About The Light Human
Welcome to The Light Human
I’m Annelie - I am an ex–stuntwoman turned naturopath, medical herbalist, and functional medicine practitioner. After a head-on collision with a fire engine left me broken and burned, my healing journey led me deep into the worlds of medical herbalism, metabolic health, and circadian biology.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve raised two girls, partly in the jungles and beaches of Costa Rica, co-founded a collagen and intermittent fasting company, written a couple of books on raising healthy kids, presented a natural medicine show for Channel 4, and run an online telemedicine clinic guiding hundreds of clients through everything from hormone chaos to chronic fatigue. Oh, and stayed married!
I champion living in alignment with nature, eating seasonally, syncing with natural light, being barefoot and minimising screen time. These “low-hanging fruit” are, in my experience, the most powerful ways to thrive in a chaotic world.
