About Us
Hi, I’m Donovan – a 52-year-old husband, father, voluntary pastor, and businessman from Johannesburg. Between 2020 and 2023, I battled high anxiety, chronic insomnia, ulcers, hypertension, gastrointestinal reflux, and more. I weighed over 100 kg (and I am a short guy). I was dependent on meds for my stomach. I suffered from depression, and anxiety, and honestly felt like I was going to die way sooner than I should
Through faith, wisdom, improved nutrition, prayer, exercise, and better habits – everything changed. My weight dropped to 80 kg (I’m 85 kg again in November 2025 and steadily heading back down), the ulcers and reflux gradually went away (with an occasional flare up), my sleep improved (still a work in progress) , and I’m completely off all chronic medication.
My family and I have walked this road, and **Healthy Herbie** was born to provide supplements and advice that can support you in your journey. We are all unique, so what worked for me, may not work for your specific situation. I dont want to make false promises. But there are fundamentals that can work for the vast majority of people and nutrition is a very important part of that.
