Who we are

Wellnous was founded by Cambridge Graduate Kristina Crimp. Kristina studied Natural Sciences at Queens College in Cambridge before embarking on a commercial career within the medical field. 

Kristina had spent her childhood and adolescence very over-weight. After embarking on a strict weight loss program and achieving a “normal” weight, she spent the following decade struggling to eat certain foods. She was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and embarked on a relatively strict diet of consuming low calorie, low fat foods to keep her weight at bay and reduce the incidences of IBS – this didn’t really work. 

Despite her degree major in Pharmacology, Kristina became extremely interested in the holistic (full body) approach to healthcare. Kristina spent a significant amount of time researching the effects that modern day eating habits, misinformation and misconceptions have on our attitude to our eating habits, health, and our overall well being. 

It turns out that we have been fed a web of incorrect information. We've been marketed “healthy products” by large food manufactures that are actually harmful and more likely to cause weight gain and inflammation. It’s no wonder that our generation suffer the highest levels of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, inflammation, digestive irregularities, allergies and food intolerances in our history. 

Since Kristina decided to implement changes to her diet and attitude to food, she has had no IBS issues, no weight issues, feels more energised, less anxiety, sleeps better, more muscle growth and improved skin tone. 

The science and evidence from her own changes were so dramatic, she became determined to share this information, knowledge and advice with whoever was interested. It became quite clear that most of the information available was so confusing to the majority of people that Kristina wanted to create content that was simple, easy to understand and easy to follow

This is how WELLNOUS was born.
