Healthy in old age

Vitality and lots of joie de vivre for as long as possible.
It’s not just about living longer, but also about maxi­mi­zing our years of life with good health and a high quality of life. This also includes the preven­tion and manage­ment of age-​related dise­ases such as osteo­po­rosis. We are dedi­cated to helping people live healthy and fulfil­ling lives into old age. With a holi­stic approach that combines the latest medical findings with indi­vi­dual therapy concepts, we aim to alle­viate the typical symptoms of ageing and improve our pati­ents’ quality of life.

SYMPTOMS

Decrease in physical performance:

Despite an active life­style, many older people notice a gradual decline in their physical perfor­mance, such as reduced stamina or slower reco­very after physical exer­tion.

Declining cognitive abilities and memory problems:

These affect mental clarity and are a common concern in old age. Many people expe­ri­ence slight delays in memory or find it more chal­len­ging to concen­trate on complex tasks.

Nutrition

Nutritional needs change with age. After a certain age, many people often find it diffi­cult to find the right balance in their diet to main­tain their energy levels, preserve muscle and bone mass and regu­late their weight at the same time.

Approach

Observations

Ageing affects all of us, some sooner, some later. Of course, we have a genetic predis­po­si­tion that influences our ageing, but there is also much more that we can influence ourselves. These include diet, physical acti­vity, the quality of our sleep and the impact of external factors such as envi­ron­mental pollut­ants, drin­king alcohol or smoking. By making conscious decis­ions in these areas, we can exert a posi­tive influence on our quality of life and health in old age and make the most of our years.

Forms of therapy

Through a targeted medical history, we work toge­ther to find possible ‚pro-​ageing factors‘ and uncover exis­ting dysfunc­tions or defi­ci­en­cies with a detailed labo­ra­tory analysis. We can then slow down the ageing process with targeted micro­nu­trient substi­tu­tion, indi­vi­dual dietary changes and, if neces­sary, hormone repla­ce­ment therapy (oest­ra­diol, proges­te­rone, testo­ste­rone, preg­nen­olone, DHEA).
We also place a special focus on the preven­tion and treat­ment of osteo­po­rosis through nutri­tional advice, opti­miza­tion of bone meta­bo­lism and physical trai­ning.

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.
