Motivated by the impact of the nutrition industry on our bodies, planet and animals, he started a Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics, which he is currently completing. He really thinks that humans are designed to live between 120 - 140 years (based on the information from our telomeres). He needs sports and exercise in his life, and practises skiing, football, yoga, meditation, surfing, and swimming. Sleeping monitoring is also a key pillar for him: "There is no better medicine than a 7 - 8h proper night of sleep"!
