Hi, brett HERE!
An entrepreneur, coach, mentor, activist and podcaster. I help people transform their health, lives and businesses.
A bit about myself and my journey in life so far...
To say that I’ve had a colourful life would be an understatement. I could write a book. Maybe 2. Aside from my personal life which saw me grow up in South Africa, live in Europe and then travel the world, and finally settle in Canada – I’ll keep this bio short and pointed to the work I’ve done over the last 20+ years.
People always ask me, “what do you do?”. It’s always been hard for me to answer because I typically always have a few irons in the fire. It’s just how I am. Generally, my work can be divided into 2 parts – Health and Activism.
Let’s start with health. I am a Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with 20 years of clinical experience. Aside from these core certifications I have also done advanced training in clinical detoxification, biotherapeutic drainage, herbs, homeopathy, Ayurvedic medicine, and quantum energy medicine.
My areas of focus have been helping people with chronic and complex health issues; typically revolving around gut health, hormone imbalances and autoimmune disease. To date I have helped close to 10,000 people regain their health and vitality, often helping people who have been failed by conventional medicine.
I have worked with many of the top supplement companies in the world as an adviser, educator, consultant and formulator.
My experience led me to a faculty position at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, one of Canada’s top schools. I have since gone on to create masterclasses on gut health, hormones and autoimmune disease, and have taught thousands of practitioners how to work with these conditions.
Lastly, in 2016 I moved out of the city and took my practice 100% virtual. In many ways I pioneered virtual practice. No one was doing it and the technology to do so was really in it’s infancy. Going virtual opened up a whole new world and allowed me to help people from all over the world – Denmark, Russia, Brazil, Italy, the UK, South Africa, Mexico and of course, North America.
I have taken this experience and mentored practitioners in business, marketing, and technology with my business partner, Daniel Chi.
Alright, thanks for reading this far.
My podcasting career has straddled both lines – health and activism. “Beyond Health Podcast” (formerly Holistic Health Masterclass) really took on a life of it’s own over the years. I changed the name during the pandemic because I started to speak out against the atrocities unfolding before our eyes. I have since retired this podcast (you can still find all the episodes by clicking here). There are some amazing episodes with some truly phenomenal people. Definitely give it a listen.
My new podcast, Onward focuses on different types of discussions. Diving deep into the realities shaping our world, Onward podcast explores changing narratives, challenges conventional beliefs, and offers forward-thinking solutions to help build a healthier, more empowered society.
Building on the work I have done with Children’s Health Defense Canada, The Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA), The Detox Project, and various health freedom networks and organizations, my goal is to have discussions that strike a balance between awareness and solutions. We are living through one of the most dramatic inflection points in human history. Trust in institutions has collapsed, people are waking up to the corruption and control by overbearing governments, and the world we once knew is but a memory.
Most of us are clear on what we don’t want to see in the world. But few people are clear on what they DO want to see.
It is time to start spending more time and energy focusing on envisioning and creating the world we want to live in, and less time trying to fight the system so to speak.
These days I tend to spend more time on this and am actively working to create new, parallel systems with a special focus on healthcare. I am also engaged in ongoing conversations with a wide variety of people in an effort to blaze new trails as we pursue TRUE sovereignty, freedom and self determination.
