Career

In 2001, after a carrier in scientific research and upper management, the former marathon runner decided - after 20 years of a sedentary lifestyle - to reconvene with serious sport.

In 2008, after having successfully competed in several long-distance cycling events, he finished the Race Across America in 10 days, 22 hours and 56 minutes to cover a distance of 3.000 miles between Oceanside, California, and Annapolis, Maryland. Out of 27 solo-participants he finished in seventh position. Nehls devised a new regenerative strategy and rested a total of 91 hours, several times more than his compe*ors.

He wrote a book about his experience called "Herausforderung Race Across America" (Challenge Race Across America) and produced a DVD called "You need no victory to be a winner".

Since 2011, Nehls has published several books on the necessary behavioral changes required for healthy aging from an evolutionary history point of view. First "The Methuselah-Strategy" then with "The Alzheimer's Lie" and "Alzheimer's can be cured" two books about Alzheimer's disease, in which he presents his theory about the development of this special form of dementia from evolutionary history of life and systems biology point of view.

This was also internationally published under the *le "Unified theory of Alzheimer's disease (UTAD): implications for prevention and curative therapy." His breakthrough discovery regarding the development, preventiond and therapy of Alzheimer's disease, he received the Hanse-Award for Psychiatry 2015 from the University of Rostock, Germany.
