A 

NEW 

REVO 

LUTI 

ON 


A 

WAY 

OF 

LIVING 

Detox is a way to find your balance and be more aware of what you really need. Bengt Valentino, founder of the 

Body Self Development System and the man behind Dr Smood’s bread and salad dressings explains what detox 

does to your body, your mind – and why he believes detoxing can change the world. 

Text Kat. Sekjær | Photographer Lizette Mikkelsen 

Detoxing will become a new revolution 

in our time, Bengt Valentino predicts. 

He is the man behind Dr Smood’s 

vitalizing dressings and energizing 

bread, and also the founder of the 

Body Self Development System, a treatment 

system, that consists of both therapy, healthy eating, 

training – and detoxing. 

For more than 25 years he has been detoxing regularly, 

and that has improved both his physique, health and mindset 

– and as both a therapist and a detox-expert he has helped 

many people to get a healthier and stronger body and mind. 

“There are three approaches to detoxing: The physical, the 

mental and the psychological approach. I could talk about 

this for hours, but to sum it up, I work with all three aspects. 

Detoxing is a way to connect with yourself – and in our time 

a lot of us need to do that. When you detox, your body is capable 

of doing more, and it is also able to keep going for a 

longer period of time.” 

When you start detoxing, you might be dealing with health 

issues, that goes way back, generations before you. Some of 

your ancestors might have been living in polluted areas, 

while others have been living on the country side. Some of 

us are genetically stronger and healthier than others. But no 

matter how healthy you are, a detox will force you to deal 

with issues that overload your natural system. When you 

eat unhealthy or live in polluted areas, your body will 

accumulate and save toxins in your tissue: Think of your 

body as a kind of a downspout, that over time gets clogged. 

When your system is blocked by substances it can not 

get rid of, you are not able to absorb nutrition and regain 

your balance. When your body gets detoxed, it releases 

the slags that prevent it from working optimally: Your life 

energy gets boosted and your body’s cleansing organs are 

being activated . 


Dr SMOOD 

Modern life and modern demands 

Valentino explains, how time has changed – and changed 

us, both our expectations and demands to our selves: Today 

we want to live longer, we want to develop body and mind, 

and we want to shape our bodies far more than we did just a 

few decades ago: 

“Just a couple of generations ago, we had a much stronger 

connection to nature. A lot of us lived as farmers and had 

throughout the year different seasons with different kinds of 

natural grown vegetables. In some periods of the year, we 

would eat enough to gain enough fat to protect us from the 

cold, and in other periods we would eat lighter meals or even 

fast. Most cultures do so. In nature, detoxing is necessary 

because it gives us wellbeing and renewed energy. Our digestion 

is the machine, that manages the whole body – its primary function 

is to let the body absorb nutrients and dispose our waste.” 

You can consider your digestion as a second brain, because 

it is the starting point of how your body works– and therefore 

how you feel and perform. 

Today we don’t need to cultivate the soil to make sure 

dinner is ready. A lot of us don’t even have time to cook - we 

just buy take-away or a meal in the supermarket. Our bodies 

get fed – and fed up, by all the processed foods, that are 

within range every day. We live busy lives, and food is not 

always our first priority even though it should be. 

“Modern life requires a lot of us; job, career, family and society. 

We can more or less choose what kind of body, we want 

– a yoga body, a regular six-pack or maybe an ironmans physique. 

Some of us want to be able to swim under water for five 

minutes – and that is something you can train your body to do. 

We focus on the body’s shape and our ability to reach our goals. 

By detoxing you cleanse the body, you get energized and renewed 

and you get mentally stronger. You get in touch with 

yourself and with your emotions. You become much more 

aware of your surroundings and you feel a lot stronger. Detoxing 

enriches you and make you able to fully enjoy your life.” 

Our choice of food can revolutionize our lives 

Bengt Valentino has developed some of the organic and detoxing 

products, that Dr Smood offers. His vision has been to 

make it easy and possible for everybody to live healthier lives: 

“I started 25 years ago, and through the years I can see, how 

both our needs and our attitudes towards different and alternative 

lifestyles have changed. My idea with the products, I 

have made for Dr Smood, has been to make products, modern 

people are familiar with – bread for instance. But I 

wanted to make it much healthier, much more satisfying and 

energizing than any other kind of bread, they have ever tasted. 

I want to give people a hand changing their habits. Show 

them the path: If you start eating healthy, you will experience 

the difference in your body. Eventually you will end up preferring 

the good organic food instead of an average sandwich. 

You will feel the difference.” 

People are going to detox in a manner, which does not require 

major lifestyle changes. It is adapted to their modern lifestyle 

and will ultimately change their habits. They will find that 

they are much more present in their lives, Bengt Valentino 

says. He actually expects a revolution: If healthy and life prolonging 

food will be available for everybody – rich and poor 

– it will change our future. It is his hope, that healthy food 

and regular detoxing will help millions of people: 

“It will benefit their bodies – and doing so it will benefit 

society. It might even change the way we live and drive ourselves. 

We will become far more attentive and able to enjoy 

the here and now.” 

Another important aspect for Valentino has been the next 

generation, he explains: 

“We can influence children and young people to eat healthy 

food, that makes them strong, vital and happy. I have made 

my products both tasty, detoxing and almost habit-forming, 

so that kids will enjoy them too.” 

Return to your local farmers 

A tendency, that Bengt Valentino welcomes is, that the western 

world is slowly returning to its local farmers. It is not 

natural to eat tomatoes all year or have tropical fruit, when 

you live far up north. However, we have been used to that 

for so many years, that we more or less expect, that an 

average supermarket-tomato has a very light taste and a 

hard texture. When you have an organic, sun-kissed tomato 

in the summertime, you truly experience how a tomato is 

supposed to taste! You feel its energy, you sense its many 

flavors – and it makes you happy. A lot of consumers are 

becoming aware of how their shopping habits affect their 

local surroundings and nature as well. Also how chemical 

and processed foods affect us and our biology – a major 

concern, that has made organic food the best choice. We 

start buying local, organic groceries, and we prefer going to 

farmers markets on Saturdays to buy eggs, vegetables, honey 

and fruits. It is not a matter of simple living, but a matter 

of greater awareness. 

Detox and nutrition affect body and mind 

Bengt Valentino was detoxing and fasting regularly during 

a nine years period. That has made his digestion and body 

extremely strong: 

“I can control my body to a very high level, both because of 

detoxing but also because of my training system. That means, 

that I can detox by myself. My digestion has become so strong, 

that I can digest an extreme amount of food, or I can settle for 

just very small meals, because my body absorbs the nutrition 

very effectively. It is possible for me to go for a long period 

without eating – and without feeling hungry. I haven’t been 

eating today – and I don´t feel hungry,” he adds, sitting in his 

office at three o’clock in the afternoon. 

As a child and teenager Bengt Valentino suffered both from 

severe allergies and bronchitis. There is no doubt in his 

mind, that it is his healthy lifestyle, which has helped his 

body recover. And his vision is, that it is possible for almost 

everybody to get better health and well being, if they eat 

right and treat their bodies with care and respect. 

“Nutrition has a strong influence on our health. It affects 

us in a lot of ways. And we have to learn what it does to our 

bodies and minds. It has become very modern to eat great 

amounts of meat – which can be good for people who has a 

tendency to be flighty and who need to get a bit more grounded. 

For other people eating meat can make them more aggressive. 

You have to figure out, how it affects you, and what works 

best for you as a person.” 

We eat too much without absorbing nutrition 

The main problem for a lot of people is, that their digestion 

does not work properly. That causes a lot of problems, both 

physically and mentally. Some suffer from migraine or 

painful stomach ulcer, mainly caused by bad digestion. According 

to Bengt Valentino, most people only absorb between 

3-10 percent of their nutrition. Detox helps your body 

to a much higher level of energy- and nutrient absorption – 

that means, you will be sated with less, and you will perceive 

both your food and your needs more strongly. 

Balance is the key word. Small steps without abandoning 

your favorite food will lead you to a better digestion. Valentino 

uses bread as an example: 

“It has become very modern to avoid bread. But bread – 

especially if it is hard toasted rye bread or day-old bread with 

olive oil or a thick layer of butter is actually good for you – 

and for your digestion. It has to do with how the bread is 

made, and what it is made of. Most of us do not taste the food 

– really taste it: If you eat chicken, you can’t tell, what it has 

been eating or where it has been living. The more you detox, 

the more you are able to taste your food and all its ingredients. 

It makes you aware of what you need. So to me, detoxing is a 

kind of intelligence.”

an extraordinary therapist, both in terms of individual 

therapy and group counseling. 

Bengt Valentino Andersen has dedicated his life to the development 

of the Body Self Development System, a therapy

Story behind detox 

We live in an increasingly toxic world and 

we’re exposed to countless chemicals, 

carcinogens and contaminants every day. 

The immune system can only handle so 

much before it begins to weaken and break 

down, leaving us susceptible to all sorts of 

illnesses, chronic conditions, and degenerative 

diseases. 

These days, good foods, nutritional supplementation, 

exercise, and sleep are all 

part of a healthy lifestyle. To optimize and 

boost health even further we must also 

cleanse ourselves on a regular basis in order 

to remain healthy, vibrant and resilient. 

When we eat, the majority of our body’s 

energy goes towards digesting that 

food and when we go on a cleanse we are 

giving our bodies a break. If you are trying 

to lose weight or get your diet off to 

the right start then a cleanse is a wonderful 

way to break away from unhealthy eating 

habits and give your body a clean 

slate to work from. 

Juices furnish the body with live enzymes 

and bioactive vitamins, minerals, 

and trace minerals that are heavily reduced 

when a food is cooked. The juices bring an 

alkaline force into the body that helps 

neutralize the toxic acidity that we have 

as a result of our modern diets. 

Daily, weekly and monthly cleansing 

practices have been around for thousands 

of years, and are an integral part of a healthy 

lifestyle.

”A 

FOUNTAIN 

OF JUICE 

THE 

FOUNTAIN 

OF 

YOUTH” 


Cleansing is good for your body, mind and spirit for many reasons. 

First, it gives your digestive system a chance to rest and recharge. Our air, 

water, food and cosmetics can contain substances that are harmful. Replacing 

regular meals with cold-pressed juices and whole foods floods your body with 

healthful vitamins and nutrients, allowing it to release toxins. 

Our expert Dr. Etti (Ph.D) explains “By giving our bodies and 

organs a welcome rest and time to replenish themselves our skin, the largest 

organ in the body, becomes radiant, our complexion smoother. We regain that glow 

we had as children. We begin the “Youthing Process” – Your body will actually 

“digest” toxins and shed them through your waste. It’s a physiological process called 

autolysis; you lose the weight of waste. It is a purging process of junk and gunk 

accumulated over many years of eating unhealthy foods”.

10 questions to Nina Agdal 

1. Judging by your comments on social media, I can see that 

you’re an advocate for living life to the fullest and that you 

are an inspiration to many. Who and what inspires you? 

I believe that life is all about finding a balance between so 

many commitments. I love working, but I also love having 

downtime. I love travelling, but I also love being home with 

my family. I love working out, but I also enjo y spending a 

Sunday on the couch. It’s all about balancing what you have 

to do with what you like doing to make everything that 

much more enjoyable! 

2. You wrote that it’s better to regret something you have 

done than the other way around. Do you regret anything 

you haven’t done, yet? 

Not really. If there’s an opportunity for me to do something 

that I want, I take it. 

3. What makes a perfect day for you? 

A perfect day for me is waking up with a cup of coffee, 

working out with my trainer Andy Speer at Soho Strength 

Lab, going to work on set with my glam team, getting dinner 

somewhere new with my friends and then watching shows at 

home in bed. 

4. What’s the first thing you do in the morning? 

Make coffee, without a doubt. It’s my fuel. 

5. And the last thing you do before closing your eyes at night? 

I typically end the day by checking my Instagram and social 

media so I can stay tuned in on what my friends are up to. 

6. Do you find it difficult, as a beautiful girl and a sex 

symbol, to make yourself heard and be taken seriously? 

Sometimes people stereotype me as something specific, but I 

kind of prefer to be treated like an underdog. That way I can 

surprise people in a positive way. I don’t take it as a negative 

thing and laugh when I sense people are seeing me the wrong 

way and prove them wrong 

7. Tell us about your work with the Children’s Health 

Foundation. How did you get involved, and what does it 

mean to you? 

I’ve been able to work with the Miami Children’s Hospital 

in the past and it is a truly inspiring foundation. Living 

part-time in Miami, it’s something that’s close to my heart. 

The work that they do and the dedication they have to their 

patients is incredible. 

8. Will we see more of you in Hollywood? 

Right now, I’m focusing on my modeling career and a couple 

of TV gigs that I’m excited about. But, never say never! 

9. What would make a dream role for you to play? 

I’ve always wanted to be a Bond girl. I feel like that is such 

an iconic role that it would be a dream for me. Ever since I 

was a little girl, I remember looking up to these beautiful, 

powerful women and thinking, I want to be that. 

10. You also mentioned that setting new goals for yourself 

keeps you going. What’s your next goal? 

I always want to push myself to be better. Whether that’s 

being a better model, a better friend, or even improving my 

English, it all counts!

ERANN DD 

Rockin' my life 

It was a traumatic birth that brought Erann Drori into this world In 1967, 

a foreshadowing of the many hardships that were to come for the young man who 

would find that he could only express his feelings through the music he created. 

Text Michael Garvin | Photographer Jannick Boerlum 

Erann’s parents were loving in their way, but 

very strict. His father followed the Old Testament 

Jewish belief that “using the rod” on 

children was the only way of raising them 

right. As a result, Erann grew up with lot’s 

of love, but also much harsh treatment, that 

causing him to stutter so profoundly that even at age 8, that 

he could not form the words to ask for a bus ticket. 

At the age of 12, Erann’s father sent him away to boarding 

school in Israel. He was there for 3 years; away from his parents 

and family. Many nights, Erann cried himself to sleep 

from loneliness. He buried his pain in playing the piano… 

his only friend. Out of this difficult time, came Erann’s 

own music… Also, an amazing and life changing discovery. 

Erann found that he did not stutter if he SANG the words 

he wanted to say. 

Returning to his home country of Denmark at 15, Erann, 

began to focus on his passion for music; joining a band. He 

sang at his brother’s Bar Mitzvah. It was there that Erann’s 

uncle, Kjeld Wennick, head of Mega Records in Denmark, 

became acquainted with the music that is Erann DD, and 

signed him to the label opening a new world for Erann to be 

able to share his unique sound with. 

Erann’s life has been about overcoming hardships, knowing 

each one came to him for a reason, to make him a stronger, 

deeper, more determined artist, driven to share his emotions 

through his heartfelt music and his incredible voice. His gift 

is a gift to the world, and one that he loves to give. 

It was in 2012 that Erann met with songwriter Michael 

Garvin, and began a collaboration that manifested itself in 

the new Erann DD album “Rockin’ My Life”, released on 

Oct 30, 2015. Michael talks of his experience meeting and 

working with Erann: “I met Erann DD, at a songwriting 

camp in Copenhagen, Denmark, and he immediately made 

an indelible impression me, I thought “Who is this Danish 

cat, who sings with the heart and soul of a black man from 

the southern United States?”. 

I soon found out from the other people at the camp that 

Erann was a big star in Denmark, as were several of the artists 

there, but something was very very different about him, 

No, I take that back, EVERYTHING was different about 

Erann. First of all there was that amazing voice, but there 

is an integrity in his delivery of a lyric that goes far deeper 

than just the fabulous instrument from which that lyric radiate. 

Erann doesn’t just sing you a song, he feels you a song. 

And he makes sure you feel it too. I knew immediately that 

I wanted to work with this man, and that we would do great 

work together. I was thrilled when we were paired to work 

together Mid week, and the magic I knew we would have 

was there tenfold. Both sensing a love and understanding 

for real, raw, honest, to the bone soul music. We knew something 

very powerful was there between us and that we were 

only beginning on the musical journey that would lie before us. 

I invited Erann to come and work with me at my home in 

Louisiana, where I grew up, the rural bayou country of the 

southern United States where I have no he doubt grew up in 

another life. We ate in the soul food joints, caught catfish in 

the black cypress water, and wrote a simply amazing album 

of soul music. While living the music we wrote. 

Erann went home and put together a band that understands 

what that music is about, and he recorded an album that nobody 

else I know, especially from the world he comes from, 

would have made. He was after one thing. Heart. Not the 

kind of heart you get from drum machines and synthesizers. 

The kind of heart you get from real human beings playing in 

a room together. Unpolished and unapolo getic. Warts and 

all, imperfections and all, nothing “airbrushed”. In a word 

REAL, as real as it gets. The kind of real Otis Redding understood. 

The kind of real Al Green and BB King understood. 

Erann knew he was not making a safe pop record with 

this album. Lots of artists can make safe pop albums. Only 

Erann DD could have made this album. In his first single 

from his new album “ROCKIN’ MY LIFE”, He sings “I’m 

here to play …I kick it my way”. Yes my friends, he does.“ 


ERANN DD 

Born in 7. september 1967, Denmark 

Played classic piano at Helena Polak from the age of 6 

Joined the band Zapp Zapp in 1992 - 1993 with 2 album releases

Went solo in 2000 under the name Erann DD with 5 releases 

Latest album release 30. october 2015 “Rockin’ My Life” 

“ROCKIN’ MY LIFE” a true analog production 

Russel Elevado, Grammy award winning sound engineer, and Erann met in 

Copenhagen where they became good friends. Russel won his Grammy for mixing 

D’Angelos “Voodoo”. A big fan of D’Angelo, Erann wanted to get that fat, raw and 

funky sound that he knew Russel could achieve. The album was recorded in an 

analog studio that Erann had built especially for the occasion, and produced 

together with Eranns mentor and friend Kjeld Wennick. 

MICHAEL GARVIN 

Michael Garvin is an American songwriter with 33 top tens and 23 number one 

records to his credit, including “Waiting For Tonight” for Jennifer Lopez and 

“Never Give Up on a Good Thing” for George Benson. 

He cowrote the entire “Rockin’ My Life” with Erann DD, and considers it to 

“Possibly the most artistically rewarding record of my career.

A crush 

on Tatiana 

Text Fadi Morad 

She pierces you with her clever eyes, 

she gives you a hint of a crooked 

smile before she opens her beautiful 

mouth to say something wise and 

extremely funny. Tatiana mesmerizes you 

with her personality that shines through her 

beauty. She pulls you into her magical 

twisted reality where you’ll discover her wit 

and talent. Tatiana reminds you that a woman 

can have it all. Born and raised in Denmark, 

pursuing a career in music she moved 

to NY at the age of 21 where she created a 

sort of an alter ego ‘lovely liar’. With a voice 

and persona reminiscent of our great 

singing divas of the 50’s and 60’s she soon 

landed gigs in bars and clubs in NY, LA and 

Copenhagen. Combining that with a modeling 

career, and an acting career that is just taking 

off, Tatiana is one with many talents and 

she continues to amaze. I met up with her to 

talk about love, hate, her modeling career, her 

music and the release of the new “transporter 

refueled” where she plays a femme fatale… 

Growing up, where you a little entertainer? 

Yes! my dad had bought a video camera when 

I was little and I made him hook it up to our 

tv so I could watch myself sing and dance. 

Whenever he tried to film my baby brother, 

I’d jump in front of the camera shouting ‘daddy 

daddy film me!’ That became a standing joke in 

our family. When I was three or four years old, 

my parents dressed me up as Charlie Chaplin 

for Halloween and I went totally into character. 

I remember loving the attention and that 

feeling of making people laugh. 

You played the piano at an early age so music 

must’ve played a great part in your upbringing, 

did you always know you wanted to sing? 

I had a classic piano teacher at the age of six, 

twice a week for two hours. My parents had 

to buy me a pair of headphones for my piano 

because I was playing all the time and they 

were going mad. And yes I’ve always made 

songs. I would use the melody from famous 

kiddies songs and Christmas carols, change 

the lyrics and make them my own. 

And now you’ve got a shot at Hollywood. 

Do you see your acting career as a side dish 

to your music, or are you hoping to combine 

those two? 

I don’t see why I should separate those two. I 

am creative and I need to express myself in a 

creative way, whether it’s with fashion, music 

or film. It’s all the same vein to me and I won’t 

stop doing any of it. 

I can only describe your style as your own 

and I’m a big fan. But i think i speak for 

many when I ask ‘what are you thinking’? 

(Laughing) I found out that when I dress I always 

think in characters and it comes naturally 

to me, I follow whatever feeling I have or 

mood I’m in that day. I feel it and then I wear 

it. I never really overthink it and I never 

wonder what people might think. I use it as 


one more tool to express myself and the place 

I’m in at that moment, and that can be very 

radical, like anything from old Hollywood to 

ASAP Rocky and sometimes even both. I 

have fun with it.

composer. Should we be looking forward to 

a collaboration in a near future? 

We inspire and support each other, I give my 

honest opinion on what he does and vice versa. 

So even though it’s not official, you could 

say that we’re always collaborating in one 

way or another. Right now Nabil is working 

on a soundtrack for a feature film here in NY 

called 37, and he likes to involve me in his 

creative process just like I involve him in 

mine. But to answer your question, yes there 

will definitely be a music collaboration eventually. 

I feel like that’s inevitable, because 

we’ve been best friends for more than ten 

years. We just get each other. 

How would you say that being in love and 

getting success affects your creating of 

music, or any form of art? 

I find inspiration in anything that happens to 

me, whether it being a good thing or a tragedy. 

I am such a dreamer that I will create magic 

for myself in any kind of situation. I can 

romanticize heartache just as much I do with 

love. I think that comes with being an idealist 

dreamer, it’s just what I do. I am a story 

maker and I never really write “happy” or 

“sad” songs, they’re much more abstract and 

there’s no basic line or a punch line in my stories. 

They can be happy and sad at the same 

time, day and night, feminine and masculine 

at the same time. It’s never that black or white, 

that’s how I see the world. 

What’s next for Tatiana? 

I never really know what’s next to be honest, 

I am working on a couple of films that I really 

can’t talk about at the moment. What I do 

know is that when I set up my mind on something 

I go for it. Like when I had my meeting 

with Luc Besson regarding “transporter 

refueled”, I had already made up my mind 

on landing that role and that’s what I was 

projecting. I simply acted as if I had already 

gotten the job. I feel that if I focus too much 

on the future and on what’s coming I miss 

out on the present, I like to stay in the Now 

and make the best out of that. I surrender to 

the path that the Universe has set up for me, 

and I love watching that path unfold before 

my feet as I walk. 

By the end of our meeting, my crush on 

Tatiana had developed into a full blown 

infatuation. 

Tatiana Pajkovic is currently living in NY.
