Dr Angie Hayes has had a lifelong fascination with the human metabolism, trying to find answers to questions like

• What makes one person fat, the other skinny
• What makes one person so energetic, bright and bubbly, the other always so exhausted not leaving them any drive for any activity
• What makes one person a world class athlete, the other a couch potatoe
• Why does not the same regime of weight management work for everyone
• What drives our likes and dislikes for food, exercise and our eating habits

Dr. Angie Hayes has a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Cologne/Germany, working with the lipid and neurobiology expert Prof Dr Dr Dr Wilhelm Stoffel, where the enzyme was discovered which initiates the digestion of the dangerous trans fatty acids. Her research focused on the metabolic role and genetic regulation of human lipoproteins. She became an Associate Professor, initially at the same University, but then moved on to other parts of the world and several other fields of biomedical research, including working in the lab of Nobel Laureate Guenter Blobel at the Rockefeller University/New York City, now the major centre for obesity research in the world. She now lives in Australia and spent a number of years on the development of new diagnostic methods for chronic and acute conditions such as "gut rot", which impair the absorption of nutrients.

Angie has 20 years of research experience and numerous published papers in peer reviewed international journals and has presented her research at numerous international conferences (under her research name Antje Haase).

Angie is also a distance runner and cyclist and was a triathlete and marathon runner until she got too busy with business. She has become a master of time management so she could make enough time to pursue her interests in sport - at least at a sub-competitive level.

In the year 1999 Angie has decided to use some of her vast knowledge about the human metabolism to help people with their health, nutritional and weight problems. For many years she was urged to take this step by people she helped.

She started to participate in an US based internet based advisory service, which was extremely successful, and gained her international reputation. This service has since turned into a large Enterprise Consultancy business and ceased to exist in the same form. Recently Angie has decided to re-establish a similar service for those people who cannot come to her face to face consultations.

Angie also runs a Nutrition Consultation Practice in Darwin, which offers a unique service, based on her scientific knowledge and her personal approach.

Angie is a member of the Nutrition Society of Australia.
