Area 06
Functional Medicine
Some complaints cannot be treated away. Targeted laboratory diagnostics can point to connections the hands cannot find: inflammatory processes, micronutrient deficiencies, a metabolism that has slipped out of rhythm.
Who it is for
With us, targeted laboratory diagnostics are not a last resort when a therapy stalls, but often the second pillar from the start.
For people with persistent tiredness, susceptibility to infection or digestive complaints. For athletes whose recovery no longer works. For anyone who wants to look after their health and understand their metabolism. And as a complement when a musculoskeletal therapy is progressing more slowly than expected.
Four reasons
FUNCTIONAL MED Blood Check
Prevention and a thorough overview of your health.
Performance Blood Check

How it works
From conversation to concrete step
Conversation
History, complaints, diet, sleep and load.
The question
What are we testing for? Without a question, a lab value is just a number.
Diagnostics
Blood draw here in the practice, analysis in the laboratory.
Discussion
We interpret the report and translate it into concrete steps.

Regeneration & Medical Performance
Recovery is not what is left over at the end. It is part of the plan, with device-based methods, infusion medicine and everything that helps the body do its work.

Frequently asked
The service pages carry their own questions, each specific to the topic.
Isn't laboratory diagnostics a matter for my GP?
A GP's blood panel answers different questions from a functional analysis. We are not out to replace medical diagnostics, but to add parameters that are rarely tested in daily practice, the micronutrient supply, for instance, or the interplay of inflammation and recovery.
What happens with the result?
The values do not simply arrive in your inbox. We go through the report together, place it in the context of your complaints and derive concrete steps, from diet through targeted supplementation to, where sensible, infusion therapy.
Does this replace a medical assessment?
No. If there are signs of an illness that needs treatment, we refer you to the appropriate specialist. We work alongside medicine, not in its place.
