My Story

Hi there, my name is Louise Hallinan and I am the owner of the new shop in town - Deni Health Foods & Wellbeing. I officially opened on 18th March 2024 (this year).

About Louise

I previously founded the Smart Brain Health Centre in 2014 as a result of writing my first book, "Smart Brain Healthy Brain".

One year later, 'Smart Brain Healthy Brain' won Silver Medal in the 'Living Now' Book Awards (USA) Health/Wellbeing Category, making it an International Award-winning Book.

My mother, Alice, suffered with Alzheimer’s disease for many years. The personal experience has given me a deep understanding of the devastation caused by this disease. I was told by doctors at that time it was hereditary and that I may have a chance of getting it myself. Spurred on by this shock, I researched everything I could about Alzheimer’s disease to find what can be done to possibly avoid or prevent this from happening to me.

I co-wrote a research paper in 2003 about Alzheimer's Disease, a copy of which is in the Dementia Australia Library in Sydney.

I am also a fully qualified and Accredited Nutritionist and Natural Medicine Practitioner and have been working in the health industry for over 20 years.

I have been awarded “Highly Commended - Practitioner of the Year”  in the ATMS and Nature & Health Awards 2016, as recognition of my work by the Natural Health Industry.

IN THE MEDIA

I have done many Radio Interviews all around Australia and even overseas on Canada Radio, CKOM in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I was on Channel 9 News on a Sunday night in a story called "Brain Food", which was wonderful exposure for my book.

I have been a Presenter at the Mind Body Spirit Festival for 3 years and have spoken at many Libraries and Community Centres around Sydney.  I have been a regular contributor for various online magazines as well.

I was also featured in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in the article, "Taking a natural approach to battling memory loss".
