My Personal Nutrition & Self-Love Journey
The Beginning
My journey into the world of nutrition began in the late 1980s.
As a child, I was very active and in great shape – there were no signs of any future weight problems.
However, during my teenage years, I started gaining weight without having changed my eating habits. Let’s not forget – these were the times before the internet. Food and nutrition were not such widely discussed topics, at least not for me.
I only needed to lose 5–6 kilograms, but I didn’t know how.I ran, played handball, did cross-country skiing, and trained – nothing helped.
Diets, yo-yo effect, and disappointments
At the age of 19, I started my first diet. At first, it worked wonderfully – after a few months, I was slim again.
But staying consistent was difficult. As soon as I went back to my old habits, the yo-yo effect kicked in and the weight came back.
Thus began a long cycle of dieting, losing, and regaining weight that lasted for years.
I tried numerous diets and nutrition philosophies – some of them several times. It was frustrating, exhausting, and very time-consuming.
Searching for balance
Gradually, I became interested in the topic of healthy eating, which eventually turned into my hobby.
In 2005, I started eating only organic food, but after a while, I began to suffer from a blocked nose, bloating, and frequent colds.
There was no diagnosis of allergies or intolerances, but after I stopped consuming dairy and gluten, the symptoms disappeared.
Despite that, I was still overweight – and over the years, the “extra baggage” doubled and even tripled compared to the beginning.
The change
In 2011, I was blessed with twin girls.
My children made me rethink what truly matters. I felt the need for a change – to do something more meaningful.
I started attending courses and workshops on health, nutrition, and dieting.
While I was successfully coaching others on healthy eating, I was still struggling with my own unstable weight.
I knew so much, yet I felt that something was missing.
The encounter with WILDFIT®
At the beginning of 2018, almost 30 years after the start of my journey, I discovered the WILDFIT® program.
I tried it and was amazed. I had finally found what I’d been looking for – the psychology of eating combined with the natural principles of human nutrition, just as nature intended.
Freedom from food
I reached a state we call “Food Freedom.”
This means being able to eat whatever and whenever you want, as much as you want – and still feel great about yourself and your relationship with food.
Being able not to eat what you don’t want, without feeling guilty or deprived.
What a relief!
The result:
-
16 kg less in 90 days
-
A total of 23 kg less after six months
-
No hunger, no exhaustion, no mandatory workouts
No pain, no punishment, and no restrictions – that’s exactly what made all other diets unsuccessful in the long run.
A new beginning as a coach
That’s when I decided to become a certified WILDFIT® coach, to help others achieve the same state – energy, health, and confidence.
Those 90 days also changed my attitude towards sports.
It was no longer an obligation, but a pleasure – simply movement and joy in my body.
Health as a natural state
Although I had never had any serious illnesses, after WILDFIT® my periodontitis, kidney problems, and joint pain disappeared.
Today, I am completely symptom-free – proof that the body is a genius system capable of healing itself when given the right resources.
A new stage – perimenopause
I looked and felt great for several years, but then perimenopause began, and my life became filled with stress.
Nothing worked anymore – mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain, lack of concentration.
I was a coach who couldn’t help herself.
Until I did a few things differently.
I restored my mood, sleep, concentration, weight, and libido.
And most importantly – for the first time, I like my reflection in the mirror, without being perfect.
It’s not about having a perfect body.
It’s about how you see yourself and how you value yourself.
✨ I’m blooming again!
A little more about me
I love long walks with my daughters, with friends, or with our four-legged child Chili – our special Spitz.
I practice Kundalini yoga and love skiing in winter.
I love delicious food, meeting friends, and cultural diversity.
I love sandy beaches, the warm sea, and smiling people.
I like cats, but I adore our dog.
I cry at movies, but otherwise I’m determined.
I love organized chaos, energetic music, and the dance of life.
I do what is right – not what is easy.
