Virgile
Plant Nutrition Chef & Researcher.
I formulate foods that transform what we feel and think.
The path
Prep school, business school, then dropping everything at 21. Russia, China, painting, photography, Paris — years of searching without knowing for what.
Then a depression that brings me back to the essential: what are we putting into this body?
The answer came through food. By radically changing what I was eating, everything changed — energy, mental clarity, emotions, relationship with the living world. It wasn't a diet. It was a revelation.
20 years later, this revelation has become an expertise. Nootropic formulations targeted by neurotransmitter. Medicinal cuisine for international retreats. Research on the link between food, biochemistry and consciousness.

What I believe
I discovered that there is a way to nourish ourselves that is smarter, gentler and more alive than anything I had been taught.
Food is the most underestimated intelligence in the world. What we eat shapes our thoughts, our vitality, our consciousness — and our bond with the earth.
I believe the answer lies in the plant kingdom — through the abundance, elegance and ingenuity of the living world.
