After 30 years of yoyo dieting, self hate and a bad relationship with food, I now class myself as a healthy eater and feel this is who I am now. This programme has rewired my brain. I see a much happier and healthier future ahead of me!

Having very little help from my doctor I was left to research for myself which can leave you confused. This app is very easy to use, full of the relevant information you need and tailored to you.

Gro Health gave me the discipline and structure to meditate regularly and effectively; I've really enjoyed using this feature of the app, among its many others.
