Dr Vanessa Emslie, PhD

Vanessa Emslie, Functional Sports Nutritionist Ironman Triathlete Biohacker

I am a health advocate, biohacker, runner, pilates instructor, Ironman triathlete, chef and NLP therapist. At home, I'm a mum, wife and fur-parent. I love to read, am the perpetual student and beach or snowboarding holidays are my favourites! 

After 17 years in corporate life, I opened WELLBYNESS in 2015. I'm passionate about people, be it moms, children, families and athletes of all ages, to achieve their personal nutritional, wellness and fitness goals. 

My Philosophy

The food we eat and the lifestyle choices we make affect every cell in our body and can impact us in one of two ways: to nourish and heal, or, to contribute to illness and poor health.

I aim to provide real, substantiated scientific 👩🏼‍🔬 advice so you can choose the best foods and lifestyle choices YOU need to optimise YOUR health. I also consider how my suggestions support living in today’s fast-paced world; where life is busy, takeout is easy, it's supper-on-the-run with chocolate cravings, or a glass of wine is often a reality! 

I believe that FUN and HEALTH can work together.
