Hi, I’m Konstanze — scientist, nutrition student, and human who has been through some stuff.
For years, I worked in high-tech research, simulation, and automation. I’ve got a degree in Mathematics and a PhD in aeronautical engineering — yes, technically rocket science.
My brain still lights up when I get to connect dots, solve puzzles, or optimize systems. But I’ve learned that plenty of things in life transcend rocket science.
Which, let’s be honest, tends to be fairly straightforward once you understand the principles (stone me if you wish, engineers who read this).
And yet, a few years ago, life threw me a challenge that logic alone couldn’t solve:
Post-Covid (PASC).
When Life Hits Pause
Everything shifted in the space of a few months.
My energy. My priorities. My relationship with my body. First I had to stop riding my beloved road bike. Then followed an extended inability to work. Worst of all — as someone who had always defined herself by her cognitive strength — I lost access to my thinking mind.
For a long time, I tried to fix it. I experimented. I pushed. I hoped for shortcuts.
And then, eventually… I stopped fighting.
It wasn’t strategy that turned things around — it was surrender. A kind of deep, reluctant acceptance. And from that space, a slow rebuilding began.
I realized real health isn’t something you “hack” with willpower or perfect routines. It’s something you build — gently, over time.
With rhythm, rest and enough kindness to keep going, even when things get hard again.
My Nutrition Journey Started Long Before
But let’s rewind a little.
Before post-Covid, I’d already spent years exploring healthy eating.
In my early 20s, I lost a significant amount of weight — and more importantly, kept it stable ever since. That journey sparked a deep interest in how food, movement, and biology shape our lives — and a love for cooking that never left me.
I’ve lived in several countries, and I found it fascinating how each place shaped not only what I ate, but how I thought about food.
I love experimenting in the kitchen, mixing ingredients and traditions from around the world — because food isn’t just fuel or function. It brings people together.
Once, while traveling in Turkey, an old farmer couple hitchhiked in our rental car.
They later invited us to their home and served us the most delicious meal — all without a single shared word between us.
Moments like that remind me how deeply human food really is.
So the truth is that nutrition has been a long-standing passion.
At university, I almost pursued a double degree in Microbiology and Mathematics. (My professor called me insane — but this is just who I am.)
Multipassionate. Curious. Wired to connect dots.
What I Do Now
I’m studying Nutritional Science and creating tools, content, and coaching offers for women — especially those who feel like they’re always “starting over.”
This latest chapter has kicked off something much bigger than a degree.
I’m on an adventure — and I don’t quite know where it will lead yet.
But I’m following the breadcrumbs: of curiosity, of meaning, of what feels both light and real.
I believe health isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about learning how to listen.
And I want to help you translate what your body is really saying.
What You’ll Find Here
- Healthspan over lifespan — because living longer means little if we’re not thriving
- Sustainable nutrition habits that fit into real, messy lives
- Gentle biohacking for women — cyclical, compassionate, and data-informed
- Baking — because joy and nourishment go hand in hand
- The deep stuff — identity, meaning, burnout, and why change is so hard
I’m Not Here to Preach
I’m not here to preach, prescribe, or promise magic bullets.
But I will share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning).
I’ll bring the science — and the stories.
And I’ll hold space for the messy, brilliant, imperfect human you are.
Welcome
Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
Let’s build something real — together.
