Introduction Edwin Bas - Lifestyle Specialist
From the Amazon to Ergomax: Welcome Edwin Bas, our new health specialist
Sometimes special collaborations arise in unexpected places. For us, it began in the jungles of Brazil — a place without Wi-Fi, schedules, or distractions, but full of life wisdom, connection, and ancient knowledge about health. There, in the heart of the Amazon, a meeting took place that would lead to a special addition to the Ergomax team: Edwin Bas.
A meeting in the jungle
I (Wiggert) first met Edwin in Ibiza. He was there on holiday with his family; I was traveling with a Brazilian shaman, a tribal chief from the Amazon, who had taken me into seclusion for weeks. My stories about life in the jungle, plant medicine, and natural rhythms resonated with Edwin — not surprising, given his background as a biochemist and lifestyle medicine specialist.
A few months later, we were on a plane together to Brazil. Destination: the homeland of the Huni Kuin, an indigenous tribe in the remote Acre region. What Edwin saw and felt there would forever change his view of health.
From science to wisdom – and back
Edwin Bas has an impressive résumé. For years he worked in conventional healthcare, in national and international management positions at a large pharmaceutical company and a leading market research firm. But his passion lies in integrating conventional and complementary medicine. He sees stress as one of the biggest disruptors of our system and approaches health from multiple dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual.
The Amazon brought him back to the essence. He saw how nutrition, rhythm, and community spirit literally make the difference between illness and vitality. While Western societies struggle with chronic complaints, these tribes live in harmony with their environment and without lifestyle diseases.
Knowledge that connects
With this experience, Edwin developed the Allfit Academy: a well-founded and practical model on lifestyle, nutrition, and supplements. He gives lectures, trainings, coaching, and education. He is also a teacher and co-developer of the Nutrition and Lifestyle Advisor program at Capabel Onderwijs.
His strength? Combining scientific depth with human connection. No dogmas, no quick fixes, but sustainable insights for those who want to take responsibility for their health.
A valuable addition to the Ergomax team
We are proud to welcome Edwin Bas as an official Ergomax Specialist. He will focus on sharing knowledge about health, lifestyle, and supplements. Through blogs, webinars, consultations, and in-depth content, Edwin will contribute to our mission: helping people become the best version of themselves, with natural and scientifically grounded resources.
