I began my career as a nurse, and after completing my training I soon found myself assigned to working in the gastroenterology section of a large hospital.

At the time, this seemed somewhat ironic. As a child, I had what my mother described as a “weak stomach”, which was her way of saying that almost anything could give me a tummy ache.

My “weak stomach” subsided for a few years during my teens, but returned with a vengeance when I began my nursing career.
I worked 12 hour shifts, attended university, ate on the run, went home to cook and care for my family, and looked after everyone’s health except my own. Stomach aches and pains were a daily part of my life.

I also worked in the operating theatre – so, when it comes to the digestive system, I’ve seen just about everything there is to see from the inside out.

Later, I worked in the offices of leading colorectal and gastroenterology specialists.

I knew from my own experience, that when your digestive system isn’t working properly, nothing else in your body is, either. 

In those early days, I just did what the doctor recommended. I took whatever pills and potions I was prescribed. If I was lucky, they worked and eased the pain. If I wasn’t lucky, I would just grin and bear it – I didn’t want to jeopardise my job. After all, I was hardly a glowing advertisement for a gastroenterologist!

Over so many years, I saw the same patients in the same clinics, over and over again, trying to simply maintain their poor state of health and their poor quality of life.

I watched in dismay as so many of them experienced even worsening health, due to the side-effects of medication, and the damaging effects of a long-term toxic gut on their other bodily organs and cellular functions.

I became increasingly frustrated and disappointed at the inability of mainstream western medicine to actually help people (including myself) to become well.

Sadly, I began to realise how ineffective most doctors are at solving chronic health problems. Western medicine is focused on “managing” disease – suppressing symptoms – not addressing the underlying causes. In conventional medical textbooks, there is virtually no discussion of “health” and precious little about nutrition – it’s all about “disease” and “management” and “medication”.

I came to see that hospitals, doctors and the health-care system in general actually rely on continuing illness – good health is bad for business.

And I didn’t want to be a part of that system.

And I didn’t want to be like the patients I saw everyday – relying on prescriptions to get them through the day, with no end in sight, and steadily deteriorating health.

I realised that if anyone was going to figure out my digestive problems, it would have to be me – after all, nobody else would be even half as motivated as I was to find an answer, and I was fortunate to have access to an enormous amount of expert research.

And so … I returned to university, to study clinical nutrition and alternative medicine.

The more I studied and researched, the more I came to see that so many illnesses are easily treated with a combination of dietary and lifestyle modifications, nutritious food and herbs, and targeted nutritional and herbal supplements.

The more I researched about the pharmaceutical industry, the less I liked what I saw – massive conflicts of interest between food and drug manufacturers, doctors, researchers and even government bodies.

And, yes, there are certainly conflicts of interest and mis-information campaigns in the natural health industry, too – which is why I aim to present the most up-to-date and accurate research in my books.

I have travelled to many eastern countries and had the privilege of working with some of the finest Chinese and Ayurvedic practitioners – I’ve left no stones unturned in my quest to find the best possible solutions for good health.

My own health improved dramatically when I took charge of my own healing – I was free of stomach pain and problems for the first time in my life, my psoriasis and headaches vanished, and I felt better (physically and mentally) than ever before.

After now after working with thousands of clients over so many years in successful clinical practice, I can assure you that you can overcome your digestive health issues – without drugs. And by conquering digestive imbalances, your overall health will dramatically improve – physically, mentally & emotionally.
