Let’s find your “minimal viable health habits”.

The idea behind my work is to find your minimum set of health behaviors to simultaneously increase your life- and healthspan. It’s what I call the personal set of “minimum viable health habits”, that perfectly matches your predisposition. That’s a more agreeable alternative than having to blindly follow every single health recommendation.

To that end I apply the principles of lifestyle medicine and single-case-experimental designs in novel and evidence-based ways to my clients.

My services

I’m the founder of the alliance for disease prevention and healthy aging (adiphea).

I received my doctoral degree from the Bielefeld University School of Public Health Sciences, Germany, my MSc degree in Exercise and Nutrition from Chester University, UK.

To make my work accessible to everyone, I publish weekly posts on Medium and Substack.

You might find some 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.

Despite all that, to achieve healthy longevity is easier than you might think. And it should be accessible to everyone.

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. My wife Juliet at age 68 is testimony to that.

Aging successfully means aging 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.
