I am a Doctor of Public Health Sciences with an MSc. in Exercise and Nutrition. My heart beats for researching and developing means to age successfully.
That is, without the burden of disease and with the pleasure of doing the (crazier) things in life, even when you are on the wrong side of 65.
My favorite tool to that end is lifestyle medicine. Specifically, its individualization. It’s what I call the “minimum viable health habits”, or MVHH. That’s the minimum set of health behaviors required to keep you healthy, functional, and fit for life.
For my work, I have received grants from the German government, the EU, and public organizations. I have published articles in peer-reviewed international journals:
Journal of Applied Physiology | European Journal of Applied Physiology | European Journal of Preventive Cardiology | Heart Lung And Circulation | Clinical Research in Cardiology | Prevention Science | Preventive Medicine | Reports | Medical Hypotheses | Sports Medicine International Open | Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport | BMC Public Health.
You may visit my profile on ResearchGate.
But I also publish my views here. You might find many of them “contrarian” because I do not hide the fact that:
· Much of clinical research is useless for medical practice
· Much of published research findings are distorted or outright false
· You have only one shot at healthy longevity and deserve the truth
To achieve healthy longevity despite all that is easier than you might think. And it should be accessible to everyone.
That’s why I keep on writing here.
Oh, and I live what I preach. Being over 65, with the function and vitality of a barely 40-years old I bring some credibility to the table.
Here is an interview that Dr. Mehmet Yildiz conducted with me on ILLUMINATION:
