Physician – Medical Director of the Linus Pauling Prevention Center
A physician with vision, depth and commitment
Dr. Werner Faché is the inspirer and medical director of the Linus Pauling Prevention Center, where he is dedicated to an integrated, personalized and preventive form of medicine. His approach rests on three pillars: science, prevention and personal attention.
He is a licensed family physician and studied medicine at Ghent State University, with additional training in orthomolecular medicine, epigenetics and lifestyle medicine. He earned the ELMO certification in Lifestyle Medicine and is also a certified health coach.
Dr. Faché focuses on early detection and adjustment of silent processes such as chronic low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic disturbances and epigenetic imbalance – with the goal of maintaining health, stimulating recovery and delaying aging.
Dr. Werner Faché - Visionary and founder of the Linus Pauling Prevention Center
Dr. Werner Faché is more than a physician with decades of clinical experience – he is a visionary within modern medicine who constantly dares to question and push the boundaries of conventional care. As founder of the Linus Pauling Prevention Center, he built a new form of medical care: one that does not wait for illness, but proactively guides and strengthens health.
Driven by deep expertise in lifestyle medicine, biogerontology, epigenetics and nutritional interventions, Dr. Faché combines the best of modern science with a nuanced, personalized approach to each patient. His vision? That good medicine today means delaying aging, delaying or avoiding chronic diseases, and guiding people to live longer in optimal health.
A doctor with a mission
Dr. Faché is convinced that the future of medicine lies not in reactive treatments, but in a science-based approach to prevention, precision and personalization. He notes that many conditions considered “inevitable” today – such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, dementia – are in reality often the result of modifiable factors such as diet, stress, exercise, sleep, environmental influences and nutrient status.
Through his work, he aims not only to empower patients, but also to help transform medical thinking:
“Our job as physicians is not only to save lives, but also to monitor quality of life – and that starts long before the first symptoms.”
An authority with academic depth
With a background in mainstream medicine, extensive training in nutritional and epigenetic medicine, and decades of practical experience, Dr. Faché connects the medical with the scientific. His approach is based on solid literature, objective diagnostics, biomarker analyses and continuous continuing education in the international scientific community.
Doctor for patients and guide for colleagues
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Faché is committed to inspiring physicians to adopt a more preventive, ethical and forward-looking approach to care. From the Linus Pauling Prevention Center, he offers space for collaboration, peer review and reflection. Because only together can we reinvent medicine.
