First, I listen.
A plan built without knowing what your days look like, what is actually in your kitchen, what time you get home — that plan stays on paper. So the first session isn't a list. It's a conversation.
Food is care, not punishment.
Someone on night shifts cannot keep the same meal times as someone working from home. What a body needs in pregnancy is not what it needs during a training block. If a plan ignores that, the problem is not you.
For ten years I looked at food as an engineer — what is in it, how it is processed, what happens to it. Then I started asking the same questions from the human side. Together they lead to one conclusion: there is no such thing as the right food, only the food that is right for you.

Most people who come to me have tried something before and feel embarrassed that they stopped. Let me say this at the start: if you stopped, the plan didn't fit you. You didn't fail the plan.

Between the science of food and the needs of a person.
I graduated in Food Engineering from Ege Üniversitesi and spent years working as an engineer at leading Turkish food companies before completing a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at İstanbul Sağlık ve Teknoloji Üniversitesi. Along the way I finished two master's degrees, in Engineering Management and in Food Engineering. In 2026 I began a doctorate in the same field at İstanbul Aydın Üniversitesi.
