Committed to your health
About Dr. Olshausen’s Practice
With over two decades of experience as a physician specializing in Internal Medicine, my journey into Lifestyle Medicine began unexpectedly, transforming my approach to healthcare and patient well-being. After years of traditional medical practice, I stumbled upon Lifestyle Medicine and recognized its profound impact on helping individuals lead healthier, longer lives, manage chronic conditions effectively, and even reverse them through fundamental lifestyle changes.
Driven by the belief that basic lifestyle modifications can be more powerful than medications and medical procedures, I embarked on a personal transformation, embracing a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, prioritizing regular exercise, cultivating mindfulness, and fostering positivity in my life. This shift not only revitalized my own well-being but also deepened my conviction in the transformative potential of Lifestyle Medicine.
My medical journey began in 1995 with medical school at the Charité at Humboldt-Universität in Berlin, Germany. I then moved to the US and completed my Internal Medicine residency at the Yale-affiliated Norwalk Hospital, including an additional year as Chief Resident.
Over the years as a primary care physician, I have dedicated myself to preventing and managing diseases and chronic conditions, engaging in discussions about lifestyle with patients. Now, with a renewed passion for Lifestyle Medicine, I am thrilled to delve deeper into guiding patients on their individual lifestyle journeys through our virtual practice at Lifestyle Connect MD.
Join me on this transformative path towards health and well-being, where I empower you to make lasting lifestyle changes that can enhance your vitality, happiness, and overall outlook on life.
