Work 1:1 with Dr. Ludidi

I help people with a special, demanding lifestyle - entrepreneurs, executives and elite athletes - who have lost their grip on their health. Not with meal plans, diets or quick fixes, but by treating health as a skill you train. Rhythm, food, movement, rest, with mindset underneath.

Exclusively 1:1 since 2010 · A small number of new clients each month

The approach

A strong foundation, first

Dr. Ludidi works with entrepreneurs, executives, elite athletes and public figures: people with a demanding or unusual lifestyle who have lost their grip on their health.

Rhythm, food, movement, rest. That is where 95 percent of your health is won.

The Dr. Ludidi Method pyramid: foundation 95%, optimisation 5%

95% of all people only focus on the top of the pyramid.

What he doesn’t do

Separate plans and schedules

Diets

Quick fixes, or transformations aimed only at looks

What he does

Build a strong foundation in line with human nature

Rhythm first, food follows

Optimisation, including fasting, only once the basis is in place

What you gain

A skill no one can take away

You learn to steer your health yourself, so you no longer depend on diets, cures or the next good intention. You build stable energy through the day, without the high peaks and deep dips. From there you become more vital, stronger and fitter. Losing fat or gaining muscle often comes as a by-product, not as the goal.

What you keep is health that comes along on holiday, in a busy season, and especially when things get tough.

Think of it like this

Learning an instrument from a teacher. He can teach you to play, but you practise yourself. Health is a skill you build by practising. You do the real work, but you’re not alone.

What it asks of you

1. One weekly 1:1 session of sixty minutes

All sessions are fixed in both calendars before you start, including the closing session on location.

2. Fifteen minutes a day of assignments

Self-work, next to your everyday eating, sleeping and moving: self-care.

3. Tracking what you do, daily

Small notes, every day.

4. An outspoken yes

Without that yes, Dr. Ludidi doesn’t start. That last one sounds strict, and it is. Doc would rather help you well than fast.

“What we work on is a personalised method and strategy that also works when life happens.”

Where it starts

The Emergency Protocol

Every trajectory starts with an Emergency Protocol: a handful of daily basics, three universal and two tailored to you, small enough to keep on your busiest and worst days. Once a version works, it’s locked. Success first, then you build.

How it works

From application to your trajectory

Step 1

Apply

Fill in your application, completely. It costs you nothing.

Step 2

Screening

Dr. Ludidi reads and analyses your answers. You hear from us whether an intake makes sense.

Step 3

Intake

1:1 with Dr. Ludidi, about one and a half hours. He analyses your situation and decides which trajectory fits.

€500 excl. VAT (€605 incl. VAT)

Step 4

Your trajectory

Most start with Foundation, twelve weeks. The intake is credited in full, so you never pay twice.

From €5,000 excl. VAT (€6,050 incl. VAT)

No menu

You don’t pick from a menu. Dr. Ludidi decides, based on his expert assessment, which trajectory brings you the most. Clear, without being pushy.

And yes: doc sometimes says no

If you have too little energy or too much on your plate right now, he won’t add to it. If your answers already show it isn’t the right fit or the right time, we tell you beforehand, free of charge. Not a rejection: matching timing with realism.

“Science meets real, human coaching”
Samefko connects science with practice in a way that’s people-focused and warm. He was always accessible and responded to every question quickly. My goals have been fully achieved — both mental and physical. I learned how everything connects.

“For the first time, I feel in control”
The guidance was highly personalized — covering nutrition, exercise, sleep, and lifestyle. I lost inches, dropped kilos, and gained something bigger: control. For the first time I feel like the voice in my head is my own. I’m now in charge of my choices.

“It taught me about my patterns and gave me peace”
After years of trying every diet and never lasting, I started working with Dr. Ludidi. He taught me about my patterns, my pitfalls, and how to actually deal with them. It’s not just about food — it’s a way of life. It gave me so much peace.

“The fatigue that haunted me for years completely disappeared”
For years I suffered from fatigue that nothing could fix — not even thyroid medication. After 12 weeks with Dr. Ludidi, the fatigue disappeared completely. I lost 5 kilos, my blood pressure dropped, and I have more energy now than when I started.

“I went from hating food to loving how I eat”
I had an unhealthy relationship with food — constantly counting calories, restricting, then overeating. Dr. Ludidi got me out of that cycle completely. I went from being frustrated and angry to taking care of myself in a loving, sustainable way. Thank you, Doc.

“The special journey I took with Samefko Ludidi not only made me lose weight and become healthier, but also made me look at my entire lifestyle in a completely different way. So also mentally.”

MMA athlete, formerly PFL and LFL
“After things went drastically wrong during my last weight cut and I was hospitalised with kidney failure, I knew things had to change. My hormones were all over the place: no period, a late one, or one that lasted 11 days. With Dr. Ludidi, we started eating according to my hormonal cycle. No calorie counting, but feeding my body what it needed. For the first time in all my years as an athlete, I didn’t have extreme cravings for fast sugars.”

“As a professional athlete, I’ve realised that nutrition is often elusive. Dr. Ludidi shed a much-needed light on it, with attention to detail not just for athletes, but for anyone’s wellbeing. As a family man, I also value his insight into what we feed our children.”
