With decades of clinical experience at the intersection of physical and emotional health, Dr. Barthe has spent much of her career navigating the realities of aging — joint degeneration, muscle loss (sarcopenia), and the wear-and-tear conditions that too often go unaddressed until they define a person's daily life. Her dual expertise as medical doctor and board-level psychotherapist means she rarely treats a body without attending to the mind behind it.

Before settling into her current practice, Dr. Barthe served as a physician with Médecins Sans Frontières in Chad and Bangladesh — work that deepened her belief that easily applied, honest medicine is what people in real difficulty actually need.

Dr. Barthe holds her medical degree from Göttingen University and is a board-level member of the German psychotherapy credentialing system. She sees patients in Dresden and continues to write and speak on healthy aging, behavioral medicine, and the psychology of long-term wellbeing.

She believes your second half of life can hold your most brilliant years — if we address the pain, stiffness and muscle loss that quietly steal that potential. Her five daughters are now in their 30s and 40s, and helping them age well is part of what drives the Stay STΔRK platform.
