Identify the underlying causes. Optimize your health.
Science as your guide.
I work on finding the underlying causes of what makes you ill and makes you age. The answers are rarely found in a single test result. They are found in the process.
Over 50 blood markers, chosen because they are relevant: hormones, inflammation, metabolism, nutritional status. And just as important: your own picture of how you feel, your symptoms, and your history, which you describe before the visit.
I spend a lot of time analyzing your values and your history before we meet. That preparation is what lets us explore in depth during our 60 minutes.
A written plan: what to change, in what order, and when we follow up. Treatment where it is warranted, never as a substitute for what actually does the work.
I hold every meeting myself, and the number of patients I take on is therefore limited. That means each visit can be prepared properly and the same physician follows you over time. The work gives the best results when we agree on the direction.
Persistent problems without a clear diagnosis. Gut, autoimmune, hormonal, fatigue. Conventional care has ruled out what is acute and what requires treatment, and you want to understand the whole picture.
Healthy but curious about how you are aging. You want to measure what can actually be measured, and optimize while there is time.
The plan rests on what you actually do between visits. Prescriptions rarely solve the underlying problem; lifestyle and biology do the work, and I say so when a medication is not warranted.
I have been a licensed physician since 2001, a specialist since 2013, and an Associate Professor at Sahlgrenska Academy (University of Gothenburg). My background is academic: a PhD from Karolinska Institutet and a postdoc at Harvard.
Over time I found healthcare’s focus on diagnoses and symptom treatment, rather than underlying causes, unsatisfying. That led me to functional medicine. My particular interest is longevity: how we extend the number of healthy years in a life.
As a researcher at Karolinska Institutet and Sahlgrenska Academy I have supervised three doctoral students to their PhD and authored a number of peer-reviewed publications in journals including Lancet and Nature. My dissertation on HPV and cervical cancer was awarded the Chorafas Prize.
All consultations are held by me.
Every deeper assessment includes the full Health Assessment. If you have already done it within the past year, you do not pay for it again.
An annual check-up with the full panel is included at every level. Three-month minimum term, then month by month.

Beyond being medically excellent, you are very skilled at the human side of patient care. I find you very present and attentive, someone who sees the whole person. With your help I feel sharper and much better. Thank you!
I had long-standing problems with rashes on my face and body. Nathalie Helm took a comprehensive approach to my symptoms. I feel much better today. It is a relief to have a physician with deep medical knowledge who also sees the whole person. Thank you!
I sought help from Dr Helm due to weight gain. When I did an InBody scan, the situation became clear in a concrete and motivating way. I was given a structured plan with lifestyle advice that was easy to follow, along with treatment introduced where it was clinically indicated. The whole approach felt well thought out and tailored to me as an individual, giving me both insight and direction.
Dr Helm listened, asked the right questions, and went through my test results calmly and thoroughly. The plan I received was concrete and tailored to me, and I have followed it ever since. I feel considerably better today.

Book a visit and we will go through your situation together. Lab work, conversation, written plan, for decades.
My patient consultations take place by video. You can book with me wherever in Sweden you live. Lab work is done at Synlab on a drop-in basis (fasting, in the morning) or at one of Synlab’s partner clinics.
Functional medicine is a systematic way of looking for the underlying causes of symptoms, rather than only treating the symptoms themselves. I use the same diagnostic tools as conventional medicine, but I interpret them according to optimal levels and complement them with a lifestyle analysis. I do not replace your regular care, I complement it.
Want to talk first and see whether we are a fit? Choose the phone consultation (1,500 SEK). Want a personalized plan? Choose the Health Assessment (7,500 SEK), the foundation everything else builds on. Want to go deeper, in menopause, metabolic health, physical health, or whole-body MRI? We choose a deeper assessment based on your lab values. Want to be followed over time? There is the membership.
A blood analysis without interpretation is just numbers. The core of my Health Assessment is the 60 minutes where we go through together what the values mean for you, in your context. You receive a written, personalized health plan to return to, and the option of follow-up over time. The value is not in the lab results themselves, but in what happens after.
