1. What can you tell us about yourself?

I have a degree in mathematics and a master degree in finance. After the age of 28, I decided to follow my big interest about health and wellbeing through natural, holistic methods and do what I truly love.

 

2. What does veganism mean to you?

For me veganism is respect to nature, animals, our body and our health. When is done correctly, I believe that veganism is our natural evolution for the good of the whole planet.

 

3. What led you to follow the vegan way of life?

The reason i decided to follow a vegan diet has to do with a health issue I was facing since i was young, which conventional medicine and medication failed to resolve. What I learned through the years of study had opened my eyes to what real health is and how it can be achieved, something I applied and it has now become a way of living. Books of Robert Morse, Anthony William, Arnold Ehret and Douglas Graham were the most influential for me.

 

4. How easy or difficult it is to be vegan today?

It is a big change and that is why it is quite natural to face some difficulties, especially at the beginning of the transition. It takes patience and a good planning. We have more vegan food and vegan dessert choices the last years, and this will continue to rise in the years to come. The most difficult thing is to really believe that you can replace your old habits forever.

6. What is your favourite recipe?

I love fresh juices, either with vegetables or fruits, which I make in the juicer almost on a daily basis. I also like smoothies. For cooked food, my favourite is grilled vegetables such as sweet potatoes, eggplant and zucchini with various spices, which I usually combine with fresh green vegetables, avocado and tahini.

 

7. Do you have a favourite product to suggest?

The raw vegan chocolate Ombar coconut & vanilla flavor!

 

8. Are you inspired by any animal? If yes, which one?

All dogs! For the energy, the joy and the love that offer.
