My story

It all started when my own body wasn't working the way it should.

As a child, I struggled with gut problems, had trouble concentrating, was easily distracted, and often felt exhausted. I needed much more rest than others just to get through the day. Exercise became my first lifeline — instinctively, I found that movement helped. But during university, things fell apart: poor nutrition, worsening intolerances, symptoms that kept coming back more often. They kept adding up, until the exhaustion became so overwhelming that I simply couldn't keep going. I went from one specialist to the next and got nowhere.

That's when I started researching systematically. I overhauled my diet, got targeted blood panels and microbiome tests done, dug into the research, and tried everything on myself. Every dietary approach, every supplement, every lifestyle change — always backed by lab work and careful observation. I still follow this approach today: what I recommend, I've tested on myself first.

When family members became seriously ill, I went even deeper. I joined communities, connected with patients and experts, and learned to connect ideas across very different fields.

The more I learned, the more friends and family came to me for advice — because I listen, ask the right questions, and see connections others miss.

How I work

Thoroughly prepared, with a clear process, and the time to truly listen.

After the free initial consultation, you decide at your own pace whether you'd like to work with me. Before our first conversation, I've already reviewed your health questionnaire and any existing lab results. I know your story, have identified initial patterns, and know which questions I want to ask you.

In our first conversation, we review my findings together. You share, I listen, ask follow-up questions, and explain what I see. By the end, you'll know which additional tests could be helpful.

In the following conversations, I lay out the full picture: What's connected? Where are the root causes? And most importantly — what can we actually do about it? You walk away with a personalized action plan – prioritized, practical, and at your pace. It runs to around ten pages, with analyses, charts and concrete steps.

Then we put the plan into action together. Lasting change takes time — and someone who stays by your side.

My background

Scientist by profession. Health coach by conviction.

I hold a PhD in Natural Sciences with a broad foundation in physics, chemistry, microbiology, and genetics. I work in academic and industrial research, where I've learned to analyze complex systems, test hypotheses, and spot patterns that aren't obvious at first glance.

My expertise spans a wide range — and that's exactly my strength: nutrition and micronutrients, gut health, hormones, autoimmune conditions, allergies, ADHD, genetics, and longevity. That's what lets me see connections that are easily missed when you only look through one lens.

My philosophy

Health isn't a matter of luck. It's the result of choices you make over time.

Among my own family and friends, I see what that looks like: people in their 70s, some well into their 80s, who are still physically and mentally sharp — living independently, staying active, pursuing their passions. From them I've learned that a long, vital life doesn't happen by chance.

That's where I come in: bridging the gap between what research knows and what actually helps in your day-to-day life. Not as theory, but as a concrete, actionable plan — built around your values, your history, and your life.

What I do differently

I don't just see isolated numbers. I see how they connect.

I bring together what's usually looked at in isolation: lab results, nutrition, stress patterns, daily routines, sleep, hormones, gut health. I work with all available data, look for patterns, and dig into the root causes of your symptoms — including figuring out which lab work is still missing.

For complex conditions, I search for solutions grounded in the latest research — thoroughly, critically, and with a commitment to truly understanding the science.

Because the best plan is worthless if you can't actually follow it.
