Dr. med. univ. Sarah Girstmair – born in 1985, grew up and studied in Innsbruck. I trained as a general practitioner and senior emergency physician, but even during my studies, I knew that I didn’t want to just write referrals and prescribe medication. So, during my training, I also completed diplomas in nutritional medicine and acupuncture. After I was authorized to practice independently, I worked in a private clinic for some time and opened a private practice on the side. Since then, I have been working according to the principles of functional medicine, which means that I try to find the cause of a disease rather than just treating the symptoms. My main areas of focus are nutritional medicine, micronutrients, the gut, and the microbiome. I am also an expert in acupuncture, mitochondria, hormone health, and medicinal mushrooms. Privately, I have been involved in biohacking and longevity for many years, travel around the world to conferences, and live what I preach 🙂 I have now opened a second practice, developed my own supplements, and plan to enter the field of longevity research.
