How it all started —
and why I didn't stop.
Me, 16 years old,
and the first time at the gym.
I first went to the gym at 16. Not because I necessarily wanted to get "in shape" but because 13 years of soccer had left their mark and I had to take care of my knees.
Over the years, training became an integral part of my life. Not as a chore, but as something I look forward to. I learned that success comes from joy, not from torment. This realization still shapes my coaching approach today.
Vegetarianism; The First
Real Turning Point.
I grew up with, even though I hate the word, "farm animals" and always knew where my food came from. But at some point, my conscience started bothering me more and more. The more I thought about it, the stronger the feeling became that eating meat just wasn't right for me anymore.
So I made a decision: I became vegetarian. Not because it was a trend, but because it felt right to me at that moment.
In retrospect, that was the first step that completely changed my view on diet and consumption in general.
February 2022.
100% vegan. And no turning back.
In February 2022, I decided to go vegan. For me, it was the logical progression from my previous vegetarian lifestyle. If you truly think the issue through, there's hardly any way around a vegan lifestyle, and there's no argument against it.
What happened next surprised even me: my training improved. I had more energy, and my digestion got much better. And the food? That suddenly became even more fun than before. I had to get creative again to cook my favorite dishes in a vegan and protein-rich way.
@vegan_high_protein —
because the gap was huge.
I started documenting my recipes. Not because I wanted to become an "influencer" – a word I still dislike to this day – but because I realized that this combination of vegan and high-protein barely existed in the German-speaking world.
The first post was bad. So were the next twenty. Nevertheless, I kept at it because it quickly became clear: there was a lot of interest in the topic.
Three years later: over 600,000 followers, more than 300 recipes, and countless messages from people who write:
"This is the first time I've enjoyed vegan and high-protein dishes."
Even though it's hard for me to be proud of things:
This is really cool, and I never would have expected it!

And far from finished.

Not through deprivation or strict diets, but through plans that truly fit people's lives.
