Land Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany Feb 23, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - MedTech Spectrum has published a new interview with Tobias Burkhardt, Founder of Paretofit, exploring how founders, CEOs, and other high-stress professionals can build sustainable health routines without relying on unrealistic “perfect weeks.”

In the interview, Burkhardt explains how he synthesised insights from 1,000+ scientific publications into a streamlined, execution-first coaching framework built around the 80/20 principle: focusing on a small set of high-leverage fundamentals across training, nutrition, sleep/stress management, and behavior change.
Key takeaways from the interview (highlights):
-
Synthesis beats information overload:
The differentiator is not collecting research, but translating robust evidence into simple, realistic routines. -
“Measurable” means everyday-life measurable:
Tracking focuses on practical signals such as sleep duration/quality, training adherence and progression, steps/activity, and subjective markers like energy, mood, and perceived stress. -
Design for real weeks, not perfect weeks:
Plans are built to survive “normal Tuesdays” (poor sleep, heavy calendars, limited bandwidth) so progress can compound over months and years. -
Stability first, optimisation second:
For many executives, sleep and stress are the tipping points that determine whether nutrition and training stay consistent. -
Feedback loops drive adherence:
Regular structured check-ins (every 7–10 days) are used to simplify, iterate, and progress the system as real life changes.
“The real skill is not collecting papers, it’s synthesising what is robust, high-leverage, and realistic under real-life conditions,” Burkhardt said.
He also underlines that for high-performing professionals the goal extends beyond longevity to quality of life: “It’s not just adding years to life, but adding life to the years, so professional success doesn’t come at the cost of long-term wellbeing.”
