Dr Andrea Gartenbach has resuscitated patients, performed amputations and accompanied people as they died. And then she decided: that’s not enough.
Her principle: measure, act, measure. Her model: managing health like a financial portfolio – using the logic of a family office, but for the body. Her term for the goal: Fullgevity – not just living longer, but living fully.
We talk about the tensions she navigates in her work: between a system that treats illness and a form of medicine that prevents it. Between a premium product for the few and a mission for everyone. Between the promise of data and the fear of what it might reveal. And about what she has learnt along the way as a doctor and founder.
In this conversation you’ll learn:
- how Andrea transitioned from an emergency helicopter doctor to a longevity expert
- why our current healthcare system is primarily designed for "sick care"
- how a Health Family Office uses extensive data and biomarkers
- why empathy and genuine connection matter in medical care
- how overtraining and lack of recovery harm high performers
- why hormonal shifts like perimenopause are often misunderstood in business
- how to start investing in your health with simple, everyday routines
- why "inner peace" is the most underrated factor for a long, healthy life
