Cape Town · Metabolic Health Engineer

Metabolic health, engineered for high-performers.

Industrial engineer. Cape Town. Systems over willpower. I reversed my own insulin resistance from first principles, then turned it into the 12-week Metabolic Comeback Method — real food, strategic fasting, measured markers.

I run the same method in two other businesses — Bundu & Buzz and Affinity Connect.

The story

An engineer who refused to accept that he was "just getting older."

For years I lived the standard story: chronic inflammation, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, joint pain — and the constant feeling that I'd been lied to by mainstream nutrition advice. "Eat less, move more" was a process with a broken root cause.

So I did what engineers do. I went back to first principles — biology, biochemistry, real data. Low‑carb and banting, strategic intermittent fasting, and a systems‑based approach to sleep, stress and training. The result was a complete metabolic comeback: lost the visceral fat, reversed the markers, and unlocked the energy to build companies, raise three daughters and serve my community.

That comeback became a product. Everything I learned is now the 12‑week Metabolic Comeback Method — the same Lean Six Sigma precision, documented, repeatable, and run with high-performers who want their health back on a timeline they can measure. It is the work I do.

I apply the same method to pet nutrition and insurance operations too.
