Olga’s daughter, Amber, overcame chronic fatigue syndrome

Carol & Jake

Carol and her son Jake both experienced atrial fibrillation

Fifty-four-year old Carol B and her family live at Airlie Beach, on the Whitsunday coast in north Queensland. It's an ideal environment for someone as keen on healthy living as Carol. Carol has never smoked, she always been a healthy weight and she’s stays active, but the last couple of years have presented a few challenges for her, as well as for her son Jake.

Terry

Terry lost 80 kilos with the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet

Terry gained 95 kilos after the birth of his first son. At his heaviest, he weighed 185.5 kilos. “I let old habits, bad food and no exercise get in the way of my life.”
Like most people, Terry tried a lot of diets, but he never found anything that he could stick with. Find out how he turned his life around and shed the excess weight, with help from the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet.
