Kinesiology
After many years working as a specialist in clinical pharmacology (a title I acquired in Germany) in the field of drug research and development, I have first-hand knowledge of the possibilities—and limitations—of pharmacotherapy. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how much can be achieved with medication, but also how much cannot. Often, medication cannot solve health problems at their root cause.
Ultimately, my path led me back to nature—to the building blocks of life, vital substances, and the understanding that the body naturally strives for harmony and healing. Today, I support this natural process with the best tools from conventional medicine, vital substance medicine, and alternative healing methods, such as ozone therapy or IHHT.
When talking to my patients, the focus is on finding the causes and possibilities for healing. With empathy, understanding, and a meeting of equals, I accompany them on their individual path to recovery—in a sustainable, cause-oriented, and humane manner.
Functional medicine
Functional medicine is a holistic, cause-oriented approach to medicine. It attempts to treat diseases not only symptomatically, but also to identify and correct the underlying functional disorders in the body. The goal is to restore bodily functions rather than suppress symptoms.
Clinical pharmacology
This is a branch of medicine that deals with the absorption, excretion, and specific effects of drugs on the human body.
Biochemistry
Biochemistry researches the chemical processes in cells and therefore the basis of all metabolic and life processes. These reactions are crucial for health and performance - they only function smoothly if they are adequately supplied with essential micronutrients.
