The Story of Christie Hewlett
Founder of The Health Nut | Natural Health Advocate | Wellness Warrior

Hi, I’m Christie — the heart and hands behind The Health Nut, a proudly South African wellness brand dedicated to helping families thrive with 100% natural, high-quality supplements that work. 🌿

My journey began like many of yours — as a mom trying to navigate the confusing world of health, nutrition, and pharmaceutical overload. When my son became seriously ill after a pharmaceutical intervention, I knew there had to be a better way. That moment changed everything. I poured myself into the world of natural healing — studying, experimenting, and sourcing the best nature has to offer. A range of world-class natural supplements made with only the ingredients I trust enough to give my own family. From liposomal vitamins and medicinal mushrooms to herbal formulas and detox essentials, every product is designed to support your body the way nature intended. But this isn’t just a business — it’s my calling. I’m here to challenge the narrative, empower you with real knowledge, and help you take your family’s health into your own hands. Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, or just want to feel your best — I’ve got you. I’m also a passionate equestrian, mom to two incredible teenagers, and a woman committed to living in alignment with nature, truth, and soul. I believe in functional nutrition, feminine strength, and the healing power of plants and purpose. ✨

Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to walk this path of vibrant health with you. Get healthy, be happy — naturally. With love,
Christie 💚

They don’t call it The Mushroom of Immortality for nothing 🍄✨

For centuries, Reishi Mushroom has been used to strengthen the immune system, calm stress, and promote longevity — it’s truly one of nature’s greatest healers.

Unlike stimulants that just “boost” your immune system, Reishi is an adaptogen — meaning it helps your body adapt to stress while balancing immunity, hormones, and inflammation.

💚 Here’s why we love it:
🌿 Regulates immune function (not just boosts it)
🌿 Reduces inflammation and supports lung + liver health
🌿 Lowers stress and promotes deep, restorative sleep
🌿 Strengthens the body’s resilience over time

Whether you’re fighting off colds, recovering from burnout, or simply wanting to age well — Reishi is your daily reminder that true health starts with balance.

✨ The Health Nut’s Reishi Medicinal Mushroom — pure, powerful, and designed to keep your body strong for the long run.

Ever feel bloated, tired, or just off — no matter how healthy you eat? 😩

Your gut might be waving a red flag 🚩

When your microbiome is out of balance, everything suffers — from your energy and digestion to your skin and mood.

That’s why your body might be begging for a good probiotic 🦠✨

🌿 The Health Nut’s Spore Probiotic is different.

Unlike regular probiotics, these spore-forming strains survive stomach acid and actually colonize the gut, where they restore balance, improve nutrient absorption, strengthen immunity, and lift your mood naturally.

Your gut is the foundation of your health — heal it and everything else follows 💚

👉 Take one capsule daily and start feeling the difference.

Most people wait until they’re sick to start boosting their immune system — but by then, your body’s already fighting an uphill battle 🦠😷

True health starts with consistency. 💪

Daily dosing of Liposomal Vitamin C, Zinc, Probiotics, and Medicinal Mushrooms helps your immune system stay ready — not reactive.

💡 Remember:
You can’t “catch up” on nutrients when you’re already run-down.

Prevention is powerful medicine 🌿

✨ Make immune support part of your everyday routine — not just your sick-day plan.

Muscle isn’t just for looks 💪 — it’s your metabolic power bank ⚡️

The more muscle you have, the better your body uses glucose for energy (not fat).

Less muscle = faster sugar spikes + insulin resistance.

👉 Lift, move, and fuel your metabolism naturally! 🌿

Discipline isn’t about punishing yourself — it’s about honoring yourself. 💪

It’s choosing nutrient-dense food when your cravings scream otherwise.

It’s showing up for your workout even when you’d rather stay in bed.

It’s taking your supplements, hydrating, sleeping well, and protecting your peace. 🌿
Every small act of discipline says:
✨ “I respect myself enough to do what’s best for me.”

Squats don’t just build muscle — they boost testosterone, balance estrogen, and support insulin sensitivity.

Lifting weights is one of the best things you can do for your hormones, metabolism, and mood!

✨ Nourish your body. Move with purpose. Support your hormones naturally.

The Health Nut

Christie Hewlett has always had a keen interest in health, but became nuts about health when she became a mother in 2007. She was living in Northern Mozambique at the time, with limited access to decent healthcare and a baby who was constantly ill after suffering an adverse reaction to his 6 week vaccinations.

She turned to homeopathy, herbs and nutrition and hasn’t looked back since. She is currently furthering her studies in Naturopathy, with a focus on Advanced Holistic Nutrition and is on a permanent quest to find the highest quality supplements and remedies available.

Christie started the Facebook group, “Vaccine Awareness South Africa” in 2012 to help parents make informed decisions regarding vaccines and the illnesses associated with them. In 2014, she then created the Facebook group, “Natural Health, Nutrition & Vitality” to provide support and discussion for non-vaccine related health issues.

Christie recommends several excellent tried and tested immune boosters, flu busters and health remedies on her groups. It has not always been easy in the past to find all of these products.
