Episode #81 of Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS is one that really stays with you.
In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Martina Meyer zu Selhausen—a former corporate banker whose life took a profound turn after facing autoimmune neuro-degeneration.
Raised in Germany and building a successful career in the UK’s corporate banking world, Martina’s story initially follows a familiar path of ambition and achievement. But beneath that trajectory came a pivotal realisation:
What are we truly investing in—and at what cost to our health?
That question sparked a complete shift.
From finance to functional health, Martina pursued an MSc in Functional Medicine and Personalised Nutrition (CNELM), driven not just by curiosity—but by necessity. Her recovery journey led her deep into the science of brain health, including advanced research into lithium and its relationship with Alzheimer’s disease.
Today, she channels that knowledge into her work through Viatitude Health, where she is developing innovative, data-driven tools to support brain health—particularly for women navigating peri- and post-menopause, and in the age group 35 plus
What makes this episode so compelling isn’t just Martina’s expertise—it’s the questions it raises for all of us:
- What daily risks are we taking with our health, often unknowingly?
- Are we prioritising the right “investments” in our lives?
- And how much control do we actually have over our long-term brain health?
Martina’s message is both sobering and empowering:
The risk of Alzheimer’s disease can be significantly reduced through the choices we make every single day.
This episode is insightful, thought-provoking, and deeply human.
If you care about your health—or the health of those around you—this is a conversation worth your time.
