My journey to becoming a Functional Health Advisor

I have always been fascinated by human biogology, biochemst, how the body functions and what it is that makes it work the way it does.

I did not make the childhood dream of becoming a doctor, but instead took a degree in chemical engineering – and then ended up working in the IT business for over 25 years.

I have spent many years reading, listening and watching content about Functional Medicine and in particular the idea of Food as Medicine. This has triggered a strong desire to be able to help others with evaluating and optimizing their health and lifestyle.

Everyone is a unique human being and everyone has their  own personal challenges. Functional health and medicine is about root cause analysis of individual people’s problems (not just treating their symptoms) and helping set goals on how to address these – ideally without the need for medicine. The only medicine that is needed is a good combination of real food and a healthy and active lifestyle.
It is solving these personal puzzles and making a real personal impact that drives my engagement in being a functional health advisor.

To complement my own interest and basic knowledge in functional health, I am a certified health advisor with one of the leading experts in functional medicine and lifestyle in Denmark – Umahro Cadogan.

One of the cornerstones of this course is what Umahro calls “KRAMSSS“.

  • Kost (Diet)
  • Rygning (Smoking)
  • Alkohol (Alcohol)
  • Motion (Exercise)
  • Stress (Stress) 😉
  • Søvn (Sleep)
  • Social

These are all key factors in living a healthy and functional lifestyle.
In English this could be translated into what I call a Health HUG – which we all need much more of. 

One of my own personal challenges is rosacea, which I have had for many years. This is a chronic skin disorder that there is no known cure for – and the real causes are not really known.
The last few years getting this under control has been a really big challenge for me. So I have paid special attention to the many podcasts and videos, books and websites about functional health, especially when they refer to products and health practices that help with rosacea. All of these, combined with the detailed knowledge I have gained from my health advisor training has helped my in finding what looks like the correct formular for me to get my rosacea under control. A combination of the correct probiotics to feed my gut microbiome, combined with various supplements and skin products has helped me improve my rosacea tremendously.    

I would love to help you, someone in your family, at work or elsewhere in your network guidance on how to achieve optimal functional health or resolve their special issues through a personal health program.

I can also help your business and your colleagues embark on the journey of a healthier lifestyle in the workplace and at home. In addition to the personalized health programs I offer, we will soon be launching a corporate health program where the goal is to help companies and their employees by introducing functional health concepts into the daily life of the business and it’s employees.
