Alexandra Andersson

Alexandra Andersson, a Swedish native residing in Marbella, Spain, established Fivesec Health in 2017 with her partner, Pontus. Her journey into plant-based living began after experiencing mental unwellness and an unhealthy diet, leading to chronic tiredness and digestive issues. After experimenting with various diets that proved unsustainable, she discovered raw foods and subsequently transitioned to a plant-based diet. This dietary shift significantly improved her physical and mental well-being, resolving issues such as fatigue and indigestion, while also leading to weight loss. Andersson’s primary goal through Fivesec Health is to inspire others to adopt plant-rich diets.

Andersson founded Fivesec Health, which includes an Instagram account, a YouTube channel, and a dedicated app. She holds a Plant Based Nutrition certification from eCornell, which underpins her approach to sharing plant-based knowledge. Her platform provides access to over 500 recipes, meal plans, and instructional videos, all aimed at simplifying plant-based eating. She actively engages her community through initiatives such as annual Plant Based Challenges, which attracted over 10,000 participants in 2023, offering free meal plans and step-by-step guidance.

Her work extends to developing ebooks, such as “EASY VEGAN”, and contributing educational blog posts and plant-based recipes, covering topics from travel guides for healthy vegan living to detailed nutritional information. Andersson’s collaborative efforts include contributing recipes to publications like “Vegan Bowls for Vegan Souls,” where her “Mexican Fiesta Bowl” was featured. She emphasizes that a plant-based diet can be accessible, enjoyable, and beneficial for personal health, animal welfare, and the planet.
