Andrea Kiewel is afflicted with hypochondria.
Andrea Kiewel, the popular TV host living in Tel Aviv, recently penned a contribution for the "Jewish General" about her excessive health concerns. Known to her fans as "Kiwi," she admits to suffering from hypochondria, an excessive concern about her health.
Despite her health worries, Kiewel has hosted her TV show, "ZDF-Fernsehgarten," while battling illnesses such as tonsillitis, various middle ear infections, and even mumps. Her parents, who worked while sick with a fever of 39.5 degrees, instilled a strong work ethic in her, and being sick was not an option.
This Sunday, "ZDF-Fernsehgarten" will feature guests Nelson Müller, Semino Rossi, and Patrick Lindner, with Kiewel returning to the show. The theme for this week's episode is "Schlagerparty meets Küchenschlacht."
In a bid to understand longevity better, Kiewel visited the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv. She was invited by a newspaper to learn about the Longevity Center, a division of the hospital dedicated to extending human lifespan. During her visit, she underwent various measurements, tests, and brain teasers.
The Longevity Center created an avatar with all Kiewel's data to present the optimal version of her. However, her real results, as opposed to the optimal version, need to be optimized according to the Centre's standards.
Kiewel's excessive health concerns cause her to worry terribly about anything that happens inside or outside her body when she hears about a health issue. A rare eye infection, for instance, is an example of a health issue that causes her worry.
Last Sunday's live show from Mainz was canceled due to sports broadcast finals. Despite the setback, Kiewel remains optimistic about her health journey and her future on "ZDF-Fernsehgarten."
