The 22 Million Strong mission, tour, and decade-long campaign emerged at the intersection of Nicolette’s Doctoral research, volunteer work, a career with her Green Moustache companies, and her personal desire to connect deeper to her own heritage as an African-Indian-Austrian-Canadian.
Nicolette’s research foundation is built upon Decolonizing Research Methodologies as opposed to typical Eurocentric research approaches that have historically undervalued and undermined the rich experiences and knowledge of local and marginalized populations.

NICOLETTE’S STORY
Nicolette's journey into holistic health began when her best friend's dad, diagnosed with cancer at 72, defied a three-month prognosis and lived another 22 years through intense nutrition and detoxification.
Witnessing his remarkable recovery ignited her curiosity, and Nicolette delved into modifying the therapy for 19 clients with chronic conditions, witnessing remarkable healing beyond cancer. This marked the birth of Richer Health®, a company dedicated to helping people reverse chronic diseases through food as medicine.
Over the past 25 years, Nicolette has immersed herself in ecological and human health studies and trained with experts like Charlotte Gerson, Dr. Colin T. Campbell of the Center for Nutrition Studies, and Dr. Neal Bernard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. She explored healing food systems on five continents, from Australia to Europe, Africa to Asia, and Mississippi to the Six Nations in Canada. Through rigorous scientific training and research, she gained insights into the shortcomings of many fad diets and health programs touted online, understanding why they often fail to deliver real results.
With hundreds and thousands of dollars spent on her education, countless hours of research, and a commitment to learning, Nicolette authored a book, launched a top-ranked podcast, started a charity, produced an award-winning film, earned her doctorate in social sciences, became a sought-after speaker, and established a chain of plant-based cafes, the Green Moustache Café. She now leads four successful health companies, including the nonprofit she always dreamed of.
Throughout the years, Nicolette has empowered and inspired thousands to reclaim their health and reverse diagnosed chronic illnesses using food as regenerative medicine.
Her impact has been recognized by renowned publications such as Forbes and Vogue. Nicolette has also been a featured guest on popular podcasts like The One Thing Podcast, National Health Association, FitVegan Podcast, The You Project, Canada's Podcast, and many more. Additionally, she has graced the pages of various magazines and appeared in films.
Nicolette recently launched her 22 Million Strong tour, a mission to educate 22 million people on how to reverse their chronic diseases by 2030.
AS SEEN AND FEATURED IN:
For almost every day of my life, strangers have stopped to ask me "What are you?” So, I'll start by introducing myself with the simplest answer to that question. The short version is I am a Malawi-African born to a Punjabi/Malawian Mom and an Austrian Dad - they separated when I was three. A year later, my mom met my step-dad, East Vancouver raised, who was on the last leg of his trip around the world. 12 months after their first encounter my mom and I traversed the globe with all of our belongings in tow. The mosaic beauty of British Columbia stuck with us and has been my home ever since.
The long version is that I'm still creating what and who I am each day. Science tells me one thing - I'm the expression of my DNA which is a reflection of the environment I'm exposed to or create for myself. I'm also the sum of my values and philosophy, spiritual and physical life experiences, and the nutrients and toxins that I consume daily.
However, I'm just like everyone else - despite the colour of my skin, the experiences I've had, or where or who I came from - I'm a spiritual being having a human experience.
I'm loving every moment of this glorious existence - the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I'm an optimist. I thrive on hope. I believe in miracles and I experience them every day. I've been called a Master Manifestor and bringing my ideas and dreams to fruition is what I do well. Loving deeply and feeling the interconnectedness of EVERYTHING is my gift that I pour freely into this world. I care deeply for the environment, our planet Earth, and the universe in which we live. It pains me to live in the 21st century seeing what is happening. But - instead of wallowing in the doom and gloom of our ways, I return to my deeply seated roots and I stand on the shoulders of the giants before me.
I work diligently, to share with you what I've been privileged to have studied, experienced, and learned in my life.
FUN FACTS
My great-great-grandmother escaped from a slave trade line-up when she was 8 years old in Africa, and as a result, I'm here today to do the work I do.
Out of 18 full rides in the USA, I chose to play tennis in Mississippi and ended up being the first "black" woman ever in an all-white Sorority, which caused quite a political stir when they tried to ban me in 1994.
I started the Multi-cultural Stepping Dance off to unite black and white frat houses.
Because I'm neither "white" nor "black," I was able to flow freely between and hear the deep extent of the racism that still pervades the Deep South.
During that same era, I was randomly caught in two gun fights - mental health and diabetes triggered, which probably fuelled my curiosity for what I do now.
I was lost in the Golden Triangle because of an opium-addicted guide and was later found by a Burmese refugee with his rifle and his horse. It was Ellen DeGeneres and George Costanza who saved me.
I walked away from thousands of dollars and my business the morning that the Twin Towers collapsed so that I could pursue a life of purpose.
I've received a death threat in China for doing the work I do now.
The 'FDA' said we can't use the word 'healthy' to describe the menu in our restaurant - we only serve unrefined and unprocessed plant-based meals and beverages - hahaha!
I nearly died of Typhoid in Nepal on the same night my cousin died of Typhoid in Malawi - but I was saved by 4 tennis colleagues whom I hadn't seen since I was 15 years old. My cousin wasn't. We adopted her 1-year-old son, who's now 21 years old.
All in all, what these stories show is that I'm either watched over by angels or that I come from a long line of people who simply persevere no matter what.
That's the message I share with my clients so that they never give up on finding the answer that will help them overcome their chronic health diseases. That is what is truly life-saving about the work I do.
Yes, this is a business — and yes, we offer services and programs that people pay for.

Whether you’re reading our newsletters, watching our videos, or joining our community, know this: you’re receiving decades of lived experience, research, and frontline health education without a price tag.
I’m not here to pretend I have it all figured out. I’m human, I’ve had my share of tough days, personal losses, and doubts. But I’ve also witnessed the most extraordinary recoveries, both in my own life and in the lives of thousands of clients. That’s why I show up, to share what’s real, what’s proven, and what’s possible.
So, no, you won’t find perfect polish here. But you will find honesty. You’ll find science-backed strategies, a little humor, a lot of heart, and a fierce commitment to help you and your family thrive, naturally, powerfully, and sustainably.
