Anne Anyia, Registered Nutritionist & Certified Health Coach
Who is Anne Anyia?
Anne Anyia is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Nutritionist, and Certified Health Coach, and the Founder of Awesco Nutrition. She specialises in weight loss and gut health, helping clients transform their weight, health, and lifestyle through personalised nutrition, coaching, gut health support, and fitness.
What inspired you to start Awesco Nutrition?
My passion for health and nutrition began in childhood. Growing up, my mum often recalls how I was always encouraging family members to eat well and take their supplements—long before I ever considered it a career. Although I initially pursued a professional path in IT and spent several years in the industry, my interest in health never waned. Over time, I felt increasingly drawn to work that aligned more closely with my values and desire to help others.
Following this calling, I returned to education to study Nutritional Therapy, a decision that proved transformational. It enabled me to combine science-led nutrition with a holistic approach to wellbeing. This journey ultimately led to the creation of Awesco Nutrition, through which I now support clients in improving their weight, gut health, and overall lifestyle through personalised nutrition, coaching, and fitness-focused strategies.
How do you help clients transform their health through nutrition?
I help clients transform their health through personalised nutrition. I teach them what to eat, how to eat, and when to eat for optimal health, empowering them to improve weight, gut health, energy, and overall well-being through sustainable lifestyle changes.
What makes your approach to nutrition different from others?
My approach is different because I combine personalised nutrition, gut health, fitness, and mindset, teaching clients what, how, and when to eat so they can achieve lasting, sustainable health and lifestyle transformation.
Who are your ideal clients and what challenges do they usually face?
My ideal clients are those struggling with weight, gut health, or low energy, and I help them overcome these challenges through personalised nutrition, gut health strategies, and sustainable lifestyle habits.
Can you share a success story from one of your clients?
This is a success story from one of my clients:
“Working with Anne has been such a pleasure. She genuinely cares about her clients and really wants to see them succeed. I’ve learned so much about nutrition, and my whole mindset around food has shifted. I now prioritise eating foods that nourish my body. Anne is supportive, knowledgeable, and makes the whole process feel doable. I highly recommend her!”
What are the most common nutrition mistakes people make?
One of the biggest nutrition mistakes people make is focusing on restriction rather than nourishment. Skipping meals, following quick-fix diets, or cutting out food groups can negatively impact metabolism, gut health, and energy levels. I help clients move away from extremes by teaching them what to eat, how to eat, and when to eat in a way that supports long-term health.
How do you personalise your nutrition plans for each client?
I personalise every nutrition plan by taking the time to understand each client’s health history, lifestyle, goals, and daily routines. Rather than using generic meal plans, I tailor guidance around factors such as gut health, metabolism, energy levels, and activity. This ensures nutrition fits seamlessly into their life and supports sustainable, long-term results.
What key habits do you recommend for lasting health and energy?
The key habits I recommend for lasting health and energy are consistency and proper nourishment. Eating regular, balanced meals, supporting gut health, staying hydrated, prioritising sleep, and moving the body regularly all play a vital role. When these habits are in place, energy stabilizes, and health improvements become sustainable.
How do mindset and lifestyle influence your nutrition philosophy?
Mindset and lifestyle play a crucial role in how we eat and how consistent we are with our nutrition. Stress, sleep, routines, and our relationship with food all influence results, which is why I address these alongside nutrition. When mindset and lifestyle are aligned, healthy choices become sustainable rather than forced.
What can clients expect when they start working with you?
Clients can expect a personalised, supportive journey that begins with a comprehensive assessment of their health, lifestyle, and goals. I guide them on what to eat, how to eat, and when to eat, while addressing gut health, mindset, and daily habits. The focus is always on sustainable change, improved energy, and long-term health.
What’s your best advice for anyone ready to take control of their health today?
My best advice for anyone ready to take control of their health is to start with small, consistent steps. Focus on what, how, and when you eat, prioritise nourishing foods, and build daily habits that support gut health, energy, and wellbeing. Sustainable change comes from combining nutrition with lifestyle, not perfection.
