FUNCTIONAL NUTRITIONIST

Meet Shelley Gawith.

The Evolution of becoming a Functional Nutritionist.

From burn out to Nutritional superstar.

My journey into Functional Nutrition started with my own personal health journey. From working in the Finance industry and suffering from corporate burn out in 2010 to being told by my medical doctor there was nothing more they could do for me as every part of my body was broken.

And that it was likely I'll die in hospital.

The only thing the medical world could LABEL me with, was "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (CFS), AKA we have NO WAY TO HELP YOU, so please LEAVE US alone. Or as some Doctors put it, "your symptoms are all in your head, it's all made up."

Really the doctors had no answers. The medical world has no way to CURE the label they had given me.

I had NO CHOICE but to take control of my own health. It was either DO NOTHING and die like the medical world said OR fight for my life and work out what was beneath my CFS label. As I knew if I dug deep enough I would find answers. I just needed to learn the RIGHT questions to ASK my body.

I worked with various specialists around the world and did a long list of treatments, all of which didn't fix me.

This doesn't sound weird NOW but back then doing Hyperbaric oxygen chambers was very woo woo, that's just one of the many treatments I tried. I had a sauna installed at home, as I didn't have the energy to leave the house, I would have done 10 star jumps waving crystals if someone told me that would HEAL me, I was desperate, I tried weird water fasts, juice fasts all sorts of diets, to get me better.

I also went to therapists to see if I had emotional trauma and if that was the cause to all my "CFS" symptoms.

I was trying all angles.

I was relentlessly determined to fix myself, but also I didn't want to be ANOTHER feel good story once I healed myself.

I needed data and evidence.

So I started studying to get myself better and discovered the profound impact of functional nutrition.

IT'S ALL TRUE

"I’ve been working with Shelley Gawith for the last few months, plus have done the detox in the box, and WOW! What a difference I have noticed.

The brain fog has lifted, I’m able to think clearer, my digestion is no longer uncomfortable, foods I thought I couldn’t eat I’m actually okay eating, and I’m now pooping like a champ!

If you don’t want to live a mediocre life, chat with Shelley or give the detox in a box a try. Whatever tool you choose you will feel empowered to take on life.”

From my own story to wellness and reclaiming my health, it then turned into my soul mission to share my expertise globally.

I'm now the leading figure in New Zealand's functional nutrition landscape, where I've been interviewed by John Campbell, Breath Author, James Nestor, and several other TV presenters for my expertise around approaching health with a functional nutrition lense.

As well as being a sought after coporate wellness speaker and presenter, using my knowledge and experience to empower others.

I have now had the privilege to have dinner with Bruce Lipton to discuss the state of the world and have been lucky enough to go to private seminars with Jo Disepenza, both of whom were on my personal manifestation board.

I trained the first Functional Nutrition Practitioners in New Zealand, as well as extending my influence to train practitioners across the United States and Australia for both the Nutritional Therapy Association and Integrative Health Solutions.

Internationally Recognised and your go to Functional Nutritionist

Highly Qualified in all aspects of Functional Nutrition

(aka I talk about your poo EVERY session, guide you through parasite cleanses, while also telling you to breath deep, be your personalised blood results wizard and make sure your ENERGY tank is SUPER charged.)

My qualifications are a testament to my commitment to excellence, allowing me to provide my clients with the best methods and practices possible, so I continue to learn and add to my every growing credentials (my latest being a Diploma in Nutrition).

My expertise extends beyond mere theory; it's a culmination of my personal health journey, extensive training and working with thousands of clients around the globe.

I also realised early on the intricate connections between nutrition and well-being, which means you shouldn't expect just talk of what foods to eat or how much exercise you are doing, whenever a client works with me we tap into the stressors in their lifestyle from relationships, routines, and environmental impacts on their health.

The majority of the thousands of clients I've helped have come to me after they've sort out medical help and been told all their symptoms were 'normal'. Whether that be constantly being bloated, so tired they need multiple coffees to get through the day, suffering with brain fog, or unable to shift stubborn weight; they knew this wasn't normal and wanted alternative help.

If this resonates with you and you need to make fundamental changes to your health, nutrition and wellness.

I invite you to come on a journey with me.
