Sometimes the most important insight begins with your own body. For Anders, a personal health crisis became the spark for an entire career, and for Cue. Meet the physician behind Cue's medical direction.
A personal turning point
During medical school, Anders was struck by a form of chronic fatigue. He crashed, could sleep 10 to 12 hours a day, and still felt he didn't have the energy he needed.
He did what most people would do and went to his own doctor. A limited number of blood tests were taken, and the message was that everything looked normal, that there wasn't really anything to be done, and that he was perhaps just a little stressed. That very lack of digging deeper left him feeling hopeless.
When the body turned out to be right
Anders isn't the type to accept that "this is just how life looks from now on." So he read everything he could, measured and adjusted, and eventually discovered he had a hormonal imbalance. Something that sat just beneath the surface, but that no one had looked for, because why would you in a young man?
Once the imbalance was corrected, everything changed. His energy returned, his stomach pains disappeared, and he felt better than he ever had.
From personal experience to profession
The experience taught him how much hormones matter, and it set the direction for his further training in the Department of Andrology at Rigshospitalet and the Department of Endocrinology at Odense University Hospital.
The question was always the same: Why is there such a gap between "your tests look completely normal" and "I actually don't feel well"?
The body rarely lies
What Anders has learned, both through his own journey and through the many patients he has since seen, is that the body rarely lies. When you feel flat, when you can't lose weight, when sleep isn't working, or when you're missing the drive you once had, there's almost always something that can be measured, and something that can be explained. And most importantly: there's usually something that can be done.
What you can learn from Anders
As a physician and co-founder of Cue, Anders leads Cue's medical direction. In his work, he shares his knowledge of how to look behind the symptoms and find the explanations that standard answers often overlook, so you can make informed decisions about your own health.
