As a physician, I have seen for decades that most diets do not work, at best producing only temporary results. I imagine you have tried some kind of diet yourself. Many types are recommended—low-carb, low-fat, intermittent fasting, calorie counting. And despite the self-denial... the results are usually temporary.

The root of the problem is that these general methods do not take individual differences into account. Each of our metabolisms works differently, and what helps one person may fail for another. The key is not only how much we eat, but understanding how our body processes nutrients.

The Lumen device fills precisely this missing link: it measures in real time whether your body is burning fat or carbohydrates, and therefore provides personalized guidance for your nutrition. This is not just another "gadget"—this is a revolution in nutrition grounded in science.

If you train regularly — whether running, cycling, team sports or CrossFit — you know that feeling when taking the stairs after a workout is uncomfortable. Muscle soreness, heavy legs, and tight, sensitive muscles all signal that your body worked hard and now needs rest and recovery. This is where compression therapy comes in — a method increasingly used by athletes to support preparation and recovery.
But does it really work? What do the scientific studies say? And how can you use it at home? I look for answers to these questions in this article.

Do you know that feeling when windows open in spring, everyone enjoys the sunshine – and you’re stuck behind closed doors sneezing, your nose is blocked, and your eyes itch and tear up? Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, affects more than two million people in Hungary, and those affected know well: the pollen season is a real ordeal.
The good news is that besides medication there are complementary methods that can help ease symptoms. One of these is salt therapy. In this guide I’ll show how salt can help reduce your allergic nasal and respiratory complaints, what the scientific studies say, and how you can use it at home.

You've probably noticed how beneficial seaside air can be for your breathing. A week at the shore and it feels like your lungs have been refreshed — you breathe more easily, cough less, and your nose feels clearer. This is neither accidental nor imagined. The beneficial effects of salty air on the airways have been known for millennia. Salt therapy — or halotherapy in the scientific literature — harnesses this natural phenomenon under controlled conditions. In this guide you'll learn how it works, which complaints it may help with, and how you can apply it at home.

If you live with eczema (atopic dermatitis) or psoriasis, you know how exhausting the daily struggle with itching, dry, flaky skin and sudden flare-ups can be. Traditional treatments – steroid creams, immunomodulators, phototherapy – often help, but they are not always sufficient and can have side effects.
More and more people seek complementary solutions that can support the skin naturally. The salt therapy (halotherapy or speleotherapy) is a method known for centuries that may have beneficial effects for certain dermatological problems. But what do scientific studies say? And what can you expect if you try it?

How is care structured, and where do you fit in? When you have a health problem, a complex system comes into play – hospital, specialist clinic, family doctor, rehabilitation. Each is important, but they all share a common limitation: they can only help episodically. You spend days in hospital, you see the specialist every six months, the physiotherapist once a week. And in between? Chronic conditions require daily treatment, which this system cannot provide. In this article I show how these links fit together – and why you are the most important one of them.

Back pain and lower back pain are among the most common modern lifestyle diseases. If you are one of those affected by a herniated disc or chronic lower back pain, you know how much it can make everyday life difficult. The good news: soft laser therapy is a side-effect-free method that can be used at home and may help relieve your symptoms.

Tendon inflammation (tendinitis) is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints – it affects both athletes and people who work at desks. If you have already felt that persistent, pulling pain in your shoulder, elbow, or knee, you know how hard it can be to get rid of it. Softlaser therapy can help support the healing process.

Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints today. If you are among those who have trouble getting moving in the morning, wince when climbing stairs, or experience pain after a longer walk, you should know: there is a solution. Low-level laser therapy is a side-effect-free method that can be used at home and may support the healing process.

If you suffer from recurrent cold sores, you know how frustrating the limited effectiveness of conventional treatments can be. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can offer an alternative approach: research indicates it may favorably influence symptom course and support regeneration. In this article I explain how the treatment works, what scientific studies say, and how you can apply it at home.

You're probably familiar with this feeling: something hurts, you go to the doctor, and you expect to be given a pill that will make everything right. Then you walk out disappointed because it turns out the matter is much more complicated.
You're not alone in this. Most people imagine recovery exactly like that — and that's precisely why they don't understand why it doesn't always work.
In this article I'll explain what you need to know about the true nature of healing. Because if you understand this, it will be much easier to cooperate with your doctor — and you'll have a much better chance of recovery.
