I am a practicing physician. In my practice, my team and I adhere to the principles of functional medicine – focusing on identifying the root causes of illnesses, with the goal of promoting longevity.

I studied at the Universities of Gießen and Mainz. I completed my specialist training at the Westpfalz-Klinikum in Kaiserslautern and worked as an emergency physician in public ambulance services.

When I'm not working, you'll likely find me playing with my three children. Fridays are my "study days," where I delve into my extensive reading list of medical literature and studies. My hobby is programming, and all the software used in our practice is developed entirely by myself. I enjoy both humorous movies and profound books. As for snacks, I love chips (fortunately, these days they come with healthy ingredients – because I believe in "walking the talk").

It all started when I couldn't find suitable (secure enough) software for digital patient communication during my doctoral thesis, for which I also won a research prize. Therefore, I had to develop one myself with state-of-the-art security standards.

By the way, I learned programming so well because I wasn't the best student initially. When I decided at 17 to become a doctor, the only way to secure a place in medical school was to excel in a natural science subject. Since mathematics wasn't exactly my forte, I chose to learn programming to achieve a high grade in computer science and meet the admission criteria.

As a trained specialist in anesthesiology, I diverted from my established career in intensive care medicine to pursue functional medicine. You can learn more about why I made this transition in my "Patient Handbook," which you will receive at your first appointment with us.

• My Patient Handbook is provided to all patients at their first appointment. It includes my general recommendations for a healthy lifestyle. Please note, this book is not available for purchase – it is exclusively given to patients with whom there is a treatment relationship, allowing for individual follow-up questions.
• You can find my Longevity Book in bookstores. It delves into my mindset on longevity and introduces you to the world of modern longevity medicine in detail.

If you have any questions about this topic or wish to get a personal consultation with our practice, please schedule an appointment. Appointments can take place in our Kaiserslautern office or over the phone.
