From Munich to Miami to India and back to what matters
The story of how ancient wisdom and modern crisis built the M3 System
For most of my life, I have been focused on one thing: how the body, mind, and daily habits actually work together. Not in theory. In practice. Through decades of helping others — and then having to rebuild my own health from the ground up.
My path was not a straight line. It developed over decades, through practice, business, education, personal crisis, and transformation. Here is the full story.
Munich, 1990s
The Health Education Roots
In the 80s, I was a triathlete. Marathons, soccer, watersports. I learned early how much nutrition matters for performance. In the 90s, I co-owned a Body and Health studio in Munich with my brother. That is where I truly learned how nutrition and exercise change lives. I then became CEO of the Paracelsus Schools — Europe’s largest naturopathy school network: 60 schools across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, educating 6,000 health professionals.
60 schools. 6,000 students. A career built on teaching people how to heal.
Miami, 2000–2020
The High-Performance Chapter
In 2000, I moved to Miami. And I will be honest: I did not always live healthy there. I ate too much, I drank too much, I stayed up too late. I gained weight and lost energy. On the professional side, I built a portfolio across real estate, investment consulting, international media as Vice President of Le City Deluxe International, and luxury yachting as CEO and founder of House Yacht Living. From the outside, it was success. Inside, I was not fulfilled. My body was keeping score of every neglected night and skipped recovery.
15 years of building businesses at full intensity. The body kept score.
2020–2021
The Crisis That Changed Everything
When COVID hit, I co-founded Supply Disaster — a company supplying PPE to hospitals, military, and governments worldwide. I ran a warehouse in Miami during the worst of the pandemic. The work was critical and meaningful. The stress was immense and sustained. By the time it was over, the signals were impossible to ignore. Energy crashes. Brain fog. A body that no longer responded the way it used to. I realized: what truly mattered to me was not the money or the titles. It was my health, my spirit, and my energy.
Berlin, India & Bali, 2022–2025
The Rebuilding
I moved to Berlin and returned to my health education roots. Re-certified as a naturopath. Completed certification as a Health, Nutrition, and Life Coach at Harmony Power School in Berlin. Then I went deeper: Ayurveda training in India. Yoga teacher training in Rishikesh — the birthplace of yoga — and in Bali at House of Om with Yoga Alliance International, focusing on therapeutic yoga with a complementary healing approach. What I discovered was striking: the ancient practitioners had identified the same principles that modern researchers were now validating in labs. Ayurvedic digestive wisdom maps to circadian metabolic research. Yogic breathing activates the same pathways described by modern vagus nerve science. The M3 System is the practical translation of this convergence.
Today
The M3 System
I bring together athletic training, nutrition, natural medicine, yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and coaching into one complete system. The M3 System is the synthesis of more than three decades of health education, international business experience, and personal transformation — distilled into a structured daily practice that works in real life. Ancient wisdom, backed by modern science. Currently developing a Charity Foundation in Berlin and New York, bridging conventional and integrative approaches to health.
