Christof Twickler · Food scientist

I spent 20 years developing food products. Today I tell you what is really inside.

Six years ago I walked away. No plan B. Since then my days revolve around real food, essential oils and a business I designed myself.

What I pass on here is sourced. Not believed.

Three routes, one foundation

Where do you want to start?

Most people arrive for one topic and stay for the other two. Just pick whatever is on your mind right now.

Nutrition · Gesund.Klar.Geniessen.

Real food, properly explained

Clean eating without dogma. Why ultra-processed products wear you down, why supplements belong in the picture today, and how to make both work in a normal week. Every claim with a source.

Essential oils

My anchor in daily life

Why I no longer want a single day without essential oils. How to recognise quality, the three routes of application, and a sensible place to begin.

Business · Echt.Gesund.Business.

Your pace. Your decision.

A small side income alongside your job. Or a completely different way of living. Both work — and the best part is that you can change your mind at any time.

My story

The day I walked out

I sat in meetings about recipes I would not have served to my own family. For two decades that was my job. I knew what every ingredient cost, what it promised and what it delivered. Usually those were not the same thing.

Six years ago I stopped. What followed turned my life inside out: a different way of eating, a business with nothing in common with my old career, and essential oils that went from an experiment to a foundation.

I am not selling you a miracle. I tell you what I know — and where I know it from.

What network marketing really costs, what it demands and what it depends on. Without promising numbers.

From the blog

Keep reading

Every article also exists as a short version on Instagram. This is the long one — with the sources that do not fit into a carousel.

Have you read one of my books?

Your bonus material is waiting

Both books come with material that did not fit into print: printable blends, the full source list and an open invitation to talk if reading raised questions.

As a pair

I am one half of Couple of Oils

Together with Annika I am Couple of Oils. That is where we host our oil evenings on the Elbe, support our community and pass on what works for us. Here on oil-expert I write as an individual — there we are two.

So we understand each other

What you will not find here

No health claims

Essential oils and food do not cure anything. If you are ill, see a doctor. I tell you how I use them in everyday life.

No income promises

What someone earns in network marketing depends on their work. You will not find numbers here that suggest otherwise.

No pressure

No countdown, no last remaining seat, no guilt. You decide at your own pace — or not at all.

The first step

Let's talk.

One conversation, 30 minutes, free of charge. Afterwards you know whether this is for you. And I know whether I can actually help.

Not a sales call. If I am no use to you, I will say so.
