The health of people, animals and the planet begins with the systems that connect us — and food is at the heart of them.
I am Dr Eleonore, a veterinarian, conservationist, food safety specialist and plant-based chef. My work brings together veterinary medicine, nutrition, food safety and environmental sustainability to explore one fundamental question:
How can we nourish life without compromising the health of people, animals or the planet?
From the food we feed our pets to the food we put on our own plates, and from the way we produce and handle food to the impact it has on ecosystems, our choices matter.
Through One Health, I help connect the dots between individual health, food systems and planetary wellbeing — turning scientific knowledge and real-world experience into practical solutions.
Human health cannot be separated from animal health or the environment we share.
As a veterinarian who has worked across different countries and conservation settings, I have witnessed first-hand the consequences of our relationship with animals, food production and the natural world.
My approach combines scientific thinking with a practical understanding of how food is produced, prepared, handled and consumed.
I believe that food can be one of our most powerful tools for positive change.
A varied diet built around vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds and other minimally processed plant foods can support human health while helping reduce the environmental footprint of many dietary patterns.
Reducing excessive reliance on animal products, particularly those associated with resource-intensive production systems, can also contribute to lower environmental impacts. At the same time, responsible food choices must consider nutritional needs, food safety, accessibility and the wider context of each food system.
My philosophy is simple: eat more real food, explore the extraordinary diversity of the plant kingdom and make choices that nourish both people and the planet.
As a plant-based chef, I translate these principles into creative, colourful and flavourful food experiences. Because sustainable eating should not feel like deprivation. It should inspire curiosity, pleasure and a deeper connection with what we eat.
Food can be both a source of pleasure and a force for change.
My professional journey has taken me beyond the veterinary clinic and into conservation and animal welfare projects around the world.
Working with animals and witnessing environmental challenges in different countries has shaped the way I understand health. Wildlife, domestic animals, humans and ecosystems are not separate worlds. They are part of the same living system.
Plastic pollution, food waste, habitat destruction and unsustainable production practices are not simply environmental problems. They can have consequences for animal welfare, ecosystem integrity and human wellbeing.
These experiences have led me to look beyond treating individual problems and towards addressing some of their wider causes.
