Meet Katie Hunter
Functional Nutritionist, women’s health expert and passionate wellbeing advocate.
My background has its foundations in the health and wellness sector, with a Bachelor of Physical Education, and a Post-graduate Diploma in Sport and Exercise Medicine. I have spent many years working as a personal trainer, and as a gym manager, leading high performing teams, and supporting and nurturing clients on their wellness journey.
I’m proud to say I live a life where I feel energised and inspired, every day. But it wasn’t always that way.
You might think that, of anyone, I should have known what a healthy, balanced life looked like. But underneath the healthy exterior, was a very unsustainable lifestyle.
I was that person who pushed themselves to the limit. From the moment my alarm went off at 4.30am I was on the go, trying to be successful in my career, maintain good grades in my studies, fit in some form of movement into my day, as well as being a good wife and support person to friends.
My stress bucket was full and overflowing. I was not listening to my body's signs and symptoms. I experienced headaches, digestive problems, skin issues, hormonal imbalances. I had low energy and did not sleep well, but I kept pushing through. Not surprisingly, the day came where my body just shut down and couldn’t take the pace I approached life at any more.
It was a wake up call to slow down, and relook at how I considered ‘health’. This change of pace is what inspired me to focus on functional nutrition - using food to heal, nourish, uplift and nurture. In healing myself, I became passionate about understanding the power of real food, and I graduated as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.
Today, I help others feel energised and healthy within their own body, too.
I work with women who are where I once was - sacrificing their health for a career, for everyone else, or for a lifestyle that is impossible to maintain without the right nutrition.
I know what it’s like to go through life feeling exhausted, overweight, experiencing digestive problems, skin problems, imbalances or any other on-going issues - but it doesn’t have to be that way!
My approach is to get to the root cause of these symptoms and I have the tools to be able to teach you to listen to your body to be healthy, energised and glowing from the inside out! With the right approach to food, life can be amazing - I’m living proof of that, and I’d love to help you transform your life too.
