CMO at SportFits · Editorial focus: evidence-based fitness, training & longevity
Thorsten writes for the magazine about training, health and nutrition, guided by one clear principle: content must be understandable, practical and free from hype. He draws on studies, guidelines and real-world sporting experience, assesses trends critically and always highlights limitations, trade-offs and alternatives.
His focus is long-term performance: strength training as a foundation, sensibly dosed endurance training, good recovery and routines that genuinely work in everyday life. His diet is pescatarian and protein-conscious, with a focus on satiety, energy and metabolism.
When Thorsten mentions products or brands, he does so transparently and with their practical benefit in mind. Recommendations are made only when they can be professionally justified and suit the intended use.
