Talking Nutrition is the podcast for women who did everything right and stopped seeing results. Hosted by Johan Vesters, online nutrition and functional health coach, and founder of Odyssey Coaching Systems, the show digs into what is actually going on under the surface: metabolism, fat loss, thyroid, hormones, gut health, blood work, and the mindset and behavior change that makes results stick. No crash diets, no quick fixes, no fear-mongering. Just education, real client stories, and honest conversations, so you can understand your own body, ask better questions, and take ownership of your health.

What's up? Welcome back to Talk Nutrition and today is a big one. Obviously, you already heard it in the podcast intro, but this week I'm giving one woman my entire coaching program for free, four months, a full ride into my scholarship, the whole thing. And I want to tell you exactly why and who should apply for this. All right. I'm going to keep it nice and short today. I want you to take action on this. Obviously, you've been listening for a minute and you know that my mission is to help as many people as possible. I want you to be that person who doesn't just lose the weight, right? No, you keep it off long-term, but way more than that. You are now the person you always wanted to be. You are that healthy role model for your kids, right? You get to grow up or you've already grown up. You get to grow old and see them grow up and run around with the grandkids and be resilient and be able to manage the stress and handle the stress and handle your busy schedule. You're not a victim to your schedule anymore. Nutrition is not this confusing thing anymore. You don't worry about every single calorie. You can actually include social settings. You know how to bounce back after a slip up. You know how to overcome any obstacle along the way. You build strong bones. You build muscle. You are lean and you stay lean for life. You fix your gut. You heal your thyroid. You support your hormones. You go through perimenopause and menopause as a resilient individual. You are the person you have always wanted to become, especially knowing that you've been trying to diet for five to 10 years, plus maybe even as you're listening to this. And if that's you, I mean, I'm going to tell you right away, like this scholarship is for you. Okay. So it's 100% for free. Now, why do I do this? Right. We'll get into that today as well. All right. I want you to fully understand what it includes. Okay. And why I'm giving it away. And then we'll wrap it up. Keep it nice and short today. Cause right now, honestly, I just want you to take action on this. Let's, let's be honest right here. You've been listening to multiple podcasts by now, but you know what we're about. You know that our client's results last and you still have that doubt in yourself. You're like, ah, maybe, maybe when it calms down a bit, maybe when I have less going on, maybe I want to try by myself. You've also been trying by yourself for five to 10 years or more. You know, like that's, I'm not just making up that number. That's what all of my clients have in common. They come to me after already having had coaches, programs, shakes, supplements, even weight loss medications that didn't work. That is what this is for. Okay. One full scholarship, a hundred percent for free. You get to go through my course, the odyssey, all things, nutrition, lifestyle, working out mindset, self-development is something we are very big on. Okay. We help you lose the body fat, build the muscle and obviously maintain your results long-term. You go through my restore methods. Every phase in your metabolic health will be what you always wanted it to be. Okay. If your body stopped responding after all these diets, I'm not surprised to be honest with you, because every diet has been do less of this or eat less of this, I should really say. Do more cardio, right? Cut the carbs, do this, blah, blah, blah. Take this supplement. Now you're on probiotics. You're on all these different supplements. You don't even remember why you're on them. Yet you're still bloated. You're still tired. You have cold hands. Your hair is falling out. You can't even go to the bathroom every single day. And then you think is your hormone, your age or whatever. It's not. All these issues when it comes to metabolic health and hormones and our gut, even immune system. Hell, I have multiple clients with autoimmune conditions who put it into remission through nutrition and lifestyle, right? Where we're currently at today is a reflection of our choices, decisions, our behaviors, our food over these past few years. So if we are truly stuck, then yes, that may be true, but that has to do with our routines, our habits, what we eat. So a big part of the initial stages in my restore method is going to be getting super, super clear with what I call the root cause assessment. We're going to dive deep into your symptoms, your blood work, but also really look at your habits right now. Like what are you eating? How much you're eating? What about your structure? How busy are you? Are you even sleeping enough? Are we able to manage stress? We're going to look at the full picture. Then we're going to fix what's been holding you back. Give your body what it truly needs, fuel you up, nourish the body, get you consistent, and make sure that before we even think about fat loss, you're already killing it, okay? And this needs to be said too, even though the initial stage is not fat loss focused, most people already drop body fat and build muscle just because we actually fix their nutrition and routines right off the bat. So how to apply? I already said it in the intro and you'll hear me restate this after as well. But what you can do is go to the link in the show notes, scroll all the way down. It's going to have a link for you to the direct form, or you can also DM me the word scholarship on Instagram, and it's also pinned on my feed. You can also comment. So it's literally impossible to miss. Go to the show notes or my Instagram. It takes about two minutes to apply. And the main thing that I want to hear from you is really just why should you win? It's very straightforward. It's just your contact info, so I can also reach out if you win. And then why should you win? Of course, what is your goal as well? Because I do want to have some clarity around that as well as the things that are holding you back. Applications will close on Saturday at 8 p.m. Central European time. That is 2 p.m. Eastern, okay? And then I will announce the winner on Sunday, all right? So if you know this is you, don't wait until the end of this episode or don't even wait until like Saturday. You know, it doesn't have to be last minute. I read every single application, but I will say this. We're going to have a lot. Last time we did this, we got a ton of applications, over 100, okay? So the best thing to do for you is to take action right now. Click that link or go to my Instagram. You know what the beauty is here? You can keep listening to this podcast, learn about this scholarship. In the meantime, pull up your Instagram, message me there, get the link, take the two minutes. Before you're even done with this episode, you've already applied and you have a chance on winning four months in my coaching program. You're going to work one-on-one with me, my functional health, metabolic health, nutrition coaching, self-development program. This is going to change your life. And I can say that with confidence because over 400 people have gone through my program and they were just like you. They thought they were doing everything right. They were working out. They kind of had an idea about healthy eating. They try so many different diets that they really thought like, yo, this must be just me. Or maybe I'm just too busy. I don't have enough time for myself. Look, my clients are some of the busiest people I know, so we can fix it, all right? If you and me communicate, we can literally achieve any goal. And that even includes putting our immune conditions into remission or at least supporting you as good as possible. When it comes to blood work, those kind of things, we even have partnerships so that you can get medical assistance, right? Obviously, I'm not a doctor. So if there's more going on, I'm going to refer you. So either way, you're going to be taken care of. And then even then, if you have an autoimmune or something else, cool, then I'm still going to help you with the day-to-day, the nutrition lifestyle, right? Some targeted supplementation, which at the end of the day is what gets you healing anyway, all right? And obviously medical support, we even have resources for that as well, which is not directly VME, but we do have some partnerships in place. So you get the help you need and deserve, and you'll finally get the follow-up because that is really the main thing. We are called Odyssey coaching systems. Odyssey being the journey, the journey of trying to achieve that goal, but also having to overcome the challenges and setbacks along the way, right? Self-discovery, self-development, overcoming obstacles, not getting you, not letting them hold you back, not giving up. But that second word, coaching, that's really where the magic happens. And obviously I am biased. I am the coach in this case, but we all need guidance. We all need mentorship. We all need someone to show us the way. I have a full multiple, this could even be multiple year roadmap for you already mapped out. And the cool thing here is that yes, we have my frameworks, but every single thing, every single step, every single piece of advice you will get from me is tailored to you, mapped out based on your intake, based on your current state, your current life, your routines, your habits. And we even layer in some real self-development and mindset work straight from cognitive behavioral therapy exercises that we have, not just for goal setting, but also actually working through what is holding you back from a, you know, even just a personal life kind of standpoint. Okay. Because it's my mission to fight this global health crisis, one person at a time, which is why I'm doing this. Okay. I build out what used to be the OCS framework and now the, or the OCS process right now it's the restore method. Cause I want it to get more detailed for you. Okay. I built the Odyssey. I started Odyssey coaching systems out of frustration with an industry, just selling supplements, bad dyes and quick fixes instead of real coaching. Cause there's very little real coaching in the space in 2026, even, even with this much information that we have and so many great resources. Okay. I was overweight myself and a couple of episodes, actually last episode, I talked about that. Right. And I went through exactly that. I was overweight. I was stuck. I was confused. I tried all these different things. I thought I was doing the right things, but it didn't show. I couldn't lose that weight. And then finally I got there. Okay. But again, one person at a time. That's why we're doing this because the industry is not serving you. The industry is just there to have your, you know, hard earned money and keep it to you and sell you even more. I joke about this with people, but I'm like, yo, I kind of want to make sure you don't need me anymore. And that goes for you too. I don't want to keep you forever. I want to make sure that you walk away from this, knowing exactly how to manage your nutrition lifestyle and your habits for life on your own, without a coach. Now in 2024, I gave away coaching to my client, Anita, and she won the scholarship giveaway and it completely changed her trajectory. She was working shift works, very busy. And she loved it so much. Like coaching became her, her foundation. Okay. For her hectic life. And she had to do a lot of, even like after losing the weight, cause she lost the weight pretty early on. But even after that, there was a lot of mindset work still. And that's really where she flourished. Okay. So after 18 months of coaching, that's how much she loved it. She stayed for 18 months total, including that giveaway that she got for free. She lost 9.7 kilos, which is just about, what is that? Like a, maybe like a 22 pounds, 21 pounds or so, which was 12.4% of her starting body weight. And she kept it off. She built lean muscle and she entered menopause, sorry, period menopause strong. Okay. She was resilient and in her words, the journey started with a desire to lose weight, but I've learned that it's about so much more than calories and macros. And you know what, let me do this. I'm going to pull my Instagram real quick. Cause I shared a screenshot of her final check-in, which I want to share with you as well. So I'm going to pull it up right now for you. And I want you to hear this. Okay. Because losing the weight is cool, right? But it's really not, it's not about losing the weight. That might be the initial goal, but here we go. Check this out. Okay. So in her final check-in 18 months in, she says, and now we've come to the end of this journey. It's difficult to describe what this time of coaching with you has meant to me. The journey started with a desire to lose weight, but I've learned that it's about so much more than calories and macros. During this period, I've gained the tools I need to create balance, find energy and handle everyday life in a better way. I'm also proud to have realized that age doesn't have to be a limitation on what I want to achieve. You've helped me challenge myself, take chances and step outside my comfort zone, even when it involves the risk of failing. 18 months of coaching may seem like a long time to some, but for me, it has been essential to complete the journey I started. I'm left with so much more than just maintaining a stable weight. I've gained knowledge, habits, and a mindset that I have now become as a natural part of my everyday life. What I take with me moving forward is not only the results I've achieved, but also the confidence that I have the tools I need to continue the journey on my own. Johan, thank you for your support, the challenges, and the belief you've shown to me throughout this entire period. That is what it's about. That is why I do this scholarship in one paragraph. And that is what I want to wrap it up with. Okay. We are celebrating six years of Odyssey coaching systems. And I want to reward you for being a listener, for being here on this journey with us, for being on the Odyssey together, literally all you need to do. And again, take action right now. I know you've been listening. I know there's a lot of sneaky listeners, by the way, too, but I know there's a lot of people who kind of ghost on Instagram and you don't, or not ghost, but like, you kind of like following in the background. If you hear me talk, I am calling you out. I know you're watching my posts, even though you might not be liking my posts. I know you're watching. No, I know you read my newsletters. I know you listen to this podcast. And I'm going to call you out right now because how long are you going to keep waiting? Okay. How long are you going to keep waiting? Last episode, I said the same thing. The average life expectancy is just about 80. And if you're around 35 or over, then you've almost lived half of your life already. How long are you going to wait? Because you don't have that much time. This week only, I'm giving away four months of nutrition coaching with me on the house. All you got to do is go to my Instagram with a link in my show notes before Saturday 8 p.m. Central European time. Okay. So that is 2 p.m. Eastern. If you've been feeling like, you know, you do everything right, you're going from one diet to the next, and then the supplements and all that, you already work out, you're bloated, tired, fatigued, right? You have a little bit of a snappy, kind of like a short fuse with the kids, right? And your schedule is just too crazy right now. That makes you feel like, I don't have time for this right now. I can't do this. Yes, we can. We can figure it out. I've seen 400 plus people do the same thing, and they were in the exact same spot as you. So make sure to go to the show notes on my Instagram right now, DM me the word scholarship, or just grab the direct link in the show notes. Tell me why you should win, and then I will talk to you in the next episode.
