In most cases, a blood sample is taken at the first appoint­ment (micro­nu­trient analysis, fatty acid analysis, etc.). You should ther­e­fore refrain from taking any non-​essential medi­ca­tion on the day of your appoint­ment and not take any dietary supple­ments for at least the day before.

Twelve hours before your appoint­ment, you should not eat or drink anything apart from water. If you have diffi­culty staying sober for this long, you are welcome to take a small break­fast with you and eat it imme­dia­tely after the blood sample has been taken.

So that you know what to expect, we have compiled the most important points for you here:

1. check the prac­tice docu­ments for comple­teness and update the data (medical history form, treat­ment contract, insu­rance details)

2. anamnesis, discus­sion of exis­ting findings and neces­sary diagno­stics, nutri­tional check (approx. 1.5 hours) and exami­na­tions (blood pres­sure, VNS analysis, physical exami­na­tion) — often initial therapy recom­men­da­tions can be given based on these findings

3. blood sampling and, if neces­sary, expl­ana­tion of the labo­ra­tory tests that you can carry out at home

4. further appoint­ments and plan­ning of external exami­na­tions (e.g. perfor­mance diagno­stics, dental status or other specia­lists)

Please bring /​ note the follo­wing to your first appoint­ment: The first appoint­ment takes approx. 120 minutes, inclu­ding the intake inter­view, exami­na­tions, blood sampling and all expl­ana­tions. Please send previous findings (labo­ra­tory, doctor’s letters, imaging) and an over­view of your medi­ca­tion intake or dietary supple­ments in advance.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to settle the costs incurred via statu­tory health insu­rance funds. Those with statu­tory health insu­rance will receive an invoice in accordance with the GOÄ (scale of fees for doctors), which they must pay priva­tely (self-​payers).

We always charge accor­ding to the GOÄ (scale of fees for doctors). Due to the very high amount of time and discus­sion required, this is charged at 2.3–5 times the rate (depen­ding on the time required). There are costs that are not covered by private health insu­rance. You will then have to pay these costs yourself.
