Since embarking on her personal journey she has lost 14 kilograms and has inspired about 20 people to join her on this crusade to better health. Cape Magazine caught up with Angela when she was in Cairns attending Certificate III in Microbusiness Operations training with the Cape York Leaders Program.

Q Where are you from? A I was born in Cairns. My mother is from Badu Island in the

Torres Straits and my father is from Western Australia. I live in Weipa and have been there for 11 years. I work for the Napranum community.

Q What are you doing to improve your health and wellbeing? A We have all changed our eating habits we are onto herbal

tea and coffee we have found a way to get a boost of energy which allows us to lose weight by increasing the level of exercise that we do. Our herbal tea and coffee is called Ganoderma Lucidum, the English version for reishi mushroom. It is a Chinese herbal medicine which detoxes, builds energy levels and nourishes the health system.

Q What do you like most about what you are doing? A That Im encouraging others. Theyre inspired to go on the

journey with me our health has improved, our wellbeing has improved our oldest participant is 57 years old!

Q What does your exercise regime include? A Zumba and walking, five days a week. Zumba is a two hour

session, followed by a half hour to 45 minute walk after the Zumba session, we walk about three to four kilometres. Once

we started building our energy levels and losing weight one

to two kilograms a week changing our eating habits, a lot

of detoxing and drinking plenty of water, we felt the benefits.

Q What inspired you to start on this journey to better health?

A For me, I was a chronic diabetic and I had been for over 27 years. I have a bad history of diabetes in my family and numerous family members have passed on before they turned 47. The youngest was around 21 years old and suffered an irreversible

stroke. I had a vision that I was going to become the same. I have two grandchildren and my youngest son is turning 16. I wanted to get on top of my wellbeing to be here for them. [Before] I couldnt walk, I couldnt walk up stairs, I was a walking zombie by 2 or 3pm and I realised pretty soon I would

be on dialysis. I couldnt lift my granddaughter, I couldnt get

off the ground, I couldnt enjoy time with my grandchildren

and avoided being around them.

Q Have you got any tips for others?

A The biggest tip is if you dont detox properly, you are unable to lose weight and excess fluid in your body. Always believe in yourself. I set goals in my leadership training, and created a development plan I knew before I could excel in my role in my community

and in my personal life, I needed to overcome the barriers with my health that stopped me from doing things, to fulfill

my training. The CYI model inspired me and helped me sort out where I want to be.
