What's Your Goal?

Fat loss — without starving, overtraining or wrecking your metabolism
Lean muscle — shape your body, not just drop weight
Strength — actually get stronger, not just tired
Physique — build a body you feel proud of
Fitness — move better, feel better, have energy again
Health — support your body properly, not fight against it

Online Coaching

Optibods Nutrition Plans are built around one belief — weight loss should work with your metabolism, not against it.

I work with women across a wide range of health conditions, including diabetes, PCOS, hormonal and thyroid concerns, insulin resistance and post-gastric surgery support.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

I assess your history, your patterns and how your body responds to food, then structure your nutrition accordingly.

With ongoing coaching and adjustments, we focus on steady, sustainable fat loss that protects your metabolism and supports long-term health.

Personalised Nutrition Coaching

Hi everyone

For those who haven’t met me, I’m Jo Scott, a Weight Loss Nutritionist and Habit Coach based in Townsville.

I own Optibods for Women, hold Personal Training qualifications, am a qualified chef, and previously owned Opti Eats, a weight loss meal preparation service that helped hundreds of locals take the guesswork out of healthy eating.

For the past 11 years I’ve worked with more than 1,000 women, helping them lose weight, improve their relationship with food, and understand what is actually happening inside their bodies.

My approach is a little different. Rather than handing out generic meal plans, I use my own coaching system, software, recipes, educational programs and family-friendly meal ideas to help people create habits they can maintain long term.

I work with you and your current diet, your taste buds (the most important part), and issues such as:

Weight loss resistance
Emotional eating and food cravings
Sugar addiction and binge eating patterns
Gut health and gut bacteria balance
Menopause and perimenopause
PCOS
Insulin resistance and pre-diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes support
Metabolic syndrome
Thyroid-related weight concerns
Digestive issues including IBS & Celiacs
Gastric surgery patients
Weight loss injection support

One of the things my clients love most is that I don’t just tell you what to eat. I teach you why you’re eating, how habits are formed, what drives cravings, and how to make food work with your lifestyle rather than against it.

I’ve recently opened up limited home visit appointments for people who may be unable to travel, are home with a new baby, have mobility challenges, or simply feel more comfortable getting started in their own home.

If you’ve been struggling with your weight, energy levels, cravings, or simply don’t know where to start, feel free to send me a message. Happy to answer questions and point you in the right direction.

Ever look at those big group gym photos and think… yeah nah, not for me 😅
Too many people, too much pressure, nowhere to hide.

I get it. That’s exactly why Optibods isn’t built like that.

You’ll see group pics on my page too but they aren’t big groups and they aren’t groups that train as a group.
I just grab them as some walk in and some walk out.

Love this one … but I don’t know how they’ve done it!

Mum & Daughter have both somehow managed to lose exactly 6.9kgs each 🤯

Like how does that even happen? 🤪

But how freaking good!

Keep up the awesome work ladies, you are both doing fantastic 💖

Sick of doing “all the right things” and still not losing weight?

Eating healthy…
Trying diets…
Starting over every Monday…

But nothing actually sticks?

That’s because no one’s ever shown you how your body actually works.

Not calories alone.
Not cutting carbs.
Not starving yourself.

Your body runs on a system… and once you understand it, everything changes.

Less cravings
More control
Better energy
Real, sustainable weight loss

This is exactly what I teach.

Female-specific.
Real life.
No bullshit.

Are you relying on the scales to tell you if you’re making progress?

Because they don’t tell you much at all.

You can be losing fat, gaining muscle, improving your health…
and the number barely moves.

That’s why we use the Evolt 360 body composition scanner.

It gives you 40 detailed readings — body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, metabolism, hydration, and more.

And the best part…
you don’t just get a printout and forget about it.

Your results are stored in the app, and every scan you do after that is compared side by side.

So you can actually SEE what’s changing inside your body over time.

No guessing. No frustration. Just real data.

$15 per scan

If you’re serious about understanding your body — this is where you start.

Technique Masterclass 💫

Don’t waste that gym membership.

Thinking of joining a gym but no idea what to do once you walk in?
Or already going… but just floating around guessing?

I’ve got you.

I’m running an Optibods Masterclass — a small group, hands-on session where I teach you how to train yourself.

This isn’t a PT session.
I teach you how to do it yourself, safely and properly.

Not just “here’s a machine”…
I teach you:

* What exercises actually shape the body and build lean muscle
* How to perform them properly
* What tempo to use
* How to choose the right weights
* How to adjust exercises easier or harder as you progress

So you can walk into any gym and actually know what you’re doing.

And you don’t leave empty handed…

You’ll get a take-home cheat sheet book with:

* The exact exercises we cover
* Simple cues so you remember what to do
* How to choose your weights
* A basic structure so you’re not guessing

Something you can actually use when you train on your own.

Small group only — limited spots

If you’ve been putting it off because you don’t know where to start… this is your starting point.

Love this right here 👇🏼
Miss 29 weeks pregnant still smashing out her workouts.
She has reduced to just one session per week to keep her body strong and not overdo it.
And is an absolute inspiration and had to share her with you all.

Keep up the work Miss mumma, you got this xxx

Frozen shoulder doesn’t just happen… it builds.

Starts as a little catch.
Bra gets harder to do.
You ignore it… or stop using it.

That’s how it gets worse.

Less movement → more stiffness → more pain → even less movement.

Super common in women over 40 because of:
Less strength work
Less full range movement
Old injuries
Hormonal changes

Early signs:
Can’t reach behind you
Pain lying on that side
Arm won’t lift like it used to
Deep ache down your arm

Don’t smash it… and don’t stop completely.

Move it properly. Gently. Consistently.

Wall slides
Chest opening
Light rotations
Arm circles

That’s what keeps it working.

Your body isn’t breaking… it’s tightening up from lack of the RIGHT movement.

This is one of those stories that make me smile.

Miss Anthea was so happy that she was able to move heavy equipment with her husband on the weekend.

He was busy cleaning up the property and was struggling to move something.

She jumped right in, not expecting to be much help, but surprised herself and her husband by having the strength to be useful.

It’s these little things in life that being fit and strong brings.

So proud of you Anthea, 💖

Miss Indy’s progress pics 🤩
This is what happens when things start to click.
Posture changes.
Shape changes.
Confidence lifts.
You can literally see her standing differently… that alone says everything.

She didn’t need to starve herself.
She didn’t need hours of cardio.
She needed understanding, consistency, and a bit of grit.

And now she’s kicking arse 👊🏼

Proud is an understatement.

Keep up the awesome work hun xx 😘

Are you stuck in a cycle of sugar cravings, guilt, and starting over?

You’re “good” all day…
then by night it’s like something takes over.

You eat more than you planned
feel crap after
promise yourself tomorrow will be different

…and then it just repeats.

That’s the cycle.

It’s not lack of discipline.
It’s not because you’re weak.

It’s because your body is underfuelled, confused,
and trying to get your attention the only way it knows how.

The bloating
The cravings
The binge eating
The low energy
The constant food noise

It all connects.

You’re not broken.

You’ve just never been shown how your body actually works.

That’s what Body On™ teaches.

Not a diet.
Not restriction.

Real understanding.
Real structure.
So you can finally shut the food noise up and feel normal around food again.

If this sounds like you… you already know.

Miss Kate’s first progress pics 🤩

Kate this morning: “I can’t see anything… I feel the same.”

Also Kate… 👇🏼

This is exactly why I take photos.

Because your brain will lie to you before your results do.

Kate came to me completely lost. Confused with food, no idea what to believe anymore, and honestly… no faith that anything was going to work.

Fast forward 4 weeks.

She’s done the Body On™ program.
She understands her body now.
She understands food.
She’s not guessing anymore… she gets it.

And the result?

3.5kg down in 4 weeks.

That’s the sweet spot. Not rushed, not extreme… real, sustainable change.

But the best part isn’t even the scale.

It’s this 👇🏼

Look at her posture.
Look at her presence.
Look at her face.

That’s not just weight loss… that’s someone starting to believe again.

She walked in flat this morning… then I showed her these.

Instant shift.

Energy changed. Mood lifted. Confidence came back.

And what happened next?

She pushed herself HARD in her session. Out of her comfort zone, no hesitation.

This is why we do it properly.
This is why we learn, not just “diet”.

Because when it clicks… everything changes.

Proud of you Kate. We’re only just getting started 🔥
