Janella Purcell is on a mission! A mission to educate people that food can be delicious and healthy.

In her practice in Sydney, Janella works with people with various health issues, from cancer to eating disorders. Her combination of naturopathy, nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine and kinesiology provides a holistic approach to health and diet.

In an effort to take her beliefs to a larger audience, Janella has developed her career in TV. Her latest role, which she is extremely excited about, is presenting the Master Class on the 2010 Biggest Loser series.

Janella started her TV career in 2003 when she was appointed the Today Show’s Food Editor and Naturopath/Nutritionist on Mornings with Kerri-Anne. Her first book, Janella Purcell’s Elixir was published by Allen & Unwin in April 2004 and has been a great success. In 2005 it was nominated by the World Food Media Awards in the Best Food and Nutrition category. Her second book, Eating For The Seasons will be available in 2010.
 
In 2005 Janella Purcell’s Get A Life, a six-part series was produced by Foxtel’s How To Channel. It covers topics such as fertility, ageing, reducing the toxic load in our homes, weight loss and de-toxing. It continues to be shown both in Australia and overseas.

Janella then starred alongside Gary Mehigan in Series 1 of Good Chef Bad Chef  in 2007, which has since been sold to over 100 countries worldwide and aired in Australia on the Seven Network and then on the Lifestyle Channel. A follow up series was produced in 2009 with a new location and feel to the show.

In 2009 Janella took on the presenting role for the ‘Food As Medicine’ segment on Channel 9’s What’s Good For You. She has regular radio spots, writes for health magazines and conducts Seasonal Cooking Classes. And there’s lots more in-store for this passionate foodie!
