Testimonials

"Jo’s Bootcamp sessions have become an integral part of my weekly routine where I find myself planning life to fit around her sessions. It’s 45 minutes of cardio & strength training where no two sessions are the same. Jo’s Bootcamp has a lovely group of women who support and encourage each other, whilst Jo puts us through our paces.

Jo is one of the best fitness instructors I’ve had the pleasure to exercise with, she is kind but firm, energetic & fun plus a good listener to all. I’d highly recommend giving one of Jo’s Bootcamp sessions a go."

"I was struggling with a number of health issues such as Hashimotos, pre-diabetes, and aching joints and limbs, when I first contacted Jo.  I was feeling constantly tired and not in control of my life and my health. 

Jo was very patient with me and listened carefully, taking a full history of my medical concerns.  We took a full set of blood tests to investigate my thyroid levels, hormones, blood sugar, magnesium, and other minerals.  

She immediately prescribed some supplements that made me feel a lot better and put me in touch with a doctor who could adjust my thyroid medication, which was definitely low.Jo certainly knows her stuff and knows how to tweak things to get optimal results. I feel in a much better place than I was 6 months ago and I know what to do to make myself feel even better.  I would definitely recommend Jo if you are having any health concerns."

"I met Jo just after being diagnosed with insulin resistance.  I was doing exercise every day but to no effect.  

I attended her Family Friendly food cookery workshops, her bootcamp classes and her ‘Weigh Less, Live more’ sessions.  I learnt a lot because the environments were always friendly and comfortable.It’s been 5 years since the classes and it has had the most lasting outcome to my weight and wellbeing. I’m able to understand my body and relationship with food more.

Jo has a friendly and understanding personality and she was always on hand to help answer questions.  I would recommend her as she explains the bigger picture and connects on a personal level, so you don’t feel like a number. Group sessions are always fun, not competitive or somewhere where you feel judged.It was a great experience for me and I loved every minute."

"I first approached Jo for help after moving to Singapore. My gut health has never been great but worsened with the stress and anxiety of a big move and change of diet and environment.
Jo was caring and empathetic from our first meeting. Her first hand experience and sharing of her personal experiences is so valuable in her teaching. 

She is non judgmental and total approachable. She creates a safe working relationship where you feel secure to share your own personal experience. Jo is encouraging, provides practical advice and support. She follows up to keep you in track which is so important when making significant lifestyle changes. I like Jo’s holistic approach to her work, she leaves no stone unturned in the journey to help! I have learnt so much from Jo but most importantly the brain gut connection!! I will be forever thankful for her help"

"Jo is a wonderful therapist. 

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto 6 months ago and saw Jo for 4 months. In that time she expertly advised me on dietary changes (AIP) and some supportive supplements to help with nutritional deficiencies to boost my ability to detox and heal. 

We carried out a number of tests to find out my root cause. I feel so much better, physically and mentally and my antibodies have dropped from 1500 to 400! She explains that the way I eat will be a lifestyle for me and really helped me see it’s completely achievable. 

I had some low cortisol and sleep issues and she knew exactly how to help me with this. 
She also has an impressive notebook of practitioners and doctors who she recommends and they were all amazing. She is always there when you need her, comes to you for most of the appointments in person and checks with you a few times a week!

Highly highly recommend!."

"A few months ago my 14 year old daughter started developing some worrying health issues, that included anxiety, panic attacks, dizziness and racing heart rates.

We found ourselves being passed on from doctor to doctor and test after test without anyone really showing a proper interest in

my daughter or the source of her problems.

I contacted Jo to help us holistically and I must say that

from the first day, we felt in good hands.

After a series of blood tests done by a functional doctor, Jo helped us to establish a healthy gut and better eating habits. Following a comprehensive gut analysis, we discovered several health issues in my daughter, such as Hashimoto’s disease.

I was initial panicking about having to go gluten and dairy free for my teen, but Jo inspired us with healthy alternative recipes, lots of reassurance and guidance. Jo has a wealth of knowledge and it helped me to know that she has children of her own, who have had health issues in the past.

The diet change wasn’t as hard as we thought and I am happy to say that my daughter is feeling much better, her symptoms

almost completely resolved and she is much happier.

If you are looking to treat your child’s symptoms holistically, then Jo is the right person to help you"

"I worked with Jo over a long period of time and I appreciate Jo's approach to using data and lab tests to set a baseline that is evidence based. She has the patience, knowledge and experience which helped me resolve long term gut issues and I'm able to live more balanced and enjoying myself more, eating smart and optimising my health.

Having a practitioner that has also gone through the journey is a big plus because she knows what she's talking about. I have recommended her services to my friends and trust in her methods. Many many thanks Jo!"

"I cannot recommend Jo enough! She has truly helped me transform my lifestyle for the better. I came to her with a range of physical and psychological issues that no one could quite pinpoint the cause of. I had almost lost hope, but I must say that from our very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands, and I knew that my struggle would be over soon.

Jo took the time to address every single one of my concerns thoroughly and fully accommodate my needs. She focused on uncovering the root cause of my issues rather than simply treating the symptoms with different medications, which was an approach I had previously been misled into.

What I particularly loved about Jo’s approach was her commitment to ensuring I understood everything every step of the way. She ensured I was fully informed and comfortable with what was happening and even explained the science behind everything.

Overall, Jo guided me in building a sustainable lifestyle, and her expert knowledge and thorough and holistic approach have changed my life for the better. Thanks to her, I feel more energized, balanced, and healthy. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and knows how to make lasting changes, Jo is the one to turn to!"

"I started working with Jo about 8 months ago. When I met her for the first time, I had high inflammation markers, constant inexplicable nausea, anxiety, brain fog, and terrible mood swings.

We did a full panel of blood work, and she was super good at explaining my results and deficiencies. We also did a DUTCH test, and with the results, Jo was able to come up with a customised plan to help me. We started with a gut cleanse and then progressed to adding supplements to address my deficiencies. Jo was very patient with me and responded to every single question I had.

8 months on I feel like a new human being. I haven't felt this great in over a decade now. My energy levels are amazing, I sleep super well and no more night sweats.... yeah! Jo for me is been a life saviour. I can't recommend her enough."

"I am so grateful to have connected with Jo. Initially, I came with concerns regarding my journey with perimenopause and it was the deeper knowledge that Jo was able to provide me that gave me hope that I didn’t have to settle for the norm of suffering through this time. 

As I began implementing changes I became aware of an underlying self-sabotage when it came to certain food where I found myself repeating old patterns over and over again. I found I wasn’t able to identify what I deemed healthy and that when I thought of healthy for me, it was linked to isolation and overwhelm. With Jo’s NLP skillset we had a couple of deep sessions to identify the root causes and from this I have since implemented healthier habits and have a greater self confidence that I can make these changes long term. Not only do I feel better, but I am also losing weight and my blood sugar and cholesterol are reducing.

In addition, for my family, I have relied on Jo’s expertise to discuss things about my teenage children around sleep, and potential food allergies and intolerances and my husband has had important checkin with his bloods. All things that we tend to leave too long and only have one view from our GP. I find having Jo’s expertise combined with our GP has provided confidence that we all know what we can do to be healthier long term.

I would highly recommend Jo to anyone at any stage in their health journey, for themselves and their family. Jo has a beautiful, non-judgemental way of helping you address your concerns around health, nutrition and wellbeing. Thank you Jo."

"Choosing to embark on Jo's 'Body in Balance' program was a transformative decision, despite my initial concerns stemming from my various allergies and intolerances. Right from the start, Jo's accommodating approach addressed my worries, ensuring an enjoyable and secure journey.

"I wanted a programme that would dispel diet / healthy food myths and support me through peri and menopause. Having Been a yo-yo dieter for decades i was looking for a slow, intelligent science based sustainable programme which focuses on a gentle shift into healthier lifestyle and nutritional habits that support me and my family. Jos first hand knowledge and passion for health is incredible. I’ve loved the community support too. Can’t recommend this programme enough"

"Jo brings an exceptional level of enthusiasm and knowledge to her functional health coaching programme. She's clearly highly knowledgeable about complex concepts around the many different factors that influence our health. As a functional health newbie, I appreciated how Jo always translated this into understandable, practical, and actionable advice in her teaching as well as in private conversations.

​

Jo immediately created a safe space within the group which has continued through regular overall and personalised support. Throughout the process she has been positive and upbeat, encouraging us all to continuously make improvements and has celebrated our wins while supporting us through the inevitable bumps in the road. A side bonus was the little network of friends and advocates that she brought together.

Despite being in a group programme, I loved that Jo always took the time to consider each of us and our unique situations individually and tailored her advice accordingly. This level of care and attention, along with her inspiring energy, has really helped maintain the momentum within the group. Jo clearly cares passionately about  empowering people as effortlessly as possible to make the necessary changes they need to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.

This programme is a great starting point for anyone feeling overwhelmed with all the things we are "supposed" to do, cuts through the myths and trendy fads, and creates a manageable roadmap to create lasting change."

"If you’ve reached a point of frustration, where nothing seems to help shift the weight or help with the fatigue and bloating, speak to Jo.

She’ll debunk some health fads, work with you to understand what the root causes of your discomfort are, address the diet and even support on the fitness front if needed. You’ll get back on track and have the energy to enjoy life again in just a few weeks."

"I think Jo is brilliant! After Having experienced multiple practitioners across UK and Singapore I can vouch for the fact that Jo brings Great experience, expertise & sharp insights Including the “ care & courage “ to call out what matters ! She does not round you with data or overwhelm you with multiplicity of contradictory points . 

She is an excellent “puzzle piecer” who goes beyond linear / one dimensional lenses often Adopted by conventional doctors and nutritionists. Another quality I admire about her is her diligence her follow-through and always making time for her clients. I can’t recommend her enough. As a CEO myself I can be distracted, impatient and often overwhelmed to Make time for myself. Jo somehow always makes time for me and gets through to me and influences me to put my health and well-being top of the list. She is a keeper."

I really felt that Jo was on my side, eager to support, answer queries and help me meet my lifestyle goals. An inspiring experience that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to address any niggles in their health, energy and hormones. Thanks Jo - I feel so much better!"

Jo has been extremely diligent to answer all our queries promptly as well as given us healthy recipes and food shopping tips, for a balanced diet as well as her workout videos which are super handy. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a lifestyle and holistic change and wants to find all answers to health issues which plague women in mid life. Jo’s approach is very personalised, prompt and caring. I personally will continue to refer to the subject materials long after the course is over"

"I recently took part in Jo Brownlow’s ‘Body in Balance’ Program. I really enjoyed the whole process. Jo has an expert knowledge in this field from reading your blood work, recipes, exercise and supporting you mindfully the whole way. Jo is extremely compassionate when it comes to your health. I learnt so much from her modules and continue to go back to them when I need a reminder. I would highly recommend Jo Brownlow if you needed guidance on the healthier path."

"We often hear the phrase “you are what you eat”, but if you truly want to understand this, get to grips with your hormones, or simply make a positive change in your life, Jo’s ‘Body in Balance’ program is perfect. Beyond being an incredibly knowledgeable expert, Jo’s positivity and genuine interest in helping women become stronger versions of themselves makes the program even more impactful.

"I'm thrilled to share my incredible experience with Jo, a dedicated and knowledgeable functional medicine coach. Working with Jo has been a game-changer for my health and wellbeing. Her personalised approach and expertise helped me identify and address underlying issues that were impacting my energy, digestion, and general quality of life, with some issues being long standing that I had just ignored as life got in the way.

Through Jo's guidance, I've gained a deeper understanding of my body and implemented (and still trying to implement) sustainable lifestyle changes that have led to significant improvements in my overall health. Her compassion, support, and encouragement made the journey enjoyable and empowering and as part of the Body In Balance cohort, I got to meet a great community of ladies as well.

I highly recommend Jo to anyone seeking a holistic approach to healthcare. Her passion for functional medicine and commitment to her clients' success is truly exceptional. Thank you, Jo, for helping me achieve a better, sustainable me."

"I loved it! The body in balance course was unlike anything I’d seen being offered; it was a great way for me to do a full audit and look at all aspects of my lifestyle to see what more I could do to live better.

Going into the programme I knew mostly what to eat, how to exercise etc but I was pleasantly surprised how many new, small, meaningful changes I could explore and incorporate to kick it up a gear.

I learnt to see how my whole body functioned as a sort of machine and what bits were impacting others and how I could intervene

to enhance my overall sense of well-being.

It’s said that every woman should have a really good idea of their baseline bloods at 40 to start preparing them for the inevitable forthcoming changes. I loved having my bloods done and seeing,

in real data, what my body was telling me.

​

Maybe I hadn’t been listening enough over the past few years but I feel more confident now where my challenges lie

and also where my strengths are.

​

As a course leader, Jo is empathetic, passionate and endlessly motivating. Each week, in no particular order, I looked forward to the tasty treats (really) and the wonderful camaraderie of a group of likeminded individuals coming together to share ideas, stories and have a laugh along the way.

Jo has build an amazing community. Once the program ends there are walks, talks… it’s all there to keep you going in the right direction. A great experience all round, thank you Jo!"

"Jo is a wealth of knowledge and I've learned so much in the past 2 months. Her recipes are amazing and I really enjoyed trying out new things. I loved all the delicious treats and snacks she gives us in class! The program is practical with lots of small and easy changes that can be implemented right away as well as better supplementation.

I appreciated our 1:1 call before the program and the insights provided based on my bloodwork results. It was great to meet other women and be part of a community."

"I wanted to kick start 2025 with some nutritional and life-style changes;  the Body in Balance course proved to be just what I needed. Jo is an excellent presenter with a through subject knowledge.

From the first session we were able to make practical changes and by week six, friends were commenting on seeing  visible results in me.

I'd recommend the course to anyone keen to improve their or their families health through natural means"
