Desire to have children & pregnancy

Individual support on your way to your dream child and throug­hout your pregnancy.
We offer compre­hen­sive support and indi­vi­dual thera­pies for couples who wish to have children and pregnant women. With state-​of-​the-​art diagno­stics, personal advice and custo­mized treat­ment plans, we create optimal condi­tions for concep­tion, pregnancy and birth.

SYMPTOMS

Preparation for pregnancy

Even a year before your active ferti­lity phase, it makes sense to find out whether you have all the nutri­ents you need and how you can opti­mally prepare your body for the upco­ming pregnancy.

Difficulties with conception

Many couples face chal­lenges in fulfil­ling their desire to have children, whether due to hormonal imba­lances, endo­me­triosis or other unclear factors.

Pregnancy complaints

Nausea, gesta­tional diabetes, back pain and the right supply of nutri­ents are common complaints and concerns during this important phase.

Approach

Observations

Many couples feel that their gynae­co­lo­gists and ferti­lity clinics do not provide compre­hen­sive care during the ferti­lity plan­ning period, as there is often a strong focus on stan­dar­dized, one-​dimensional treat­ment approa­ches. Individual health aspects, the supply of nutri­ents, nutri­tion, envi­ron­mental factors and emotional and psycho­lo­gical stress are usually not taken into account.

Forms of therapy

A compre­hen­sive conside­ra­tion of the health of both part­ners, inclu­ding hormonal, nutri­tional and emotional aspects, is essen­tial for success on the way to the desired child and for a healthy pregnancy. We ther­e­fore distin­guish between three important phases.

Phase 1 — Approximately one year before the active ferti­lity phase, we assess your health status, analyze your nutrient supply, hormone status and cycle. Our team will give you recom­men­da­tions on how to improve egg quality and advise you on your diet and life­style.

Phase 2 — If pregnancy does not occur within a reasonable time frame or you have had one or more miscar­ri­ages, we can provide you with further support before taking the step of going to a ferti­lity center or accom­panying treat­ment at a ferti­lity center. We expand our diagno­stics, iden­tify the indi­vi­dual chal­lenges and specific problems of each couple on a func­tional level and develop a perso­na­lized treat­ment plan. We are also very aware of the emotional chal­lenges in this phase. We are by their side and help them to deal with them.

Phase 3 — Our support natu­rally conti­nues even after you have achieved pregnancy. We help you to ensure that you and your baby are opti­mally supplied with all nutri­ents during pregnancy and breast­fee­ding, monitor your meta­bo­lism and pay atten­tion to your emotional health (also, and espe­ci­ally, after the birth).
Every path to your dream child is unique, and every pregnancy is a special time. We support you with exper­tise and empathy to maxi­mize your chances of a healthy pregnancy and birth.

GOOD TO KNOW

We look forward to welco­ming you to our clinic. We take enough time to under­stand your medical history. Based on your previous findings, the completed medical history form and our diagno­stics, we will create a custo­mized treat­ment plan for you. Please note that you should come with an empty stomach (water is permitted) to enable us to make an accu­rate diagnosis.

We attach great importance to cost trans­pa­rency and will inform you of the costs incurred before treat­ment begins. Please note that private health insu­rance poli­cies are very unli­kely to cover all services. In such cases, you will have to bear the costs yourself. We will be happy to answer any ques­tions you may have about insu­rance cover, co-​payments or payment options.

To make your appoint­ment with us as conve­nient as possible, we offer you the option of simply arran­ging your consul­ta­tion online. You can choose between appoint­ments of 30 or 60 minutes, depen­ding on your needs. Alternatively, you can also leave us a message by phone and we will get back to you imme­dia­tely to arrange your appoint­ment.

To ensure effec­tive commu­ni­ca­tion, we ask you to select an appoint­ment option online. Be it for a face-​to-​face appoint­ment in the prac­tice, a video consul­ta­tion or a tele­phone consul­ta­tion. Alternatively, you can also leave us a tele­phone message.

Please under­stand that e‑mail inqui­ries cannot be answered due to time cons­traints.

Please note that repeat prescrip­tion orders will be processed with suffi­cient lead time (14 days). For prescrip­tion requests, please send an e‑mail to: rezepte@zentrum-funktionelle-medizin.de

We are aware of our respon­si­bi­lity and devote the utmost atten­tion to your concerns. The path of func­tional medi­cine requires pati­ence and it takes expe­ri­ence to develop solu­tions that enable health in depth. In doing so, we conduct rese­arch and talk to other specia­lists and thera­pists until we have found a solu­tion.
