What is this course about?

There is currently significant confusion regarding which foods are healthy, with various theories contradicting each other. 

This course gives you simple tools to understand what foods work for you, how to prepare them, and how to put together a satisfying menu. In addition you’ll receive practical tools to address extreme needs without self-condemnation. 

This course focuses on boosting your energy levels, enhancing your relationship with food, optimizing its benefits for your well-being, and cooking nutritious meals. Participants report a better relationship with food and a noticeable increase in their energy levels during the course.

Your body renews up to 300 billion cells a day. Already during the course, you may experience that your new cells is healthier than the ones they replace, thanks to nutrient dense foods.

What is so special about this course?

You will be presented with a holistic and non-dogmatic approach to food, which makes it possible to get to a point where you can assess whether food items are suitable or unsuitable for a specific purpose rather than just categorizing them as good or bad. This approach opens the door to a much richer life on a higher vibration. 

You will be invited to develop a deeper understanding of your body’s signals and learn to create a healthy relationship with food and break vicious circles to free yourself from unhealthy eating habits.

You will make your very own customized meal plan, which both takes your situation, your values about food, your personality and those you cook for into account.

You will get tools you can use the rest of your life.
