Five years ago, I chose the ATAC courses, which had and still have excellent recommendations. Having completed four years of study at the Faculty of Pharmacy, I must say that the information I received during the training was of a high standard. Today, I am fully dedicated to nutritional counseling. In connection with the autoimmune disease I was dealing with at that time, I gained a lot of practical experience, which I try to use along with the theoretical knowledge I acquired through my studies, and I aim to apply all of this in my work with clients. Together with the holistically focused doctor, MUDr. Tereza Feltoni, we founded the Pontina clinic, which serves as a bridge between traditional and holistic medicine, where I work as a nutrition advisor. In 2021, we launched an e-shop called NaturaPura, which is classified among nontoxic e-shops. We focus on super-premium quality dietary supplements without additives, pure foods, nontoxic cosmetics, and cleaning products. Since I live such a lifestyle, I also try to pass on my experiences and insights to my clients. This year, I passed a state examination for nutrition advisors, which I successfully completed. Based on this great experience and also in connection with what I encounter daily in my work, I decided to further my qualifications by studying nutritional therapy. I also expand my knowledge by participating in functional nutrition courses. Diet is a much larger piece of the puzzle composed of lifestyle choices, exercise, circadian rhythms, friendships, family, work, vacation, relaxation, sleep, emotions, with each piece fitting together. Every time we eat, our body receives countless signals that modulate gene expression, hormonal balance, mood, concentration, cognitive functions, immune, and inflammatory response. Diet is not static, but dynamic, and adapts to different situations. A diet is not singular and not forever; diet is a lifestyle.
