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 💚

Your body is always whispering… and collagen is one of the first places those whispers show up 💫✨

If you’ve been feeling “off” in your skin lately — tired, dull, inflamed, or just not yourself — these signs might be your body begging for more collagen.

Boosting collagen isn’t just about beauty — it’s about strengthening your gut, joints, hormones, skin barrier, and even your recovery after training.

If you’re noticing these symptoms, it’s your reminder that collagen isn’t optional… it’s foundational.

Daily scoop. Consistency. Glow from the inside out.

The Health Nut’s Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides = pure, clean, highly absorbable, and honestly life-changing. 🤍✨

Ready to feel the difference?

William has grown up with The Health Nut’s products — literally most of his life — and watching him step into adulthood strong, healthy and grounded is one of my biggest joys as a mom ❤️✨

The little habits we built over the years… staying hydrated, supporting his immune system, choosing natural products, prioritising real wellness… they’ve shaped him into the healthy young man he is today.

It’s moments like this — laughing together, slowing down, living simply — that remind me why I do what I do.

Wellness really does start at home, and I’m so grateful for the lifestyle we’ve created together 🌿💛

Here’s to raising healthy humans, one small habit at a time.

Verbascum Ear Drops have been one of our quiet little essentials for years.

For ear discomfort, blockages, pressure, or irritation after swimming — this works beautifully every time 🌿✨

It’s one of those products you’re always grateful to have in the Mom’s Emergency Kit, especially during travel and festive season.

Festive food and travel can be tough on the gut — which is exactly why Changbao stays in my bag during December 🌿✨

This powerful ChinaHerb formula is indicated for sudden episodes of:
• nausea
• vomiting
• diarrhoea
• abdominal pain
• excessive bowel sounds

These symptoms are often linked to gastroenteritis (viral or bacterial), food poisoning, overeating, or even a cold or flu that affects digestion.

In Chinese Medicine, this is known as an acute damp attack, and Changbao works by expelling dampness and calming the gut fast — it’s one of the most reliable remedies for sudden digestive discomfort.

If you’re travelling, eating out more, or enjoying festive meals… keep this in your bag. It works quickly, gently and effectively ✨

Activated Charcoal has been in our home for YEARS, and it’s one of the most important pieces of the Mom’s Emergency Kit 🖤✨

It’s the first thing we reach for when someone suddenly feels:
• nausea
• diarrhoea
• food poisoning
• stomach bugs
• bloating or gas
• accidental exposure to toxins

✨ When to use it:
At the very first sign of tummy discomfort, nausea, or diarrhoea — or anytime you suspect food poisoning.
The earlier you take it, the better it works.

✨ How to use the powder:
Add two heaped teaspoons of The Health Nut’s Activated Charcoal to a medium sized glass, add very little water to make a paste. Now fill the glass slowly, stirring vigorously all the while. Preferably taken on an empty stomach or as needed.

Important:
Take it at least 2 hours away from other supplements or medication — charcoal absorbs everything (which is why it works so well).

It’s fast, natural, and a lifesaver during travel season and festive chaos 🌿✨
If you don’t have this in your home yet, start here.

If there’s one non-negotiable in our household — it’s The Health Nut’s Liposomal Vitamin C.

William has grown up on this, and even now as an adult, it’s still the first thing he reaches for. Not because he has to… but because he feels the difference 🧡🌿

Whether it’s:
• staying healthy through travel
• keeping immunity strong during the festive rush
• recovering faster after long days
• or just supporting everyday wellness

…this is the one product we always keep stocked. No compromises. No gaps. Just pure, high-quality Vitamin C that works exactly where it needs to.

I truly believe every family should have a bottle in their home — especially this time of year ✨

As we move into the festive season — holidays, travel, long days, social gatherings and everything in between — this is the one kit I always keep close: The Mom’s Emergency Kit.

Will has used these products for most of his life, and even now as an adult, I still keep them on hand because they work. They’re safe, natural, and genuinely effective. And as a mom, nothing gives me more peace of mind than knowing I’m prepared — whether we’re travelling, out for the day, or life just throws an unexpected curveball 🙏🏻🌿

Here’s what’s inside:
✨ Activated Charcoal – for nausea & upset tummies
✨ Liposomal Vitamin C – immune support when it’s needed most
✨ Verbascum Ear Drops – amazing for ear discomfort
✨ Wound Spray – for cuts, bites, grazes
✨ Organiforce – a powerful herbal antiviral
✨ Liposomal MSM – for pain, inflammation, and fever
✨ Changbao – gentle support for digestion

This kit has genuinely helped my family for years, and during the festive + travel season, it becomes absolutely essential.

If you want to step into December feeling calm, prepared, and supported… this is the kit I recommend every mom has on standby 🌿💛✨

So many of us move through life with tight chests, shallow breathing, tense necks, racing thoughts, and a nervous system that never gets a chance to exhale.

Somewhere along the way, survival mode became normal — even expected. 😮‍💨

But your body was never designed to stay in that state.

Survival mode is meant to be temporary…
a moment, not a lifestyle.

When you slow down, nourish yourself, breathe deeply, sleep well, and create small rituals of calm, you’re not being “lazy” or “unproductive.”

You’re allowing your body to return to the state it’s meant to live in:
safety, softness, presence, clarity. 🌿🤍

This week reminded me how much our bodies long for rhythm, rest, nourishment, and peace — not perfection, not hustle, not constant stimulation.

Just calm.
Just safety.
Just a chance to breathe again. ✨

Let today be your reminder that you are allowed to step out of survival mode.
Your body will thank you for every gentle choice you make. 🤍

Our children learn so much more from our energy than from anything we ever say.

Before they understand words, they understand tone.
Before they understand routines, they understand safety.
Before they understand stress… they feel ours.

A calm life really is something we model for our children — through the way we breathe, the way we slow down, the way we handle overwhelm, and the way we choose softness over survival. 🌿🤍

When we regulate our own bodies, something beautiful happens:
Their shoulders drop.
Their breathing slows.
Their confidence blooms.
Their nervous systems settle because ours finally feels safe.

We don’t have to be perfect moms.

We just have to be present, grounded, and willing to break the cycle of chaos our generation grew up in.

A regulated mother creates a regulated home — and that becomes the foundation our children build their entire emotional world on. ✨

Here’s to choosing calm, not only for ourselves, but for the incredible young humans watching us more closely than we realise. 🤍💛

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.
