Dr. med. Dr. Lisa-Marlen Spathelf

Dr. med. Lisa-Marlen Spathelf is a German physician and entrepreneur working at the intersection of preventive medicine, planetary health, mindfulness and AI. She trained as a doctor and worked as a surgeon, and during her studies completed an observership at the Mayo Clinic, where a culture of staff wellbeing became formative for her later work. She is co-founder of Mindful Doctor, a resilience programme for physicians she built with Dr. Alvar Mollik, which runs an annual conference connecting leaders from business, science and medicine with the next generation of doctors. The programme frames self-care as a precondition for caring for others. She is also the founder and writer of the Healthy Habits newsletter, where she translates research on metabolism, microbiome, stress, sleep, vitamin D and longevity into practical recommendations. Her collaborations include scientific and content work with TISSO Naturprodukte and an advisory role with the breastfeeding-expert platform Stillie; she also coaches startups in the German Health+ Inkubator network and co-developed the book 'Erfolgsformel Achtsamkeit'. (Note: her specific medical school and final specialist designation are not publicly disclosed.)
