Physician – Specialist in Functional Medicine and Preventive Medicine

For Dr Estelle GRIMONET, the turn towards prevention was never an afterthought: it shaped her entire path. Her 2017 master's dissertation already examined medical ethics in the face of doping — that uncertain line between healing, repairing and enhancing the body. Her specialty dissertation, eight years later, addressed the prevention of weight gain in patients giving up smoking. Between the two, one continuous question: how to support a body as it changes, before disorder sets in.

A doctor of general medicine from the University of Toulouse, she deliberately built a complementary training path focused on the deep determinants of health: university diplomas in nutrition (Paris Bichat), in environmental medicine— a still-rare discipline studying how living environments act on the body — and in anti-ageing medicine (Paris Créteil). She is currently completing the Certified Longevity Physician programme of the Geneva College of Longevity Science.

Her clinical experience was built in broad-spectrum practice: a general medicine residency in Toulouse — internal medicine, rheumatology, emergency care — followed by several years of locum work in ambulatory medicine and with the SOS Médecins emergency service. Earlier, her undergraduate training in Dijon had taken her from paediatric cardiology, on placement in Vietnam, to hospital endocrinology and gynaecology.

She now practises in Paris, in preventive medicine and within a multidisciplinary centre dedicated to women's health. Her approach follows the principles of functional medicine: not merely silencing symptoms, but tracing back to the root causes of imbalances — nutrition, environment, lifestyle — and building personalised, lasting care.

Her conviction fits in a single sentence she has made her own: “For a culture of health and a preventive medicine.”Not waiting for illness before acting, but giving everyone the means to understand and maintain their health capital.
