You have been looking for answers a long time
Persistent problems without a clear diagnosis. Gut, autoimmune, hormonal, fatigue. Conventional care has ruled out the acute and the obvious, and you want to understand the whole picture.
Identify the underlying causes. Build more healthy years.
Science as your guide.
I am a licensed physician since 2001, a specialist since 2013, and an Associate Professor at Sahlgrenska Academy (University of Gothenburg). My background is academic: a PhD from Karolinska Institutet and a postdoc at Harvard.
Over time I saw that many patients needed more than a diagnosis and symptom relief. They needed a deeper understanding of the underlying causes: their biology, their lifestyle, their long-term risks. That led me to functional medicine. My particular interest is longevity: how we extend the number of healthy years in a life.
As a researcher at Karolinska Institutet and Sahlgrenska Academy I have supervised three doctoral students to defense and authored a number of peer-reviewed publications in journals including Lancet and Nature. My dissertation on HPV and cervical cancer was awarded the Chorafas Prize.
I work selectively, taking on patients where I believe a deeper medical approach can make a meaningful difference. For our work to produce results we need to agree on the direction, and you need to be prepared to take the steps we settle on.

Healthy but curious about how you are aging. You want to follow the markers that can be followed over time, and act while there is still time.
I take you on if I believe I can help, and if you have the discipline to want to change your habits. Prescriptions rarely solve the underlying problem. Lifestyle and biology do the work.
Beyond being medically excellent, you are very skilled at the human side of patient care. I find you very present and attentive, someone who sees the whole person. With your help I feel sharper and much better. Thank you!
Start where it suits you. From a 30-minute conversation to see whether we are a fit, to a complete health plan with biological age analysis. All consultations are held personally by Dr Nathalie Helm, specialist physician and Associate Professor.
Advice from a specialist physician, without lab work.
For you who want to discuss your health and understand whether I can help, and what the next step might be.
No personalized health plan is produced at this visit.

The most common option. We review your lab results, symptoms, and current health status. Afterward you receive a written, personalized treatment plan.
With a personal physician's interpretation of your biological age.
For you who want to go deeper. Includes the TruDiagnostic biological age test. Over 75 markers for aging, telomere length, and immune system aging.
Biological age estimates how quickly your body is aging, and points to what you can influence.

A broad blood panel of around 44 markers, analyzed through a functional medicine lens. Not only to rule out disease, but to identify imbalances that affect your vitality, recovery, and the way you age.
Inflammatory markers, blood count, liver and kidney function, glucose balance including insulin, cholesterol and blood lipids (including ApoA1 and ApoB), vitamin and mineral status, thyroid, FSH and estrogen (women), and PSA and testosterone (men).
Nathalie helped me get rid of issues that other doctors had not been able to resolve, by truly going to the root of it.
I only do online consultations. You can book with me wherever in Sweden you live. Lab work is done at Synlab on a drop-in basis (fasting, in the morning) or at one of Synlab's partner clinics.
Functional medicine is a systematic way of looking for the underlying causes of symptoms, rather than only treating the symptoms themselves. I use the same diagnostic tools as conventional medicine, but often interpret them more broadly and complement them with a lifestyle analysis. I do not replace your regular care, I complement it.
Want to talk first and see whether we are a fit? Choose the Phone Consultation (1,500 SEK). Want a personalized plan? Choose the Health Assessment (7,000 SEK), the most common choice. Want to go deeper and follow how you are aging? Choose Biological Age (12,500 SEK).
A blood analysis without interpretation is just numbers. The core of my Health Assessment is the 45 minutes where we go through together what the values mean for you, in your context. You receive a written, personalized health plan to return to, and the option of follow-up over time. The value is not in the lab results themselves, but in what happens after.
Book a visit and we will review your situation, your biomarkers, and your goals together. Video consultations, wherever you are in Sweden.
