Welcome to the
The Zest Method
I am a former military doctor in preventative medicine, working with individuals and organisations to stop patients becoming patients in the first place.
EX-MILITARY
DOCTOR
PERSONAL TRAINER
We are so overstimulated and time-poor that wellbeing falls to the bottom of the list - until burnout and sickness forces it to become a priority.
Having felt overwhelm and burnout myself, I draw on medical insight, behavioural science and personal experience to deliver services to individuals and organisations based around a holistic framework built on four principles.
4 Core Principles
A Health Blueprint to Self-betterment
Nutrition
Food is medicine.
The Mind
Positive mind, positive body.
Movement
Consistency brings results.
Freedom
Investing in your future self.
Meet Dr Amelia O’Reilly
Your Preventative Medicine Consultant
As a former army doctor, personal trainer, a diplomat in occupational medicine, and certified lifestyle & functional medicine practitioner, I have spoken to over 4000 patients & unwell employees and seen first-hand the importance of prevention.
"I recently had a 1-1 consult with Dr Amelia and went in assuming it would be the usual conversation about healthy eating habits, the kind of advice we’ve all heard a thousand times. Instead, I was genuinely taken aback by the depth and direction of her approach. Dr Amelia didn’t just talk about food or routines, she opened my eyes to a completely different way of understanding health and wellness. What stood out most was how quickly she got to the root cause of what was really going on, far beyond surface level habits. She helped me understand what truly makes me tick, uncovering patterns and mindsets I didn’t even realise were driving my choices. In a single session, she pinpointed the very thing that had been holding me back ‘my personal Achilles heel’ something many of us spend years, and often a lot of money, trying to identify. If you’re ready to delve into your habits and you are truly invested in the long haul improvement then I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Dr Amelia. Her gift lies in taking something so many of us silently struggle with and transforming it into an experience that feels insightful, empowering and even fun. Everything she shares is digestible, grounded, and delivered with a warmth that makes the whole process feel not just doable, but genuinely exciting. Beyond her expertise, Dr O'Reilly is simply an incredible person to work with. Supportive, intuitive, and deeply committed to helping you understand yourself on a level that actually creates change. This is so much more than healthy eating and exercise. It’s clarity and transformation and it starts the moment you sit down with her."

I do feel able to ask for your advice at any time,you feel like one’s own private physician.Thank you again." - Nicola

"Amelia has really helped me reshape my mornings and build habits that feel more sustainable and motivating! The biggest breakthrough for me has been unlocking the morning and finding momentum to get out of bed and move my body. I now sit at my desk at 9am already exercised, showered and mentally prepared which has made a huge overall energy and focus." Beth

"I can’t recommend Dr. Amelia highly enough! I now go to her for all of my wellness needs - physical and mental. Her insight, care, and practical advice made and continue to make such a difference for me (I even gave her a card that said, “She saved me thousands in therapy”). Emily

"I have confidence knowing I can turn to her for health advice. She listens, she understands, and she offers solutions that actually work. Dr. Evans has become my go-to for all aspects of wellness, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found her!!" - Lola

"My cholesterol was way too high and statins were the next step, but Amelia has helped me change my diet and the way I exercise; so now my cholesterol is just above normal without taking statins. What a result! All because Amelia looked at my history, at what I eat and how I exercise, and then devised a food and exercise plan that suited me. Not huge changes but really important ones, which are sustainable, and have made such a difference. “Education, enhance, empower” are more than just buzz words on Amelia’s website; she really has made a difference to my lifestyle and well being." - Zara
