MOMENTUM
Type 2 Diabetes Management
A Structured, Personalised Approach
Designed for People Who Are Ready for Change
Our program is built for individuals living with type 2 diabetes and excess weight who are ready to take proactive, evidence-informed steps toward better health.
If you've been recommended weight loss medication but want to try manage your health without them, or have been thinking, "There must be another way forward," you're in the right place.
A Phased Approach to Better Health
We support you through a structured, progressive framework involving structured resistance training (weight lifting) and dietary interventions that aims to helps you:
Improve blood glucose control (including HbA1c)
Reduce body weight in a sustainable way
Increase energy, physical activity, and daily confidence
Build lifelong skills for health and lifestyle management
Each phase builds on the last, allowing your habits, mindset, and results to grow with you. This isn't a crash diet you need to stick to forever. It's a guided transformation tailored to your needs.

Jack Ryan
Co-Founder / Dietitian (APD)
After several years in clinical practice, Jack created MOMENTUM to deliver measurable results for adults with type 2 diabetes. Partnering with Dr Jakub Mesinovic, a researcher in metabolic health, exercise and nutrition, he brings rigorous evidence into day-to-day care.
Jack helps clients achieve significant weight loss and, where possible, diabetes remission through structured nutrition, progressive resistance training, and habit coaching.
His approach emphasises independence - building skills in meal planning, protein targeting and daily activity so results last beyond the programme.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or aiming to reduce medications, you will get clear, practical, evidence-based support at every step.

Dr. Jakub Mesinovic
Co-Founder | Dr. (PhD) | Exercise and Nutrition Scientist
Dr Jakub Mesinovic is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN), Deakin University.
He completed a BSc (Hons) at the University of Melbourne and a PhD at Monash University in 2022, and in 2023 received an Executive Dean Health Research Fellowship to test digital delivery of evidence-based exercise and weight loss prescriptions for older adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Jakub’s expertise includes the design and delivery of resistance and aerobic exercise plus nutrition interventions, informed by clinical trials and meta-analyses on vitamin D, caloric restriction and exercise.
In MOMENTUM he translates this research into practical, telehealth-ready plans that protect muscle, improve glycaemic control, and fit real life.

Why weight loss for diabetes remission?
A landmark UK primary care trial testing an intensive, clinician-led weight-loss program to put type 2 diabetes into remission used a brief pause of diabetes and blood pressure medicines, total diet replacement at 825-853 kcal for 3-5 months, staged food reintroduction, then structured, long-term weight maintenance support.
At 12 months, 46% achieved remission off medication vs 4% with usual care, with about 10 kg average weight loss in the intervention group.
The more weight lost, the higher odds of remission - 86% of those losing 15 kg or more were in remission.
Remission is realistic with a structured plan - the same pillars MOMENTUM uses to deliver coached weight loss and maintenance.
Is it sustainable?
The DiRECT 5-year extension followed the original trial to see how durable remission is with low-intensity, ongoing weight-loss support in routine primary care.
How it worked: original intervention participants were offered brief, 3-monthly maintenance support, with a short “soups and shakes” reset if weight crept up, and outcomes were tracked to year 5.
Results: at 5 years about 1 in 10 of the intervention group were still in remission, rising to 13% among those who continued GP support; they also spent far more of the 5-year period in remission, and kept more weight off, than controls.
Why it matters: sustainability depends on weight maintenance. The extension signals fewer serious health problems and hospital admissions with the structured programme, reinforcing MOMENTUM’s emphasis on long-term maintenance blocks, relapse plans, and rapid “reset” tools.
What makes MOMENTUM different?
MOMENTUM goes beyond diet-first remission programmes by hard-wiring exercise habits that protect and build muscle.
Across six months we pair structured nutrition with full-body resistance sessions , daily movement targets, and protein goals calibrated for muscle retention.
Why this matters is simple: losing weight without safeguarding lean mass can blunt metabolic rate and stall glycaemic progress, while stronger, more muscular clients finish lighter, fitter, and better able to keep results.
We embed these habits during food reintroduction and maintenance so they stick long after the programme ends.
