Training guidance and personal training

Want to prepare properly for a sporting event? Or help building up your training?

Working experience in sports medicine and cardiology and my own background as an elite athlete allow me to provide targeted training guidance with a focus on endurance sports (cycling, running) and strength sports (weightlifting/fitness, gymnastics/calisthenics).

Additional research

Blood tests are available on indication, performed by a certified medical laboratory.
Also, in cooperation with the Microbiome Center, there is the possibility of performing an analysis of the intestinal flora (the so-called microbiome) and, if necessary, prescribing a personalized probiotic.
This is a still relatively new field of research and therapy, which is expected to play a prominent role in the treatment of lifestyle diseases and a range of other conditions in the coming years. More information can be found at: microbiome-center.nl/voor-clienten/
