My personal health journey started as a young adult and is what motivated me to enter the field of health and medicine, leading to my MSc, naturopath and functional medicine qualifications.  Yet back then, even in a nascent digital age, I felt swamped by information overload as I struggled to overcome injuries sustained in my previous career as a Hollywood stunt woman. It was only when I sought help from naturopathic doctors and healers outside the field of conventional medicine that I was able to restore myself completely. It demonstrated to me that which remains true today: we all need to focus on what really works - there’s a place for conventional medicine and natural or alternative approaches which depends very much on what the health challenge is. My approach very much embraces the best of both and since that day I’ve maintained a personal quest and purpose dedicated to understanding what works and why, when we would choose to employ any particular intervention, how we use functional testing and blood work with supplementation or pharmaceutical medicine to address our gaps and how we can best employ prevention as the cure.

I have spent the last two decades running clinics, lecturing, hosting workshops and travelling the world to further my knowledge in cutting edge nutrition, herbalism, health tech, intermittent fasting and functional medicine. I recently spent five years discovering a back-to-nature barefoot existence with my husband and two little girls. We lived in the jungle and beaches of Central America, where we experienced personal growth and learnt a great deal through wild, ancestral and indigenous medicines. Some of these adventures are captured in my book Annelie’s Raw Food Power (Ivy Press). (Don’t worry I am not a Raw Foodist, though I love it and there’s a definite place for it!).
