Meet Janine Barnett
From burnout and chronic illness to helping others find their own roadmap to recovery.
I don't believe healing comes from one-size-fits-all solutions.
After spending years searching for answers to my own health challenges, I discovered that real progress came from understanding my body, asking better questions, and taking a personalised approach to recovery. Today, that's exactly how I help others at Glow on Health.
Whether you're navigating fatigue, gut issues, hormone changes, chronic pain, or recovering after surgery, my goal is to help you feel understood and leave with greater clarity about your next steps.
Why I do this work
In the early years of my career, I was doing everything "right."
I built a successful career in marketing and corporate leadership, worked long hours, climbed the ladder, and pushed through deadlines without slowing down.
From the outside, everything looked fine.
Behind the scenes, the stress was taking a toll.
By the end of 2006, I was completely burnt out, physically, emotionally and mentally. I knew something had to change, so I walked away from corporate life.
But my body didn't bounce back.
When my body stopped keeping up.
What followed was years of searching for answers.
I was eventually diagnosed with:
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Chronic Fatigue
-
Hypothyroidism
-
PCOS
-
IBS
-
Insulin Resistance
-
Fatty Liver
-
Brain Fog
-
Constant Pain
-
Weight Gain
At just 5ft 1, carrying an extra 20kg made everyday life feel harder.
I barely recognised myself.
Like many people I meet today, I tried almost everything, different diets, detoxes, specialists, programmes and endless advice.
Nothing seemed to address the bigger picture.
The turning point
"I realised I wasn't going to find healing in a one-size-fits-all solution."
Instead of chasing quick fixes, I committed to understanding my body more deeply and learning what it truly needed to heal.
What I studied
That decision changed the direction of my life.
I immersed myself in education, not because I wanted another career, but because I wanted answers.
My training includes:
-
Health Coaching
-
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition
-
Bio-Individual Nutrition
-
SCENAR Therapy
Each discipline gave me another piece of the puzzle, but the biggest lesson came from living through the journey myself.
What changed
Today, I'm incredibly grateful to say that much of what once defined my life no longer does.
The fibromyalgia is gone.
The chronic fatigue, brain fog, hormone chaos and blood sugar rollercoaster that once felt impossible have dramatically changed.
I returned to running, yoga, HIIT training and living with joy again, things I once believed I'd lost forever.
More importantly, I stopped living in survival mode.
My Approach
At Glow on Health, I combine lived experience with evidence-informed wellness to help people:
-
Better understand their symptoms
-
Support recovery after illness or surgery
-
Improve energy and resilience
-
Build sustainable habits that work for their body
-
Feel confident about their next steps
I don't promise quick fixes.
I believe healing is personal, and everyone deserves a roadmap that makes sense for them.
If this sounds like you...
If you're struggling with chronic symptoms, burnout, recovery after surgery, gut issues or feeling like your body has let you down, I want you to know you're not alone.
You don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help.
Sometimes the first step is simply having someone help you make sense of where you are.
