Love yourself this Christmas
Christmas time (or festivities in general) are tightly connected to food. No wonder, because food doesn’t just provide us with energy, but also means connection, tradition, belonging… all of which is deeply nourishing and important. However, it can be a challenging time, if you try to eat healthy, because it’s also a time where cookies, […]
The soul lesson behind my burn
This is part 3 of my article on how to treat a burn from a Mind-Body-Nutrition Perspective. In part 1 I explained how I treated my 2nd degree burn externally to maximize healing and minimize scar formation. In part 2 I look at how to use nutrition to support healing from the inside.

How firm is your frame?
Some time back in 2019 my dance teacher told me to be even more rigid in my “frame” (I prefer to use the word “firm” since for me rigidity is when necessary firmness becomes exaggerated and unbalanced). It came as a surprise, because I thought I had a quite firm frame. I thought I knew […]
Is coconut really good for you?
No, I am not looking for “nutritional facts” here. From that point of view I could give you a whole list of arguments why it is a superfood. In fact, it’s been one of my “holy cows” ever since I got trained in Real Food Nutrition and Metabolic Typing (2012). While I often put people […]

You cannot save someone who needs to drown – but you can save yourself from going down with them
There is a tendency I have observed in myself, in people I love, in clients and in the world in general, and that is the tendency of the Feminine trying to drag the Masculine out of its toxic state of unconsciousness into the light. I am not necessarily talking about women trying to drag men […]
Food Intolerances: Why avoiding gluten or dairy is not enough
Food intolerances are a growing phenomenon these days. Top on the list are gluten, dairy (especially milk protein – A1 casein in cow milk – and milk sugar – lactose), egg whites, soy, corn and peanuts, but in the IgG antibody tests I often ask clients to run, I also see many reactions to foods […]
Cut the circuit – Rewire your brain
For 10 seconds… look around you and watch out for everything that is brown. Done it? Well now, tell me anything RED that you saw. Now for another 10 seconds, look around you and watch out for everything that is red. It is quite likely that you see more red now then during the first […]
The Need for Love and Connection
Tony Robbins outlines the 6 human needs at the basis of everything we do. One of them is the need for Love & Connection. What follows are my reflections on this particular need and how it impacts our relationships with ourselves, others and even food and body. The need for Love and Connection is a […]
