Mario D. Richardt: Mach dich schlank

In the organizer's words:

Around 80 percent of all severely overweight people suffer from insulin resistance - including the well-known TV presenter of "Mach dich ran"

A moment in his life that changed everything - live on television. Mario D. Richardt was confronted with an uncharming statement in front of the cameras: You've put on quite a bit of weight! This embarrassing moment turned out to be a turning point in Mario's life. Why was he constantly putting on weight even though he hadn't changed his eating habits?
The diagnosis of insulin resistance hits him like a bolt from the blue. And he is not alone: a significant proportion of overweight people struggle with this problem. With touching candor and a good dose of self-irony, Mario D. Richardt shares his personal insights and experiences in his practical nutrition guide.

Mario D. Richardt, born in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg in 1976 and at home in Saxony since 1997, began his television career as a child actor for television and on the theater stage at the age of ten. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he completed his training as a painter and varnisher with a journeyman's certificate, only to return to television shortly afterwards. At the age of 24, he won the Saxon Television Award for the comedy show "Pommes mit Mario", which he developed and hosted, and at 25 he became head of the editorial team at regional broadcaster Oberlausitz TV. Since 2001, he has been the face of the successful MDR show "Mach dich ran" and many other formats on the station. He has presented over 1400 TV programs to date.
Richardt is the presenter and producer of several podcasts, including "kernig & gesund - Der Gesundheitspodcast", for which he was awarded the DGA Journalist Prize in 2022.
