You have been asking for so Long what I eat before my zone 5 Workouts. As I am food-prepping for me and my son for the week to come, here one of my favourite longevity breakfasts for energy, gut health & long-term vitality 💛

🥣 Ingrédients (I Never measure):

Water
Oats (slow carbs + beta-glucan for heart health)
Chia seeds & flaxseeds (omega-3 + fiber for gut & hormones)
Soy flakes (plant protein + supports muscle & metabolism)
Cacao nibs (antioxidants + magnesium boost)
Coconut milk (healthy fats for sustained energy)
Dates (natural sweetness + potassium but mind eating them alone as they do create insuline Spikes)

🍓 I top it with strawberries, blueberries or blackberries depending on the season and what I have at home → extra antioxidants & vitamins

Things I Learned This Year About Longevity, Energy & Protecting My Peace.

Today I turn 41.
And this year taught me that longevity isn’t just about living longer… It’s about living smarter.

Here are the things I learnt:

1. Your nervous system is your real anti-aging secret. Protect it at all costs. First is you, then is work.

2. Sleep is not lazy. It’s leadership and becoming a sleeping professional made my energy rise

3. Strength training is non-negotiable after 40. Muscle = metabolic youth.

4. If it spikes your cortisol daily, it’s aging you. Means: don’t skip breakfast!

5. Peace is prettier than drama. Prevent toxicity by spotting narcisists and avoidants.

6. An Active Flow fixes more than we give it credit for. I work a bit even when on vacation and have less stress overall.

7. Protein is not optional, but from natural foods and there is way more than meat out there!

8. Boundaries are a health strategy. Be clear and set values, and ask for what you want. Clear uncertainties from relationships (time and unmet expectations saver)

9. If your body feels tense around someone or something, listen. Don’t ignore red flags and do more of what you align with.

10. Lifting heavy builds more than muscle — it builds resilience both mentally and physically.

11. You don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to. Energy goes where your Focus goes, you won’t change people so why investing energy.

12. Morning light > scrolling. I still struggle with Swiss depressing Winters (the Swiss system is designed for machines, not to create happy humans). Quality time with loved ones is a Great replacement and I do love my son!

13. The right women in your circle will extend your lifespan. I don’t know about men though, this area is a work in progress 😂 as it’s rare to find a man who can support a relationship with a mom of a toddler. It needs to be a man with more stamina than average….

14. Stress shows up first in the face… and in the gut. Botox won’t fix your Stress Management, gratefulness and believes will (bless my yoga journey and Ayahuasca, i would not have survived the anti-human closeness of this country otherwise)

Love aging wisely! 🤘🥳

After catching up with a great Soul and international Artist After 10 years I Today I realised what an adventurous life I had so far!
Let’s recap:
- Born and raised in Italy, became a curious university Students in Germany and PhD creative poetry researcher, supporting my research & life with no grants through sports, languages, cooking Workshops and the Arts. Met amazing souls, traveled a ton, dared my way to Freedom and After ayahuasca dared to lead holistic retreats internationally.
I landed via Maldives and Cyprus in Zanzibar, spent 4 wonderful years there that taught me the most on hunanity, became a longevity expert - karma balanced out my naivity with the wrong man to follow to Switzerland yet I am a Solo mum of a wise Little toddler called Neo. I am still leading Workshops and Yoga and Fitness classes and apply creativity to Daily Problem solving while I get the Honor this year to be a Language and Art teacher in Swiss Public School.
I mean…. I am just so in love with LIFE! Getting to experience all of it in one Ride ❤️

Intuition moves the world.
I am learning from my kid to unlearn the conditionings of reason and allowing my inner guidance to lead the way.
It’s a lifelong process. I had it and lost it for fear some years ago.
I want to be fearless. Freedom takes courage.
