Coming from a diverse academic background focusing on all areas of healthcare and medicine and having gathered in the past 20 years valuable international professional experiences serving at various positions such as Clinic Manager<\/strong> and Surgical Coordinator<\/strong>, as a Researcher in Risk Assessment and Health & Safety in Research programs<\/strong> funded by the European Union, as Healthcare Advisor<\/strong> for the Department of Health and Social Care, Ministry of Health<\/strong> in the UK, as well as a Medical Doctor in Surgery and General Medicine<\/strong>. In parallel I applied my entrepreneurial skills and ambition having established a Medical Company<\/strong> at the end of 2016 in Cyprus which has been sold in 2021 to the biggest company with medical and surgical equipment in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout my working years I understood that it is more important for me to try to prevent or delay the onset of many illnesses<\/strong> and chronic diseases<\/strong> instead of trying to treat or manage them when it is too late. As such, I have placed my medical interest on Lifestyle Medicine<\/strong> and I have gathered extensive experience working with leading, international Health Wellness organizations and Medical Centers in Switzerland<\/strong>. Having served in the world famous Chenot<\/strong><\/span>\u00ae<\/strong> Group<\/strong> and the most exclusive private treatment center The Kusnacht Practice AG<\/strong> in Switzerland, in a variety of positions, such as Consultant Doctor, Wellness Coach and Doctor in Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine, I was focused on Preventive Medicine, Medical Wellness and Human Performance optimization<\/strong> through exercise and nutrition, gut health, orthomolecular medicine and overall vitality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since October 2024 I joined the<\/span>\u00a0Longevity Center Switzerland\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>Z\u00fcrich holding the position of the\u00a0Longevity Doctor<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>promoting<\/span>\u00a0healthy-aging<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>health optimization<\/span>\u00a0and an\u00a0<\/span>improved health span using evidence-based and Lifestyle medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lifestyle Medicine<\/strong> encompasses research, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dysfunctions caused by a non-physiological lifestyle (lifestyle-related diseases, LRDs) and morbidogenic environments conducive to promoting such lifestyles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ultimate goal and primary focus of Lifestyle Medicine<\/strong> is to promote healthier lives through salutary environments and healthier lifestyle choices. Treatment of LRDs includes nutritional, exercise, psychological, social, economic and environmental interventions. To successfully do this requires education, training and communication about Lifestyle Medicine<\/strong> at the professional and general public.<\/p>\n
