Meet Patrick Meijer – Your Functional Carnivore Coach
Meet Patrick Meijer – Your Functional Carnivore Coach
Hi, I’m Patrick.
And like many of the people I now coach, I didn’t get to midlife feeling energised, strong, or in control of my health. Quite the opposite.
A few years ago, I was constantly tired. The weight was creeping on, my focus was fading, my joints were aching, and I didn’t feel like myself anymore. Every attempt to “fix it” left me more frustrated and more confused.
That changed when I stopped chasing trends and started listening to what the human body truly needs, especially in midlife. I simplified everything. I turned to real, nutrient-dense animal foods and built a fitness routine that was actually sustainable.
And it worked.
Now, at 51, I feel stronger, leaner, clearer, and more alive than I did in my 30s. But more importantly, I’ve made it my mission to help others do the same, without overwhelm, extremes, or perfectionism.
I’m a Certified Holistic Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a ME Fat Loss Coach, but titles aside, I’m someone who’s walked this road and knows what it takes to turn things around.
If your body feels like it’s slipping out of your control, if you’re tired of guessing what’s “healthy” and what’s hype, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
You just need a way of living that works with your body now, not the version you had 20 years ago.
This is what I help people do every day.

Functional Fitness Supports the Life You Want to Live
Functional Fitness Supports the Life You Want to Live
You don’t need a gym membership, fancy equipment, or hours of free time to get strong.
What you do need is movement that makes you more capable. Not just in a workout, but in real life.
As we get older, fitness isn’t just about aesthetics.
It’s about having the strength to carry your groceries without strain.
The flexibility to squat down and play with your kids, or perhaps even grandkids.
The resilience to recover faster, move with confidence, and feel at home in your body.
This program focuses on functional fitness, simple, effective movement that builds strength, mobility, and energy in ways that matter every day.
You’ll build muscle, improve joint stability, and increase flexibility.
Not to impress anyone, but so you can feel good, stay independent, and move through life with power and ease, now and for years to come.
This is about training for longevity. For real life. For the long game.
And it works, even if your schedule is full and your knees make more noise than they used to.
Why This Works (No, It’s Not a Miracle)
Why This Works (No, It’s Not a Miracle)
You’ve probably asked yourself, “Does this actually work, or is it just another passing trend?”
Fair question, especially when you’ve tried so many things already.
This isn’t about hacks, hype, or miracle cures.
It works because it’s based on how your body actually functions, and what it needs most in midlife and beyond.
Nutrition That Restores
An animal-based diet provides the nutrients your body stops absorbing efficiently as you age, protein, healthy fats, and bioavailable vitamins and minerals.
It helps reduce inflammation, stabilise blood sugar and hormones, support your brain, and keep you satisfied without constant hunger or overthinking every meal.
No tracking. No extremes. Just real food that works.
Movement That Makes Sense
The fitness side is simple, sustainable, and designed for how real people move.
You’ll build strength, mobility, and resilience, not for the gym, but for everyday life. To move with ease. To stay independent. To age with confidence and capability.
Why It’s Different
This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a simple, sustainable approach to food and movement that works — especially for your body right now.
A Transformation That Changed Everything
A Transformation That Changed Everything
At 49, I hit a turning point.
I was tired of feeling flat, physically, mentally, emotionally.
I knew I had more in me, but I didn’t feel like myself anymore. So I made a decision: to stop guessing, start simplifying, and give my body what it was really asking for.
I shifted to a fully animal-based way of eating, clean, nutrient-rich, and deeply satisfying. I moved my body with intention, building strength through functional exercises that made me feel capable again, not just sore and worn down.
The change didn’t happen overnight. But it was real. And it was worth it.
My energy came back. My body got stronger. The aches and heaviness I’d chalked up to “getting older” started to fade. And more than anything, I felt present, powerful, and clear again.
Now, in my 50s, I can honestly say:
I feel better than I did at 25. Not younger. Just better. Stronger. More alive.
And I know that if it can happen for me, it can happen for you too.
