My Story

Wonderful to have you here! I'm Lydia, originally from Germany and living with my partner in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In 2023, I decided to become officially certified as an orthomolecular advisor and here I am with the mission to inspire and empower people like you and me to make healthier choices. 

I'm excited to share some insights into my health journey, my love for sports, why I do what I do, and the story of how Favorite Fuel came to be. I believe it is important for you to learn more about me and my background before working with me.

Background

Here's a little background! As a spirited child, my love of soccer became a lifelong passion, resulting in playing for teams in several countries. While playing for Mexico's college team, I learned firsthand the crucial role of nutrition, sleep and training - a realization that came from an unfortunate injury.

During my time in Sweden, inspired by a student friend's healing story thanks to proper nutrition, I began experimenting on myself and experienced a transformative shift toward feeling sharper, happier, healthier and more successful with the result that I finished my master's degree with the title of Best Student Entrepreneur. This new passion led to the creation of Favorite Fuel, a project close to my heart and rooted in orthomolecular therapy.

Passion & Mission

My great passion for exercise and a healthy lifestyle inspired me to learn how to cook, craft my own meals, explore alternative healing methods, including herbal remedies and the power of whole foods.

Today, I integrate my years of experience into my health coaching sessions at Favorite Fuel. As an advocate for healthier living, I find myself inspired to empower others to make healthy lifestyle choices.

With Favorite Fuel, I want to create a world characterised by healthier and happier living, emphasising the importance of nutritious meals, holistic health and a balanced approach to stress, exercise and self-care.
