Introducing Dr. Matild Kovács, chief physician and our expert in the use of infusion therapies

PMMHealth's recommendation

Modern medicine is now much more than the symptomatic treatment of diseases. The goal is increasingly to preserve health, prevent deterioration and support an active, independent life – especially in middle age and older age.The work of Dr. Matild Kovács, chief physician, represents exactly this approach:

• musculoskeletal rehabilitation,

• geriatrics (geriatrics),

• lifestyle counseling,

• hormone harmony counseling,

• and innovative infusion therapies . Below, we present what these fields mean in practice, supplemented with explanations and background information.

Who is Dr. Matild Kovács, chief physician?

Specialist in musculoskeletal rehabilitation (rehabilitation medicine):This specialty  deals with the functional restoration of musculoskeletal injuries, wear and tear diseases, spinal and joint complaints, and post-operative conditions. The goal is not only to reduce pain, but also to help the patient:

• be able to walk again, bend down, lift, dress,

• return to work or normal daily activities,

• be as little dependent on others as possible.

In clinical practice, this is an individualized, complex program that can consist of several elements:

• Pain relief (medical, local, physiotherapeutic solutions)

• Physiotherapy, strengthening and mobilizing exercises

• Adaptation of individual exercise sequences to the patient's current condition

• Training plans: staggered joints and muscles

• Equipment advice: posture correction tools, walking frame, cane, special insoles

• Ergonomic advice: how to sit, stand, lift safely

• Patient education: the patient should understand what is wrong, why they are doing what they are doing, and what they should practice at home

Prevention is especially important at an older age:

• prevent muscle loss (deconditioning),

• prevent falls,

• reduce the risk of hospital readmission,

• maintain  independence  (dressing independently, washing, shopping).

Geriatrics/gerontologyspecialist

Geriatrics specializes specifically in the medical care of people over the age of 65. It does not treat a single disease, but sees a whole person, often with several chronic diseases (e.g. high blood pressure, diabetes, joint wear, memory impairment). Gerontology is the science of aging more broadly  – along with biological, psychic and social processes.

Geriatrics – not just "care for the elderly", but a complex medical specialty

Geriatrics focuses on the complex, integrated care of older people . Dr. Matild Kovács emphasizes:

• polypharmacy is common  (many types of drugs in parallel), which can cause side effects and interactions,

• Reduced mobility, chronic pain and cognitive decline may be present at the same time,

• The goal is not only to survive, but to have a quality life for as long as possible.

Rehabilitation in geriatrics  is not only physical, but:

• functional (what can be done independently),

• cognitive (memory, attention),

• social (community relations, reduction of loneliness) dimensions.

Lifestyle medicine / lifestyle counseling: Scientifically examines how nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, and social relationships affect  health. It is not a "fad diet", but:

• laboratory values,

• pre-existing diseases,

• hormonal status,

• and age-specific recommendations.

Lifestyle counseling – why not a "luxury" but a basic?

Lifestyle  determines the background of all medical interventions. According to Dr. Matild Kovács:

• nutrition,

• physical activity,

• sleep quality,

• the level of stress,

• and the quality of social relationships

all have a direct impact on the outcome of rehabilitation.

What does lifestyle counseling give?

• helps  to create realistic, small changes in small steps,

• supports  the reduction of the need for medicines where possible;

• improves energy levels, mood, sleep,

• in the long term, it can slow the progression of chronic diseases.

Hormone harmony consulting:

Fine-tuning the hormonal system at the intersection of endocrinology and internal medicine. Not necessarily just drug hormone therapy, but:

• thorough examination,

• hormone profile assessment (e.g. thyroid, sex hormones, cortisol),

• lifestyle and dietary modifications,

• if necessary, targeted medical treatment.

Goal: better energy levels, sleep, mood, muscle strength, weight control, healthy aging.

Hormone harmony counseling – what does it mean medically?

The hormonal system is the body 's fine-tuning regulatory network. If the balance is out of balance:

• Fatigue

• weight gain or unjustified weight loss,

• sleep disorder

• mood swings,

• decreased libido,

• loss of muscle strength,

• Hot flashes, anxiety, arrhythmia can occur – in a combination depending on age and gender.

Dr. Matild Kovács's hormone harmony counseling usually consists of the following steps:

1. Detailed history

   • symptoms, lifestyle, stress, sleep, family history, previous illnesses.

2. Laboratory and hormone panel examination

   • thyroid gland (TSH, T3, T4),

   • sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone – according to age),

   • adrenal hormones (e.g. cortisol),

   • metabolic and inflammatory parameters.

3. Set personalized goals

   • energy boosting,

   • weight management,

   • normalization of sleep,

   • relief of menopausal or andropause symptoms,

   • increasing muscle strength and vitality.

4. Dietary and lifestyle recommendations

   • hormone-friendly eating habits,

   • adequate protein and micronutrient intake,

   • incorporating sleep and stress management techniques,

   • regular, individualized exercise.

5. Medical therapy if necessary

   • Only in justified cases, under the supervision of a specialist, is targeted medication or hormone replacement treatment considered.

The emphasis  is on prevention, fine-tuning and safety.

Innovative infusion therapies – how do they fit into all this?

Innovative infusion treatments (e.g. vitamin infusions, antioxidant infusions, NAD⁺ infusions) can be useful complementary tools in a medical environment, with appropriate indications.

What does "innovative infusion" mean?

Intravenous solutions that:

• larger quantities,

• They allow a more usable intake of active ingredients than what would be achieved orally (tablets, capsules) in some cases.

Common ingredients (always based on a doctor's decision):

• vitamins (e.g. vitamin C, B vitamins),

• minerals, trace elements,

• antioxidants (e.g. glutathione),

• NAD⁺-related preparations,

• other individualized infusion "cocktails".

Why is it only recommended with medical supervision?

Because infusion therapy is not harmless wellness, but a medical intervention:

• necessary  medical history assessment,

• review of laboratory results,

• individual risk assessment (cardiovascular, renal function, drug interactions),

• strict sterility,

• continuous monitoring during the infusion.

At an older age, with polypharmacy, caution is especially important.

What are the goals of rehabilitation and geriatrics?

In properly chosen cases, innovative infusions can support:

•  regeneration after surgery or a serious illness,

• improvement  of energy levels and exercise capacity,

• rapid  correction of micronutrient deficiencies,

• support of the immune system (e.g. as an adjunctive therapy in case of recurrent infections),

• general well-being as part of a complex rehabilitation program.

However, it is important to emphasize that infusions do not replace basic medication, movement therapy, or lifestyle changes, they can only be supplements that fit into the medical concept.

Current scientific directions – where are these fields heading?

According to Dr. Matild Kovács's summary:

•  Musculoskeletal rehabilitation is  increasingly moving in a personalized, functional, weight- and muscle strength balancing direction.

•  Geriatrics now places great emphasis on maintaining cognitive and social activity – this improves balance and reduces the risk of falls and depression.

• In  the field of lifestyle counseling, instead of fast, drastic diets, long-term sustainable habit formation with behavioral science tools comes to the fore.

• In  the field of hormone harmony, precision medicine is  playing an increasingly important role: biomarkers, genetic factors, personalized approach.

• The  development of innovative infusion therapies aims at more accurate dosing, better safety systems and personalized application – under close medical supervision.

The future: integrated, digitally assisted care

The vision of the future outlined by Dr. Matild Kovács:

• Integrated care: it does not treat the joint, hormone, sleep and state of mind separately, but as a whole.

• Digital devices: smart devices, activity trackers, sleep monitors can help with tracking.

• Ethical data analytics and artificial intelligence: support early detection, risk assessment, and therapy tuning.

• Prevention-centered approach: the goal is to reduce the number of serious illnesses, hospital admissions and loss of function as much as possible.

What next?

Dr. Matild Kovács's message is simple, but very important:

"Health is not a distant goal, but a continuous state that we shape with our everyday decisions. Prevention, regular exercise, a balanced lifestyle and personalized professional support together provide the basis for long-term well-being."

The next step:

• It is worth turning to a specialist who deals with musculoskeletal rehabilitation, geriatrics, lifestyle medicine, hormone harmony counseling in an integrated way –

• and supports  regeneration through the use of innovative infusion therapies where needed  , all in a safe, medical environment.

This is how a complex, personalized treatment is put together that  leads to a longer, more active, more independent life.
