Great communication and advice from the dietitian. Ongoing support and regular sessions. To be honest, the app is glitchy but the website works just fine.

I didn’t actually lose any weight - which is disappointing as my dieticians couldn’t really see why. My weight gain was from a previous medication and it’s confounding why it won’t go. However I still valued this experience for the age appropriate education. Last time I engaged with hormones I was trying to get pregnant so re- engaging at almost fifty is great. I had two dieticians which meant we kind of started from scratch twice. I now know that my diet is good and so at least I can stop blaming myself so much. Elly was an amazing coach who stepped up and really stopped me fat shaming myself. That alone is life changing.

the experience was so good due to Bonnie's support and encouragement throughout the program. Reciepies are great but i found the online info hard to get my head around.

Giving one star because I had to put something there... Many question why there isn't much negative feedback - let me fill you in, and there is a lot. Most people who have left negative feedback here have done so as a last resort. As a way for them to negotiate a deal they request people remove negative feedback. Anyway, when I first saw the defeat diabetes ad pop up, I read into it and bought into the crap. I was contacted, then virtually coerced into opening an open pay account. Initially when I was setting it all up there was an issue with my ID or something. The sales person for myagi was getting pushier and pushier. Eventually it was setup. Then from there... I haven't been able to use the app. I had an iPhone 12, and no issues with anything else. Never worked. It was useless as their programs. The dietician calls, not helpful l felt more like a watered down counselling session. I got nothing from them. Being a shift worker, call time availability also was an issue. If I missed a call that was it. I had to reschedule one or two because I was not available. The app Then stopped working properly, I gave up trying to bother. Someone contacted me but no help. Any information I was provided was absolutely not worth the money. I feel the sham part of this program is they provide information that most who would have diabetes/onset diabetes would actually already know. There is nothing motivational about anything provided, I find the Facebook group has repeat stories.. very cookie cutter and makes me question the authenticity of the posters. Anyway, that is my experience. I know I am not alone in this.

The weekly calls are really helping keep me on track and put me in the right direction to help me be more healthy in my day to day. The goal setting is great because it's always done in a way that is sustainable. All of the resources are informative and help me plan my next step. The app keeps me on track because I use the food and water logging so I can see where I need to improve. I like to see everyone's ideas and journeys on the Facebook group, I've yet to use any of those resources but I like that they're easily accessible. I'd like to see time settings in the goal setting part of the app, but otherwise everything is working for me.

I joined Miyagi in Aug 2022. This program has kept me accountable to someone which I know I need. I haven’t lost much weight (9kgs) BUT I have certainly learned a lot about myself. I am not new to diet and exercise, I have learned it is not about the numbers on the scale. I have lost 3 dress sizes and feeling way more comfortable in my clothes. My main goal was to lose weight and prevent progressing health conditions, however, what I have gained is a better relationship with food and eating. I had a toxic bond with food but now I am happier and making healthy choices, not stress eating and I am more aware of my body and it’s needs and I like the way it has been feeling from the inside out. I have received great support and counsel from my weekly check-ins with dietician Alicia, who always ensures we have 3 new goals each week. I know this is a process, and will continue to learn and put old habits behind me. Thank you

Thankful to Miyagi and the wonderful coach for encouraging me on my journey to adopt a more mindful, holistic and intuitive approach to diet, exercise and life in general!

I joined the Miyagi program in October after reading about it on social media. I am glad I did as the program has helped me learn more about my health and the steps I can take to improve. The healthie app is easy to navigate and the information provided is very easy to understand and super informative. My dietitian is Lyndal who is very helpful, honest and encouraging. We do weekly regular phone consults which have helped me be accountable for achieving my weekly goals.

I joined Miyagi in September 2022, At first I was a bit skeptical even during my onboarding session with Lance my dietician, however once into the program the cards began to line up and I was more at ease, Lance is great he listens to what I have to say and offers solutions or ideas to change, and always available via text etc. The recipes are great and easy to follow, the phone app works well as does the web page

They were very friendly and very helpful. They have lots of useful handout to read and use.
