Professionals with real stories

Balázs Tóth
Founder, psychologist, clinical researcher

Energetic, hopeful and bit of a feeler, I want eating to be humane and enjoyable for everyone, and make our team a good place to be. To prepare, I studied, worked, and researched for over 20 years.

Tried all shapes and sizes

After being an obese child, a thin preteen, and a teen amateur bodybuilder, I was tired of dieting. When I was 15, I began reading scientific articles on PubMed and developed my own dietary method when I was 22.

Research, clients and book

I studied psychology and, as part of my PhD in clinical medicine, developed and researched an earlier version NodietXP on obese children in Hungary. I am currently working on my dissertation. For nearly 9 years, I have been helping adults, children, and families in losing weight and changing their diet. I also co-wrote a book on cultural evolution to help people understand culture and genetics better.

Why I started

I have felt for a long time that NodietXP is bigger than I can represent. I am grateful to all of the wonderful people who came together because I know we have changed it for the better. Every day, this inspires and humbles me.

István Csorba
Dietetics student, summer camp instructor

Motivated, enthusiastic and a bit of a people-pleaser, I have always been an avid food lover and I hope to be able to help others on their eating journey and be a productive member of the team.

Story

After being diagnosed with milk allergy, I had to learn to prepare my food in creative new ways and I started to take an interest in health and nutrition at a young age. To avoid annoying everyone with special requests I have been the one cooking for my family ever since.

Expertise

I am currently pursuing a degree in dietetics and working on prevention programs at a health promotion centre. Outside of university, I have always enjoyed working with children, whether it's tutoring or organizing summer camps, even though they can get on my last nerve at times.

Why I joined

Honestly, I didn't really know what I was getting myself into at first with NodietXP, and I didn't have a clear image of what I wanted to achieve exactly, but I was certain that this was something worth investing time and energy into. I consider myself very fortunate to have met so many wonderful people with fresh and innovative perspectives, and to have learned so much along the way, while still having fun.

Anett Erdész
Psychologist

We all know that every eating-related difficulty has an emotional/psychological component, which is what I hope to represent and target as a psychologist in the group. We cannot grow or progress unless we consciously reflect on our thoughts, feelings, and actions. In the NoDietXP, I am a supporter of that concept. As an energetic person it takes effort for me to be present and conscious of the moments throughout my day. That is what I am attempting to practice and communicate to others.

Story

In my early adult years, I became obsessed with sports and had no idea that I had crossed a healthy line. I became addicted to exercise and was obsessive about my eating habits. I avoided social events and restaurant gatherings just to maintain my eating and exercise regimen. I felt terrible in my body at the same time. I had a perfect image of myself, and despite denying myself so many joyous occasions, that image and reality remained far apart. Finally, I realized that if there is no fun, there is no point. It is critical to enjoying your workouts, meals, and life in general

Expertise

My main interests have been obesity, disordered eating habits, and exercise addiction. Recently, I gained an understanding of recreational sports in all of their facets. For instance, how to stay motivated in the long run, how to enjoy what you do, and how sport and mental health are interconnected.

Why I joined

I got involved with the NodietXP project because I wanted to be a part of something innovative. During my work with clients, I discovered that old-school advice and methods simply do not work. We need a completely new approach in which joy and having fun are not only permitted but encouraged. Working with the NodietXP group inspires me and pushes me out of my comfort zone in many ways. That is an excellent way to grow and learn while also attempting to create something meaningful.

Orsolya Réffy
Psychologist in training, yoga instructor

I am driven by empathy and curiosity. I believe that nature is a beautifully put together system, and the more we live in symbiosis with it, the more fulfilled we can live our lives.

Story

My good relationship with food helped me to find my inner peace. I have come a long way in learning to appreciate my body and meet its needs. But after many years of therapy and research, I can confidently say that this is the area of psychology that attracts me the most, this is the area where I can be of service to others.

Expertise

Helping others, creating value and learning about human behaviors are what motivates me the most in my work, university studies, and volunteering jobs. I love to observe, experiment and learn. I have seen many different life situations and as a psychologist I want to help you find the tools to a fulfilled life.

Why I joined

I am sure that in order to reshape our food culture, we must look to science-based sources for the answer. And since we really are what we eat, we need to start eating exciting and delicious food. For me NodietXP is the key to this, it is something really valuable I am keen to be a part of.
