Who am I?

After twenty years as an anesthesiologist in academic hospitals, I chose preventive medicine. I saw too many women with conditions that might have been prevented. That is why I trained further in menopause, lifestyle medicine and sports medicine. Sport and movement have always been a passion of mine.
