Only 30 minutes per day. That’s all it takes to transform your health.
The program is designed for busy professionals. Access content anytime, anywhere. You can choose when to engage with the material, during the day or evenings.
Depending on your chosen package, the cost ranges between R14 950 to R24 283, which can be paid once-off or over 6 months.
If you are a member of the Nammed Medical Aid Fund, you may qualify for the FIRE180 benefits if your plan is above the Basic Plan and you are not currently in a waiting period.
If your medical aid doesn’t cover FIRE180 as a benefit, it may still pay for blood tests and supplements.
The program is grounded in robust scientific evidence and has proven effective for nearly all individuals, except those with specific genetic conditions.
While some individuals may require more than 40 days to fully reverse their insulin resistance, they ultimately achieve the desired outcome.
We have evidence of more than 70% of the participants who reversed their insulin resistance following the FIRE Guidelines.
However, if you feel that the program is not suitable for you, we offer a 100% refund if you request it within 30 days of starting the course. Your satisfaction is important to us.
The Essentials:
- A smartphone or computer with internet access
- That’s it! Everything else is optional but helpful
Nice-to-Have Items:
- A printer (to keep track of your journey with our printable resources)
- A basic digital scale (if weight management is part of your goals)
- A blood glucose monitor (if you’re taking diabetes medication)*
- A blood pressure monitor (if you’re on blood pressure medication)*
*Note: If you’re currently on medication for diabetes or high blood pressure, these monitoring devices help you and your healthcare team track your progress safely. Many pharmacies stock affordable options, and your medical aid might even cover them.
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t feel pressured to buy everything at once. Start with what you have, and add tools as needed. We’ll guide you on what’s most important for your specific situation.
Yes, the program is designed for people of all genders. The nutritional information and recipes are also designed as such that you can adapt food choices according to your cultural and personal preferences. The science-based principles we teach are effective for everyone.
The programme is specifically designed for adults (older than 18 years), however, the principles of healthy eating is applicable for the whole family.

If you have one of the following conditions, you unfortunately DON’T qualify to participate in FIRE180:
- Blood clotting problems NOT on treatment
- Disorder related to pyruvate carboxylase
- Disorder related to carnitine
- Disorder related to how well your body breaks down amino acids
- Disorder related to how well your body breaks down fatty acids
- Disorder related to your body’s ability to store glycogen
- Previous Gastric Bypass surgery
Unfortunately, the program is not specifically designed for vegetarians and vegans. Animal products such as meat and dairy products form a significant part of the nutrition plans.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insufficient insulin production in the body. Therefore, this course is not specifically designed for type 1 diabetics. However, individuals with type 1 diabetes who have implemented the FIRE recommendations have experienced significant reductions in their daily insulin requirements. Additionally, some of the adverse effects associated with type 1 diabetes have been reversed in these individuals.
While our program is not primarily focused on weight loss, many participants have found that once their insulin sensitivity is restored, excess weight naturally starts to diminish.
We emphasise the principle that “You don’t lose weight in order to get healthy. You get healthy in order to lose weight.”
Therefore, if you are looking for a scientifically grounded approach to weight loss, our 180-day journey can certainly assist you in achieving that.
Most participants notice improvements within the first 3 weeks, with significant changes by month 2. This is not a quick fix or a crash diet. We address the root cause of metabolic “un-health”, which may take up to 6 months – or even a bit longer – to reverse.
You will have all the practical tools and support necessary to maintain your new lifestyle and reverse your insulin resistance. You will also have the option to join the FIRE Circle, our vibrant online community of like-minded individuals, where you will continue to receive new information, tips and encouragement.
