Dr. Alexander Omel

As a Specialist in Anaesthesiology & Intensive Care Medicine, I'm trained to keep people alive when everything else has gone wrong. But what fascinates me even more is what goes wrong upstream - long before the diseases we spend our days managing at the hospital ever take hold. I think from first principles, I'm driven by logic, and I lean on evolutionary biology to question the health paradigms most people never think to question. I do this in three ways: - As the founder of PrimeLife, an online functional-medicine practice where I work with people one-on-one to rebuild health from the ground up - Through an Instagram presence where I challenge mainstream health narratives and make the science accessible - As the author of Kolesterol-Manifestet (The Cholesterol Manifesto)

One foot inside the system, one foot outside it — and a deep, restless drive to understand human biology at its most fundamental level.
