Ela Alegre

I am a professional singer and recording artist. Everything was going great until in 2017 I noticed I was slowly gaining weight and having difficulties performing. Energy was down and I hardly had the stamina to make it through the evenings performances. I decided to switch over to a ketogenic lifestyle hoping to regain my strength and energy. Not only did I lose the extra weight, I got back to performing at my best. Throughout the process of adapting to this lifestyle change, I discovered my passion for health and wellness. I decided to venture down this path to learn more and get more involved. Since 2017 I have been enriching my education, taking numerous courses and studying with the best. I have also started another new business COVO, the Coconut Evolution, which manufactures Brain 8, a pure C8 MCT oil.

Estrelita van Rensburg

Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

I trained as a medical doctor in South Africa and subsequently worked as a researcher and lecturer of medical students at several universities in South Africa. Following my academic career, I joined the pharmaceutical industry in the UK as a Global Medical Director, which enabled me to travel and work with medical professionals in several major international hubs. However, due to the stressful work environment I was exposed to, I realised the importance of preventative medicine, rather than rely on the treatment of disease symptoms, which is the current standard medical care globally. My own personal research covered the most common diseases of today (e.g. obesity, diabetes, heart disease and dementia) where I discovered that it was the importance of nutrition and in particular the LCHF and Keto diets rather than medication which was the key to a healthy lifestyle. This led me to The Nutrition Network where I studied LCHF and Keto diets in depth. I changed my diet to that healthy way of life, massively improving my own and my partner’s health. I would like to help you take ownership of your own health by teaching you how to implement a healthy nutrition programme and can be contacted on email: [email protected]; mobile +44(0)7535259809; website www.wellnesseq.co.uk or Facebook @wellnesseq.

Frank Zweedijk

The Netherlands

Frank has been been working as an osteopath for over 25 years. Improving the motion within the human body enhances the flow of blood and other fluids and optimises neurological function resulting in enhancement of the self-healing potency of the body. This system only works when the right food is consumed and the hormonal function of the body is optimal. As an osteopath, he received limited education in nutrition. Looking into the scientific dietary data, his interest in the low carb high-fat diet was triggered. He switched his personal diet from high carb living to the very low carb, high fat ketogenic diet combined with intermittent fasting and has been in ketosis for over a year now. He experienced lower inflammation in the gut and joints, mental improvements, better recovery after training, better sleep and more energy. Stimulated by the positive personal experiences and the vast amount of scientific back up he has implemented nutritional advice in his osteopathic treatment. As a result of his advice, more and more patients are switching to a low carb high-fat lifestyle with very good results. Contact by e-mail: [email protected]

Ioana Bichut

Nutrition Network Advisor

Montreal, QC, Canada

I have fought many health battles in my life. In 2018 I adopted the intermittent fasting and LCHF diet and I experienced tremendous benefits. I feel better now in my 50s than in my 30s. No one expects to get better as time goes by! I read and researched extensively to understand the science behind those amazing results. My experience had a strong impact on my relatives and friends. In adopting my lifestyle and following my advice, they succeeded in not only losing weight but also in curing or improving very serious health conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, asthma, aortic valve stenosis. Having been able to help people who suffer so much gave me a strong drive to learn more and give hope to people who cannot be healed by mainstream medicine. The NN Advisor Training provided me with the right tools to help more people. In addition to being a LCHF Advisor, I hold a Master in Economics from University Sorbonne in Paris and a Financial Planner Diploma from HEC Montréal. You can contact me at [email protected]

Lisa Simmons

Tennessee, USA

I became a nurse 23 years ago to help people. Healthcare has changed and I felt like I was not being fulfilled. I have also struggled with my weight since I was a teen. I had found out about low carb just by chance. I had heard of Atkin's years ago but heard it would hurt my kidneys so never tried it. I am a carboholic. I have started keto and am having great success. I am still a work in progress but have found something I am truly passionate about. I have read, watched videos, talked with MD's and have surrounded myself with like minded people. I realize now that I have knowledge that can actually change lives and help people reverse their chronic illness. I have completed the Nutrition Network Professional Training in LCHF/Ketogenic Nutrition & Treatment Training. You can reach me on: 615-680-9270

Nutrition Network Advisor

South Africa

I trained as a Home Economics teacher in the 1970’s and am now retired. I have completed two of the Nutrition Network courses and have started the third. I am training as a Health Coach with Amanda Strydom with_impact. I have been obese all my life and could never find a diet that worked for me long term. In February 2019 I started banting with Real Meal Revolution and have finally discovered that eating carbohydrates has been the cause of my obesity. I have now lost over 20kg using banting keto and intermittent fasting. I feel better now in my 60’s than I ever did in my 30”s and 40”s. This is not a diet it is an eating plan that solves the underlying issues caused by excess insulin. You will work with your body and hormones to finally find answers to your weight gain and why you find yourself eating carbs when you are trying to lose weight. It’s all about insulin resistance.

Teresa Mealy

Missouri, USA

I graduated with my Master’s Degree in nursing from the University of South Florida in 2004 and began working as a Nurse Practitioner specializing in migraine management. Our family moved to Missouri in 2012 and it was then that I began having my own health issues that caused me to take notice. I was gaining weight, irritable, not enjoying life, and basically felt like I was going crazy. I was never one that was comfortable prescribing a lot of medications and I often looked into more natural remedies. However, being traditionally trained, I never realized the extent of research and treatments out there supporting natural treatment options. In 2013 I found a Doctor who helped me with hormone replacement for myself. Within 3 months I was feeling so much better. In fact, better than I had felt in my 20’s! I felt like I had to shout this stuff from the rooftops. I immersed myself in the studies and literature relating to bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT). I talked about it with whoever would listen. My life, professionally and personally, was transformed and I was forever grateful for being put through “the storm” in order to figure things out. In 2015 I began BHRT training through Worldlink Medical. I am currently advanced certified in BHRT through Worldlink Medical. I am also currently taking courses at the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). All of this training further solidified my belief that we need to get away from “band-aid” medications and instead rely on our bodies to heal themselves by replacing what is missing with natural preparations. I opened my own practice in 2016 to specialize in BHRT and to save the world, one patient at a time.

I have not stopped learning since my brain cleared of its fog and now am so excited to have earned this certification.

My name is Andy Taylor I have completed professional training in LCHF/Ketogenic Nutrition & Treatment and the Advisor Training. I also have an undergraduate degree in Strength & Conditioning and have been coaching young and old athletes and the general public for the past 12 years. From my own journey as a former professional athlete and now a coach, I was not feeling that I was achieving or ever had achieved my total optimal function. I was certainly starting to get the adverse effects of eating the standard diet and my health was deteriorating which to someone who had always kept themselves so-called fit was demoralising. I went searching for answers and I found the answers through the Real Meal Revolution training and the Nutrition Network training I have acquired. It is my aim to best equip my clients with the knowledge that will aid with the carbohydrate-addiction recovery model and that a low carb, high fat diet is optimal in the recovery of obesity and insulin resistance. I am based in Exeter in the South West of England and run a small clinic with my wife Claire who is a Sports Rehabilitator and injury recovery therapist. We have a private facebook group Taylormaderehab subscribers page for all our clients and this provides information on services and support we offer in our effort to help you thrive in life!

Christine Franic

British Columbia, Canada

Christine Franic, RN BSN MBA MSc DD, is a registered nurse with over 30 years in healthcare in British Columbia Canada. Her mother had a stroke at the age of 53 that left her paralyzed for 31 years until she passed away at the age of 84. Her father had his leg amputated at 60 and died of a heart attack at 73. Her parents were both type 2 diabetics on medication, insulin, 3 meals and 3 snacks a day as per protocol. This family history petrified Christine, so she studied and worked hard to ensure this didn’t happen to her. However, after years of struggle with yo-yo dieting, fatty liver, high triglycerides, gestational diabetes with her three pregnancies following the standard diabetic protocols that didn’t work she gave up. In January 2017 she was doing rounds in the ER as an Infection Prevention & Control Practitioner when she received the call from her family physician informing her that her glucose was 24mmol/L or 430mg/dL and her triglycerides were 18mmol/L or 1594mg/dL and she needed treatment stat. Fortunately, she was stabilized before any critical incident occurred. While on medical leave she decided enough was enough and her son asked her to look into the ketogenic diet. She found peer reviewed studies, trials, cases and much more in the literature on Low Carbohydrate and Ketogenic lifestyles. With nothing to lose she lost over 80 pounds and has kept it off to date. Her A1C has been at 5% for the past year and a half. She still has more weight to lose, and she knows that the body needs time to heal. When she experiences a weight loss stall she now understands the process of autophagy and how it is healing her body back to homeostasis. This is the first time that she has not gained the weight back it just stayed stalled and eventually it starts losing again. She specializes in helping people with obesity, and pre-diabetes with online group sessions and education programs, one-on-one, and retreats.

Chris Chappel

After achieving Fellowship through the RACGP (Royal Australian College of General Practitioners) as a Specialist GP, I embarked on further fellowships with ACNEM (Australasian College of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine) and IFM (Institute for Functional Medicine) because I wanted to find out the deepest reasons why my patients were sick, and wanted to do far more than just treat their symptoms with medications. Since then I've also undertaken further in depth training in mental health, diet, weight loss and diabetes reversal. But I want more than simply to help you with one issue. I want you to become the healthiest and most energized that you can be. I want your mind to be clearer than it has been in years, your inner light glowing brightly, your skin radiant and your emotional state calm and happy. To achieve such a grandiose goal requires a journey, and a commitment to put your health first. The road to wellness is sometimes difficult, and full of ups and downs, but the scientific knowledge available to us today makes it more achievable than ever before. Today I work at Evergreen Doctors in Sydney, and do online Health Coaching to people all over the world. I enjoy working with patients of all ages with every health issue, including preventative health and peak performance optimisation.

Barbara Alamo

Chile

My keto journey began by seeking better health and energy after I was diagnosed with early arthritis. I could not believe it as I thought that disease was for older people. I started to seek options and realized that it was a problem caused by inflammation. So I read some books ( Dr. Permutter´s, Dr. Fung...), and LCHF/ KETO started to make sense to me. I applied the principles to myself, then on my friends and family with amazing results. I became certified as a Keto Coach and in mid-2018 I opened Keto Club Chile! where I coach and teach as much as I can to expand the knowledge and help as many people as I can! It has been an amazing journey. Understanding food as medicine and how our body works is really fantastic!

She has a business which centers around high fat foods and says that this has also made her understand how to defend its benefits in a healthy lifestyle.

Her passion is helping people understand the truth regarding low carb and how it actually gives you control of how healthy you can be. Knowledge and understanding is the key to success.

Karin van der Hoorn

Leiden, Netherlands

Karin van der Hoorn is a qualified medical doctor who quit medicine many years ago because she felt she was doing a lot of things of which never had been proven and that might do more harm than good. She then discovered the path of low carb and (intermittent) fasting when looking for a solution to some health issues of her own (for which the specialists she consulted had no answers). She notes that she learnt a lot about health, physiology and nutrition that was never taught during training as a medical doctor. Now she strongly believe that lifestyle changes are the solution for the larger part of the tsunami of diseases in the Western World and that a low carb/ketogenic diet is an important tool. Karin became inspired to start working as a medical doctor again so she re-registered as a doctor last year. She also completed the Professional Training of the Nutrition Network and from October 2018 will start the basic Integrative Medicine/Lifestyle Medicine training at the Dutch Academy for Integrative Medicine. Karin hopes that in the near future she will be able to use her skills to help people get better through lifestyle changes, either by working as a medical doctor or by teaching medical professionals, advising organisations.

Liz Ford

Timaru, New Zealand

Liz is a nutritionist and dietitian and has been working in this field in New Zealand for over 25 years. She says that she chose this career as she has always believed that what we eat determines our health and well-being. Her goal has been to support both her family and her clients with eating well to gain and maintain their health. Nutrition science and practice is changing and she is excited to be able to offer clients guidance in this new way of eating. The latest science supports the importance of eating whole real foods. In a way this isn’t new but very similar to how humans would have eaten centuries ago. One of the biggest challenges we face in today’s health environment is the growing problem of obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These are the common concerns of her clients. It has become clear that our standard diet for dealing with these issues (low fat and high grains and carbohydrates) is not working. We also now know that recommending this low fat diet with an increase in cardio exercise is not helpful for most people, and does not help them gain health or lose weight. She now recommends an approach that is based on eating whole real foods and is generally lower in carbohydrates and higher in healthy fats (LCHF). Liz advocates avoiding all highly processed foods and foods and drinks that are high in sugars. The best foods for us are those grown locally, are in season and have as little processing as possible. She encourage her clients to cook their own food at home and grow their own vegetables where possible. Both myself and my family have found many health benefits since changing to LCHF.

Louisette Blikkenhorst

Rotterdam, Netherlands

Louisette is an Orthomolecular Therapist, Nutritionist, and Banting Coach. After having done several studies in health and nutrition she found that she didn't quite get where she wanted to be with her clients. They would get better up to a point but never all the way. That puzzled her and made her look for more answers. Then Louisette discovered orthomolecular therapy and got her certificates as a therapist. This therapy already did so much. When she learned about the ketogenic diet and the LCHF lifestyle and tried it for herself first, she knew that this was what she wanted to share with as many people as possible. At first, she notes that she used orthomolecular therapy for her clients and when nothing else worked, would start them on Banting. But now, she recommends Banting first. She has learnt and lives by the motto, "let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food". In May 2018 she started "Banting Nederland" to share the LCHF lifestyle in The Netherlands with as many people as possible.
