Johann Ilgenfritz attained his Master in Photography in Germany, working successfully as a Fashion Photographer for almost 20 years in Hamburg and London. His life changed drastically in 2011 when he had a heart attack and six month later was diagnosed with cancer.
After unsuccessful Radio Therapy he was left to find other survival options—which he did. During his search for a cure he turned to the internet, soon realising that there was no one central point where you could turn to for reliable online heath information, regardless of what your health issues are. He decided on creating just such a platform and launched UK Health Radio, still fighting cancer at the time.
After overcoming cancer through nutritional and lifestyle changes, he earned the title “The Curator of Health Expertise” from the press. His guiding principle is simple: “Good health is a choice.” Initially, he saw cancer as the root of his illness but later realised it was merely a symptom of an already unwell body. He understood that by addressing the underlying cause, he could transform the outcome.
With this vision, UK Health Radio (https://ukhealthradio.com/) has embraced a clear mission: to inspire and empower people to take responsibility for their own health. This does not mean taking your health into your own hands, but to be part of the process of attaining and/or keeping your health freedom. It is all about being informed, being empowered, taking action and being healthy!
UK Health Radio delivers information through 41 shows airing 24/7, reaching over 1.5 million very dedicated listeners and is now also available on 11 podcast platforms worldwide.
In February of 2024, Johann created The Alkaline Collective Mastermind (https://alkaline-collective.com/), a dedicated online community for those battling cancer, aiming to prevent it, or striving to stop its recurrence. Designed for individuals who are committed to becoming part of their healing journey, willing to put in the necessary work, hold themselves accountable, and seek a comprehensive toolbox of resources. He focuses on elevating consciousness across four dimensions: IQ (Intellectual Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), SQ (Spiritual Quotient), and PQ (Physical Quotient). In essence, the Alkaline Collective Mastermind is all about fostering an alkaline (pH) environment at the cellular level in your body—an environment that is inhospitable to cancer growth and promotes it’s eradication.
Johann is also the author of Reversing Cancer – You Caused It, You Can Reverse It: The Philosophy of RECNAC. The title is undeniably bold and may spark controversy—particularly the phrase “you caused it.” Yet this statement is rooted in compelling evidence. Research shows that only 5% to 10% of cancers worldwide are linked to inherited genetic mutations, meaning that the vast majority—90% to 95%—are influenced by our lifestyle choices, with nutrition and toxic overload standing out as major contributors, as well as environmental factors. This book explores the empowering philosophy that if our actions contribute to illness, they can also pave the way to health and healing.
He has been recognised with the ‘Inspiration – Holistic Therapist Business Awards’ (2017) and ‘The Best You Awards’ for Best Up-and-Coming Inspirational Influencer (2019).
