Dietrich Grönemeyer

Prof. Dr Dietrich Grönemeyer strengthens the (mental) health of your employees – and thus the performance of your company. With his lectures, he conveys the competence to take (co)responsibility for one’s own health, to interpret body signals correctly and to deal with one’s own resources more consciously.

Because if you understand how nature, nutrition, posture and exercise belong together and can counteract illnesses, you are investing in performance and quality of life.

Dietrich Grönemeyer is an enthusiastic and inspiring speaker. For seven years he hosted his own health TV programme on ZDF. As a scientist, entrepreneur, author and visionary, he is as much in demand as he is appreciated on talk shows and at congresses.

Longevity: the path to a healthy, long life

In today’s fast-paced world, the pursuit of a long, healthy life is more relevant than ever. Longevity is not just a question of genetics, but also of lifestyle. Dietrich Grönemeyer sheds light on how a combination of a healthy diet, adequate sleep, regular exercise, mental health and the influence of thought leaders can help maximize lifespan while improving quality of life.

The perception of medicine and health in society as well as an undogmatic cooperation of the most diverse disciplines, such as high-tech, orthodox medicine and naturopathy for the benefit of the patient, are the topics Prof. Dr. Dietrich Grönemeyer passionately advocates in his publications and lectures. Even against critics.

“If you want to drive innovation, you need broad shoulders.”

Scientist, entrepreneur & visionary

For decades, he has been wholeheartedly committed to creating greater awareness of the issue of health and how we use our individual resources. He advocates the introduction of health education in schools. And for that, he is a regular guest speaker at the “Children’s Universities”, with lectures such as “The soul, our “coolest body part”. In his opinion, children should already be introduced to the topic of health and the body at home, kindergarten and school. His book “Der kleine Medicus” (The Little Medicus), which gave rise to the health musical and the cinema film of the same name, illustrates the complexity and achievements of the body in a child-friendly way in a journey through the body.
