Hans Scherz (* 1937 in Murau , Styria) is an Austrian author , nutritionist and health trainer.

Live and act

Scherz headed the editorial team of GU health and nature book publishing house Gräfe und Unzer in Munich for 20 years . In 1975 he developed the “Independent fasting for healthy people” model together with Hellmut Lützner. This resulted in the guidebook “How new-born through fasting”, which was sold for two years as a companion book to the TV series “The Fasting Week”. The book has a total German-language edition of 2.5 million copies, plus 14 foreign language editions, including one Chinese.

Hans Scherz is co-founder of the German Fasting Academy (dfa) and the Austrian Society for Health Promotion (GGF), as well as the author of several fasting books and an expert on the online fasting portal. He lives in Eastern Styria, where he works as a fasting leader and health trainer. Hans Scherz himself regularly fasts twice a year because he considers fasting to be essential as a regulator of his lifestyle, and he is convinced that it significantly slows down the aging process.
