What is a nutritional alignment framework?
A nutritional alignment framework is a precision, data-driven nutrition programme built on an objective metabolic baseline rather than a generic diet plan. JJB Calibrated Ltd builds these for business owners, executives and fast-paced professionals, treating nutrition as a core business asset that supports biological energy, cognitive clarity and systemic stamina.
What is a Dietary & Metabolic Audit?
The Dietary & Metabolic Audit is a rapid, precision baseline assessment that isolates the nutritional bottlenecks affecting executive energy levels. It includes a full metabolic calculation and an immediate 7-day nutritional alignment roadmap, and is the usual starting point for a new engagement with JJB Calibrated Ltd.
How long is the 12-Week Lifestyle Overhaul?
The 12-Week Lifestyle Overhaul runs for 90 days. It is the signature implementation protocol at JJB Calibrated Ltd, a structured physical and nutritional transformation programme engineered to overhaul metabolic resilience, body composition and sustained focus without disruptive diets.
What is the Executive High-Performance Concierge?
The Executive High-Performance Concierge is a fully managed, low-friction concierge health service for regional CEOs and Managing Directors. It provides complete external management of dietary logistics, travel optimisation and performance biometrics, for leaders who cannot afford to leave their energy and focus to chance.
Is this a diet plan?
No. JJB Calibrated Ltd does not sell generic diet plans and does not bill by the hour. Every framework is built on an objective metabolic baseline and combines data-driven structure with strict accountability, so the outcome is predictable rather than left to willpower or guesswork.
Is nutritional guidance from JJB Calibrated medical advice?
No. Nutritional guidance from JJB Calibrated Ltd is delivered on the basis of an RSPH Level 4 accreditation in Nutritional Science, Performance Nutrition & Dietary Analysis. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take medication, consult a qualified medical professional first.

How much does an engagement cost?
Every engagement is scoped individually, so JJB Calibrated Ltd quotes on a bespoke basis rather than publishing prices. All engagements are scoped and capped up front on fixed fees, with no ambiguous hourly escalations or unbudgeted surprises. Get in touch for a bespoke quote.
What are your payment terms?
Smaller, fixed-scope jobs are settled upfront before work begins. Larger core projects require a mobilisation payment on signing, with the balance due on sign-off. Ongoing retainers are invoiced monthly in advance. Ad-hoc advisory outside agreed milestones is available at a standard day rate.
