Nina Gelbke also known as Naturally Nina is an absolute cracker of a human, she is vibrant, energetic and oozing with charisma. She was originally born in Switzerland, but her father made the executive decision to ship the family off to a sunnier destination in Western Australia.

She developed her passion for nutrition after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 9 and participating in competitive sports like swimming. But this passion took a turn after the constant pressure to perfect her blood sugar levels, time her insulin correctly and count her carbs led to a long battle with an eating disorder.

In today’s ep she held nothing back. She was raw, vulnerable and honest about her journey through life from diagnosis to self-acceptance to becoming an Accredited Nutritionist to support and empower others.

We are honestly just in awe and so incredibly thankful to have her join us on the podcast. If you want to find out more about Nina or are interested in working with her you can find out more Here.
