How this website came about

Hello, my name is Louise and I am the founder of Nutrition and Healthy Eating Australia. This website came about when I started my journey in Nutritional Medicine to gain my qualification as a Whole Food Nutritionist.  

But going back a decade, the reason why I become so passionate about Nutrition was because I had no education or idea about healthy eating let alone what it even meant. I was raised on a typical Australian diet of “meat and 3 veg” and was educated about the "Food Pyramid". When I moved out of home I ate nothing but dead food because to me it tasted great and why would I eat anything else?

In my early 20’s I was diagnosed with IBS and had a leaky gut (which was no wonder as my diet was atrocious), I had acne which wouldn’t go away, I was always sick and I didn’t just get the cold... I got the flu which is ten times worse! Plus I was tired all the time, unmotivated, and depressed - I thought it was normal to be like this as I didn’t know better.

It wasn’t until my mid 20’s that I was given a book called the “pH Miracle” by Dr Robert Young and this changed my entire world. I healed myself of IBS, repaired my gut, my acne left and I boosted my immune system with good nutrition which stopped the cold and flu from coming into my life.

I had a new lease on life! Increased energy, motivation, passion for living and I felt strong again. I couldn’t believe changing my eating habits and having property nutrition would make such a profound difference to my life.

This is why I decided to become a Nutritionist, so I could help others do this too.

Our society is sicker than ever:

• 60% of Australians are either overweight or obese, this figure is rising.
• Commercials are advertising products calling them “nutritious” when clearly they contain more harmful ingredients than absorbable nutrition.
• Food shopping shelves are full of products which are high in sugar, saturated fat and refined carbohydrates.
• We have food industries which have been around for many years telling us to eat their products which evidence shows they do us harm.
• The resources available to Australians are behind in their times, boring and complicating what should be easy and enjoyable.
• What is more detrimental is the pharmaceutical industry prescribing drugs for things which could easily be dealt with by eating healthier.

This is why Nutrition and Healthy Eating was created, to EMPOWER Australians to take control of their health and lead a longer, healthier and happier life by providing them with the right education, tools and resources to go about do this.
