About Us

About us

Sisterhood team of two that believes “sharing is caring” started Juice’d by G.I.Juicery.
Karyn who is a practicing nutritionist with honors in Food Science and Nutrition is always interested and constantly striving to understand various juicing methodology and healthy lifestyle. Practices Pilates few times a week, Karyn coupled it with juice cleanse diet that keeps her healthy and going every day. Before starting Juice’d, Karyn worked with an established healthcare company, constantly in touch with doctors and nurses in advising, formulating and customizing healthy diet plans for her customers and patients. Customers constantly approaches Karyn for advices on healthy lifestyle that led her to her dream of starting a place of her own to get closer to customers while sharing her passion in healthy living. Karyn goes by the motto “Health is the biggest investment that you should make in this lifetime”. Bringing her experiences, she started Juice’d with elder sister Sharon in hopes to continue touching all walks of life.
Sharon, the other part of Juice’d had always been struggling with weight problems for as long as she could remembered until her sister introduced her to juicing. Sharing from her first experience with juicing, “I was a bit sceptical when I saw that glass of green juice with every vegetables that I known of put in. Oh my! At that first taste I was proven wrong! I was signed on from then!” Supplementing juicing with jogging and spin classes, Sharon managed to keep her weight in check and for the first time in a long time is at peace with her weight. “I believed that if I can, everyone else can too with the right guidance and we at Juice’d are here to share with you all the way." Sharon and her husband loves travelling and had been to various parts of Europe and the States where juicing is sweeping through different cultures and lives, they decided to bring back what they had experienced and share it with everyone back home.
Together as sisters, with experiences and knowledge they hope to share with everyone the goodness of juicing! Let’s Juice’d!

Living on MAD

We were perusing through articles about fitness and health the other day when something interesting yet depressing caught our eyes. As Malaysian we should be proud to be awarded something or to have came out on top in a certain category but not this one. The article indicated that we are the "Fattest Country in South East Asia" (article here) and as we are famous for going the length, Malaysia is named "The Fattest Asian Country" merely six months later (article here) indicating that 55% of Malaysian are on the fatter or obese side. This is no laughing matter as we need to take it as a wake up call.

Tic-Toc! We need to stop this ticking time bomb. Why? With obesity we are running the risk of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, stroke, hypertension to name some (Source: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs311/en/). Hence we should not take these warning lightly or be proud of these achievements and continue on with our lives ignoring the danger that is lurking right around the corner. You might say it is not you, but we know someone or live near someone who is. Let's educate ourselves so we could be a wiser or a helping hand. 

It is no surprise that we received such accolades, given that Malaysian survived on what we called MAD : Malaysian Accustomed Diet.

  1. Let's look through our daily diet. Roti Canai with a glass of teh tarik at mamak for breakfast, laksa noodle for lunch and fried rice with fried chicken for dinner, not including our tea break and supper. These are just some examples of the things we mainly consumed. It is generally fast food, highly processed and fat laden food or sweet food. Being a true Malaysian we can't deny our love for fried stuff and sweet kuihs. Being a multi-racial country, the temptations are even stronger during festive seasons. We have sweet pineapple tarts for Chinese New Year, ketupat and rendang for Hari Raya and Muruku (that's our favorite) for Deepavali. These are the contributing reasons in claiming the top spot as the fattest nation in Asia.
  2. Now try walking the parks or visiting the fitness centers across Malaysia. Malaysia has the estimate of 30 million in population and only 10 percent of people admitted in our survey that they exercise or jog at least three to four times a week. Main reason for not putting exercise as a priority is "no time". The lack of exercise and consumption of MAD had us living on the edge.
  3. Lastly : Fast Food! Everywhere you turn huge fast food franchise is never too far, usually painted in bright colors attracting and welcoming us to dine with them. Every housing area has not one but multiple fast food franchises. We are spoilt for choice. Children are craving them and us adult with heavy work schedules find it convenient with their drive through services and their strings of cheap lunch and dinner value savings meals, it is our solution to quick and affordable lunch and dinner. 
Being Malaysian and trying to be healthy is never easy. We are constantly living on MAD and as a result gaining weight is inevitable. There is of course hope for all of us, with effort and determination we can relinquish the number one spot and journey toward healthier lifestyle. 

One of the way is definitely juicing. Juicing is a way to start the ball rolling and here at Juice'd by G.I.Juicery we have prepared a several types of program to suit every lifestyles and needs. 

  • One can try our cleanse, a very effective way to clean up our system and rid off hard to kick eating habits.
  • As for our obese and overweight friends, our in-house nutritionist will guide you step by step through our guided trim program, to slowly help you recognize your root problems and taking them down one by one, ushering you to healthier and better lifestyle.
  • For the remaining healthy, fit Malaysian do not let MAD slowly take over but instead continue to stay healthy with our JFE (Juice'd For Everyone) Packs to top up and ensure that you continue to stay on the right track, enjoying the best life has to offer.
Things are definitely possible and with determination we can do it! Malaysia "a healthier nation"? YES WE CAN!  

With that said : Let's Juice'd!
