In this episode, I step slightly off the roof and into the kitchen.

I’m joined by Katharina Burger-Holzer, a holistic nutrition coach based in Austria and founder of Eat4Life (eat4life.at). We talk about how food, sleep, stress and movement impact your ability to show up and do demanding work in the solar industry – and why the sun isn’t just hitting your panels, it’s also feeding your body.

Conversation

  • How Katharina’s journey started with yoga, Ayurveda, and her mother’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis
  • Why processed food in the U.S. wrecked her whole family’s gut in one trip
  • The brutal truth about “eat less, move more” – and why it fails after 40
  • Why men are “easy mode” nutritionally and women 40+ need a very different approach
  • Sleep, stress, and the Chinese medicine clock (including why I kept waking up at 1 AM)
  • The power of real food, sourdough, and traditional preparation vs. industrial bread
  • How to start with the basics: sleep, movement, cooking simple, real food, and chewing properly

If you work in solar – climbing ladders, standing on pitched roofs, troubleshooting in the field, or grinding at a desk – your body is your primary asset. This conversation might be the nudge you need to stop living on junk and start treating yourself like a long-term project.
