It is time to stop pretending you feel fine
Because you don’t. Not really.
You feel it.
The tiredness, the heaviness, the fog, the stress, the stubborn weight, the sleep that never restores you.
Your body is not failing.
It is asking you to finally pay attention.
These problems did not appear because you are getting older.
They appeared because you were never given the right way to support your health in the first place.
Midlife is not the end. It is the wake up call.
I help men and women rebuild their energy, strength and clarity through a simple, functional approach that actually works. Real nourishment. Real movement. Real recovery.
This is where you come back to yourself.
Welcome to your upgrade.
Your Body Has Been Asking for Better for a Long Time
You feel the dips in energy. You feel the weight that will not move. You feel the bloating, the tightness, the fog and the low mood that never fully lifts.
These things are not random. They are the price of years spent pushing through stress, eating in ways that never nourished you, and ignoring what your body tried to tell you. Midlife did not cause this. It simply removed your buffer.
Your body is not breaking down. It is calling you out of survival mode. It is asking for proper nourishment, real strength and better recovery. This is not about doing more. It is about doing what finally works. When you give your body the right inputs, it changes fast. It wants to feel good. It wants to feel strong. It wants you back.
The functional Health Method
Three Pillars. One Simple System. Built for Midlife.
Your body does not need another complicated plan. It needs the foundations it has been missing for years. When these foundations fall into place, everything begins to shift. Your energy rises. Your mood steadies. Your body responds. You finally feel like yourself again.
Meet Patrick Meijer, Your Functional Health Coach
I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and think “This is not who I used to be”.
There was a time in my late forties when I felt tired, unfocused and more out of shape than I wanted to admit. My joints hurt. My sleep fell apart. My mood dipped.
I thought I was doing the right things. Eat a plant-heavy diet. Move more. Reduce stress. The problem was that none of it was actually supporting my body. I was guessing. I was hoping. I was confused by all the contradictory advice. And I was trying to fix symptoms instead of addressing the truth.
Everything changed when I stripped my health back to what the body actually needs. Real nourishment. Functional strength. Proper recovery. Simple inputs that finally made me feel human again. I did not follow a trend. I listened to my body for the first time.
Today, in my fifties, I feel stronger, clearer and more alive than I did in my twenties. Not because I work harder. But because I finally work with my body instead of against it.
And this is what I help others do. Not with pressure or perfection. Not with rules you cannot keep. But with a clear path that fits real life and real midlife physiology.
You are not failing. You are not behind. You have simply never been given the right way to support yourself. That is what I am here to change.

Functional Movement: Strenght for Real Life
You do not need punishing workouts or long hours in the gym.
You need strength that helps you move through your day with confidence.
Functional movement builds muscle, improves posture and protects your joints.
It gives you stability, balance and the ability to handle life without strain.
Midlife is not the time to push harder.
It is the time to build the kind of strength that keeps you capable and energised.
Movement should leave you feeling stronger and more alive, not worn out.
Why This Works
You have tried diets. You have tried routines.
You have tried pushing harder, hoping something will finally click.
None of it lasted because none of it supported your biology.
Real health does not come from restriction or force.
It comes from giving your body what it has needed all along.
When you nourish yourself properly, your body has the raw materials to repair.
When you train functionally, your strength shows up in real life.
When you sleep and recover, your nervous system settles and your metabolism wakes up.
These are not hacks. They are fundamentals. Once they fall into place, everything else follows.
Your mood steadies. Your energy rises. Your weight shifts. Your confidence returns.
This works because it respects how the human body is designed to function. At any age.
But in midlife, these basics become non negotiable.
They become the foundation for everything you want your life to feel like.
My Turning Point At Age 49
There was a moment in my late forties when I realised I no longer felt like myself.
I was tired, foggy, stressed and heavier than I wanted to admit.
My joints hurt. My sleep was poor. My mood was flat. And nothing I tried made it better.
I was following the same advice everyone else follows. Eat healthy. Exercise more. Push through. But none of it was actually supporting my body.
Everything changed when I stopped guessing and started giving my body what it truly needed. Real nourishment. Functional strength. Better recovery.
Simple choices that finally made me feel human again.
The transformation was not instant, but it was real. My energy returned. My mind cleared. My strength came back. I felt connected to myself in a way I had not felt for years.
Today, in my fifties, I am healthier than I was at twenty five. Not because I work harder, but because I finally work with my body instead of against it.
And if I could come back from that place, you can too.
