My entry into the fitness industry began with my training as a sports and fitness manager. During this time, I developed a strong interest in sports nutrition and exercise physiology. Working with clients and other fitness professionals gave me valuable insight into program design, client support, and the importance of individualized fitness plans. At the same time, it became clear to me that I wanted to understand nutrition on a much deeper scientific level.

Driven to deepen my understanding, I went on to complete both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Nutritional Sciences. During this time, I focused on nutritional physiology and metabolism, examining how macronutrients, vitamins and minerals influence health and physical performance. Over the years, I developed a strong interest in diet related diseases, especially non alcoholic fatty liver disease and other metabolic disorders. This focus ultimately led me to pursue a PhD in Nutritional Sciences.

My doctoral and postdoctoral research at the University of Vienna focused on liver diseases, inflammation, and the role of nutrition in metabolic health. I conducted human and animal studies, investigated cancer cell lines, and published multiple scientific papers. This experience deepened my expertise in evidence-based nutrition and reinforced my mission: to bridge the gap between research and practical nutritional consulting.
