My interest in nutrition and nutritional supplements was already awakened during my training at the Medical University of Graz. I ended up specializing in nutritional supplements at the Institute of Pharmacology, where I also wrote my diploma thesis on the topic of “Resorption of nutritional supplements”. I have also been involved in the field of sports science time and again during my studies and training to become a state-certified snowboard instructor and training manager. After my doctorate, I was able to work in a private clinic with outstanding sports physicians and top orthopaedic surgeons and learn a lot. During my residency, I got to know various specialties and hospital departments across Styria and finally started working as a general practitioner in the Department of Surgery at the LKH Weiz/ University Hospital Graz in 2021.

When a severe form of post Covid suddenly tore me out of my usual life, I unfortunately gained a certain amount of expertise in the field of long covid/ post Vac (ME, CFS…), also out of my own initiative and desperation. As there are still hardly any official findings and guidelines on this new disease, I, like so many others, had to rely on self-experiments and experiences of fellow sufferers and preliminary research results. There is now a large group of people worldwide who are/were more or less seriously ill.

Unfortunately, there is currently no reliable diagnosis and certainly no generally applicable therapy, which is why those affected rarely find a hearing or a contact person. Even if there are dedicated colleagues among the GPs and specialists, they often lack the time and in-depth insight into the subject matter. I can’t promise a miracle cure either, but various therapeutic approaches can now improve the lives of many people and achieve great results. That is why I have decided to share my knowledge and, above all, my openness to new things, be it “off-label therapies” or completely individual therapy concepts, as an elective doctor and to find ways to heal or improve the condition together with those affected. Especially in the field of infusion therapy and nutritional supplements in a holistic setting, a lot can be achieved.
