NEW BOOK RELEASE: YOU ARE ENERGY ● THE FIVE ELEMENT THEORY

More than ten years ago, I had an idea and a message I wanted to share: that you are energy, that you are the fifth element, and that every living being has more influence over the reality they create than often realized. I decided to express that message through a company, creating the original Five Element Smoothies and used them as a way to open conversations about conscious consumption, energy, health and how we choose to live.

The experience taught me so much, especially that if we want to change the world, all we have to do is change ourselves. Over the past ten years, I have continued to share this understanding through all my different ventures, always coming back to the same message: you are energy. Now, 2026, I have translated that message into a book. So, if you wish to raise your energy, create better life experiences, and discover the original Five Element Smoothie recipes, get your copy below. Enjoy the read, bon voyage, and bon appétit!

What if changing your life could begin with understanding energy?

You Are Energy – The Five Element Theory explores the fascinating world of energy and the invisible field that connects all living beings. It reveals the many ways we can raise our energy and transform how we experience life, from understanding the field around life, conscious sourcing, to the power of informed water and much more food for thought.

At the heart of it all is the Five Element Theory: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Vida, and the concept that you are the fifth element, the life force bringing energy to it all. Along the way, you’ll explore the original five element smoothies and a fun quiz designed to help you connect with the element you need in the moment.

Ultimately, this book is an invitation to raise your vibration, and create a life that feels more joyful, and more truly yours.

Because you are the fifth element.

You are energy.

​​​PREFACE

My fascination with energy began when I was a young child. At seven years old, I remember standing beneath a transmission tower, wondering how it was possible for me to be standing in Portugal while talking to my grandmother in Germany on a wireless phone. Ever since, I have been fascinated by how energy works and what it is. As a child, I was also already deeply affected by the energy I felt around me. The injustice in the world, the sadness in people, and innocent animals being hurt, troubled me. It baffled me that people accepted this “state of existence.” I wanted to understand why things were the way they were, and more than anything, I wanted to help people become happier, freer, truly do something they love, and feel more energized, I wanted to change the world.

As a teenager, I began to feel that if I had the ability to make a difference, I had a responsibility to do so. Not knowing better at the time, and considering the circumstances I grew up in, I truly believed that the only way I could make a change in the world, and the only way anyone would listen to me, was by becoming a successful businesswoman.

What I didn’t know at the time was that this journey would later lead me to become an expert in reprogramming the subconscious mind, releasing fixed identities the ego grasps onto, and ultimately, learn how to heal yourself by yourself. Most of all, it taught me something profound: nobody needs to change the world. The only thing any of us can truly do to make the world a better place, is change ourselves.

So I spent many years building a name in the business world. Simultaneously, through the work travels I was undergoing, I started teaching myself about our consumer industry, the farming industry, getting energy more naturally, conscious fuelling, the power of consciously sourced fruits and vegetables and much more.

I decided to translate this knowledge, combined with my years of research into energy and my belief that we are all the fifth element, into a product. The five element smoothies were created, and at 24, I opened a company called Be Experience, selling the five element smoothies throughout Switzerland through a food truck.

The aim was to get people to become more conscious about what they consume, how they get energy, how food grows, the power of water, how they live, who they are, what they do with the time they have in this world, and what they are. Most of all, I wanted to show them that they can be freer, happier, and have different life experiences by shifting their energy, in other words, by raising the frequency at which their cells vibrate, through a deeper understanding of energy and the five element concept.

Why Switzerland?Switzerland, home to countless multinational companies and one of the richest countries in the world, felt like the perfect place to bring conscious health into the business world. I wanted to create a company focused on benefiting people rather than simply making a profit, offering my fellow “business workers” a product that could help them become healthier, more energized, and more conscious of how they were living. I genuinely thought, if this wouldn’t work in one of the richest countries in the world, then where would it?

And that was the result. It didn’t.

I fell hard and even almost died, yet I planted many seeds. I talked to thousands of people about the five element concept and the idea that they are energy, with about 900 of them looking back at me with confused faces whilst enjoying the smoothies. The smoothies were distributed in some local shops, but when greater distribution came up, preservation methods were proposed to extend their shelf life. This went completely against my vision, so I chose not to pursue it. Eventually, the company closed.

I quickly learned that, if you are going to do something in the current system, that aims to help people become freer, think for themselves, become conscious consumers, and treat the planet and all living beings better, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

This experience allowed me to spend years detaching from the identity I had created around being a high-powered businesswoman, believing that otherwise I had no worth. As I healed the turmoil, along with more of my own limitations and distorted perspectives, I came to understand that I don’t need to change the world. I never needed to. All I need to do, is live as and be my real raw authentic self and still remain an active member in society.

I also learned the importance of not putting your energy into fighting the system. The more you get upset about everything, the more you are keeping that old system alive. Don’t feed it and don’t try to change it. Simply create a new way of doing things. Change who you ultimately are, be your authentic self, and create something that serves humanity, the planet, and all living beings, whilst enjoying doing it. That’s it. Be an Artist in a Suit, as I like to define myself nowadays.

Through force and pain, I learned that to change the world, I don’t need to run a company. I don’t need to be a successful businesswoman to be respected or listened to. I didn’t need to have millions to be worthy. These were all belief programs. I learned that I am enough by simply being in my element, and spreading that high vibrational energy (we all have in us) wherever I go.

Most importantly, I learnt that, to change the world externally, it is simply all about each of us individually, changing ourselves internally. And after continuing to raise energy, through all my different ventures and sharing my message that we are all energy and capable of truly making this world a more beautiful place for ourselves and everyone around us, I have truly come to understand that: it really is about each individual deciding to heal and grow themselves.

Ten years later, I am putting forward my message once again.

This time, by writing this small book.

Much love,

Isabel
