Do you agree to be here?
Are you walking around alive on this planet, but are in constant rejection of your life or aspects of it (your work, your relationship, your family, your body, your health… ) – either silently or complaining openly? Then chances are you don’t fully agree to be here. You are likely either missing the “good old […]
Count your blessings, not your calories
I’ve been counting calories for a very long time in my life: to control my bodyweight, my appetite, my cravings. Like so many other people I thought that weight, health and my value as a person were all closely connected. I also thought that weight was a linear function of x number of calories resulting […]
A true alternative to glyphosate exists
An alternative to glyphosate already exists! It is called (local, small-scale) organic agriculture! Honestly, I don`t get the current outcry about the prolongation of the glyphosate license. Or better said, I only get it partially. Of course I understand that people are annoyed with politics succumbing to the influence of big lobbies and putting profit […]
The type of food waste nobody ever seems to talk about
There is a lot of talk about food waste and for a good reason. Collectively, from farm to table, we currently throw away between 30-50% of the food we produce. This is not only a slap in the face of those dying of hunger, but also of all those who worked hard to produce the […]
Zero FOOD waste shopping
For 4 years I used to have a shop for organic Real Food in Brussels (I then closed it for personal reasons). This shop used to function in a completely different way than other shops and – as a consequence – was 100% FOOD waste free. In this article I explain what I – and especially […]
How strong is your psychic immune system?
When you think about the immune system, you probably think about colds, winter and vitamin C, about bacteria and viruses – maybe you’ve also already heard how 70-80% of our immune system lies in the gut… (if not, you can read all about it here). All good & fair, but all of that is related to […]
Grass-fed vs. Grain-fed Cows
Whenever I read somewhere that eating meat is bad for your health and the planet, I want to call or write the author and tell them to correct the headline to “Eating factory-farmed GRAIN & SOY-fed meat is bad for your health and the planet”. We always lump together very different types of cows and […]
Your period as a barometer for health & fertility
Your period. Chances are you live in a love-hate relationship with her or have at some point in your life. If you are not actually cursing her (anymore) and wondering who invented this unfair punishment for women, you might simply have silently surrendered, trying to deal with her as good as you can, pain-killers and […]
Free Abundance: Abundance without ownership
When it comes to abundance, we often think that this means to have lots of money and material possessions. In truth however, we can have a huge bank account, house or car and still come from a place of scarcity and fear. In scarcity mindset there is constant anxiety of not having and of not […]
The importance of making your story right
Think about the story you have been telling yourself about yourself, especially when it comes to the hard and difficult moments of your life, the challenges you had to face when it comes to your health, your relationships, work, finances… Is it a story full of annoying problems, anger, sadness, regret, sarcasm, complaining, “poor me” […]
