We recently connected with Karsten Bie Jensen and have shared our conversation below.
Karsten Bie, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
More than 17 years ago my wife and I got an opportunity to invest in a guesthouse in the Maldives.
I had previously been on a business trip to the Maldives due to my background as a high end chef, product developer and consultant. A Danish company asked me to join them. Checking the local reef fish was one of our targets.
Karin and I went there to check the facilities and meet the people involved in the guesthouse project.
Habeeb was the person who reached out to me about the opportunity. I met him when we did the business trip.
After 1 week in the Maldives we looked at each other, quite intensely, and agreed = Let’s do it.
When not in Henderson, Nevada – the Maldives is our base and has been for 15 years next January.
Karsten Bie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Karsten Bie Jensen, and together with my wife Karin we created the Bies Diet. Karin first started working with food as medicine before we met, and when we came together it developed into the system we now share.
The Bies Diet is simple but powerful: for 8 weeks, clients eat 3 teaspoons a day of specific plant-based foods that we recommend individually. Each plan is customized, and this precision makes the method both highly effective and very easy to follow.
Over the years we have seen people free themselves from conditions such as migraine, arthritis, skin disorders, digestive issues, inflammation, and even long-term fatigue. What we deliver is clarity – a focused, structured approach that shows how food can actively heal.
I am proud that there is really nothing else like this. The Bies Diet is technically developed to run fully online, so we can reach people anywhere in the world with personal guidance. It’s not a trend or a fad – it’s a method that works and gives results people can feel in their daily lives.
And perhaps most important: the timing feels right. Health is in need of a fresh perspective, and we are ready to be part of that shift.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
There’s something beyond rational nutrition guidelines.
It’s the power behind Bies Diet.
It’s down to Earth and works timely and efficiently.
We have seen first-hand how food can heal and transform lives. Discover more about Bies Diet and our journey at www.bies25.com
Have you ever had to pivot?
The one incident I would like to share is private … and then later professional.
I met my wife at the culinary institute in Copenhagen in the early 80s.
I was a student, she was a teacher.
We connected and bonded at a deeper level than any of us had experienced before. But remained friends.
The turning point came years later when we moved in together.
She had 2 children. They were 10 and 11 yrs.
Becoming a full member of that family and prioritizing that as the number one thing in my life, is the single one decision that has had the greatest impact on me and later my professional life.
