About Alex Neilan
Alex Neilan is a trusted dietitian, nutritionist, and health expert, and the founder of Sustainable Change a coaching programme designed to help people achieve weight loss that truly lasts.
For almost a decade, Alex has supported individuals especially women over 50 in building healthier, stronger, more confident lives through straightforward, sustainable changes. His coaching focuses on real-world habits, not perfection, restriction, or confusing rules.
In a landscape crowded with quick fixes, fad diets, and short-lived transformations, Alex takes a different approach. His philosophy is simple: your health only transforms for good when the changes you make are sustainable. No gimmicks, no extremes just evidence-based coaching that fits your life and lasts a lifetime.
A mission for lasting health
Alex’s vision is bold: to empower one million people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
At the heart of this mission are four core values that shape every programme, conversation, and transformation:
Sustainability – Creating lifelong results, not short‑term wins.
Overdelivering – Providing more support, more clarity, and more care than expected.
Instilling Belief – Helping people put themselves first, often for the first time in decades.
Care – Because health is deeply personal, and it deserves compassion and understanding.
Over the years, Alex has built a thriving online community of more than 90,000 people and has directly supported over 4,500 women on their journey toward sustainable, confidence‑building weight loss.
His approach has helped thousands break free from the exhausting cycle of yo‑yo dieting and finally feel in control of their health. With a focus on confidence, mobility, and energy, Alex’s coaching continues to empower women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond to live fuller, stronger lives without restriction, guilt, or overwhelm.
Beyond Nutrition
Alex’s leadership of Sustainable Change goes far beyond health it’s rooted in community.
Under his guidance, Sustainable Change has raised six‑figure sums for charity and has become a support network for women facing real‑life challenges such as menopause, arthritis, depression, and even cancer. The programmes don’t just deliver results they create connection, reassurance, and a safe place to feel understood.
On a personal note, Alex’s greatest inspiration is his young daughter. She drives his commitment to model resilience, self‑care, and kindness and to build a legacy defined by helping others live healthier, happier lives.
