Kyra Kauffmann, born in 1971, is a naturopath and author specializing in functional medicine and holistic approaches to complex diseases.
After studying economics at the University of Cologne, she spent several years in management positions in banking.
Her own experiences with burnout and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) led her to make a fundamental change of direction: as conventional therapies provided little relief, she began to intensively study naturopathic and functional therapy methods. These not only helped her to regain her own health, but also inspired her to train as a naturopath.
Since 2004, she has been running her own practice—first in Hofheim am Taunus and now in Düsseldorf—with the aim of identifying the causes of chronic diseases and treating them holistically. Her focus is on thyroid and adrenal gland disorders, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), celiac disease, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal balance, and chronic fatigue.
She is currently also studying human medicine and preparing for her second state examination—a step that will expand her naturopathic knowledge to include conventional medical perspectives.
In addition to her practice, Kyra Kauffmann shares her knowledge with a wide audience through books, seminars, and online courses. Her goal is to present scientific findings in an understandable way and encourage people to take active responsibility for their health.
