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, nutri

tion, 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 💚

Why Do People Use Castor Oil Packs? 🌿

Castor oil packs have been used for generations as part of traditional wellness practices to support the body's natural healing and detoxification processes.

Many people incorporate castor oil packs into their routine because they may help support:
✨ Lymphatic DrainageThe lymphatic system acts as the body's waste-removal network. Castor oil packs are often used to help encourage healthy lymphatic circulation and drainage.

✨ Digestive ComfortMany people find castor oil packs soothing when placed over the abdomen and use them to support digestive health and comfort.

✨ Liver SupportTraditionally, castor oil packs have been used over the liver area as part of detoxification and wellness protocols.

✨ Relaxation & Stress ReliefThe warmth and ritual of applying a castor oil pack can help encourage relaxation and support the body's natural "rest and digest" state.

✨ Healthy CirculationCastor oil packs are commonly used to support healthy blood flow to the area where they are applied.

✨ Menstrual & Pelvic ComfortMany women use castor oil packs as part of their monthly self-care routine to support pelvic wellness and comfort.

✨ A Gentle Bedtime RitualPerhaps one of the biggest benefits is simply creating time to slow down, switch off and care for yourself before bed.

How to Use
1️⃣ Apply castor oil generously to your abdomen (or desired area).
2️⃣ Place your Belly Patch over the castor oil.
3️⃣ Leave overnight or for several hours.
4️⃣ Repeat regularly as part of your wellness
routine.

The Belly Patch doesn't provide the benefits itself—it simply keeps the castor oil securely against the skin, making the process cleaner, easier and more convenient.
Sometimes the most powerful wellness practices are also the simplest. 💛

Want healthier-looking skin, more vitality and support for healthy aging?

The Health Nut Glow Kit combines three of our most popular liposomal products to help support beauty and wellness from within.

🍊 Liposomal Vitamin C helps support collagen production and antioxidant protection.

🌿 Lipo GSH provides glutathione, often called the body's master antioxidant, to help support healthy skin and cellular protection.

⚡ Lipo NMN supports cellular energy production and healthy aging by helping maintain NAD+ levels.

Together, they provide powerful support for radiant skin, vitality and overall wellbeing.

Because true beauty isn't just skin deep—it starts at the cellular level. 💛

For thousands of years, people cared for their skin using simple, nourishing ingredients from nature.

Beef tallow is making a comeback because it works.

Rich in skin-friendly fats, it helps support the skin's natural barrier while providing deep, long-lasting moisture. Unlike many modern products filled with long lists of synthetic ingredients, Beef Tallow offers a simple approach to skincare.

If your skin feels dry, tight, irritated or in need of extra nourishment, this traditional skincare staple may be exactly what you've been looking for.

Sometimes the best solutions aren't new at all—they're the ones our ancestors were using all along. 💛

People often ask me what I do for my skin.

The truth is, there isn't one magic product.

Healthy skin is the result of many small daily habits: eating nourishing foods, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, managing stress, spending time outdoors, and being consistent with your skincare routine. 💚

One thing I rarely skip is applying my Anti-Aging Serum morning and evening.

I love that it's made with natural ingredients that help support hydration, skin elasticity, and a healthy glow without exposing my skin to unnecessary chemicals.

As I've gotten older, I've become less interested in chasing perfection and more interested in taking care of myself well.

Because healthy, radiant skin isn't about looking 20 forever. It's about feeling confident in the skin you're in and supporting it as best you can every day.

Small habits.
Consistent effort.
Long-term results.

That's why I never skip this part of my routine. ✨

The most powerful medicine is often found on your plate. 💛

In a world obsessed with quick fixes, it's easy to forget that the food we eat every day provides the building blocks for our health.

Protein helps build and repair muscle.
Healthy fats support hormones, brain function and energy.
Nutrient-dense foods provide the vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive.

You don't need to eat perfectly. You simply need to nourish your body consistently.

For me, that often looks like simple meals made from real food:
🥑 Avocado for healthy fats
🍗 Chicken for quality protein
🥬 Whole foods packed with nutrients
🥬 Sauerkraut for Gut Health

The truth is that every meal is either supporting your health or working against it.

Before you reach for another supplement, ask yourself:

"Have I nourished my body today?"

Because while supplements can be incredibly helpful, they should always complement a healthy diet—not replace one.

Small choices, made consistently, create extraordinary health. 🌿

I am often asked what supplements I take around my training sessions, especially while preparing for events like Hyrox and the Skukuza Half Marathon.

Here are my current favourites:

🏃‍♀️ Before Training
½ teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda

Why I take it:
• Helps buffer lactic acid buildup
• May reduce muscle burn during intense exercise
• Supports endurance and performance

💧 During Training
¼ teaspoon Celtic Salt in my water bottle

Why I take it:
• Provides natural electrolytes and trace minerals
• Supports hydration
• Helps replace minerals lost through sweat
• Supports muscle and nerve function

💪 After Training
5g Creatine Monohydrate

Why I take it:
• Supports strength and power output
• Helps preserve lean muscle mass
• Assists recovery
• Supports brain health and cognitive function
• One of the most researched supplements available

😴 Before Bed
1 serving Magfulvate

Why I take it:
• Supports muscle recovery
• Helps promote restful sleep
• Supports relaxation and stress management
• Replenishes magnesium levels after training
• Helps reduce muscle tension and cramps

The truth is that consistency beats complexity every time.

You don't need a cupboard full of supplements. Focus on the basics, support your recovery and give your body what it needs to perform at its best.

These four simple habits have become non-negotiables in my daily routine. 💛

🥭 THE BEST ATCHAR IN THE WORLD? We certainly think so! 😍

Most atchars are made with inflammatory seed oils, refined table salt, artificial preservatives, and heavily processed ingredients. Ours is different.

The Health Nut Atchar is made the way food should be made — with real, nourishing ingredients that your body can recognise and thrive on. Every jar is handcrafted in small batches using fresh green mango, premium macadamia nut oil, mineral-rich Celtic sea salt, and a carefully selected blend of traditional spices.

✨ What makes our Atchar so special?

✔️ Fresh green mango
✔️ Macadamia nut oil (no inflammatory seed oils)
✔️ Celtic sea salt (rich in natural trace minerals)
✔️ Dried garlic
✔️ Mustard seeds
✔️ Coriander seeds
✔️ Fenugreek seeds
✔️ Fennel seeds
✔️ Cumin seeds
✔️ Dried chilli
✔️ Turmeric

❌ No seed oils
❌ No table salt
❌ No irradiated spices
❌ No unnecessary additives

The result? A deliciously authentic South African flavour packed with wholesome ingredients and healthy fats that complement a real food lifestyle.

🌟 JUNE SPECIAL 🌟

For the rest of June, we'll be giving away a FREE jar of The Health Nut Atchar with every order over R1800!

Trust us... once you've tasted it, ordinary atchar will never be the same again. 😋

Feeling tired, headachy, dizzy or crampy? 🤔

Most people assume they need to drink more water...

But what if the problem isn't a lack of water?

What if it's a lack of minerals?

Your body relies on electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium to regulate hydration, support muscle function, maintain energy levels and keep your nervous system functioning optimally.

Without enough minerals, you can drink litres of water and still feel tired, sluggish and dehydrated.

This is one of the reasons I love adding a small amount of Celtic Salt to my drinking water each day. 💧

Unlike highly refined table salt, Celtic Salt contains naturally occurring trace minerals that help support hydration and electrolyte balance.

It's a simple habit, but one that can make a big difference—especially if you're exercising regularly, sweating a lot, following a low-carb diet, spending time in the sun, or simply feeling run down.

Sometimes the answer isn't more water...

It's better hydration. 💛
