Biography
Sabrina Mörkl is a Medical Doctor, Trained Psychotherapist (Integrative Behavioral Therapy), Acupuncturist, Deputy Student Teaching Coordinator for Psychiatry and Psychotherapeutic Medicine at the Medical University of Graz (MUG) and a Board Member of the Austrian Society of Medical Hypnosis (ÖGMH). In her doctoral thesis, she explored the gut microbiome of anorexia nervosa patients in comparison to other BMI groups and athletes. As nutrition is a critical influence factor for gut and brain health (which was also reflected by her study results), she began to focus on the important role of nutrition in psychiatric healthcare. In 2018, together with Dr Wagner-Skacel, she founded the first elective university course in Europe on nutrition-based- prevention and treatment approaches in psychiatric care.
