In 2007, he founded Dr Baumann Cosmetic AG at Lake Constance primarily in order to create a facility that could accommodate training courses in healthy skin care and healthy nutrition. In 2008, he founded Hotel Swiss Vegan – which features a vegan restaurant – at Lake Constance. It is the first vegan hotel and restaurant in Switzerland.
Dr. Henrich has followed a vegan diet for many years, as has his dog Felix, who is now 17 years old and in the best of health.
