About Us

Our story

Hi, we’re Louw and Ilse — a Cape Town family passionate about natural health and wellness. A few years ago, while both navigating our own chronic health challenges, we started questioning some of the things most people have come to accept as “normal”: high stress, constant exhaustion, pain, poor sleep, and a growing dependence on medication. We started wondering: what if "normal" isn’t necessarily healthy?  

We believe the body is an incredible machine, able to heal itself given the right conditions. So what if we could reset our bodies? Changing what we ate, drank and how we support our bodies through supplements and other natural remedies was a game changer.

We started seeing small but significant changes. For Louw, it meant weaning completely off chronic medication for rheumatoid arthritis, which he'd been on for almost 15 years. For Ilse it meant slow relief from chronic wrist pain that kept her from doing the most basic things like pouring water from a kettle or opening a jar.

Why Reset Generation

Then we became parents and suddenly, health wasn't just about our lives. It was about the example we were setting for our children and setting their bodies up for success in a pretty unhealthy world.

The habits we build today become the foundations our children grow up with. The way we think about food, rest, movement, stress and wellbeing doesn't just shape us—it can shape the generations that come after us.

That's where the idea of Reset Generation really began.

We realised that creating a healthier life isn't always about one big decision. More often, it's about a hundred little ones.

Going for the walk.
Putting the phone down.
Getting to bed a little earlier.
Choosing what's going into your body.
Finding better ways to handle stress.

That's what we mean by a reset.

Not perfection. Not another extreme health trend. Not a promise of overnight transformation. Just a willingness to look at what's no longer serving your health and wellness — and choose differently.

So, what is GenR?

GenR isn't an age group. It's a mindset. You don’t have to be a certain age to make a change or even start again. You just have to start somewhere. 

We're here for the person who wants to sleep better.
The parent who wants more energy.
The person who's tired of feeling constantly stressed.
The one who's curious about natural wellness but doesn't know where to begin.
And the person who's simply decided:

“I want to look after myself better.”

Wherever you are in your journey, there's room for you here.
