Dr. Volker A. Menzel

Dr. Volker Menzel is a dentist with more than 30 years of clinical experience, with a professional focus on implantology and periodontology. His work is shaped by a strong interest in the connection between nutrition, metabolic health, inflammation, and oral disease. After overcoming his own health challenges through ketogenic and carnivore nutrition, alongside long-term lifestyle changes including regular free climbing, Dr. Menzel developed a broader understanding of disease prevention and root-cause health. His personal transformation included improved metabolic markers, sustainable fat loss, increased muscle mass, and the resolution of neurological and vascular symptoms. These experiences led him to reassess conventional approaches to dental and overall health. Rather than viewing oral disease in isolation, Dr. Menzel emphasizes the role of nutrition, chronic inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction in supporting long-term dental and systemic well-being. Known as The Carnivore Dentist, Dr. Menzel educates others about the relationship between nutrition, oral health, and chronic disease. In April 2026, he completed the Carnivore Coach Mastery course through Carnivore Coach International and became a Certified Carnivore Coach, CCI.
