About

Andrea Gartenbach, MD is a co-founding physician at Axmann & Gartenbach and a specialist in internal medicine and palliative care with 15+ years of clinical experience across Germany, Switzerland, and the USA. She layers functional, sports and performance, nutritional, and longevity medicine onto an internist's foundation. Beyond the practice, she serves as Director of Education and Visiting Professor at the Geneva College of Longevity Science and co-founded LifeSummit Berlin. Her former elite-swimmer background supports her focus on recovery, resilience, pacing, and sustainable performance.

What to Know

Signature approach

Gartenbach works the internal medicine and palliative-care core of the practice: reading complex cases across systems, pacing interventions to real-life context, and translating research into plans a client can actually live with. She layers functional, sports and performance, and nutritional medicine onto that base, with recovery and resilience as practical clinical anchors.

What sets them apart

  • GCLS education role. As Director of Education and Visiting Professor at the Geneva College of Longevity Science, she helps shape how longevity medicine is taught.
  • LifeSummit Berlin co-founder. She helped build a central applied-longevity convening in Berlin, with additional speaker roles across Frontiers Health, Davos 2026, World Systemic Forum, DOC events, and Leaders in Health UK.
  • Palliative-care depth. Her background with complex and end-of-life cases brings continuity, pacing, and dignity into a field often focused only on optimization.

Before You Book

  • Care focus. Choose Gartenbach for internal medicine, palliative-care depth, functional medicine, and recovery-oriented longevity planning.
  • Team model. Expect the relationship to include Guido Axmann, MD where prevention, performance, or broader biomarker strategy is central.
  • Access. Intake starts with the Axmann & Gartenbach waitlist, not direct booking.
  • Travel. Plan for Europe-based, in-person care unless the practice confirms remote follow-up during intake.
