“Orthomolecular medicine is the maintenance of good health and the treatment of disease by altering the concentration of substances in the human body that are normally present and necessary for health.”— Linus Pauling (two-time Nobel laureate)

As one of the pioneers of orthomolecular medicine puts it, the goal is the targeted (re)balancing of essential building blocks in your body:

• Vitamins & Antioxidants
• Minerals & Trace Elements
• Essential Amino Acids
• Valuable omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids

Without these molecules, cellular processes come to a standstill, and regeneration takes longer. Whether used preventatively or therapeutically, orthomolecular medicine is an effective complement to conventional medical and osteopathic treatment—and a key factor in longevity, or healthy and vibrant aging.

We take a systematic approach here as well: Based on facts, we analyze your blood test results, your life circumstances, and the physical and mental stressors you face. Using this precise, comprehensive picture, we determine your individual needs and implement targeted, simple strategies to sustainably replenish your reserves.

WHAT A LITTLE THING CAN ACHIEVE.

“You are what you eat!”—there’s a lot of truth to this saying. Ultimately, our bodies are largely made up of what we put into them every day. Nutrition is a direct signal to our genes and the biochemical foundation for our metabolism, immune system, and mental clarity.

A whole range of trends emerge, disappear—and sometimes return: Ayurvedic nutrition, Glyx diets, blood-type diets, Metabolic Balance, low-carb diets, the teachings of Hildegard von Bingen—dietary philosophies are everywhere. None of them is wrong, but none is absolutely right for everyone either.

Everyone needs a personalized nutrition plan tailored to their genes and lifestyle. The good news: Changing your diet isn’t complicated at all. It rarely involves making major sacrifices. Even small—but consistent—changes to your daily eating habits can relieve your gastrointestinal tract, reduce silent inflammation, and bring about the first noticeable improvements.

The oldest form of medicine based on active ingredients known to humankind.

Plants, roots, flowers, and medicinal mushrooms have been part of our lives since time immemorial. From an evolutionary perspective, we have developed alongside them—medicinal plants and medicinal mushrooms are, so to speak, the original form of orthomolecular medicine and nutrition. In nature, complex active ingredients exist in a form that our bodies have known for millennia and can process optimally.

Whether in the tradition of Hildegard von Bingen, Far Eastern teachings, or modern scientific phytotherapy and mycotherapy, plant extracts and medicinal mushrooms offer a wide range of natural substances. They act as adaptogens to combat stress, modulate the immune system, strengthen organs such as the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract, and gently restore balance to the nervous system.

Here, too, our guiding principle applies: Health should be simple. Herbal formulas, tinctures, teas, and mushroom extracts are often precise, subtle tools for everyday life. They complement your diet, fill nutritional gaps in your body, and provide targeted support in areas where the skilled hands of an osteopath reach their biochemical limits.

Facts, not assumptions.

Where the skilled hands of an osteopath reach their limits, laboratory diagnostics provide clarity about your biochemistry. Reliable, modern naturopathy is based not on guesswork, but on clear data.

Through targeted analyses of blood, saliva, hair, stool, or urine, we examine your hormonal balance, the composition of your microbiome (gut flora), both subtle and obvious markers of inflammation, and your individual nutrient status. These well-founded results form the basis for your complementary medicine treatment plan—so that we know exactly where to focus our efforts to improve your health.
