Healthorize yourself

Welcome to my blog... healthorize.com!

Good health is no accident!  That's the conclusion I've come to after many years of researching and lecturing on health.

After operating a prominent weight management clinic for several years and making some rather startling observations about obesity, I then joined a scientific R&D company working on novel solutions to obesity and diabetes.

“To whom much is given, much is required” said the great teacher Jesus, and I do feel compelled to share what I’ve learned.  Ignorance is not much of an excuse when you realise your health has gone beyond the point of no return.

My aim through this blog is that we can discuss and learn together how to keep ourselves and our loved ones healthy.

Life is not something to be taken for granted and sadly too many realise this when it’s too late.  Nature is a powerful force for the benefit and pleasure of those who understand and respect it.

A bit more about me...
I'm a husband of 6 years and proud father of an amazingly talented 3 year old boy.  I had a fairly strict religious (Christian) upbringing and have read and studied the bible copiously.  I believe that the universe as we know it was created by an all-powerful being who is in complete control, but that as the custodians of this planet, we have a fundamental responsibility to keep it healthy.

I commenced my working life as a stonemason and can proudly say I personally restored many heritage listed historic buildings and homes in Adelaide, South Australia.  After 15 years as a fair dinkum tradie, I tumbled into bookkeeping and have spent the past decade in business and financial management.  Somewhere in the middle of all that, I became keenly interested in health and wellbeing.  Thanks to a very steep learning curve in association with a health & longevity clinic, I began leading seminars on health, with a focus on antioxidants, hormones and skincare  I also became a certified Cosmetologist!

Establishing a weight management clinic was a challenge, but taught me volumes about metabolism and how food affects our body chemistry.  This motivated me to dig deeper into available research on obesity, endocrinology and metabolism.  Surprisingly, I discovered that there is an abundance of credible research in existence, but much of it has never been stitched together to complete the story.  This is a story I hope to share through Healthorize.
