In March 2026, the EUNOMA Clinic team participated in the Congress of Internal Medicine for Practice in Olomouc, where our professional presentations were presented to doctors from all over the Czech Republic.
The congress was attended by MUDr. Bc. Jana Malinovská, Ph.D., Bc. Kateřina Kozáková and Mgr. Kristýna Březová. Our panel focused on topics that affect many patients in everyday practice: alcohol and smoking, nutrition as a neglected factor in relapse, and brief intervention for risky substance use.
Jana Malinovská presented the current perspective on the health risks of alcohol and nicotine products and emphasized that in addiction treatment, it is important to abandon the notion of a “safe dose” of alcohol. She also introduced the concept of lifestyle medicine, highlighting the connection between addiction treatment and movement, sleep, and nutrition.
Kateřina Kozáková focused on nutrition as an important but often overlooked factor in relapse. She reminded the audience that nutritional status, blood sugar stability, managing cravings, and concerns about weight gain can all play a significant role for people in addiction treatment.
Kristýna Březová presented brief intervention as a practical tool that can help physicians identify risky alcohol and tobacco use early. This type of sensitive, concise, and clear conversation can be highly effective in a clinical setting.
We believe that mental health care should always be understandable, sensitive and evidence-based. It is the connection of medicine, addiction, nutrition and prevention that makes sense to us and helps us bring useful and practical information to patients and colleagues in practice.
Participation in the congress was not only a professional opportunity for us, but also confirmation that there is increasing interest in topics such as alcohol and health, smoking, brief intervention, and nutrition in clinical practice.
