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
Introduction It 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 […]
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 […]
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 flora Our gut […]
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 […]
What is Your Creation Pattern ?
As above, so below. As within, so without. What happens on one level has its equivalent on all other levels. When it comes to fertility, this means that the way we create babies is likely to be equal or very similar to the way we create projects and vice versa. Looking deeply at what’s happening […]
Tired? Create more Space…
The topic of “making space” is a recurrent one in my work with clients. Making space for oneself, making space for relationships, making space for a child… sometimes just making space to read a book or to have a session with me… let along making space to simply be, to rest, to do “nothing”. And […]
The Misinterpreted Mirror Effect
The misinterpretation of the mirror effect is a recurrent observation I have made and in this article I want to give my vision on it and maybe help you clear some confusion around it. The mirror effect is usually understood as the idea that we are disproportionately irritated or triggered by the words, actions or […]
Simple but not easy
The other day I read a post on Instagram where someone was telling the story of how they sold their homestead and moved back to city life after being disillusioned by what is often called “the simple life”. It made me smile, because there is indeed a huge difference between a simple life and an easy life. […]
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 body and Life in general. In this article, I base myself on the work of David Deida and his description of the three stages of spiritual […]
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 […]
Milk can be a regenerative food
In this video I cover nutritional, environmental and ethical aspects regarding milk and under what conditions it can be regenerative both for the human body and for the planet. The video is fully chaptered so you do not necessarily have to watch it entirely but can jump to the topics that interest you most.
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 […]
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 […]
Plant-based is not the same as Vegan!
Today everyone is talking about plant-based diets but what are we really talking about when we use this term? Many people use it as a synonym for vegan or vegetarian but it’s NOT the same! Plant-based means that plants are the BASE of the diet but can be complemented by up to 25% of animal […]
