Energy/Depression

LisaMy name is Lisa from Gauteng. I used to work very long hours in a very stressful job. From a very young age I developed bad eating habits, living on a diet high in sugar and caffeine. I started having serious problems – no energy, bad skin, sluggish digestive system, cellulite, illness – always on antibiotics and the worst was my depression. I was miserable everyday of my life and extremely moody and negative.

Within 2 weeks of being on this Wellness Programme, I started waking up feeling energised! My cellulite disappeared and I had a glow to my skin. My health improved and doctor’s visits became a thing of the past. The best part is that my depression lifted. Very soon after my amazing results one of SA’s top modelling agencies approached me. I’ve now been able to model locally as well as internationally, ranging from Editorials, Fashion Shows and Commercials. The fashion industry puts huge demands on models to look their best and this programme allows me to stay in top shape without compromising my health!

Thank you Wellness IQ!


VanessaMy name is Vanessa from Gauteng, I’m 36 years old and have 2 children aged 10 and 13. For the past 6 years I have not been able to maintain my weight, it has been up and down between ideal weight and being 5-6 kg overweight.  The last year I have not been able to lose those extra kilos at all. Before starting on this Wellness Programme I was always tired never lasting through the day and often falling asleep at 8pm.  I thought this was normal, and that it came with being a mom. I needed to lose 5kg to reach my ideal weight.

I lost these 5kg in only 7 weeks! With the weight loss, I also lost 28,5cm! My energy levels have gone through the roof, I am a lot more productive now and I sometimes do in a day what I used to do in a whole week.  It has now been 3 and a half months since I started and I have now lost 6,5kg and 34,5cm.

I will always be healthy because of the Wellness IQ programme!


IzellMy name is Izell. My whole life I’ve been healthy & active in sports. But in ‘99 I got ill & after a liver biopsy it was determined that I had liver dysfunction due to a severe case of Jaundice. I lost 13kg in 4 months & was terribly underweight for my length. Dieticians couldn’t solve my problem and I battled with my weight ever since. I had no resistance to illnesses and constantly battled with the flu, colds, arthritis, sinusitis and PMS.  As you can imagine, I had very low energy levels & immune system which impacted negatively on my exercise regime.

In Oct ‘07 I phoned my Wellness Coach and began using this Wellness Programme. I soon started feeling energetic & could cycle again. In Dec ‘07 I began cycling with my husband & 4 of his training partners (all men). I was very surprised how my strength increased & my recovery improved while on this programme. We trained 4 days a week and on Saturday mornings we did a long distance ride. We trained very hard with different intervals & muscle exercises. The last race (before the Argus,) I did a rolling hills course, 80km in 2h14.

I am happy to say that I’ve gained weight & now have a normal BMI of 20. I have lots of energy, no sinus, no arthritis & haven’t been sick as yet. I recommend this Wellness Programme if you want to gain or maintain weight, but most of all, it is a healthy nutritional sports programme that works!

It changed my life!!!
