Justin is the Founder of 360 and a healthcare practitioner with over twenty years of experience working in medical clinics, professional sports and corporate wellness. He has a Master of Science Degree (MSc) with Distinction in Personalised Nutrition, where he specialised in neuroscience and the gut-brain axis in depression. You can read his thesis here.

Justin originally graduated from the University of Bristol. Since then, he has trained intensely over 23 years in different fields of health, including functional medicine, nutrition, biosciences, preventative health, fitness, movement therapy and human performance. He has been certified by many educational organisations, such as the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), EXOS, NASM, ALTIS, the CHEK Institute, and Middlesex University.

During much of the 2000s, Justin was an educator in the health and fitness industry delivering courses for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in the U.K. He has supported the European Team in multiple Ryder Cups, including 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2023.  Justin has sat on the European Tour Medical Advisory Board since 2009 as a non-clinician, offering proactive advice to support player health. Justin is a published author, having contributed to the textbook ‘The Routledge Handbook of Strength and Conditioning: Sport-specific Programming for High Performance’ published in 2018.

Justin continues to consult PGA, DP World Tour, Challenge Tour, LPGA Tour, and LET golfers. He has helped multiple players win over a dozen Tour events, including two Major winners, Justin Rose (U.S. Open) and Georgia Hall (The Open). Justin travelled extensively with Justin Rose from 2009-2019 and was one of the backroom team helping Justin win the U.S. Open in 2013, Olympic Gold in 2016, the season-long PGA Tour (FedEx Cup) in 2018, and go from a world ranking of 70 in 2009 to world number one in 2019.

Justin also consults players in top-flight football, from the English Premier League to the German Bundesliga. Footballers want to get an edge in their careers and do all they can to maximise their potential and longevity in the game. Justin provides laboratory diagnostics, data analytics and high-performance care to help players in this respect.

Whilst much of his consulting work is behind the scenes in elite sports, Justin is passionate about helping everyone live their best. To this end, he and his team have built an all-in-one digital 360 healthstack™ (which combines our app, e-learning platform and coaching programme) to help high performers get the most out of their health and performance. The 360 app won the London Design Awards for Digital Health in 2020 and is used privately by all our athletes and clients because they want to be proactive, preventative and personalised in their approach to wellness.
