All you REALLY need to know about Biohacking & Longevity, without spending thousands of EUR/USD. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK ME at 054-656-7959

Biohacking and longevity are among the trendiest buzzwords in health today. Red light therapy devices, NAD+ infusions, salmon DNA injections, creatine, disease-specific probiotics, ice baths, and, of course, "biological age" tests all come with the promise of a healthier, more vibrant life, perhaps....

Please DON'T!
Ultra Processed Junk masked as health. This is exactly what the food industry does best.

PLEASE do not drink this thinking it’s healthy. Come on …

Soluble corn fiber” is basically a lab-processed fiber ingredient made from corn starch. Companies use it because it’s cheap, slightly sweet, easy to add to drinks, and lets them slap words like “prebiotic” and “gut healthy” on the label.

Adding fiber doesn’t suddenly cancel out the cane sugar, caramel coloring, phosphoric acid, caffeine, and processed additives surrounding it.

It’s like sprinkling kale powder on a donut and calling it metabolic medicine.

And unlike getting fiber from real foods (beans, berries, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc) the isolated industrial version doesn’t come packaged with polyphenols, micronutrients, water, or the thousands of compounds that actually support a healthy microbiome.

We’ve become so disconnected from real food that companies can add one engineered ingredient to soda and convince people it belongs in the wellness aisle.

For many years, I worked in cancer research, pharmaceutical industry, and later devoted my life to Chinese and Japanese Medicine, nutrition, medicinal herbs and mushrooms.

Today, through my clinic and online consultations, I help people in midlife reconnect with their health in a calmer, sustainable way.

And over the years, I’ve noticed something again and again:
People often do not lack motivation.
They are lacking:
Clarity.
Support.
Balance.
And sometimes simply someone who can finally connect the dots.

Many people are trying very hard to be healthy, yet feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, stress, modern food, and bodies that no longer respond the way they used to.

This is why I offer personalized 1-on-1 nutritional therapy sessions via Zoom (or in person when possible). These 90-minute sessions combine:
• Chinese Medicine diagnosis
• Review of recent blood work
• Personalized nutritional guidance
• Recommended meals and food lists
• Herbal teas and medicinal mushrooms
• Lifestyle recommendations
• Healthy recipe booklet
• Ongoing WhatsApp support

Who is this for? People in midlife struggling with:
• Insomnia and poor sleep
• Anxiety and stress
• Diabetes or prediabetes
• Weight gain and obesity
• Hypertension
• Cholesterol and triglycerides
• Fatty liver
• Hormonal imbalance
• Digestive issues
• Chronic inflammation
• Fatigue and burnout

The goal is not perfection. The goal is to help you feel more energetic, more balanced, sleep better, think more clearly, and create habits your body can actually sustain.
Sometimes small changes create very big shifts.

Fatty Liver - What's that?

Fatty liver sounds like something that only happens to “very sick” people. In reality? It’s one of the most common diseases in the Western world. About 1 in 4 people suffer from fatty liver, and among people who are overweight, diabetic, or have high blood lipids, the number already climbs to 50–70%.

The irony? Most people don’t feel anything. No pain. No dramatic signs. Just fatigue, a stomach that refuses to go down, blood tests with high liver enzymes (check your ALT, AST, GGT values), triglycerides, cholesterol, or Lp(a) out of range.

Fatty liver has been known to medicine for thousands of years. The Egyptians and Romans fattened geese on figs and dates to produce fatty liver (=Fois Gras).

Today, we do something similar to ourselves, with the help of ultra-processed foods that contain excess processed sugar or fructose, inferior protein, and unhealthy fats.

In the photo above, the 4 stages of fatty liver - from a completely reversible condition via dietary changes to scarring and cirrhosis of the liver, which can no longer be reversed. It's all in our hands and currently there are NO DRUGS to reverse fatty liver.

If you want to treat or prevent permanent damages, contact me on +972-54-6567959 or in Greece +30-6971904114. Happy to answer your questions here on in private and meet for a 90-minutes online session.
