Dr. med. Ingfried Hobert

The educational and seminar portfolio of Dr. med. Ingfried Hobert focuses on integrative medicine, stress regulation, ethnomedicine, and personal health coaching. Academic degree programs such as bachelor or master degrees are not offered. Instead, the curriculum consists of online challenges, specialized distance courses, professional coaching certification tracks, and on-site health retreats and experiential study trips. Many educational formats bridge modern functional diagnostics and neurobiology with traditional healing systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Several interactive courses and practical workshops are conducted entirely online. Die Vagus Challenge is a digital self-regulation program developed alongside Remo Rittiner, teaching seven VagusFlow exercises alongside breathwork to strengthen the autonomic nervous system. Another online offering is the 21-day experience titled Erkenne, wer du in Wahrheit bist, presented together with consciousness coach Anke Evertz to address mindset alongside stress physiology and the microbiome. Additionally, the 28-Tage-Darmchallenge from Ethnomed delivers daily video lessons and digital handouts on gut health and nutrition, while Energetik Medizin is provided as an online course in collaboration with Birgit Fischer. Dr. Hobert also hosts a monthly digital consultation titled Dr. Hobert Live Online Sprechstunde every first Tuesday of the month. Professional training paths include structured coach certifications designed for health practitioners and interested individuals. Students can enroll in the Ausbildung zum Ethno Health Coach to become a certified Ethno Health Coach, learning practical applications of holistic plant medicine and indigenous healing knowledge. A related advanced course is the Masterclass: Ausbildung zum VagusCoach, which provides specialized instruction on the vagus nerve, nervous system regulation, and modern preventative health concepts. The institution complements its digital education with structured on-site events, clinical retreats, and travel seminars. Local on-site seminars take place at Lake Steinhude, such as the multi-day weekend event Das Neue Selbst held at Strandterrassen in Steinhude am Meer with guest speakers Dijana Wloka and Frauke Richter. Practice-based health cures, including the Vaguskur and comprehensive vital check-ups, are delivered on-site at the practice in Steinhude or during curated retreat weeks such as the Gesundheitstage at the Tamanga retreat center in Gamlitz, Austria. Specialized Fortbildungsreisen take place internationally, including educational sailing workshops called Soul Sailing in locations such as the Caribbean, Italy, the Aegean, Costa Rica, and Panama, alongside guided Ethno Reisen to Bali, Jordan, and Greece.
