From twenty years in intensive care to a decade ahead of it

Dr. Erietta Galani is the founder and medical lead of minus10med in Athens. She spent twenty years in intensive care units in Athens and Brussels, holds a PhD in cellular immunology and a master's in health crisis management, trained at Stanford in AI for healthcare, and is a certified Longevity Physician. She leads every protocol personally.

Who is Dr. Erietta Galani?

Dr. Erietta Galani is an internal medicine and intensive care physician who now practises longevity medicine in Athens. She qualified at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, completed a dual specialty in internal medicine and intensive care, and spent two decades managing human physiology at its limits, first in Athens and then in university hospitals in Brussels.

Intensive care is an unusual training ground for preventive medicine, and it is precisely why she practises it. In an ICU you watch the last chapter of processes that began quietly fifteen or twenty years earlier: the coronary event that a calcium score would have predicted, the metabolic collapse that a body composition scan would have flagged, the cancer that presented late because nobody was looking.

"Every patient I treated in intensive care arrived too late. Longevity medicine is how we learn to arrive on time."

What are her qualifications in longevity medicine?

The immunology doctorate matters more than a line on a table suggests. Inflammatory tone connects the microbiome, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk and cognition, and reading those domains as one system rather than four reports is the core competence of this practice.

How does she use artificial intelligence in patient care?

Her Stanford training in machine learning for clinical data informs a deliberately conservative position: models read first, physicians decide last. Software is used to surface interval change across imaging and to fuse five domains of data into one longitudinal picture. It is not used to make a diagnosis, to communicate a finding, or to write a protocol.

Patients notice the consequence rather than the method. Nothing arrives in your inbox as a raw risk score without a physician's sentence attached to it, and no flagged shadow becomes a referral before a doctor has looked at it. The reasoning behind that sequencing is described in more depth on the VIP AI-Guided Diagnostics page.

Will I see Dr. Galani personally?

Yes. She leads every minus10med protocol personally: the synthesis consultation after your panel, the interpretation of the VIP diagnostic day, and the quarterly reviews that follow. Specialist colleagues at our partner clinic contribute dermatology, imaging and laboratory expertise, and their findings return to her before they reach you.

Consultations are held at Notia MedCare in Glyfada, on the Athenian Riviera, and by secure video for patients who travel. Both formats are described on the contact page, and the network behind the clinical work is set out on the partners page.

What does she actually believe about aging?

That aging is measurable, and that what is measurable can be changed. Not reversed in the marketing sense, and not stopped, but shifted: a pace of aging that runs slower than the calendar, a risk map redrawn before an event rather than after one, and a body composition at sixty that would have been respectable at forty-five.

She is equally clear about the limits. Some therapies carry decades of clinical evidence and some carry promising early research, and patients are told which is which before they consent to anything. Where a claim cannot be measured on a follow-up test, it is not made here. If that approach fits how you think, the tiers are laid out on the programs and pricing page.
