  • The Essentialist Method™ helps you reset your mind-body connection. It aims for your natural baseline. It does this without unrealistic goals or generic "diet and exercise" advice. We focus on three things. First, mindset work. Second, a science-based diet to retrain hunger and boost metabolism. Third, body contouring exercise to reshape your body.

  • Biohacking is the art of making intentional lifestyle changes. The goal is to optimise mental and physical well-being.

They are in a purposeful sequence to unlock progressive milestones. This approach goes beyond optimisation. It will fix your mind-body connection and will lead to lasting, sustainable change.

  • The Essentialist Method™ was originally developed by Jessica Dang as a personal solution. While not a certified nutritionist or personal trainer, she achieved transformative results, overcoming bloating, binge-eating, and weight fluctuations to restore her body’s natural proportions. Inspired by others’ results from following her journey, she formalized the Method with guidance from dietetics and bioenergetics expert Nikki Crendal and certified trainer Michael J. Clark, who fully endorse her approach. You can learn more about their expertise under About.

  • Not at all! Life is about more than ‘diet and exercise. The Essentialist Method™ is a 12-week program. It helps you get lasting results. Each week builds on the last. It will help you find your natural baseline and reset your mind-body connection. Once done, you'll know how to maintain your results and reset them when needed.
