About Miguel.
Miguel zooms out. Instead of chasing the latest trend he examines the systems that shape what we believe about health, longevity and human performance: economic incentives, institutional biases, cultural narratives. He's less interested in what works and more interested in why we think it works.
He leads business development at YEARS, a Berlin diagnostics clinic. On the podcast he stress-tests claims, highlights the limits of evidence, and argues for a more personalised approach with individualised risk-reward assessments. When the evidence is thin, he says so. When something holds up, he says so too.
In 2026 he completed the Healthy Longevity Talent Incubator at the NUS Academy for Healthy Longevity, National University of Singapore, the programme led by Prof. Dr. Andrea Maier and Prof. Dr. Hans Meij, where he took part as a Junior Mentor.
If Niko is the data detective, Miguel is the philosophical provocateur, always pushing conversations past surface-level answers.
- Limits of evidence
- Pressure-testing claims, effect sizes and mechanisms, and saying so plainly when the data is thin.
- Healthcare economics
- How economic structure, training pipelines and billing codes shape what healthcare actually delivers.
- Incentives
- Who benefits from a claim, and what that does to the evidence base everyone else builds on.
- Personalised medicine
- Individualised risk-reward decisions rather than one-size-fits-all protocols.
