PhD, Senior Scientist & Author

Anette's mission is to change your view on your body and health. Radically!

She wants to share her ‘biological logic’ at a high scientific level, yet in a fascinating, ‘digestible’ and humoristic way empowering you to become your own health expert.

Forget about calories, fear of diseases, food restrictions and pointing fingers.

Discover your bodys fascinating biology and avoid blocking your endogenous health promotion mechanisms!

We all need to know the human health promoting biology, yet we may not need to act the same way!

THE VISION

For more than 13 years, it has been my great passion to research biological processes to develop good ideas for new drugs that normalize blood sugar, reduce the risk of high blood sugar and repair the damage that high blood sugar has caused in the body. I have had the absolute best job in the world as a researcher, specialist and director at Novo Nordisk. I have loved the research so much that I regularly forgot to go to bed because I was caught up in an intriguing article or intriguing results.

A few years ago, I realized that the biological mechanisms we so dedicatedly mimic with medicine can be strengthened with completely different adjustments to everyday life than we routinely assume. I could even make it stick together purely scientifically.

Today, taking responsibility for one's own health has become a complex task. For what should one gradually confess to in a world filled with conflicting and often directly harmful dogmas and religions about health? There is a lack of solid knowledge about health that can be used at all levels - and in all situations. Because even though we want to make health black and white and the same for everyone, it is actually situational!

My ambition is to equip the individual, the employee, the workplace and society with real research-based knowledge - in an easily accessible version - which makes it possible to take responsibility, act and create healthier everyday lives with all the positive effects that fortunately follow.

Your body is competent. So are you. And after meeting my book, lectures and courses for individuals, I hope you will experience independence and freedom for health!

THE MISSION

My new mission is therefore to,

  • Establish health skills through biological logic and fascination.
  • Create awareness of the health opportunities we overlook as human beings and as a society.
  • Growth in the number of ex-diabetics.
  • Health skills of for next generation.
  • Health skills for anyone who wants it.

Curious to better understand the interplay between sugar and the body?

Then read my book, ‘The Truth About Sugar‘.

The Truth about Sugar‘ is the first educational book about sugar’s biology in the human body. It is written for all adults with a genuine interest in health and in sugar’s fascinating journey in the human body.

Dietary advice divides us – but we should stand together and change them

Dietary advice divides us – but we should stand together and change them

Who are we to blame when the world seems unreasonable? Because we have created a way of being together, where we throw with reproaches, and where finding someone we can scold is the best way to a good press story – and the only way to awakening and action. And where taking responsibility for reversing a clear mistake is the same as taking the blame […]

Empty health instructions or real health skills – what do you want most?

Empty health instructions or real health skills – what do you want most?

When we have to do something new and different than we usually do, it is fundamental in us that we want to know why. This is also precisely why empty instructions typically create resistance, while knowledge, skills and trust in us as individuals create meaning and activate our desire to take personal ownership and co-responsibility. And, of course, that also applies when it comes to […]
