Ute Wood was born in southern Germany in 1952. As part of her teacher training she attended many nutritionist courses. Although later abandoning teaching she had developed a keen interest in nutrition and always kept up to date on current developments and food trends.

In the early 1980’s she became friends with Dr. Rüdiger Dahlke who suggested she try fasting to stabilise her over-active metabolism. During the following years she learnt more about fasting and later became very interested in its modern twin detox.

As a career woman running her own design business and mother of three, her days were always hectic, but she managed her health and stress levels by religiously doing her morning exercises, even if she just managed ten minutes. A few years ago she discovered the GI diet and fell in love with it as it helped her boost her daily energy levels.

Now she looks forward to welcoming you at Magic Mountain Retreat, a tranquil hideout like no other.
