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.
