About Us

Who is Lifestyle Enzymes?

Lifestyle Enzymes is an Australian owned and operated family wholesale distribution business that specialises in digestive enzymes. We are based in Noosaville, Queensland and service health food stores, pharmacies and healthcare practitioners.

We passionately believe that Digestive Enzymes are vital to ensure proper nutrition by means of improved digestion, an essential building block to restore people to good health.

The founder of Lifestyle Enzymes, Robert C McIlroy ND (retired), practiced in Noosa Heads for over nineteen years, and used the Genuine N.Zimes Formula #10 as a primary therapy in his clinic for over fifteen years. By various means of testing and using a questionnaire process, Robert found the majority of his patients, including small children, were showing signs of being enzyme deficient. This enzyme deficiency can be inherited and/or individually developed as a result of poor diets which consist of mostly cooked and highly processed foods, and through stress.

We have many testimonials from grateful patients and consumers of all ages to support these claims. In this day and age of fast-food diets and busy lifestyles it is very important to support the digestive process in every way possible, and we strongly believe in this great formula, which has been available in the USA for many years and in Australia since the early 2000’s.

Our history

DID YOU KNOW that there would not be any approved digestive enzymes available for sale in Australia if it had not been for the vision and dedication of our founder, Robert McIlroy? Robert’s belief in digestive enzymes and the benefits of enzyme therapy meant he worked tirelessly to have Amylase, Protease, Lipase, Cellulase and Tilactase approved for the Australian market place, a process which took several years to achieve. This process became the cornerstone of our business.

In 2016 Kerri Jensen, and her husband, Wayne, purchased Lifestyle Enzymes from Robert when he retired. Kerri has worked alongside Robert for 15 years in all aspects of the business and shares Robert’s passion and belief in enzyme therapy by seeing firsthand the rewarding improvement of patients in Robert’s clinic who suffered from all sorts of ailments by the simple remedy of taking digestive enzymes. As Robert also developed his own proprietary enzyme formulas for health practitioners, Kerri was closely involved in growing and transitioning the business from a very successful practitioner clinic through to an equally successful distribution business Australia-wide and throughout New Zealand.

How we give back

A percentage of our profits are donated directly to Compassion Australia – meaning every time you make a purchase you are supporting them too. As a company we believe in an inclusive society, because business should have the power to change everyone’s lives. Compassion Australia reduces poverty around the world, one child at a time; providing clean water, education, health & nutrition, family and community support.

This past year we have been able to support three different projects:

• Drilling Boreholes in Kigoma, Tanzania to improve access to safe, clean water through the provision of boreholes. 233 Compassion assisted children, their families, centre staff and the community at large now have access to clean water.
• Establishing a safe water supply for registered children in Kupang, Indonesia. Providing safe and clean water for 204 registered children, 38 adult beneficiaries and community members, thus reducing exposure to the pathogens which cause diarrhoeal disease.
• Income generation for child survival program caregivers in Tanzania, to equip and empower 230 mothers/caregivers with the skills, knowledge and start-up capital to operate a small business.
•  Current project is providing clean water and bathrooms in Indonesia.

We thank you for your support.
