Hi, I'm Debbie
I embrace ageing & preventative health!
Most of my immediate family and brothers-in-law passed away in their 30's, 40's, and 50's due to cancer-related and heart-related disease. Not wanting the same fate, I found my passion of researching health & wellness and what I needed to do to age well, with vitality. It evolves as I experiment and evolve, through different life stages.
There was a time in my 40's when I thought I was eating well, yet my body was giving me signals - the ones we put down to 'old age' or 'normal'. Things like reflux, headaches, lethargy, body-aches, stiff joints and weight gain.
The things many people reach for a pill to fix.
Instead, I questioned the mainstream medical approach, the food industry, our environment and the emotional connection to dis-ease. Some things resonate with my beliefs around health and wellness and I am always ready to have those beliefs challenged and changed, if necessary. So many AHA moments along the way.
I graduated as a Functional Nutrition Consultant: learning about Vitalism and using a holistic approach to health.
Happy to report that I'm now in my 60's, living life with energy, mobility and marbles!

We've been led astray by marketing and big profit takers!
The modern consumer is overwhelmed with conflicting dietary information.
The diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry yet there are millions of people struggling with weight concerns.
The foods you find in the supermarket aisles promote health claims in their marketing, yet we have an epidemic of ill-health.
The 'anti-aging' market is a thriving industry yet many of us are biologically older at a cellular level.
My mission is to create awareness and empower others to not settle for the 'Diet Culture' or "it's part of getting old" mindset.
Yes we are ageing, however many of us are ageing a lot faster due to the choices we're making on a daily basis.
Let's shift our mindset and make simple changes so we can enjoy life with better energy, mobility and mindset.
And so, A Healthy Awareness was created...
Healthy - in a good physical or mental conditions. Indicating or promoting good health. Normal, natural and desirable. Showing physical, mental. or emotional well-being. Beneficial to one's physical, mental or emotional state: conducive to health*
Awareness - the quality or state of being aware; knowledge and understanding that something is happening or exists. Promoting a heightened awareness of the problem*
