Nutritional Therapist & Yoga Teacher in Barcelona | Mario Suter

A More Practical Approach to Nutrition and Wellbeing

I grew up in Switzerland, surrounded by nature, but always with a strong curiosity to explore beyond it. In my early twenties, I spent time travelling through New Zealand and India, where I was first introduced to yoga, meditation, and different approaches to health and wellbeing.

At the same time, I was dealing with ongoing back pain and digestive issues. Like many people, I initially focused on managing symptoms. But over time, I became more interested in understanding the underlying causes.

That shift led me to explore nutrition more seriously.

From Personal Experience to Professional Practice

My perspective changed further after experiencing more severe health challenges, including significant digestive issues during my travels and later two herniated discs. Conventional approaches provided limited long-term improvement, which pushed me to take a more active role in understanding how nutrition, movement, and lifestyle interact.

What became clear was not a quick fix, but something more practical:
consistent habits, better structure, and a more supportive environment for the body.

Over time, by improving how I ate, moved, and recovered, I was able to regain energy, reduce symptoms, and return to a more active and stable baseline.

How I Work Today

Today, I work as a nutritional therapist and yoga teacher based in Barcelona, supporting individuals and corporate clients with a practical, structured approach to nutrition, energy, and wellbeing.

My focus is on:

  • improving energy and reducing fatigue

  • supporting gut health and digestion

  • building sustainable nutrition habits

  • supporting performance and recovery

I combine evidence-based nutrition with real-world application. No extremes, no unnecessary restrictions, just approaches that fit into your day-to-day life.

Working Together

I work with clients in Barcelona and online, particularly those who prefer working in English and are looking for clear, practical guidance.

If you’re looking to improve your energy, health, or performance through a more structured approach to nutrition, you can learn more about working together or book a short introductory call.
