hi there!

I AM IZETTE FAUL

I WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE IN A REALISTIC AND PRACTICAL WAY!

about me

I understand that food is one of the joys of life; but unfortunately many people cannot enjoy this experience, because of eating disorders or other related lifestyle problems. I would like to support you on your journey to a healthy lifestyle in a realistic and practical way!

I graduated as a Dietitian at NWU and completed my community service in 2005, whereafter I obtained my Master’s degree in Dietetics. My professional career as dietitian started at the Department of Health, where I was soon promoted to Assistant Director for Nutrition in the NW province.

Since I always had the desire to run my own business, I successfully built my own Dietetic Private Practice. While running my practice, I started an online business in Wellness and Lifestyle under the Afrikaans brand “La Ferm” and English brand “ShakeItOff” in partnership with a Biokineticist. 

We have built this company into a successful online business with a combined following of 9573 people. I also had the opportunity to become involved in the corporate world of Mining and Industry: designing, presenting, implementing and evaluating Corporate wellness and Nutritional programs in various companies.

I am a CDE (Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology) trained Dietitian and was for a period of 10 years part of the CDE Lichtenburg where I consulted and supported patients.

Besides my knowledge and experience in Dietetics, I keep myself up to date with evidence-based nutrition and wellness research, and continuous professional development. 

This enables me to provide my clients with accurate information and appropriate treatment.

I also make use of advanced technology in my practice:

  • InBody 120: Body composition analysis – I focus on Body Composition and not only weight (read more).
  • I use an international nutrition software programme for dietary analysis, meal planning, and recipe and menu management, allowing me to make accurate, relevant, and feasible food choices for my clients.
  • All my clients have free access to the LIBRO application. It will help you keep track of your health and lifestyle goals on your mobile phone. You can record your daily food intake and exercise, and can also access a variety of my recipes on the App. All information logged in LIBRO can be imported back to me for analysis and review. No more manual logging or keeping food diaries necessary!

I BELIEVE THAT EVERY PERSON IS UNIQUE, AND CONSEQUENTLY APPLY AN INDIVIDUALIZED AND HOLISTIC APPROACH IN ORDER TO PROVIDE MY CLIENTS WITH TAILOR-MADE MEAL PLANS.

Body composition assessment

InBody Test analysis of body composition balance

Even if two people have the same height and weight, it doesn’t mean that they have the same fat and muscle mass.  With body composition, we can discover more about our body than with only a BMI- assessment.

The InBody Test provides a comprehensive view of your body composition balance. 

This method is effective and efficient when it comes to measuring body water, proteins, minerals and body fat, which are the components of the human body that closely relate to the status of our health. It is more than numbers on the scale: Body composition evaluation can provide an accurate reflection of your overall health and wellness. Bodyweight alone does not account for how much fat a person is carrying inside. Some fat is visible in the mirror (subcutaneous fat), but other fat is deeper and surrounds the organs. This deeper and harder-to-identify fat can significantly impact the body’s functioning. Overall, high body fat levels cause health risks for certain diseases. Body fat also impacts on hormone function, insulin levels, and many other body systems.

If you want a comprehensive assessment of your health and wellness, body composition analysis is the best option. A carefully designed plan to address body composition can significantly alter a patient’s health for the better. The first step in treatment is identification. The InBody Test is a high-tech solution for regular assessment of body composition and identification of body fat changes.

When it comes to diets and diet trends, the choices and claims can be confusing. With so many ways to lose weight, it’s hard to decipher which methods are healthy and can work sustainably.

Sports Nutrition

Science based supplement education / Nutrition plan for training and competitions.

Sports nutrition plays a key role in optimising the beneficial effects of physical activity, whether you are a bodybuilder, a professional athlete in training, or just exercising to improve your mental and physical health. 

Making informed decisions regarding your nutrition and hydration can result in improved performance, injury prevention and quicker recovery. However, it is difficult to know where to start with so much conflicting information readily available. That is where the help of a professional can aid your decisions, and ultimately improve your performance in a safe and scientific way.

Gut Health

Irritable bowel syndrome/ Constipation /Diverticulitis

Bloating, excessive gas, reflux, heartburn, diarrhoea and constipation are common symptoms of an unhealthy gut, and your diet plays a key role in managing these symptoms. 

I have a special interest in gut health and irritable bowel syndrome and can help you to establish which foods are triggering symptoms.

A tailored meal plan that is balanced and nutritionally complete can help reduce the symptoms mentioned above, improve your quality of life, and start your journey to better gastro-intestinal health. 

It is scientifically proved that your gut and your brain are connected – what happens in the one can affect the other. The neurotransmitter Serotonin is produced in the brain and stimulates feelings of happiness in your mood.  A large proportion of your available Serotonin, however, is produced in your gut. Your microbiome, which is made up of probiotics and prebiotics, must contain the maximum amount of “good bacteria” to function properly – ensuring a positive interaction between brain and gut, which will lead to a healthy lifestyle, both physical, psychological and emotional.

Liewe Izette. Baie dankie vir al jou hulp, raad, bystand, en dat jy altyd oulike praktiese raad het. Jy is altyd passievol oor jou werk. Ek kan hoor jy het jare se goeie kennis en wil net die beste hê vir jou kliente. Dankie jy my op die regte pad gesit het van gesond leef, nie ‘n dieet nie maar ‘n leefstyl. Nooit gedink ek sal dit kan doen nie.

9 Januarie 2023 het ek ñ keuse gemaak wat besig is om my lewe te verander. Dit was ñ tuimeltrein van emosies. Ek was kwaad, ongelukkig, depressief en baie teleurgesteld in myself. Ek het toegelaat dat obesiteit die beste van my kry. Want kos was my toevlug, my onstnapping, my trooster. Ek het baie moedeloos in Izette Faul se praktyk gesit. Sy was so ontvanklik vir my groot hartseer, ek het myself absoluut verkwalik vir hierdie groot gemors, ek kon myself nie in die spieël aanskou nie, ek was so vet, so lelik vir myself. Geen klere het my meer gepas nie. Dit was die grootste laagtepunt wat ek al ooit beleef het. Izette het my onmiddelik gerus gestel dat dit o.k is om so te voel. Dat dit o.k is om te worstel. Sy het wel my toegegooi met redes hoekom hierdie reis absoluut die moeite werd gaan wees. Sy het my my "why" laat ontdek. Wat is my hoekom. Hoekom wil ek hierdie doen. Ek besef toe die lys van redes is eindeloos. Daar is GEEN rede hoekom ek hierdie NIE wil doen nie. Met Izette Faul se absolute vernuwende tegnieke en metodes om gewigsverlies lekker en maklik te maak, het ek ingekoop. My lieflike eetplan, spesiaal na my voorkeure, het my so opgewonde gemaak. Haar vindingryke respete is ongelooflik. Ek kan steeds elke Saterdag ñ stukkie steak en ñ braaibroodjie geniet 😁 Vandag, 60 dae en 180 liter water later, spog ek met ñ volle ronde 10kg ligter. Ek voel wonderlik, ek lyk fantasties (my ma sê so 😉) en ek is so ongelooflik trots op myself! Izette Faul, die beste dieetkundige in die land, met die samewerking van LaFerm produkte, DANKIE. Dankie vir jou geloof in my. Dankie vir elke dag se motiverende en vasbyt boodskappe. Dankie dat jy die pad saam met my stap. Ek voel veilig in jou hande. Kan nie wag vir die volgende 10kg nie😉 Maar die belangrikste, Soli Deo Gloria, aan God al die eer. Ek staan dankbaar voor U. Hou my dop, hierdie is net die begin 💪🏻 Vir jóú wat ook so voel, jy KAN dit doen!!

‘n Skaal nie juis baie van ons se grootste vriend nie. Maar hierdie "outjie" vertel jou die waarheid. Skelm vetjies wat sigbaar en onsigbaar wegkruip in jou lyf. Spiere wat moedeloos raak omdat jy vergeet van hul bestaan Ek het dit gewaag om gister op hom te klim. Nogal n "eyeopener" Besoek gerus Izette Faul en gee om vir jou gesondheid!!

Dear Izette, Myself and Jaco live pressured corporate lifestyles and we do not always have the time to make food or good choices for that matter when it comes to our eating habits. Since Jaco’s scare in the beginning of 2020 we found an amazing doctor ( Christelle Olivier ) that made a massive impact in his life by guiding him and making him aware of his lifestyle. We were forced to look at better choices in our eating habits due to his now chronic condition. You have always been apart of our lives but never had we considered using your eating plans and decided there and then to start with your ShakeItOff Box. Although not wanting to loose weight we wanted to change our habits and way of thinking about “healthy eating” and was amazed by your DELICIOUS, EASY and FANTASTIC recipes and advice. Even with Jaco’s nut allergy you where able to satisfy us both in the preparation and execution of the recipies. We now constantly go back to your plan and still make some of the recipies. We are also now more comfortable with the choices and labels of products through your advise and pay attention to that. We are still learning and trying, but always know we have you a call away. Thank You
Jaco
Jaco@jacoo
Izette! You know me well and you have known me for many years. I am privileged to call you a friend and mentor in so many ways. And want to give you this feedback without prejudice. The day Doctor Christelle Olivier figured out what is happening in my body and with my cholesterol, you where the first person I called. You immediately told me to look at this type of food and that type of food and went into professional mode immediately. I decided then to do your Winter Intermittent fasting plan and was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! I started with a LIPID Profile of : Total Cholesterol : 7.3 LDL: 5.4mmol/L Triglyceride: 1.7 After the intervention of Doctor Olivier and yourself my current stats are: Total Cholesterol : 4.4 LDL: 2.9mmol/L Triglyceride: 1.0 I do attribute these results too Dr Olivier’s intervention, but also to your guidance and custom dietary plans that helped me reach this result. Thank You so MUCH!!

Izette Faul provides a very professional, supportive and encouraging service. Her individualised menu plan with realistic goals is easy to follow. The meals are varied, simple to prepare and taste delicious. Regular appointments and information sheets help maintain momentum. My own journey during the last 4 months has been very positive. My cholesterol level has improved significantly, I have lost 11 kilograms of excess weight and I feel much more energetic. I highly recommend her practice.
