Early on I recognized my love for plants, for being in nature, and for seeing it as a playground for physical activity and original nutrition.

God, the Creator, and Mother Earth have given us everything; we simply need to recognize and preserve it as pure and pristine as possible! Wild berries and wild plants contain so much life energy and power!

For the past few years, I have been living in northern Scandinavia for many months of the year, and a part of my being and soul feels at home here.

Since then, I've discovered an unfathomable passion for collecting berries—especially wild blueberries! A new spirit, a new zest for life, awakened within me! It's as if an ancient, dormant survival instinct is reactivated when we begin to gather nature's berries, fruits, and herbs.

You just want to go, run, enjoy yourself and pick berries, getting deeper and deeper into the wilderness and never returning to the modern world.

This has been the case for me every summer and autumn since then, and the desire and the idea arose within me to share the precious wild berries and my own creations with people in Europe and to make their benefits more known and understood.

Since then, the Nordic wild blueberries, cranberries and many other berries and wild plants that were previously completely unknown to me have become an important part of my diet.

Everyone can explore and experience its healing potential for the gut, body, and brain for themselves!

In my opinion, wild berries, wild fruits, wild herbs, and all wild plants in general contain the greatest power for maintaining our health. These are the berries, fruits, grasses, herbs, and plants that have not been artificially bred for sweetness and size. The berries and plants of the forests and wilderness of Scandinavia have always been as the Creator intended them to be.

The vibration of those berries and plants is so extremely high that the total energy of food in a supermarket probably wouldn't stand a chance.

Long transport routes and storage of food also lead to a reduction in the vitality and energy of fruits, vegetables, and all other products. Therefore, fresh and regional foods are always best! When sourcing my raw materials, I pay close attention to ensuring that everything comes largely from Europe and is either wild-grown or strictly organically cultivated.

Tasting the irresistible wild berries reveals a taste with thousands of nuances that energizes, revitalizes and builds up the body.

The greatest joy is gathering berries and plants in the wild. But those who are wise always keep a supply of dried powders at home.

It's not only one of the greatest sources of nutrients, but also the best survival stash imaginable. When you're spending an extended period in the wilderness, far from civilization, you start to think about it. A packet of wild berry powder and barley grass juice powder could keep you going for a long time.

Thanks to my parents, who provided me with whole foods and organic farming from infancy and also taught me the knowledge about it from childhood, I grew up very healthy and was able to maintain my natural tooth alignment thanks to a diet free of industrial sugar.

I've been a dedicated vegetarian since I was 10 years old, and I only did a "meat-eating experiment" for six months to see if it would affect my athletic career. It showed no effect, just increased fatigue. Although people with blood type O are often said to be "meat eaters." But who really knows what's true? Perhaps they naturally ate more berries, roots, fruits, and herbs? That's my view. Ultimately, you can only experience and understand for yourself. There's probably no "one right diet for everyone." Everyone should listen to their own body and act wisely. In my experience, a dietary change should always last three months to allow the gut bacteria and everything else to adjust.

I became vegan at 19, later more of a raw food vegan, and now I would describe it more like this: “A whole-food diet with a high proportion of salads, sprouts, fruits, and vegetables. During the day, I eat raw food, and during the day or evening, I have a pink "cell magic" mixed with water for an energy boost, or green juice or a smoothie. In the evening, I usually also eat a cooked meal, mostly with lentils, beans, and protein…” (I still do quite a lot of exercise). I never overcook vegetables; I only warm them briefly and keep them as crisp and raw as possible, even in stews or soups!

Growing up in the Alps, I developed an early passion for hiking, sport climbing, and spending time in nature and the flora of the mountains. As a teenager, I was an enthusiastic sport climber for many years on the Austrian national team, trained with the elite team, and participated in European competitions. As a two-time national champion, overall winner of the Austria Cup, and multiple top-three finishers in Europe, I knew the difference that targeted training, consistency, nutrition, and mental strength make!

Through competitive sports and my father, who was a doctor and fitness trainer, I came to delve deeper into the topics of nutrition, muscle training, and mental training.

Shortly after beginning my competitive sports career at around age 11, I eagerly devoured my first cookbooks and nutrition books. My journey into nutritional knowledge began quite simply with cookbooks by Barbara Rütting and the book "The Nutrient-Rich Whole Food Diet" by Dr. Bruker, knowledge that remains valid even after many decades. A truly eye-opening experience at a young age was the book my father swore by: "Endangered Humanity" by Weston A. Price and Albert von Haller. It was incredibly interesting and encouraging, showing, for example, how much we can make amends for the next generation in terms of nutrition, physique, dental alignment, and even facial features.

Since my father, grandfather, and their ancestors were all doctors, I was practically born with a deep understanding of human anatomy, muscle training, nutrition, and dental health. My grandmother from South Tyrol also played a significant role, as she was the biggest "freak" of the family and a true pioneer of organic and whole foods. Nevertheless, my family was always quite critical of conventional medicine, vaccinations, and pharmaceuticals, which was one of the reasons I decided against studying medicine. However, my great passion for health, healthy eating, and healing never faded. Especially in the last ten years, I've had the privilege of learning a great deal about holistic health, guided by some of the world's best healers, nutrition experts, wild herb specialists, naturopaths, holistic doctors, and so on.

Studying & academic work:

After my university studies in pedagogy/educational science and psychology, I worked on scientific research projects in Finland and in a free school in Germany.

Gardeners

After that, I was drawn to the world of gardening and spent about two years developing an organic farm with a community-supported agriculture (CSA) model. Besides vegetable gardening, I was responsible for educating our members about nutrition, recipes, and the uses of various vegetables.

Permaculture and sustainable building

During this time, I completed intensive training in permaculture and traveled to ecovillages and sustainability sites throughout Europe. In several workshops, I also learned a great deal about sustainable building (clay and straw construction and yurt building).

Alternative Medicine & Healing

For the past eight years, I have worked in an international health team, specializing in holistic health and healing with a focus on anatomy and posture. We offer events and health weeks throughout Europe.

Nutrition expert

Through my training as a holistic nutrition coach, I gained in-depth knowledge of nutrition, nutrients, and micronutrients. For many years, I have also worked with dietary supplements, macro- and micronutrients, natural cosmetics, and omega-3 fatty acids.
