Maria Prokopiadou: Guiding patients through longevity and holistic care

At Viva Glow Drip, holistic medicine does not stop at diagnostics or treatments. It begins with understanding. One of the key people responsible for translating medical insights into meaningful, personalised care is Maria Prokopiadou, holistic medical advisor and one of our consulting experts.

Maria Prokopiadou plays a central role in helping patients understand their bodies, their longevity goals and the reasoning behind individual treatment plans. Her strength lies in connecting medical information with real life, turning complex findings into clear, actionable guidance.

A holistic background built on practice and education

Maria Prokopiadou’s professional path combines medical knowledge, dermatological expertise and holistic health education. She is a certified dermatological cosmetician, medical specialist and trained medical assistant, with many years of hands-on experience in clinical environments, aesthetic medicine and holistic dermatology.

Her background includes long-term work as a medical assistant in practices with a strong focus on alternative and complementary medicine, where she managed patient care, practice organisation and consultations. This experience shaped her ability to see the patient as a whole – not just a set of symptoms – and to consistently look for the underlying causes of health imbalances.

In addition, Maria Prokopiadou has worked for many years as a senior cosmetician and later as a lecturer and school director at an international beauty academy, teaching dermatology, anatomy, holistic cosmetic theory and medical care. This educational background enables her to explain medical and biological concepts in a way that patients can truly understand and apply.

Expertise in hormonal balance and fertility support

Alongside her work at Viva Glow Drip, Maria Prokopiadou is actively involved in a gynaecological practice, where she supports couples on their journey to having children. Her role focuses on holistic consulting in cases of hormonal imbalances, particularly adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism, which are often overlooked factors in fertility challenges.

By analysing lifestyle patterns, stress load, micronutrient status and hormonal regulation, Maria helps patients restore balance in systems that are essential for reproductive health. Her work bridges conventional gynaecology with holistic medicine, supporting the body’s natural capacity to regulate itself and create the right conditions for conception.

This experience adds a valuable dimension to her work at Viva Glow Drip, especially when supporting patients with complex hormonal, stress-related or energy-related concerns.

Expertise in holistic consulting and longevity guidance

At Viva Glow Drip, Maria Prokopiadou is one of the main points of contact for patients seeking clarity. She supports clients before, during and after their treatments, helping them navigate longevity concepts, laboratory results and individual therapy strategies.

Her work focuses on:

• explaining blood test results in an understandable way
• guiding patients through personalised longevity and wellness plans
• supporting treatment decisions in collaboration with the medical team
• creating holistic treatment concepts that combine IV therapy, lifestyle optimisation and regenerative aesthetics

Her experience in supplement consulting, micronutrient optimisation and lifestyle counselling allows her to bridge the gap between diagnostics and daily habits. Patients benefit from this practical perspective, as it helps them integrate treatments into real life rather than viewing them as isolated interventions.

Holistic dermatology and aesthetic understanding

With her background in holistic dermatology and Traditional Chinese Medicine–influenced approaches, Maria brings a deep understanding of how skin health, inflammation, nutrition and internal balance are connected. This knowledge is particularly valuable for patients whose goals include aesthetic wellbeing alongside longevity and vitality.

Her work emphasises long-term skin health rather than short-term cosmetic effects. She supports treatment plans that respect regeneration cycles, individual skin biology and internal influences such as oxidative stress, hormonal balance and nutrient status.

A human-centered approach to patient care

What truly defines Maria Prokopiadou’s role at Viva Glow Drip is her ability to listen. Patients often arrive with vague symptoms, uncertainty or overwhelm. Maria creates structure and calm by helping them understand what is happening in their bodies and why specific steps are recommended.

Her consulting style is empathetic, clear and grounded. She does not overwhelm patients with information, but guides them step by step, ensuring they feel confident and involved in their own health journey.

Advanced functional diagnostics

Another important pillar of Maria Prokopiadou’s holistic work is her expertise in advanced functional diagnostics. She specialises in hair mineral analysis, a diagnostic method used to identify mineral imbalances and potential heavy metal exposure over a longer period of time. Unlike blood tests, which often reflect only short-term values, hair mineral analysis provides insight into chronic exposure and long-term metabolic patterns. Based on these findings, Maria supports patients with structured, gentle strategies aimed at reducing heavy metal burden and strengthening the body’s natural detoxification capacity.

Finding imbalances with a holistic approach

In addition, Maria works extensively with stool testing to assess intestinal dysbiosis and gut imbalance. Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiome, where beneficial bacteria are reduced and harmful microorganisms may dominate. Such imbalances can affect digestion, immune regulation, nutrient absorption and even hormonal balance. By interpreting stool test results in a holistic context, Maria helps patients understand how gut health influences energy levels, inflammation, skin health and overall wellbeing, and supports the development of personalised plans to restore intestinal balance.

Multilingual skills: German, Greek, English

A further strength of Maria Prokopiadou is her multilingual capability, which allows her to support a diverse, international patient base. She consults fluently in German, Greek and English, ensuring that complex medical information, diagnostic results and treatment strategies can be communicated clearly, accurately and with cultural sensitivity. This creates trust, clarity and a strong therapeutic relationship, especially important in holistic, long-term care.

Together, these competencies reinforce Maria Prokopiadou’s role as a holistic medical advisor who connects diagnostics, detoxification, gut health and personalised guidance into coherent, patient-centred treatment concepts.

A key pillar of the Viva Glow Drip philosophy

Maria Prokopiadou embodies the Viva Glow Drip philosophy: combining medical competence with holistic thinking and genuine care. Her work ensures that longevity is not just a concept, but a comprehensible and achievable goal for each patient.

As a holistic medical advisor and one of our core consulting experts, Maria Prokopiadou plays an essential role in creating personalised treatment plans that support quality of life, long-term health, fertility balance and aesthetic wellbeing, always with clarity, compassion and professional integrity.
