About Us

Our founder, Sandy Sher, started Live 2 Be Well after 10 years of working in the Rehabilitation and Workcover industry, where she realised that many injuries and illnesses could be prevented.

As an Exercise Physiologist, Sandy believes that through the right lifestyle choices and better work practices, we can take a proactive approach to injury management and health. Live 2 be Well was set up to facilitate preventative lifestyle and work practices to prevent injury and illnesses through the use of educated decisions and preventative measures.

'I often hear remarks from people around me about the financial cost, time expenditure and effort taken to be healthy, yet the Australian Health Care System spends billions of dollars every year, on treating sickness and injury according the Australian Institute  Health of Health and Welfare (http://www.aihw.gov.au/publications/index.cfm/title/10659 ). People tend to wait until they are unwell before they take action to improve their health. Unfortunately instead of treating the causes of our illnesses and conditions through better lifestyle choices and work practices, people treat their symptoms. I feel the costs of treating and recovering from injury and illness far outweighs the costs of prevention and staying healthy. I often wonder what sort of path a person with terminal illness or a chronic condition would take if they had a second chance knowing what may lie ahead. I think the most important question we need to ask ourselves is: what are we waiting for?' - Sandy Sher

Sandy's interest in holistic lifestyle management began when she was diagnosed with an arthritic condition 15 years ago called Ankylosing Spondylitis, an auto-immune disease.  Sandy has always been passionate about fitness and hence explored different avenues to keep her in peak form in spite of her illness.

In addition to medical treatment, Sandy started to learn about the use of food as self medication. With a combination of Western Medicine to keep her in remission, Sandy also ensures optimum health by eating predominantly organic produce and cutting out all sugar, grains and processed food from her diet. Sandy also undergoes regular detoxification, which together with her diet and regular exercise has ensured that she does not have to take any additional medications for her condition. Sandy continues to strive to work towards being medication free through careful dietary and lifestyle choices.
