Service

Nutritional medicine and micronutrient therapy

Medical nutritional medicine with whole-blood micronutrient analysis, hormone status and targeted substitution — aligned with migraine prophylaxis, pain therapy, sports and chronic exhaustion.

Targeted nutritional and micronutrient therapy meaningfully complements established treatment in many areas — from migraine prophylaxis through chronic pain to exhaustion and load situations. The starting point is always a comprehensive laboratory work-up. Substitution is used where a deficiency or a clearly defined clinical need is demonstrated — never blanket recommendations.

Fatigue, frequent migraine, long recovery after sport or persistent exhaustion often have several causes — sometimes the micronutrient or hormone balance plays a part. Medical nutritional medicine investigates these questions in a structured way, rather than recommending supplements across the board.

It starts with targeted laboratory diagnostics, often as a whole-blood micronutrient analysis, supplemented by iron, hormone and metabolic values. On this basis we discuss where a deficiency or need actually exists and put together an individual plan — via nutrition and, where necessary, targeted substitution (as a tablet, injection or infusion).

This counselling is a medical service and differs from commercial nutritional advice. Substitution is used where it is demonstrably useful — at normal levels, topping up usually brings no advantage. Where needed we integrate the therapy with pain, migraine or sports medicine.

Diagnostic scope

  • Whole-blood micronutrient analysis: magnesium, zinc, selenium, vitamin B complex, vitamin D, B12, folate
  • Iron status with ferritin, transferrin saturation, optionally soluble transferrin receptor
  • Hormone status: thyroid (TSH, fT3, fT4), cortisol daily profile, optionally sex hormones
  • Inflammation and stress markers (CRP, hsCRP, homocysteine, vitamin B6/12)
  • Extended metabolic and lipid profile
  • Amino-acid and fatty-acid profile for specific questions (e.g. sports, migraine, IBS)

At a glance

  • Starts with targeted lab diagnostics (whole-blood analysis)
  • Individual substitution & nutrition plan
  • A medical service — not commercial advice
  • Substitution only where a need is documented

Common applications

  • Accompanying therapy for chronic pain and migraine
  • Exhaustion and load syndromes, post-viral exhaustion
  • Iron deficiency with or without anaemia
  • Vitamin D and B12 deficiency — diagnostics and substitution
  • Sports-medical optimisation of recovery and load tolerance
  • Counselling for chronic inflammatory processes
  • Migraine triggers and individual nutritional recommendations (e.g. histamine intolerance, IBS)

Procedure flow

  • 1First consultation (60 min): history, complaints, prior findings, lifestyle, training and nutrition situation
  • 2Targeted laboratory diagnostics — via the practice or a local laboratory
  • 3Findings review with individual substitution and nutrition plan (oral, i.m. or i.v.)
  • 4Follow-ups with therapy adjustment based on clinical and laboratory response
  • 5If indicated: coordination with pain therapy, migraine clinic or sports medicine

Important notes

  • Micronutrient substitution is useful when a deficiency or clearly defined clinical indication is documented; at normal levels it is generally not additionally effective.
  • Food supplements do not replace a balanced diet — they complement where need exists.
  • This medical counselling does not replace specialist work-up of specific conditions (e.g. unexplained anaemia, thyroid pathology).
  • Nutritional-medical counselling in the practice is a medical service; it differs from commercial nutritional advice (dietician).
