Profile:
Lee Holmes is a mum on a mission. Supercharged and ready for action. Changing the way we eat, one buckwheat pancake at a time! Lee’s goal is to alter the perception that cooking fresh, wholesome, nutrient-rich meals are difficult, complicated and often time consuming. Born in the UK, Lee has been based in Sydney for the past 15 years. Rejecting her former qualifications in food and nutrition, she worked for 15 years in high-level positions in the music and television industries but her career came to a screeching halt after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2006. Lee embarked on a journey of self-discovery and her love of food and cooking led her back to her roots where she became a rigorous food and health researcher. Lee travelled the world discovering foods which could be used as medicine to heal the body at a cellular level. After discovering many nutrient-rich foods and changing her diet, Lee successfully recovered and is now fighting fit. Her mind alive with ideas for new recipes, Lee wanted to share her creations and www.superchargedfood.com was born. Lee is also a published lifestyle and health writer with articles featured in magazines such as Grazia, Studio Bambini, Natural Health and Beauty Magazine, Post Script and Shop Til You Drop. She is the resident food and wholefoods expert for Wellness Warriors. Lee is also a columnist with Wellbeing Magazine and her column “Quick Kitchen” appears in each issue. Her recipe book Supercharged Food will be in the shops in 2011. Lee’s health website www.superchargedfood.com has featured in Vogue Magazine, Shop til You Drop, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and Take 5 and also features in the AIMA Australasian Integrative Medicine Association journal which targets all integrative medicine doctors nationally.
