Ozempic guru lists Greenwich mansion for auction

1 month ago 12

1A Hinkler St, Greenwich goes under the hammer on August 31.


Health gurus John Miller and Dr Jennie Brand-Miller have been at the forefront of weight loss and dieting for decades and for 42 years have lived at the same Greenwich address.

John is retired but was previously the medical director of Novo Nordisk in Australia, which makes diabetes and obesity medicines such as Ozempic and Wegovy.

Ozempic was developed for people with diabetes and Wegovy is the same medicine but sold in a higher dosage injectable pen for obesity treatment.

Wegovy is being launched in Australian pharmacies this month.

Jennie, meanwhile, is the author of The Low GI Diet, which sold 3.5 million copies.

She became known as GI Jennie and is now writing a book about the role of glucose in human evolution called Sweet – How Sugar Made Us Human.

“Our brains run on glucose, and we crave carbs and in moderation they are fine,” she says.

Plenty of baking and cooking has taken place in the De Gabrielle kitchen at 1A Hinkler St, Greenwich.

The couple’s son-in-law is a chef.

The home has plenty of room for an extended family, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

During Covid, three generations lived in the house.

And recently Jennie has rediscovered her love of baking.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool and double garaging goes to auction on Saturday, August 31 with a guide of $4m.

James Bennett, of Belle Property Lane Cove, says the house is light and airy, elevated and at the end of a cul-de-sac with beautiful views to the CBD from the deck.

It is also 450m from Greenwich Public School.

Bennett says there is a great teenage retreat downstairs and the property feels like a resort, on more than 1000sq m of lush surrounds.
