What is regenerative / fertile food?

Switching from edible food products to natural and unprocessed (or only gently processed) foods is a necessary first step, but it cannot stop there, at least not if your goal is optimal health and fertility. If you want your food to optimally support your health and fertility, it needs to be grown in or raised […]

Women, it’s time to evolve beyond Feminism!

There was a time, not too long ago, in our developed world, when a woman wasn’t allowed to do many things that were normal for a man. She wasn’t allowed to study, to work (apart from in the house), to have an opinion, to vote, to run a marathon or to wear trousers for example. […]

Eating animal foods can be regenerative – Part 1: Nutrition

IntroductionIt seems that if you want to be a “good” and “enlightened” consumer these days, you have to go vegan. While I can understand the ethical, environmental and nutritional motivations fueling this movement, the whole notion that veganism is the most ethical, sustainable and healthiest way to eat is dangerously one-sided and misleading. Things are […]

Food, Body & Life are your best friends, not your enemies

One of the most important mindset shifts you can make in order to develop a healthy and fertile relationship not only with Life, but also with your body and even with food (that then will translate into a healthy and fertile body according to the “as above-so below” principle) is to replace “enemy” with “friend” […]

We are not asking the right questions!

Are you vegetarian?Do you eat meat?Any special diet? Gluten-free, dairy-free…?These are the most frequent questions I get whenever I am invited to eat somewhere, especially when people know I am into nutrition. However, these are NOT the right questions to ask!Just because I eat meat does not mean that I eat ANY type of meat […]

The importance of the gut for health & fertility

If we consider that 70-80% of our immune system lies in the gut, it is crucial to talk about gut health as THE important factor to improve our overall health, well-being – and also fertility – all year long.Simplified, there are two main and interdependent aspects to gut health: gut flora and gut permeability. Gut floraOur gut is colonized […]

Why I am not in favor of assisted fertility treatments

This is a delicate topic, yet one that has to be raised and that I feel about very strongly. Most of my colleagues in the field of holistic fertility would tell you that their recommendations will be beneficial for you also during fertility treatments. While I do agree that they will definitely help you to […]

Food, Body and the Feminine

From a mere energetic point of view, food is Feminine. Food comes from MOTHER Earth and is solid matter and as such more Feminine than airy thoughts and consciousness. Soft fat is energetically also more Feminine than hard muscles.The allocation into Feminine or Masculine is not an evaluation. One is not better than the other. […]

Insects, Boundaries and the 3 Stages

I have written in detail about the three stages David Deida describes and added my own insights when it comes to our relationship with food in particular, in this article. I refer you to this article for a general understanding of the phases first. Today I would like to muse about our relationship with insects […]

Nutrition, Boundaries and the 3 Stages

After animal farming, my next favorite topic is the topic of Masculine – Feminine dynamics and how they affect our relationships with other people, our relationship with food and even our relationship with insects.David Deida describes the three stages of the spiritual maturation of our inner Masculine and inner Feminine and thus, as a consequence […]

Herbivores, Carnivores and Omnivores

Today, let us look into the differences between herbivores, carnivores and omnivores when it comes to their nutritional needs and digestive capacities. It may seem unnecessary to you as a topic, but I assure you that’s not necessarily the case – I’ve heard very, very intelligent people say very “surprising” things. So here comes a […]

Where and how do animals NATURALLY get vitamin B12?

Today I want to talk to you about a nutrient essential for health and fertility: Vitamin B12… Vitamin B12 is essential to maintain the health of the neurons and the blood. It also supports the formation of the genetic material in all cells. As states Chris Kresser: “B12 deficiency has been associated with or can actually […]

Animal Sanctuaries, the Drama Triangle and Victim Consciousness

The Drama Triangle describes a model of dysfunctional social interactions and illustrates a power game that involves three roles: Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor, each role representing a common and ineffective response to conflict. We can apply it not just to our personal relationships, but also to our whole medical or “health” system. As long as […]

Responding from fear or from trust

There are things we control and others we don’t. As much as we take responsibility to create the favorable circumstances for health and harmony to occur, the body will get sick and we will live difficult situations at some point in life. This is simply part of life and the path of the soul. We […]
