(the 2 pillars of metabolic health)
When it comes to activities you do daily (such as eating and breathing) you may consider yourself an expert. After all you’ve been doing it all your life and by now you have listened to a few podcasts on the topic. What if though THE INFORMATION BROADLY AVAILABLE IS A HOAX?
Q: What do most people expect when it comes to nutritional advice?
A: A “Good-looking” diet with lots of vegetables & good fats, compulsive removal of any confectionary goods.
Q: Do you know many people that are healthy on these diets? Do you think dieticians and nutritionists that eat a rainbow diet, high in fibre, or those on the latest trend of meat only diet are healthy themselves?
A: No
Your nutritional advice should be small modifications of your existing diet (whatever this is), based your lab results and (ideally) your genetic make up in mind.
ps: Following idealised diets, will work (IF IT DOES) only short term. A long lasting healthy relationship with food goes beyond superfoods, dieting hacks or cutting out anything that has sugar.
Q: What do you expect when it coming to breathing advice?
A: Should you take big breaths, always be conscious of your breath and never forget of using your diaphragm.
Q: Do you know of ANYONE that breathes in such a way? Do you think that those advocating such breathing know what they are talking about?
A: No
The breathing exercises you will receive from me will dependent on your stress load & breathing capacity, physical fitness; as the way you breathe depends on your metabolic, emotional and biomechanical needs.
ps: Breathing practices based on esoteric claims about removing toxins and trauma from the body are at best a waste of time. In 2016 I got certified in the Wim Hof Method, and thus very much exposed to such nonsense. Similarly between 2017and 2023 while I worked with Patrick McKowen I evidenced first hand how partial truths equally don’t work.

Your health is as unique as your fingerprint and your path to recovering will only be possible through an individualised approach. A man’s medicine is another man’s poison. Your “medicine” will be based not only on your symptoms but on lab and genetic tests that will shed light into why things have derailed.
If you have read a book on breathing you are likely to think that breathing is the root cause of all your problems; and similar if you have read one on exercise, psychology, nutrition,… In most cases our body get’s out of balance not because of 1 but many systems breaking down. A multidisciplinary approach compounds the results and is the only way to overcome plateaus.
The most common feedback at the end of the 1st consultation is: “Is that all you are asking me to do?” At the end of the 2-3 session the feedback is: “Is it possible I have seen such a change with so little?” If you focus on what matters reasons will come with little change.
If you have been recently diagnosed with a health condition chances are you were surprised and think of it as an accident. Health conditions the majority of the time, however, are chronic, and if you don’t change the aspects of your life that brought you here,… recovery is slim and going on medication for life might be the only option.
Hormone Regulation is important for everyone, not just women (including those going through menopause), but also men. At the heart of hormone regulation seats good cardiovascular health, mental health, sleep, erectile function. Unfortunately public services and private insurance do not cover hormone tests that matter but stick to basic markers such as TSH and T4.
Mental Health challenges are real and need to be addressed with real lifestyle changes. Have you tested if your hormones are a contributing factor? Have you assessed if your breathing is compromising your ability to handle stress, sleep, or think clearly? If your digestive health and your gut-brain axis under attack?
→ Strengthen your immune system, eliminate energy deeps, improve your performance in sports.
→ Improve your sex life, cardiovascular and mental health.
Reverse Aging by balancing your hormones.
Reduce the chances of developing a chronic condition!
Most chronic conditions are a result of your body’s systems degenerating.
