Johann Ilgenfritz attained his Master in Photography in Germany, working successfully as a
Fashion Photographer for almost 20 years in Hamburg and London. His life changed drastically in
2011 when he had a heart attack and six month later was diagnosed with cancer.
After unsuccessful Radio Therapy he was left to find other survival options which he did. During
his search for a cure he turned to the internet, soon realising that there was no one central point
where you could turn to for heath information, regardless of what your health issue are. He decided
on creating just such a platform and six weeks later, launched the beta version of UK Health
Radio, still fighting cancer at the time.
Through Nutritional and Lifestyle changes he finally beat cancer and since then has been named
“The Curator of Health Expertise” by the press. His mantra is “Good health is a choice”! He went
from believing that cancer was the cause of his illness to realising that cancer was only a symptom
of an already sick body. He knew if he could change the cause he would change the effect.
Through his vision, UK Health Radio (www.ukhealthradio.com) has attained a very clear purpose,
this is to inform and animate people to take responsibility for their own health. This does not mean
taking your health into your own hands, but to be part of the process of attaining and/or keeping
your health freedom. It is all about being informed, being empowered and being healthy!

topics - available anywhere today. All aspects of health and wellness, fitness, diet and nutrition,

Heralded on the cover of The New Republic as the man who “reinvented campaigning,” Joe Trippi pioneered bringing politics into the digital age and brings an added digital component to The Lincoln Project arsenal.

He has worked for Democrats at every level for more than four decades – from Ted Kennedy, Walter Mondale and managing Howard Dean’s groundbreaking presidential campaign in 2004.
