🙋‍♀️About Me
Hi, I’m Minna. I have been living the Medical Medium® lifestyle since 2016, and daily I am leading a fat-free Medical Medium® diet without any troublemaker or filler foods.

I have done close to all the Medical Medium® cleanses, and I’ve learned a lot since 2016. Here on this channel, I’m sharing it all with you!

I believe that tasty and easily accessible food is the key to successfully sticking to a diet.

I share flavor-packed, fat-free vegan, dairy-free recipes without gluten or Medical Medium® troublemaker foods.

I use whole foods for my recipes and stay away from dairy and meat replacements. All recipes are without oil, nuts, seeds, legumes/pulses, vinegar, soy, corn, refined sugar, and MSG, such as nutritional yeast or natural flavoring.

Looking forward to seeing you around
💚Minna

  1. ​I am so excited to finally share this Lisbon guide with you! Choosing a favorite was hard, but that 12-course dinner at Encanto was an experience I'll never forget. 💚

    ​Quick update for your planning: I visited in April 2025, and while most of these gems are thriving (Encanto just received a Michelin Green Star! 🌿⭐), I’ve learned that My Mother's Daughters has unfortunately closed since my visit.

    ​If you’re planning a trip to Lisbon, which of these spots looks like your first stop? Or if you’ve been there—did I miss any of your favorites? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇✨

  2. Omgoodness! Everything looks so delicious! Sounds like it was a fantastic trip! Thank you for sharing this with us Minna, and for documenting everything so incredibly well! God bless you and your husband

  3. Thank you for this interesting video! 👏Was everything gluten free at Encanto too, even the ravioli? And how did your body tolerate the fermented drinks? And the polenta on an earlier occasion? I think your followers are mostly MM-folks and so am I. Still keeping myself away from all NO FOODS and all trouble makers after 9 years with MM and I am very glad you don't have to be as strict as I need to.👍🌟🤩 Greetings from Sweden. 🫶🌸

  4. Tak for inspirerende video.. liste over spisesteder. De retter ser godt lækre ud. Siden de kalder sig vegansk og glutenfrie, oplever jeg at det altid er soya og raps olie i. Det synes jeg er svært at finde i DK.. Oplevede du disse ballademagere over i Lissabon?

    Hvordan søgte du veganske spisesteder når du er i nyt feriested ? hvilken tidspunkt var du derover ?

  5. I really enjoyed this, especially seeing all the Michelin dishes. Now I want to visit Portugal!
