About Igennus Healthcare Nutrition

"Inspired by what I had learned about nutrition in helping a relative to avoid lifelong medication, I founded Igennus with an old university friend. Coming from a science background, I have always been fascinated by innovation, and in the early 2000s, nutrition science was in its infancy - as were the quality of formulations. The opportunity to translate cutting edge research into innovative, bioavailable supplements, and share valuable information with those seeking to protect their health, has continued to fuel my interest in nutrition. I'm delighted both of my daughters and my wife are a core part of the company, and in our small team we've managed to maintain a family-like feel across the business. We've been fortunate to attract a strong team of likeminded individuals who share our values and bring expertise and inspiration, enabling us to remain strongly science led. We only develop products we truly believe in and use ourselves."

Dr Jav Nazemi
BSc MSc PhD

Co-CEO & Founder

"I feel fortunate to work in an industry that combines two of my favourite subjects – food and health – alongside family. I've learned first-hand the importance of good nutrition, and successfully used various protocols to overcome hormonal and digestive issues. More recently it's been a new challenge to support my young daughter's nutrition as she explores different foods.

Nothing makes me happier than reading reviews about how our supplements have made a real difference to people's health. Nutrition is an ever-changing subject, I'm endlessly fascinated with new research findings, and always keen to discover new ways we can help people and share our knowledge with others." 

Mina Nazemi
LLB (Hons) MSc

Co-CEO

"I love working in a business that supports achieving optimum health and vitality, something that almost everyone aspires to. The daily testimonials and reviews we receive attest to the remarkable change the right supplement protocol, alongside some lifestyle shifts, can have on a person’s quality of life.  As an active person, I’ve always been interested in ways to support my training and recovery. Sailing, rowing, the gym and generally being active can take its toll; for me, in particular, my energy levels suffer and I take several supplements to help combat this." 

Roxana Nazemi

Production Manager

"My interest in health arose from looking for natural ways to heal my daughters from cuts and bruises or boost their immune system when unwell. From plant oils and herbs to homemade healing creams, I was always mindful of the effects of what goes into and onto the body. Likewise with food, I always cooked from scratch for my family, and took pleasure in creating meals from a variety of cuisines – often a collaborative family experience! We later learned about the power of nutrition for managing specific health concerns, instead of reliance on chronic medication. I couldn't have imagined back then that I'd be working alongside my grown up daughters, but it's a very natural fit. We're proud to be able to share what worked for our family, hoping we can make a positive difference to others."

"As a Registered Nutritionist with a passion for good food and healthy eating, my ethos focuses on looking more in-depth at the beauty of our food and the power nutrients play in the maintenance of our health. As foods can harm or heal, it is essential to make the right choices. 

 Sharing my knowledge with clients (and anyone else who is happy to listen) allows them to take steps to better health, and it is deeply rewarding to hear first-hand how the power of nutrition can change a person's life.In my spare time (and if I'm not traveling the world) you'll find me in my garden because there is nothing more satisfying than cooking delicious recipes using my home-grown produce! With minimal carbon footprint and 100% organic, growing my own fruit and vegetables is the easiest way to have control over the journey my food has to take before it reaches the plate."

Dr Nina Bailey
BSc (Hons) MSc PhD

Head of Nutrition

"While training in Western medicine as a medical doctor, I became interested in natural and 'alternative' remedies, and have since preferred them for myself and my family. After I experienced first-hand the power of 'food as medicine' in healing some of my own health issues, I followed my passion and trained as a nutritionist. I am proud to work for a company that produces top quality supplements, that I can recommend without reserve and use myself. I'm a firm believer in the power of good nutrition, carefully chosen supplements and a healthy lifestyle being key to preventing and managing health concerns."

Dr Danielle Crida

MBChB, Dip Nutr.

Nutrition Consultant

"Despite a lifelong passion for food, it was my personal health journey that first taught me the profound difference a personalised diet and supplement regime, in conjunction with lifestyle changes, can make for an individual. I decided to retrain as a nutritionist, studying part-time at CNELM. Combined with my passion for helping people, I couldn't be happier being able to offer people the tools to improve their own health."

Lara Schneider
BSc (Hons) PGDip

Nutritionist

"It might sound like a cliché, but the truth is that I started caring about health and nutrition once I gave birth to my first daughter. As a full time mum, it was important to me to set the right foundations for healthy habits and a happy life, by cooking our meals every day and involving her as much as possible in the process. It is a privilege to be part of a team that focuses on helping others, by developing the best possible supplements."

Katarina Wolter
BSc (Hons) MSc

Head of Sales Operations

"I love my work here at Igennus because every day is different and brings new challenges. As a small family business, there are great projects to get involved with and individually, we are able to wear many hats. I became aware of health and nutrition whilst working as a flight attendant in the Middle East, and a chance meeting on a cruise ship with a personal trainer and an acupuncturist sparked my ever-growing passion. I am extremely grateful to be working as a Nutritional Therapist alongside my peers, empowering others to become more aware of their own nutritional health and wellbeing. In my spare time I like to run, travel and spend time with my family and friends."

Melanie Rust 

DipION

Registered Nutritional Therapist

"I was always interested in nutrition, but never as passionately as I was until I experienced the difference it can make, both in my own health, and now in the health of customers I support on a daily basis. My firsthand experience helps me to better understand the frustrations of clients and I feel fortunate that I am the one that provides advice to put them on the right track to achieving their health goals, something I once feared was out of reach for me."

Maxine Sheils
BSc (Hons) DipCNM

Nutritional Therapist

"I enjoy being a part of a company that promotes good health and vitality. As a mum of three, I pay attention to our diet and supplements that we all need to take to power us through our busy days. You feel better not only when you’re eating tasty food, but also when you know that you add some nutritional value to it. In my family we all need ingredients that provide energy and important omega-3 fats for our mind-body balance. That’s why we use our favourite Vegepa, from a trusted source that I know from the inside. I believe we all at Igennus, no matter the role, care here about people's health and wellbeing."

Aneta Dziopa
BSc (Hons) MSc

Marketplace Manager

"Having previously worked in-house at Igennus, I still enjoy contributing educational articles and videos, alongside my private nutritional therapy practice in Mayfair. What drives me is helping people to feel good about themselves, whether it's overcoming a skin condition, restoring digestion or reaching and maintaining an ideal body weight. I offer online diet plans with healthy recipes, vitamin supplements, nutrition facts and simple healthy meal ideas for a happy body and clear skin."

Kyla Newcombe
DipION, BSc, MSc

Nutritional Therapist

"Before re-training as a chartered accountant, I worked in the chemical industry and have always retained an interest in all things scientific. So when an opportunity to work with a team of nutritionists came up, I jumped at it. Their passion for all things nutrition and healthy living has rubbed off on me and I take many Igennus supplements.As my role as Finance Manager at Igennus is quite sedentary, it is important to keep active in body as well as mind. I enjoy Tai Chi, swimming and walking the dog."
