Weight loss is the tip of the iceberg
Other factors
When addressing fat loss, it's common to focus on the number on the scales
Metabolic dysfunction is a complex sequence of events. The reversal is also a complex sequence. It’s common to focus on what we can see – weight gain. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. We need to focus on the cause, not the symptoms.
Liver function
Liver clearing out stored fat & glucose, improving function.
Muscle function
Muscles becoming more insulin sensitive & improving glucose regulation.
Insulin reduction
insulin reducing, which acts as the ‘traffic cop’, redirecting our fat cells to release their contents for fuel. Consequently, hunger is reduced and body fat begins to decrease naturally.
Fat to fuel
Fat cells re-programming to readily accessed for fuel.
Sleep & wellbeing
You’re getting back in sync with your circadian rhythm for reduced cortisol, improved sleep, mental health and overall wellbeing.
Gut health
Beneficial gut bacteria begin to thrive as opportunistic strains die off.
It’s time to change the way you think about weight loss.
Develop your wellbeing toolkit
We want to provide you with the skills to understand your body, alloweing you to access stored fat for fuel. Do you want your energy to skyrocket? Our programs help you to feel empowered beyond the 28 days. You may also shed excess kilos and end the glucose rollercoaster ride, leaving you feeling calm and in control.
Learn about your metabolic health
It's common to assume we gain weight, then become sick. However, the opposite is true. It's far more common for our metabolic function to become sick, then we gain weight as one of the many side-effects. While weight loss may be the primary catalyst for you registering for a program, until you focus on the underlying metabolic dysfunction, any progress will be short-lived. Your AstonRX program focusses on identifying and correcting the underlying metabolic dysfunction, resulting in long-term health improvements and permanent fat loss.
Access your reserve tank
We only have around 1000-1500 calories of glucose stored for fuel, however, we have many tens of thousands of calories in the ‘reserve tank’ in the form of body fat. Once our body is able to readily access stored fat for fuel, not only does your energy skyrocket, you’ll shed excess kilos and end the glucose rollercoaster ride, leaving you feeling calm and in control.
Change your mindset
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right! With the plethora of conflicting information available to us on health, gut health and fat loss, it's almost impossible to sort fact from fiction, leaving us feeling powerless. At AstonRX, we help you to understand how biology drives behaviour and we teach you the skills to regain confidence in your body and your ability to adopt some healthy lifestyle changes. We help you to get the old you back, only better!
Improve your gut health
Imbalance of the key markers of the gut. Firmicutes are involved in energy resorption in the gut and levels may be impacted by a diet high in sugars and processed foods. Elevated levels that impact the delicate balance in your microbiome have been associated with inflammation, obesity and diabetes.

Stop the spiral
When we think about the consequences of a poor diet, weight gain is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But there are many other health risks associated with a poor diet that you might not be aware of. If you’re carrying excess body fat, it’s not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ your health may be impacted…
Mental health
Obesity, inflammation, poor gut health and lifestyle choices can have a significant impact on your mental health, both now and in the future. We all have a strong gut-brain connection, whereby your gut communicates directly with your brain and visa versa. Looking after your mental health is just as important as our physical health.
Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
High cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, inflammation and excess visceral fat (stored around your organs) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Weakened immune system
Dysbiosis, or an imbalance in your gut bacteria, can result in a suppressed immune system. 80% of your immune function is located in your gut. Without the right nutrition, it’s harder for your body to fight illness and infections.
Increased risk of type 2 diabetes
A poor diet can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. As your body fat increases, you become increasingly insulin resistant, which in turn exacerbates fat storage – particularly around your abdomen. Diabetes can also result in many other health complications.
