I am Dr. Sean Harvey Simpson. My journey into coaching has been shaped by my unique background. I started my career gaining a solid foundation as a medical doctor (MBChB), then specialising in family medicine (MRCGP) and gaining a post-graduate certification in Sport & Exercise Medicine (PgDip SEM). My clinical practise is varied, but the bulk involves managing reversible chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and obesity and helping patients overcome mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. I have cultivated a deep passion for helping my patients overcome their physical and psychological barriers to health over 8 years of clinical practise.
Aside from medicine, I commissioned from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) and went on to serve as a platoon commander in the 4th Battalion, The Parachute Regiment after passing the arduous Pre-Parachute Selection (PPS) course, commonly known as P-Company. This has provided a unique insight into arduous training, physical and psychological resilience and leadership.
A coaching platform allows me to do more than the typical 10-minute NHS GP appointment allows. If you are looking for change, then this is the right place.
39% of adults over 18 years are now overweight, worldwide. ⁴
Why do I coach?
An epidemic of ‘metabolic syndrome’, consisting of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and high cholesterol has amplified disease, from cancer to severe cardiovascular disease; the leading non-communicable disease resulting in premature death.¹ ²
Multiple risk factors ranging from physical inactivity, an unhealthy (or misguided) diet, alcohol, smoking, environmental pollutants, stress and poor sleep are the major lifestyle factors which contribute to metabolic syndrome.³
Critically, often the focus is ‘managing’ metabolic syndrome, rather than reversing and restoring normative metabolic function. This is the primary objective of Medically Trained Coaching.
Obesity has nearly tripled between 1975 and 2016 in the United Kingdom. ⁵
74% of all deaths are now due to non-communicable disease
such as Type 2 Diabetes. ³
