Welcome to my blog and website about HEALTH COMPETENCY, i.e. the knowledge and skills you need to attain good health. This means not only avoiding getting ill, but also obtaining wellness in the sense of high energy level, good tone both physically and mentally, high quality of life and stress-resistant performance. I will share valuable information and useful health advice based on scientific findings and news in health research and rehabilitation.
Below in the blog, I publish newsletters and short articles commenting on new, interesting research results in wellness and preventive medicine. Above all, I want to highlight mental wellness and mental strength training, which are neglected areas of knowledge with lots of misconceptions and myths that need to be dispelled.
I also work actively as an occupational physician and am particularly interested in how to develop the organisational and psychosocial work environment. I not only assist workplaces with problems, but also (and preferably!) work proactively on the basis of the question: -What happens in a really good workplace? Or maybe the question is better put like this: “What must happen to become and remain a good place to work?”
Under the other tabs on this website you will find in-depth texts, articles and extracts from my books, as well as some video clips from my lectures. I hope you find something you can use! Feel free to contact me with any questions. I always try to answer them, although sometimes I get a lot of them and then it can take some time for me to get back to you.
And, please, subscribe to the newsletters! It helps me to get sponsors and grants for my research and to do all the free work with this website.
