour. She discovered that willpower is limited, and that real transformation comes from self-awareness rather than force.

Fasting became a pivotal tool in her own healing. Beyond the physical benefits, it offered clarity, calm, and the space to observe patterns without judgement. This reframing of fasting as a practice of awareness, not punishment, became central to her approach.

Nicki is now a certified Functional Nutrition Health Coach, Cognitive Behavioural Coach (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioural Coach (REBT), and Goal Success Coach. She specialises in helping women step out of all-or-nothing cycles and build sustainable health grounded in self-trust, flexibility, and long-term progress.

Joann McManamy is an informed patient who has turned her life around. After a lifetime of overeating, she experienced the realisation that led to good decision making which then led to significant weight loss, good health and a high quality of life.

JoAnn is a retired Professor who loves visiting England. She is looking forward to sharing her journey of recovery with The Fabulously Keto audience

I am an independent nutrition researcher. I have been involved in nutrition research since 2015 and currently working on a book emphasising the importance of correct nutrition for optimal health. 

I work independently and have no associations with the food industry, pharmaceutical industry or any politically powered nutrition organisations. I receive no funds from any of these mentioned bodies, which gives me the freedom to objectively look at studies and share them with you without any biases, obligations or external pressures.

I share the scientific information I study with the followers in my members-only exclusive Facebook groups. 

The groups promote the low carbohydrate/low insulin lifestyle as supported by scientific evidence. This is the only lifestyle, as shown in medical science, that prevents or reverses insulin resistance, thus dramatically reducing one’s chances of developing metabolic illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, unbalanced lipids, fatty liver disease, kidney dysfunction and even some types of cancer. 

The low carb and fasting group members have free access to summarised information posts, recipes, tips, and weekly live videos. Members also receive support from me as well as others who are in the same journey. I love my research work and love sharing the information I uncover with others because I believe that knowledge is wonderfully infectious and expands when shared.

For members who need further support, I offer coaching services on a one-to-one basis to help them improve their health with good nutrition. 

My professional background lies in linguistics, literature, education and translation. I am the founder and director of a translation company. I have 30 years of experience in the education field and have held teaching positions in many of Britain’s outstanding private schools.  

I am also an avid gardener and grow my own food in the summer months. I love creating healthy recipes that promote nutrient-dense foods to achieve optimal health. 

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 42 years. I am in great health thanks to the dietary and workout protocol that I follow. To find out more, join my Facebook group for type 1 diabetics who follow the low carb and fasting lifestyle.

 Kim Howerton is a certified Metabolic Health Coach, keto expert, and co-author of Common Sense Labs: A Practical Guide to Decoding Your Blood Work and Taking Control of Your Health (Updated and Expanded Edition). 

Her motivation to become a health coach was fueled by her own experience of ill health, which included polycystic ovarian condition, binge eating disorder, major depressive disorder, hypothyroidism, obesity, metabolic dysfunction, gastritis, IBS, and autoimmune disease. 

As age forty loomed, she knew she needed to get serious about her health and over the next several years she devoted herself to getting educated about what it means to become and remain a healthy human. 

After transforming herself into a person in good health, she knew that nothing mattered more than sharing what she’d learned with others who felt similarly hopeless. She teaches her clients that relentless self-advocacy & self-improvement can turn the tide on the myriad health conditions plaguing society.

 Jenn Trepeck has been described as a “force of nature” in the wellness space. She’s been recognized as one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 under 40, nominated for the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Award for Visionary Leadership, and won Ear Worthy’s first Independent Podcast Award for Best Health Podcast and Best Independent Podcast in 2024. 

She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. 

Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters which was awesome(!) until it went away. And so began her weight management saga. Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. 

This completely changed her life and allowed her to say she “kicked her food issues.” From then, Jenn set-out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. 

After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.

 This week we are celebrating a huge milestone — five years of The Fabulously Keto Podcast.

What started back in October 2020 has now grown into over 240 episodes and countless conversations that have inspired, educated and supported listeners on their health journeys. 

To mark the occasion, I invited Louise back to join me in revisiting some of the most powerful moments from past episodes. I’ve selected five clips that capture the breadth of stories, insights and expertise shared over the years. 

It’s a chance to reflect, to celebrate, and to say thank you to everyone who has been part of the podcast so far.

Amy Eiges – shares her incredible 225-pound weight loss journey, from desperation and depression to long-term success with low carb. Her story is a reminder of how resilience and the right approach can truly transform health.

Nina Teicholz – explains why questioning nutrition orthodoxy matters, and how The Big Fat Surprise changed the conversation on fat. Her work continues to reassure people that real food and saturated fat can be both safe and healing.

Dr Elizabeth Bright – reframes menopause as a natural, powerful stage of life rather than a medical problem. She highlights how understanding our hormones can help women navigate this transition with confidence.

Patricia Peat – brings hope through her integrative approach to cancer, showing how informed choices can support both treatment and wellbeing. Her perspective empowers people to take an active role in their health journey.

Graham Phillips – unpacks GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, their risks and benefits and why his episode remains a great reference point. His insights help listeners see beyond the hype and make balanced, informed decisions.
