The ELMO conference in Athens at the beginning of October was very inspiring and motivating.

Our lifestyle medicine coach Dr Jana Spurna shares her experience of attending the European Lifestyle Medicine Organization congress with 12 Concierge Medicine Europe Colleagues in Athens “As you know except health coaching and nutrition, my another passion is Pilates, Yoga, physical activity and sport. Recently, I've been studying a lot about effect of exercise on glycemia. I knew that strength training has a very positive impact on lowering glycemia and I experience this with one of my clients who has a typ 1 diabetes and uses the sensor who monitors his glycemia continuously. So in any moment of the exercise he can check his blood glucose. And it's unbelievable how fast it reacts to him exercising. Therefore I was happy to hear from Reka Vernes that muscle contraction increases the number of insulin receptors and GLUT4 transporters and GLUT4 transporters increase glucose uptake into the muscles independent of insulin”

The Medusa is real 😂!

I spent the last weekend in Athens attending the 4th ELMO congress with 12 other members of Concierge Medicine Europe.

🤓 Three days of inspiration and learning about what’s new in the field of Lifestyle Medicine.

And as you can see, we had some time to explore this wonderful, mythical city 😍.
