Medicine is not only the treatment of illness. It is understanding the person behind the symptoms — and guiding them towards a healthier, more complete life.
In the years I have been practicing medicine, I have seen thousands of people arrive with conditions that should never have progressed this far. Blood pressure that had been high for years, blood sugar quietly rising, fatigue attributed to "stress" that was never properly investigated.
My job is not to tell you what you're doing wrong. It is to help you understand what is happening in your body — and together find a realistic, sustainable way to change it. Without extremes, without judgement.
Alongside internal medicine, I practice medical acupuncture — an evidence-based approach I use as a complement to conventional medicine, whenever each patient needs it.
Select the area that concerns you most to see my clinical approach.
Arterial hypertension is called the "silent killer" for good reason. In the vast majority of cases it produces no symptoms until a cardiovascular event occurs. It is effectively managed — provided it is identified early and monitored systematically.
I specialize in diabetes and have participated as a researcher in international clinical studies on the disease. Its management goes beyond pharmacotherapy — it requires a holistic approach covering nutrition, weight, physical activity and psychological support.
I discuss weight with my patients because its impact on chronic disease is among the best documented in medicine. Obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes 7-fold, hypertension 5-fold, cardiovascular disease 3-fold. My approach is strictly biomedical — no judgment, no extremes.
Chronic insomnia and stress are linked to elevated cortisol, immune dysregulation, accelerated atherosclerotic disease and increased risk of metabolic syndrome. I address these conditions in combination — with clinical assessment, pharmacological intervention when necessary, and medical acupuncture.
Preventive screening is not a fixed "package of tests". It is an individualized strategy based on age, family history, lifestyle and risk factors. A result that appears "normal" may not be optimal for the specific patient.
Nicotine dependence is a neurobiological disease — not a character weakness. Its treatment requires a combination of pharmacotherapy, behavioral support and, in many cases, medical acupuncture for withdrawal anxiety management.
Select the area that concerns you most to see my clinical approach.
This section is positioned around structured blood pressure assessment, cardiovascular risk evaluation, and long-term monitoring. The clinical approach should present hypertension as a measurable risk state, not just a symptom-driven complaint.
This area should clearly frame hyperlipidemia together with cardiovascular prevention. It should help the patient understand that cholesterol values matter most in the context of overall vascular risk, family history, and coexisting metabolic factors.
The page should be framed as a metabolic continuum, not only for patients with established diabetes. This makes the section broader, more clinically precise, and more relevant to early intervention.
The updated section should move away from generic wellness language and place body weight inside a proper metabolic evaluation framework, including waist circumference, fasting insulin / HOMA-IR, HbA1c, lipids, fatty liver, and blood pressure.
This section should use clinically precise terminology by naming the autonomic nervous system directly and linking sleep/stress with sympathetic-parasympathetic regulation, cortisol balance, and cardiometabolic consequences.
This section should group check-up logic, vaccinations, infections, and preventive screening into one clear preventive cluster. It should also avoid rigid wording such as annual screening for everyone and instead emphasize individualized frequency.
Nicotine dependence should be presented with clear clinical language, without sounding moralistic. Medical acupuncture should not be limited to withdrawal anxiety only. It is better framed as complementary support for autonomic nervous system regulation and withdrawal-symptom management.
I speak regularly with my patients about weight — not for aesthetic reasons, but because its relationship with chronic disease is scientifically indisputable. Our goal is always your health, never a number on a scale.
Metabolic syndrome: Hypertension + blood sugar + weight + lipids — treated holistically as one entity.
No extreme diets: Only sustainable changes the body can maintain long-term.
Acupuncture as support: Appetite and metabolic regulation — scientifically studied.
Current indicators suggest a balanced metabolic profile. Focus remains on prevention, healthy nutrition, movement consistency, and maintaining insulin sensitivity over time.
At this stage, small structured adjustments usually create the biggest long-term benefit. Sleep, meal timing, and inflammation control matter more than aggressive dieting.
Periodic laboratory review and body composition follow-up help preserve a low-risk trajectory before silent metabolic drift begins.
Medical acupuncture is not alternative — it is complementary. It is applied with medical indications and an evidence base. Below you see the main applications and the strength of evidence for each.
The effectiveness of acupuncture for chronic tension-type headaches and migraines is well documented by multiple RCTs and meta-analyses. The 2022 Cochrane Review confirms equivalent effectiveness with pharmacological prophylaxis.
