Isn’t it more comfortable to stay in our own psychic bubble that shields us from reality, and keeps us from confronting our personal trauma that would only unleash emotional storms we might not be able to handle?

We live under the illusion of a “credit mentality” leading us to believe that we can get joy, health and happiness without taking full responsibility for our lives. In reality, you can do whatever you want, but pay day always comes.

The current obesity epidemic is the result of multiple, complex and interacting dynamics, which have progressively converged to produce lasting changes in people’s lifestyles.

The most deadly weapons ever used by humanity are not firearms, bombs or even nuclear weapons, but simply our forks and knives!

If a healthy person is addicted to overeating, the solution generally is not just to abstain from food, but to understand why overconsumption of food is taking place at first place.

Developed by Swiss doctor Maximilian-Max Bircher-Benner as Apfeldiätspeise (Apple Diet Meal) in 1900s, Muesli was never a breakfast idea, nor a quick snack swallowed in a hurry between appointments. Muesli was intended as a starter to every meal: breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!

When we look at the world today from the perspective of health, what do we see?

Preaching to people about changing their self-destructive lifestyles won't achieve anything unless the emotional dynamics driving those behaviors are understood and addressed.

Take responsibility now! Our tendency to overeat has a self-soothing function covering up unresolved emotional issues.

Dr. Katarina Melzer’s journey from childhood to current promotion of healthy lifestyle as an expert, consultant and lecturer in nutrition and physiology.

In the last 70 years, life expectancy has increased by more than 20 years. However, out of these 20 years that we live longer, we spend an entire decade in poor health or even disability. Where do we do wrong?

As every year, great being back at ESPEN again, lecturing and exchanging ideas with many brilliant minds, this time in the wonderful town of Krakow, Poland.

While we may be the most comfortable and abundant generation in human history, we certainly are not the most happy, healthy and satisfied. Our longing for an effortless life, free from physical exertion and abundant in fast, energy–rich food comes with a high price tag.

Eating is one of the most fundamental processes of life. Yet, no generation before ours has been so confused as to what, when and how much to eat.

Dr. Melzer lectures on two occasions at the European Society for Nutrition and Metabolism Congress (ESPEN) 2019 in Krakow.

Research has provided new information on how healthy pregnant women and their fetuses respond to moderate physical activity, showing no adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes.

Malnutrition results from low-quality diets that contain either insufficient calories, vitamins and minerals or too many calories, saturated fats, salt and sugar and, in both cases, significantly increases the risk of morbidity and mortality.

Although the worldwide hunger rate has fallen in the past 25 years, no country has ever successfully reversed growth of obesity once it has been allowed to develop.

Dr. Melzer co-authors the 5th edition of the ESPEN Blue Book, an important source of knowledge and up-to-date information for physicians, dieticians, pharmacists, nurses and students that aims to improve practice in nutrition and metabolism worldwide.

The end of 2018 was marked by Dr Melzer’s lecture at the 40th European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) Congress, where she focused on energy balance regulation in athletic and non-athletic populations.

We are living in an era of self-destructive behavior. Our longing for an effortless life, free from physical exertion and abundant in fast, energy–rich and nutritionally impoverished food comes with a high price tag.
