Astor Schneider, Nutrition Consultant in Zurich

What I teach, I live.

As a former competitive athlete, I know what it feels like when nutrition becomes a puzzle. For years, I treated my body like a machine. Until I understood: it isn't one.

Ayurveda expert

From competitive athlete to nutrition consultant

I ran through plenty of diets.

None of them lasted. Professional football player. National team. World Bowl Champion. My body was my capital — and I fuelled it with every nutrition approach imaginable. But did I truly understand what was happening? No.

Then I stopped following plans — and started reading my body. Ayurveda didn't give me a new rulebook — it gave me a new sense of my body. Physical and mental. Stable energy. Real quality of life. That's what led me to integrate the Ayurvedic lifestyle fully into my life.

Philosophy

Nutrition should carry you — not stress you.

No calorie counting. No forbidden lists. No dogma.

I don't give you a nutrition plan to follow blindly. I show you how to read your body. What do you need — today, in this season, in your current life situation? All factors count. Not just what's on the plate.

The goal isn't the perfect diet. The goal is confidence in your relationship with food.

My values

What Schneider Ayurveda stands for.

  • Authenticity.

    What I teach, I live myself. No theory I haven't tested on my own body.

  • Clarity.

    I tell you what's what — not what you want to hear. Direct, honest, and on equal terms.

  • Personal responsibility.

    I give you the compass and the map. You reach the summit yourself — certain you're on the right path.

'I work with people who take their wellbeing and performance into their own hands — consciously, competently, responsibly.'
