Study Programs

The educational portfolio of Dr. med. Ingo Schmitz-Urban and fitnessdoc.net focuses on preventive health, nutritional medicine, and sustainable lifestyle transformation. Rather than offering formal academic degree programs, the provider delivers certified digital prevention courses, individual coaching, and corporate health services. The central programs are designed as self-paced distance-learning courses certified under Section 20 SGB V, which enables participants to receive full or partial fee reimbursements from German statutory health insurance providers. A primary offering is the online program Schlank ohne Diät, which translates to Slim Without Dieting. This digital course aims at sustainable weight loss without restrictive dieting, combining evidence-based nutrition science with behavioral psychology and mindset coaching. The program is recognized as a certified prevention course, making it eligible for statutory health insurance coverage of up to 100 percent of the participation fee. The course package includes digital materials and complementary physical starter resources. Another central program is the online course Meal Prep: So gelingt gesunde Ernährung im Alltag, developed in cooperation with chef and video creator Julian Lange and hosted via the wellfy platform. Registered under the official course identification number KU-ER-4J2641, this program teaches practical batch cooking and meal planning. The curriculum spans eight weekly video modules of 45 minutes each, totaling 421 minutes of instructional video material. Participants receive flexible platform access for six months, an accompanying digital recipe book featuring more than twenty recipes with shopping lists, and access to a digital cashback reimbursement service. The one-time course fee is 149 euros, which is typically subsidized between 80 and 100 percent by statutory health funds. In addition to structured self-paced online courses, Dr. med. Ingo Schmitz-Urban provides personal nutrition and lifestyle consulting. Prospective clients can book an initial consultation directly through the website to address individual fitness and weight management goals. For organizations, the provider delivers workplace health promotion services, known as Betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung. These corporate services take place through company lectures on topics such as brainfood, as well as on-site health screening initiatives for employees.

Application Procedure

Registration for online programs by Dr. med. Ingo Schmitz-Urban takes place directly online without formal academic admission requirements. The content is designed for healthy adults and does not constitute medical treatment or advice. Prospective clients interested in personal coaching can book a free, non-binding initial consultation via the website. Online programs such as Meal Prep feature flexible start dates and can be accessed at any time. Although the Meal Prep course is structured as an eight-week program, participants receive access to all materials for six months. The Meal Prep online course costs a one-time fee of 149 euros, payable upfront during booking. Because the programs, including the Meal Prep course with the course identification code KU-ER-4J2641, are certified prevention courses under Section 20 SGB V, statutory health insurers reimburse between 80 and 100 percent of the fee upon full completion. Statutory health funds in Germany typically fund up to two certified prevention courses per year. Participants can submit their completion confirmation independently or use an automated cashback service. For this digital reimbursement service, learners only need to supply basic information including their health insurance provider and IBAN.
