I am Lotta, “a 64+” Swedish health freak, living in the Nürnberg area of Germany since 1991.
Welcome to my website and my healthy lifestyle.
From being a marketing manager in Stockholm to a full-time mom in Germany to lecturer at the University and then starting my own retail business, I sometimes forgot about my well being. I have always been an ambition person, but I forgot to put my health as a high priority, simply because I didn’t know better.
Today I am living a totally different life compared to 10 years ago, and I didn’t really know how bad I felt until I felt this good. My mission is to inspire as many of you as possible to change your lifestyle for a healthier and happier life and lower your risk of the many widespread modern diseases.
My grandpa died at 97, so I thought I had great genes, nothing could happen to my health! But genes just play a very small part, unfortunately.
REALITY
The older I got, the harder my body had to work to cope with a modern western lifestyle like fake food, stress, and less exercise. After menopause, I suddenly weighed 12 Kilo too much, with slightly rising blood pressure, bad sleep patterns, sudden mood changes, and a big muffin top stomach. I realized then that I had to do something. This condition is called metabolic syndrome and could be the cause of many diseases.
It was about time to make a change.
THE BIG CHANGE
My daughter had changed her eating habits to no sugar and no bread. I thought at the time that she was crazy, but a couple of months later, after weighing myself again, I decided to try it out.
This was the start of my lifestyle change. No more sugar and no bread. I stopped eating ice cream, cookies, and any sweetened food. I slowly lost weight. After a while I started intermittent fasting and added many more vegetables. Exercise became an everyday element in my life, including yoga, walking, and jogging.
A NEW LIFE
I finally lost the 12 Kilos, but most important, I gained a fantastic life! Now I want to share this with the world!
After experiencing how life-changing this trip has been, I finally sold my business and decided to make Being Healthy my full-time job, to teach others how to change their lifestyle and live a powerful life. My lastest achievements are receiving a Lifestyle Coach License and a Nutrition Adviser Certificate. Recently, I became a Mindfulness Intructor.
We determine our future. We have the power to transform our life. So let’s go for it!

A big thanks to my daughter, Josefine, who showed me the way from the beginning. I love you.
My aim is to live and die healthy!
