Welcome to my holistic health blog!
It has been a crazy time, since a began my journey to explore the world of One Health. This journey has brought my to dense tropical forests and overwhelmingly crowded cities of Subsaharan Africa, both vibrant (Berlin) and cozy (Greifswald) cities of Germany and finally led to taking my first breath underwater.
Since I graduated as a veterinarian last year, I discovered that One Health - connecting health of humans, animals and the environment - is by far much broader than I ever thought.
On top of that, I has deeply inspired me. Seeing this as a key reason why I am on this earth I want share this inspiration with you!
Why One Health Only?
This is pointing out on the critical need for change of our thoughts about health and our planet. We only have one health and one planet: So we cannot lose any more time!
All changes begin with an idea, a thought that is then put into action: We can only save what we love! We can only love what we know! We can only know what we understand!
Therefore, my goal is to contribute to understanding why we need one health.
From this starting point I then want to go through the whole process up to being able to take action: Understand - Learn - Love - Apply!
What will we cover in One Health Only?
The topics will be broad, interesting and very diverse! We will discuss inspiring ideas with interesting poeple and explore a huge range of different places.
