The KnowYourPhysio Team

Hi, I am Andres Preschel

CEO and founder KnowYourPhysio

Physiologist

I believe that knowing your physiology, the very science that makes you who you are, is the best thing you can do to optimize your health, bolster your performance, look and feel your best, and enjoy a longer and more fulfilling lifespan.

My dedication to this field derives from a very personal place, as it was through my own health improvement journey and love for the sciences that I stumbled upon the enhanced state of consciousness between mind, body, and spirit where healthy intentions met actionable steps and lasting, positive lifestyle change. I call this “physiological intuition,” and to me, it’s a human right that everyone should enjoy.

Now, after ongoing years of study and time-in-the-trenches, access to leading experts and some of the latest tools and tech, a world-class team, and a bottomless well of passion in my quiver, I am fully dedicated to you and your personal scientific self-discovery.

Alopecia Universalis Recoveree, Primal Health coach

Diagnosed with alopecia universalis in college, I embarked on a harrowing journey, navigating the depths of “autoimmune disease”, which rendered me unrecognizable even to myself. Amidst a whirlwind of doctor visits, ineffective treatments, and the brink of despair, I turned to the wisdom of my childhood—a profound connection with nature, its intricate symphonies, and the quantum tapestry it weaves. By embracing ancestral nutrition, circadian rhythms, and mastering the autonomic nervous system, underpinned by quantum biology, I reclaimed my health and vitality.

Today I am a certified Primal Health Coach I’m passionate about helping others improve their overall health and wellbeing. I’ve always had a natural inclination towards health and wellness, and getting certified as a health coach has allowed me to turn that passion into a career. I find it incredibly rewarding to see my clients make positive changes in their lives and witness the impact it has on their overall wellbeing.

I graduated in Audiovisual Production and Cinematography. I have 2 years of experience in the area. This experience has allowed me to expand my creativity, as well as a more open mindset in order to transfer ideas that work from one sector to another. I am currently studying a Master in Digital Marketing & E-commerce, since I believe that these studies will give me tools for the new digital age.

I am a super passionate person in everything I do, I put a lot of energy when working on things that excite me, so I like to give my 100%. I really like diversity and working with people who, like me, are perfectionists and non-conformists.

Everyone can uncover their potential with the right knowledge and tools. No matter the challenge, we are all able to optimize our human performance to live a happier, more robust life. This starts by understanding your uniquely innate physiological abilities.

My experience integrates human movement and physiology with coaching and leadership. I am an avid lover of all physical activity and enjoy diving deeply into the art of movement science. I am in the process of becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy so that I may extend my impact on others. With enough patience, effort, and guidance, we may all achieve our greatest success and wellness goals.

Health and Lifestyle Coach

My journey in understanding the determinants of human health first required me to heal my own issues.   Being a child of immigrants, raised in an upper-middle-class household,  I have a funny mix of innate ambition and comfort – like a lot of my clients.  With that said, my mom was mentally ill and passed away when I was 17, and as a consequence, I grew up in a house with a lot of trauma and anxiety, with resulting stomach pain, sleep issues and emotional distress.

To heal, psychotherapy and even pharmacology has helped, a lot.  However, one hour of therapy cannot fully touch on the day-to-day actions needed to have good days.  Trying to solve my own issues, I learned that most of life is lived in the mundane – movement, sunlight, sleep, work, eating.  Many of us really compromise one or many of these because of work or family stressors, and these little decisions really add up.  

I love helping others get stable and then thrive in each area of their life, all of which affects health.  My education through the Institute of Functional Medicine,  and my background in coaching, training & business development inform my work.
