About Coach Bill Malhi

I build protocols for people who carry a lot.

Not in a “push harder, hustle more” way – but in a “let’s rebuild your nervous system, strength, and spiritual clarity so you can actually live your life” way.

I’ve lived on both sides: the high-pressure, under-resourced professional world, and the strength sports world where you willingly put more weight on your back than is strictly reasonable.

The Vitalis Protocol is where those two lives finally came together and stopped fighting each other.

How I ended up here

For years, my life looked like this:

Days: IT Manager at a post-grad university – high-impact projects, constant deadlines, and an understaffed service desk that never slept.
Evenings & weekends: training for regional Strongman comps and national-level powerlifting meets, chasing numbers on the bar and standing on platforms under bright lights.

I qualified for the British and Single-Lifts Championships in the BPU, in the 90 kg and 100 kg Masters classes. I broke the deadlift record for my class on my first outing (275kg). On paper, I was “smashing it”.

Behind the scenes, the cost was adding up:

Nervous system on a hair trigger
Sleep wrecked by stress, caffeine and blue light
Food and supplements used to patch holes, not build real resilience

That tension – between performance and long-term vitality – is what pushed me into deeper study.

Credentials and Training

I’m not guessing my way through this. I’ve spent years studying how nutrition, training, herbs and recovery actually work in real bodies:

Level 5 Nutritional Therapist
Level 4 Strength & Conditioning Coach
Level 3 Personal Trainer
Master Herbalist
Advanced Supplements Advisor

Combined with:

Experience competing in regional Strongman events
Competing at national level powerlifting, qualifying for the British and Single-Lifts Championships (BPU, 90 kg & 100 kg Masters)
Broke the British Deadlift record for my class U90kg Masters on my first outing.
Years in a high-stress leadership role in IT, managing complex projects and people under pressure

So the Vitalis manuals aren’t abstract theory – they’re the distilled version of what I’ve seen work at the intersection of:

High cognitive load
Heavy physical training
Nervous-system wear and tear
And the quieter need for meaning and spiritual sanity

What the Vitalis Protocol is (and isn’t)

Vitalis is my attempt to answer a simple question:

“How do you build muscle, strength and output without burning out your nervous system or losing yourself in the process?”

It’s built to:

Give high performers a way to grow that doesn’t end in another crash
Give spiritual practitioners a body and nervous system that can actually hold deeper work
Tie nutrition, training, herbs and rhythm into one coherent plan instead of another pile of hacks

What it is not:

A replacement for your doctor, therapist, or existing medical care
A promise of miracles if you just “want it enough”
A 6-week shred or a punishment plan for when you feel behind

How I see my role

I’m not your guru, and I’m not pretending to have all the answers.

My job with Vitalis is to:

Translate complex health and performance principles into clear, usable manuals
Respect both science and lived experience
Help you build protocols you can actually stick to in a real life with work, family, and limits

If you decide to work with these manuals, you’re not outsourcing responsibility – you’re getting a map and a language for what your system is already trying to tell you.

A quick but important disclaimer

Everything in the Vitalis ecosystem – the quiz, the manuals (Core, Forge, Spirit, Nourish), and any future guides – is educational. It’s designed to help you think more clearly about your own training, nutrition, and spiritual practice.

It is not:

A medical diagnosis
A prescription
Or a substitute for personalised advice from a qualified healthcare professional

Always:

Discuss changes to medication, major supplements or training with your doctor or relevant practitioner
Work within the recommendations of your own medical team
Treat these manuals as supporting structure, not competing advice
