Understand & optimise hormone balance

A healthy hormone balance is essential for energy, performance, metabolism, muscle building, sleep and general well-being. However, hormonal imbalances often go unnoticed for a long time - they manifest themselves gradually through symptoms such as listlessness, weight gain, mood swings or exhaustion.

In our practice, we specifically analyse your hormone levels and help you to restore your balance - medically sound, clearly explained and solution-oriented.

Which hormones are analysed?

A balanced hormone system involves far more than just sex hormones. Among other things, we test

  • Testosterone & free testosterone - Important for muscle building, energy, libido and mental strength (also in women)

  • Thyroid values (TSH, fT3, fT4) - Relevant for metabolism, energy, body temperature and weight

  • Cortisol - as a stress hormone with influence on regeneration, sleep and fat distribution

  • DHEA, oestradiol, progesterone - depending on the issue (e.g. PMS, menopausal symptoms, cycle changes)

  • Vitamin D & Ferritin - Supporting markers for hormone regulation and energy balance

The parameters are selected individually - depending on the symptoms, training goal or previous history.

Medical evaluation & recommendation for action

After the venous blood sample is taken, your values are analysed in a specialised partner laboratory. This is followed by a medical consultation in which you will receive a detailed and understandable interpretation of your hormone situation - supplemented by specific recommendations for optimising your lifestyle, training or, if necessary, medication.

For whom is hormone analysis useful?

  • In case of unexplained tiredness, mood swings or loss of strength

  • For stagnation in training or muscle building

  • For loss of libido, sleep problems or cycle disorders

  • As a preventive check as part of preventive healthcare

Frequently asked questions

Typical signs can be

  • Decrease in muscle strength or performance

With a Hypothyroidism (hypofunction), the following symptoms may occur:

  • Increased tiredness and sensitivity to cold

  • Weight gain despite a normal diet

  • Slowed pulse, concentration problems

  • Hair loss, dry skin
    In many cases, mild hypofunction goes unnoticed - regular monitoring is therefore advisable.

Even small changes in everyday life can help:

  • Sufficient sleep and a regular sleep rhythm

  • Strength training and moderate endurance training

  • Stress management (e.g. breathing techniques, breaks)

  • Balanced diet with a focus on proteins, omega-3 and micronutrients
    We will give you specific recommendations on request - tailored to your blood count.

If you have one or more of the following goals or complaints:

  • Optimise muscle building

  • Understanding exhaustion or lack of motivation

    Then a targeted analysis is worthwhile - as a basis for clear measures.
