Behind the Nuwe Jy Program
The Nuwe Jy self-improvement program was created with the goal in mind to focus on holistic health, weight loss, personal growth, and confidence!
At the beginning of the year, ladies sign up to participate in a transformative 60-day challenge. Each participant receives a meal plan, exercise program, diet tips, motivational videos, and more!
Those who make significant progress during the 60-day challenge are eligible to enroll in the Nuwe Jy program. Twenty ladies are invited to an online interview, and ten are selected to intensively work towards their goals. Ultimately, the final top six ladies are named.
With the support of incredible sponsors, the top 10 embark on a comprehensive health and wellness journey. They will shed extra kilos with the Slender Wonder program. Annique’s skincare products ensure a healthy, glowing complexion, while our finalists flash their new smiles after visits to I Love My Smile. Psychologist Dr. Catherine van Heerden helps these amazing ladies clear their minds and regain mental energy through a group session at Thikwalo Lodge in Dinokeng.
Everyone has a story, and it takes courage to open your heart an share it as well as to take that first step forward on a transformative journey.
Get to know them closely and become part of their inspiring journey through the NUWE JY Reality TV Program, airing from 17 July 2024 on the Voelgoed TV channel.
