My interest in nutrition started in my late 20’s. At the time I was leading a less than healthy lifestyle and more often than not, I felt tired, sluggish and bloated. Out of desperation to feel better I read a book I was given on detoxing. I felt totally out of my comfort zone but soon found myself following a plan. It was tough and very different to my ‘norm’ but was simple enough to follow and the results were amazing. I was hooked. This was the moment I realised the power of nutrition and its impact on health. Inspired, in 2005, I enrolled myself onto a 4-year diploma at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition.
