About

Joris Budweg, MD is CMO and Lead Functional Medicine at Origin Health in Basel. He completed his medical degree in Germany in 2008, earned Swiss FMH certification in general internal medicine in 2014, and worked across University Hospital Basel, Hausarztzentrum Bethesda, and Hausarztpraxis Niederholz before co-founding Origin Health. His current work focuses on root-cause functional medicine for chronic fatigue, gut and microbiome concerns, autoimmune patterns, hormone issues, stress resilience, and prevention.

What to Know

Signature approach

Budweg starts with the question behind the symptom: why is the body out of balance? His workups can include micronutrients, hormones, inflammation markers, gut and microbiome testing, conventional labs, and a careful review of lifestyle context. The plan then combines medical interpretation with nutrition, sleep, stress, supplementation, and repeat measurement so the patient can see whether the intervention is changing the pattern.

What sets them apart

  • Basel internal-medicine foundation. His background includes University Hospital Basel, local primary care, and Swiss FMH certification before moving into functional medicine.
  • Research and public-health voice. Publications in Swiss Medical Weekly and HNO, plus CSS Versicherung media work, give him a broader medical footprint than a clinic bio alone.
  • Patient-partner style. Reviews repeatedly describe his consultations as careful, equal, and investigative.

Before You Book

  • Care focus. Start with Budweg when fatigue, gut health, hormones, autoimmune patterns, chronic symptoms, or root-cause functional medicine are the main issues.
  • Visit format. Public profiles point to in-person care in Basel, with German and English consultations.
  • Membership model. Ongoing access depends on the selected Origin Health tier, so ask how often you will see him directly and what follow-up happens between visits.
  • Longevity track. If the main goal is biological-age testing, NAD+, IHHT, or hallmarks-of-aging protocols, Manuel Puntschuh leads that side of the practice.
