Alex Neilan: Health Is The Smartest Investment You’ll Ever Make

When it comes to investments, most people think about pensions, property, or savings. But according to Alex Neilan, founder of Sustainable Change Ltd, the most important investment you’ll ever make is in your health.

“Without health, you can’t show up fully in your career, family life, or personal goals,” Alex explains. “Energy, confidence, and resilience all start with how you look after your body and mind.”

Why Health Pays the Biggest Returns

Alex Neilan has spent years proving that long-term wellbeing doesn’t come from crash diets or punishing exercise regimes. Instead, his approach is about building small, consistent habits that compound over time – just like interest on a financial investment.

This philosophy has helped over 90,000 people – many of them women over 50 – break free from yo-yo dieting and discover a healthier, more balanced life.

“Investing in your health isn’t about perfection. It’s about putting in the small deposits every day that add up to life-changing results,” Alex says.

Science Meets Real Life

With a BSc in Sports & Exercise Science, an MSc in Health & Nutrition, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Dietetics, Alex Neilan combines academic knowledge with a deep understanding of human behaviour.

Since 2015, he has worked as a sports nutritionist and behaviour-change specialist, blending science with empathy. His programmes are designed to be practical – built for busy people, not for elite athletes.

Transformations That Last

One client, Angela, joined Sustainable Change after decades of failed diets. “I thought I’d never get it right. But with Alex’s support, I’ve lost two stone, my blood pressure is down, and I have the energy to play with my grandchildren. That’s an investment I’d make every time.”

Stories like Angela’s are echoed across Trustpilot, where Sustainable Change Ltd boasts a 4.9-star rating from hundreds of reviews.

Getting Started

Alex Neilan makes it easy for anyone to take the first step. His YouTube channel (Alex Neilan – Sustainable Change) offers free, practical guidance – including the popular video The 3 Secrets of Sustainable Weight Loss.

As Alex puts it: “The best time to start investing in your health was yesterday. The second-best time is today.”
