MSc. in Biology, Cert. Nutrition Coach

Hey, dear fellow seeker of truth in nutrition and regeneration. To question everything does not make you everybody’s darling, but you sure get to have a unique path. I do not believe that I hold all the answers, but I feel we are onto something when we ask: Are humans frugivores? This question changes the way we understand human nutrition!

I am determined to know all about the human species-specific diet. I am also convinced that nutrition must be integrated into the bigger framework of ecology and evolutionary biology. Knowing about our origins, our ancestral ecological niche, and comparing humans to those species that are remarkably similar to us – the great apes – can reveal life-changing insights. Especially when paired with holistic health and nutritional science.

“To get the best functionality and regeneration of the body, we need to find out who we are in nature without letting our cultural filters get in the way.”

If I had to label myself anything, I would probably call myself a naturalist and seeker of the bigger picture. I am formally educated in biology and nutrition, and started digging really deep into nutritional biology. I truly believe we never stop learning, and some of the most valuable insights come from the simplest moments, lived experience and from nature.
