Up to my early thirties, my main focus revolved around science. My curiosity about how the world works led me to study physics and chemistry, complete a PhD in materials science at ETH Zurich, and spend years in research and the high-tech industry.

​

However, my interest in nutrition began to emerge as my health gradually declined. I struggled with weight gain, IBS, PCOS, and endometriosis. Frustrated by the contradictory messages about nutrition in mainstream media, I decided to approach the topic the same way I approached scientific problems—through deep research and critical analysis.

​

It became clear that the standard low-fat, high-carb dietary advice I had been following was ineffective for a reason: insulin resistance. This realization led me to explore the science behind low-carb and ketogenic diets. Over the past 12 years, I have followed a ketogenic diet on and off. Each "off" period brought into sharp focus my struggles with sugar addiction. This personal journey not only deepened my understanding of addiction but also inspired me to help others navigate their path to freedom from addiction more effectively than I did.

​

As I delved deeper, I became increasingly aware of the broader health crises affecting those around me—cancer, cardiovascular disease, type I and type II diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Yet, the role of lifestyle and nutrition in managing these conditions was rarely discussed. This gap in knowledge extended beyond the general population to healthcare professionals, who often lacked awareness of the profound impact of diet on health.

​

The medical community's standard advice often neglects the critical role of nutrition. Worse, nutritional guidance is frequently based on weak science, plagued by issues such as food questionnaire surveys, correlation mistaken for causation, and financial biases. Witnessing people diligently follow flawed advice, only to see their health deteriorate, deeply frustrated me.

​

My scientific background and personal experiences drive my commitment to promoting metabolic health through lifestyle and nutrition. I aim to empower others to take control of their health by providing clear, science-based guidance. I also want my children to grow up in a world that recognizes the harmful effects of sugar and processed foods and understands their addictive nature.

​

This is not just a career for me—it is a mission to help others achieve better health and avoid the pitfalls I encountered on my journey.
