About Ed

After completing my nutrition studies in the Netherlands in 2015 and starting an online nutritional advice practice, my wife and I ventured to Asia. Our 18-month journey included engaging in various cooking classes and learning traditional Thai massage together. Returning to Europe in October 2016, we became part of Moinhos Velhos, a juice detox retreat located at the southwestern tip of continental Europe. Over seven years, I have contributed as a retreat host, nutritionist, and chef for the detox programs, helping hundreds each year to embrace a healthier lifestyle and diet. In 2020, we launched one-week healthy plant-based eating retreats at Moinhos Velhos, where I prepared meals, led cooking workshops, and gave nutrition lectures.

My experience at Moinhos Velhos has consistently shown me that even small shifts towards a more plant-based diet can significantly improve health. Recognizing that many guests found it challenging to sustain these habits at home, I developed online wellness programs to offer ongoing support and guidance. These programs integrate personalized nutrition plans with yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and fitness exercises, customized to individual preferences and objectives.

Drawing from the latest evidence-based nutritional research, I provide practical tips for integrating healthier choices into everyday meals. With experience in a plant-based restaurant, I am well-versed in creating flavorful plant-based dishes, especially using spices for their taste and health benefits.

I am committed to helping you make those vital, incremental changes to your diet. Consider the online services I offer for your journey towards better health.
