About Anke
Anke was trained as a Biochemist and teacher, but after her third child, Friso, was born in 1985 with a severe brain injury, she developed many skills to help him reach his optimum potential. Sadly he died in 1993, but Anke decided to stay on the path she was now on and use the skills she had learned to help other children and adults.
From the brain to the gut
At the end of the 20th century chronic diseases were on the rise. In children there was a dramatic increase in Autism Spectrum Disorders, A(D)HD, Asthma and Allergies. In adults Cardio-vascular problems, Auto-immune diseases, Cancer and Neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons were on the rise as well. What was happening to cause this?
Hippocrates already stated in 400 BC: "All disease begins in the gut" and research has now confirmed that the common denominator between all these chronic diseases was indeed the gut. Yes, poor gut health can lead to many health conditions, but recently it was discovered that many neuro-developmental conditions such as Autism and Autism Spectrum disorders, as well as learning and behaviour issues, depression and anxiety are often also linked to poor gut health through the gut-brain connection. The most successful way of treating any condition is by identifying and treating the cause, so Anke decided to specialise in optimising and restoring gut health.
Anke became a Naturopath, Herbalist, Homoeopath, Bio-medical practitioner, Nutrition Medicine Practitioner, Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Professional Kinesiologist with 29 years experience, a fully certified teacher and professional international trainer. She holds a Masters Degree in Health Sciences: Nutrition Medicine and a Masters Degree in Science: Biochemistry.
She developed a successful RAPID gut repair programme, which she uses to restore gut health in her clinic and you can use it to restore your gut health at home. Recently Anke was a co-author of the international best seller: "Elevate your Health". Her chapter was titled: "Gut Revelations" and you can find out how to do the RAPID gut repair programme in there. You can purchase this book from most bookshops or you can purchase the eBook version and the hard copy online by clicking on the following
