Medical and specialist advisory board

medtests offers guidance, not a diagnosis. To make sure that guidance holds up, selected tests and content are reviewed by physicians and specialists. They check the assessment, point to guidelines and practice, and make sure a result prompts action rather than false reassurance or alarm.

Dr. Georg Mekras
Physician and health advisor · Gut health, the microbiome and SIBO.
Dr. Mekras focuses on gut complaints that slip through standard diagnostics: bloating, changing bowel habits and fatigue while blood tests, ultrasound and colonoscopy come back normal. His topic is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), the breath tests used to detect it, and microbiome analysis. On mekras.de he explains these links and offers a free screening (in German).
His core idea
Health starts on the inside, above all in the gut. For some people, an irritable bowel diagnosis hides small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that routine tests do not pick up. Anyone who only receives the IBS label should feel free to keep asking rather than settle for it.

Dr. med. Jost-Hendrik Hübner
Specialist in surgery and nutritional medicine · Lipedema, LipoClinic Dr. Heck.
At LipoClinic Dr. Heck, Dr. Hübner treats women with lipedema, a painful fat distribution disorder that is often mistaken for plain overweight for years. The lipedema self-check on medtests draws on a specialist interview with him and on the guideline sources linked from the test page.
His core idea
The decisive sign is pain, not the amount of fat tissue. Anyone who notices tenderness to pressure, easy bruising and a symmetrical pattern on the legs or arms should have this specifically assessed rather than only thinking about diets.

Nils Heim
Sports therapist and athletic trainer · Patellar and Achilles tendon pain in athletes.
Nils Heim coaches athletes with patellar or Achilles tendon pain, from recreational runners to professional footballers. Many come to him after rest, treatments or even surgery did not bring lasting relief. On nilsheim.de he presents his work and client case histories (in German).
His approach
Irritated tendons need targeted, well-dosed loading rather than permanent rest. That means tendon-specific training, an understanding of load management and a structured transition from rehab exercises back into sport.

How the advisory board works

Board members contribute to topics within their own field: they assess the screening instruments used, check alignment with guidelines and make sure the limits of a self-test stay clear. A board member does not diagnose remotely and does not replace a medical examination. Members are only named with their explicit consent.
