Own Your Health Story (EP 89)
I continue my conversation with Caroline Kreiger, who shares her journey through health challenges stemming from her pursuit of perfect wellness. We discuss her recovery following a health crisis and her transformative move to Spain. Caroline emphasizes the importance of individual health paths and listening to one's body, advocating for mindful practices over strict rules. Through her initiative, "Superwoman Health," she inspires listeners to take proactive steps toward holistic well-being, reinforcing that progress is attainable, one small step at a time.
In Part 2 of my conversation with Carlijn Krigjer, we shift from the struggle to the solutions. Carlijn picks up where we left off and walks me through how she completely turned her health around—by tuning into her body, aligning with natural rhythms, and questioning a lot of what we’re told about “healthy living.”
We get into everything from sunlight and circadian health to diet, water quality, and gut health—and she doesn’t hold back on challenging conventional wisdom. Whether it’s wearable tech, probiotics, or even how we drink water, this episode is all about rethinking what it really means to be healthy and finding what actually works for you.

Founder of Superwoman
Carlijn has always been obsessed with learning about health. At the age of 10 she was already learning X-rays on horses. However, at 20 she collapsed. Even though everything looked perfect on the outside, perfect grades, modelling, eating clean and looking fit, she felt chronically tired, bloated, she started having eczema, hair loss and even her period disappeared for an entire year. No doctor could help her. She completely healed her body naturally and every area of her life has changed exponentially ever since. She's able to show up in her full potential, and now teaching other women to heal their bodies and do the same. To be a superwoman.
