“Utterly Life Changing”: Feargal's Journey After a Major Health Scare
When most people think about health transformations, they think about weight loss. But for Feargal, this wasn’t about looking different — it was about staying alive.
Feargal joined the CFIT Nutrition Plan after not one, but two health scares. The first in March 2021. The second, in 2023, led to the insertion of a stent. And while the physical recovery was hard enough, what followed hit even harder:
“The stent also messed with my head a lot… I was scared to exercise.”
This fear is something many people face after a health scare — the what ifs, the anxiety, the hesitation to move in case it triggers something worse. But underneath all of that, Feargal knew the truth:
“I just regret it took such a kick in the stomach to get me to finally wise up.”
From 111kg to 91kg — But This Is Bigger Than Numbers
Feargal lost over 20kg during his time on the plan. But it wasn’t just the scale that changed:
- He had to punch a new hole in his belt because his trousers were literally falling down.
- Friends started noticing the shift — not just in size, but in energy and mood.
- He was going out for walks at 4am, chasing sunrises he never used to see.
- He could finally walk up stairs without gasping for breath.
“Finally — I believe I will live longer and see my daughters graduate. That’s all I want.”
A Silent Warning to Other Men
When asked what would’ve happened if doctors hadn’t caught his blocked artery, Feargal said this quietly:
“I would probably have dropped in a year or so.”
Too many men ignore the early signs. They put off check-ups. They bury stress. They avoid movement and live on autopilot until it’s nearly too late.
Feargal’s story is a reminder — not just of what’s possible, but what’s at risk if you don’t act.
Why CFIT? Why Now?
We asked Feargal what stood out most about working with us.
“Flip — how long have you got?! Honest and sincere. You clearly give a damn about your clients. Totally invested. Accessible. Just a gifted communicator.”
When we created CFIT’s Nutrition Plan, it wasn’t about tracking every calorie or forcing strict rules. It was about building better habits. Showing up with empathy. And guiding people toward real, sustainable change — even if they’ve been scared to start.

This is more than a testimony. It’s a reminder that it’s never too late to turn things around — to rewrite the future.
For yourself. For your kids. For the life you still have left to live.
If you’ve had a health scare — or know someone who’s brushing off the warning signs — let this be your sign.
You don’t need to wait for a stent.
