Join us for a BAWE Lunch with members Issy Warrack and Dr Estrelita Van Rensburg this March. More information coming soon.

Issy Warrack, a commercial property surveyor by profession and an entrepreneur at heart, always enjoyed an active and varied lifestyle. Before, during and after her property career she developed a couple of successful business ventures within Scotland, the UK and Europe, including Norway and Greece. Juggling an active career, motherhood and family life, was just run-of-the-mill for her, never giving her health a second thought. It came as a surprise when she developed serious heart issues, which over time were not responding to prescribed medication. Her interest in holistic medicine led her and her business partner to explore the healing properties of healthy nutrition, which was a revelation. This led to Wellness EQ, a company specialising in health and wellness. Issy has been the driving force behind the publication of two recipe books during COVID.

Estrelita van Rensburg, a qualified physician-pathologist spent the first part of her professional career as a professor in laboratory medicine/virology at the Universities of Stellenbosch and Pretoria in South Africa. After a decade and a half, she moved into the pharmaceutical industry where she held the position of Global Medical Director at an US-based large clinical research organisation. More recently her focus shifted away from treatment-based medicine into the field of nutrition and preventative medicine. She co-authored three books. The first Eat Well or Die Slowly – Your Guide to Metabolic Health was published in 2020. Estrelita lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.
