How I got here
The love of my life is long-distance running. I started running seriously in my late 20s, ran two marathons — Tel Aviv 2013 and Paris 2014 — and I'm still trying to get into the New York City Marathon.
Beyond running, you'll find me in the gym a few times a week, or working on handstands along the Tel Aviv promenade.
When I realized that vegan nutrition in sports was a field full of opinions and short on science, I decided to study it seriously. I completed the sports nutrition program at Wingate and earned my running and strength coach certifications.
"I don't believe in shortcuts — I believe in what you can sustain for the long haul."
3 principles behind every recommendation
Research-based
Every recommendation is grounded in academic sports nutrition — not trends, not what works for influencers.
Simple and clear
No expensive products, no exotic supplements. Everything comes from your local supermarket, explained in plain language.
Built to last
No crash diets. We build habits that stick for years — because that's what truly changes your body and your performance.
