At ARD GESUND we want to explain this in a comprehensible, well-founded and relaxed manner – in other words, give the community a good-natured orientation in today’s flood of information and support them in living healthily. I think that’s a great, meaningful one Task. I’m also allowed to do nonsense every now and then. In my opinion, there is no better combination. I’m really looking forward to it.”
