Why Level UP?

"The Level UP Mentoring Programme is about Transformation not Information"

As a Nutrition Professional, you are the business and we will support you to grow into a confident, influential business person as well as a great nutrition practitioner. What's more, we will teach you how to approach your business growth as an enjoyable game! So if you want to level up your confidence and mindset, right the way through to the bottom line results in your business (and have fun along the way), this programme is for you."

This mentorship programme gives such clear directions, with aha moments every week and more weight lifted off our shoulders through the clarity we gain. If you have done your nutrition qualifications and want to make this your profession, THIS is what will bring everything to life! It is pure gold dust!

"Now I can talk confidently about what I do"

I am proud of myself for saying YES. Without this group I wouldn’t know what to do.  Now I can talk confidently about what I can do for others.  I am so proud of myself! In just 3 months I have really learnt how to get and run discovery calls and I have completed 8 discovery calls and won new clients; I am balancing my job with my health and nutrition practice too.

"The investment I made in this programme, has already paid off"

This incredible programme has truly transformed my life. I started it at a time when I was feeling lazy and overwhelmed, constantly making excuses and procrastinating. When I first heard about the programme, I was drawn to the name —it felt like a call to action, something that would push me to get moving. Once I began, I was immediately engaged. It motivated me to rise from my complacency; I realised I could do so much more than I had been. I went from having just three clients to eight, and now I proudly have ten paying clients! The best part? The investment I made in the programme has already paid off, and I feel more enthusiastic than ever.

The programme taught me how to present my services effectively, and I discovered how to connect with potential clients through meaningful conversations. I started initiating talks at the gym and on social media, which led to amazing opportunities. People were responding positively and I began to attract clients who were genuinely interested in my services.
I learned to communicate my marketing message clearly, which made all the difference. I feel confident now, and my clients are seeing real result and improving their health in incredible ways.

  • Is the Zest4life Nutrition Resource Centre included in Level UP?
    Zest4life has one of the largest nutrition business libraries of resources in the world with over 500 pieces of ready-to-use marketing materials worth over £6500. Access to the complete Resource Centre is included within the Level UP Programme.
  • I'm not based in the UK. Is Level UP suitable for me?
    Level UP has been developed to be relevant to Nutrition Professionals in lots of different countries. We have Nutrition Business Mentors based in the UK, Ireland, France and South Africa who all contribute their knowledge and expertise to the training. We have many Zest4life members from different locations including UK, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Greece, South Africa, Canada, Australia and the Middle East who are making a success of their business. Wherever you are based you will be made very welcome by our diverse community.
  • Do you have Level UP intakes throughout the year?
    In 2025 there are three intakes planned- starting Tuesday 11th March, Tuesday 13th May and Tuesday 2nd September.
  • I'm just starting out. Am I ready?
    Level UP is designed to support you from a standing start. No website? No clients? Just an idea? We'll support you to get those essential foundations in place you need to get your first few paying clients - and you'll be off!
  • I've been in business for years, will I get enough out of it?
    We understand that as an experienced practitioner, you might already have many systems in place, but the Level Up Mentoring Programme is designed to challenge and refine even established practices. For example, many practitioners believe they have an effective website or discovery call process, but when we delve deeper, areas like client messaging, programme pricing, call-to-action clarity, or conversion rates often reveal room for improvement. The Level UP programme provides expert insights, structured accountability, and peer support to ensure you’re not just doing well but achieving your full potential. If you're open to refining your approach and tackling key areas of your business with fresh perspective, we’re confident you’ll find it highly valuable. If you’re at the stage where your systems are working super effectively and you are thinking about expanding your services by creating group programmes, courses, corporate wellness, a membership; or employing associates to scale further then our personal business mentoring programmes maybe more suitable for helping you to build up to a six-figure income: https://www.zest4life.com/progression
  • I'm already overwhelmed, will this add to this?
    What we see is that most nutrition business owners are overwhelmed because they have simply taken on too much. They are trying to juggle too many marketing strategies that are not yielding results or getting the attention of their ideal clients, following too many different business models, or being unclear on the most impactful next step for them. So, of course, it's a recipe for overwhelm and burnout. With Level UP one of the things you get is clear blueprint to follow so you are clear on the next best step for you, and can start doing less activity that has a high impact, rather than lots of activity that either doesn't work for you or isn't right for your stage of business. You will also get value feedback on your business ideas from an expert mentor who has built a successful fully booked practice, and be working to clear deadlines so that you make measurable progress within a defined timescale.
