Hey, dear fellow seeker of truth in nutrition and regeneration, I’m an independent researcher focusing on the human species-specific diet – which goes hand in hand with natural living and exploring the diet and ecology of our closest living relatives – the chimpanzees and other primates. I created this website to focus on the question:
Are We Frugivores?
This question is tightly linked with the quest for the healthiest human diet, the diet we have evolved to eat. I approach the search by studying our ancestral, original ecological niche, the experience of myself, and many other passionate seekers of health and self-regenerate. I also aim to raise awareness of the toxic overload of the world and our bodies and how to detox efficiently – to help ourselves, but also all other living beings that strive to live on mother nature. To heal our bodies, we need to find out who we are in nature without letting our cultural filters get in the way.
My educational background and core experiences are:
- M.Sc. in Biology, Ecology UZH, University of Zurich

"We are frugivores - specialized fruit-eaters!"
It was passion at first sight when I came across the intriguing concept that humans are adapted to a high-fruit diet, similar to chimpanzees. As someone trained in evolutionary biology and anthropology, I had to start digging deeper! I'm not an academic scientist, but I seek knowledge and health by connecting the dots for over a decade - and finally found the missing piece! And, after seeing enough convincing evidence, I started eating a frugivore diet to test it on myself... and saw changes in health I had never imagined.
Now, my main focus is to find the best answer to the question:

Overcoming my autoimmune condition naturally
Growing up in a family founding a business focused on natural remedies and herbalism.
My great passion is exploring the ancestral, original ecological niche of humans and the potential to self-regenerate within this paradise habitat we are biologically adapted to. I connect scientific studies with holistic, ancient knowledge and real-life experiences.
I aim to raise awareness of the toxic overload of the world and our bodies and how to detox efficiently by sticking to the ecological niche and diet we are adapted to. We desperately need this reliable and easy-to-use compass within the confusing jungle of artificial dietary concepts and profit-driven (mis)information in health and even in alternative health. Know your ecology... and finally, everything makes sense. To heal our bodies, we need to find out who we are in nature without letting our cultural filters get in the way.
I'm grateful to be given the opportunity to use my educational background in biological sciences, combined with natural healing knowledge, common sense, and intuition, to put out information to the best of my ability.
I'm 100% independently working in service to those ready for great change toward a loving, regenerating world.
