Target groups
Patients with Inflammatory/Autoimmune Diseases
The efficient and well-regulated functioning of the immune system is essential for defending against infections and maintaining overall health. In contrast, dysregulated or excessive activity of immune cells often leads to autoimmune diseases (such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or chronic inflammatory bowel diseases) or to chronic, low-grade inflammation. This type of persistent inflammation contributes to the development and progression of numerous conditions, including heart attacks, strokes, dementia, and degenerative diseases of the skeletal system.
We address these conditions through an individualized approach aimed at reducing inflammation. A key component of this strategy is an immunologically tailored, carbohydrate-reduced diet combined with the supplementation of natural anti-inflammatory agents. In cases of more severe symptoms, adherence to a ketogenic diet may be recommended due to the immunomodulatory properties of ketone bodies.
Additionally, we focus on optimizing metabolic processes and hormonal balance. Each of these aspects is thoroughly assessed, and a personalized therapeutic plan is developed for every patient. Our goal is to achieve significant symptom relief while reducing or even eliminating the need for painkillers and/or immunosuppressive medications such as corticosteroids.
Tumor Patients
Tumor growth and metastasis are strongly influenced by inflammatory processes. Factors such as obesity, a high-carbohydrate diet, and an unhealthy lifestyle contribute to this pro-inflammatory state. In addition, conditions like irritable bowel syndrome can promote chronic, low-grade inflammation that may further impact tumor progression.
Our therapeutic approach for oncology patients focuses on minimizing systemic inflammation by optimizing metabolic balance. Temporary or sustained adherence to a ketogenic diet can offer multiple benefits for cancer patients, potentially influencing disease progression and improving the tolerability and effectiveness of conventional therapies.
These benefits include
- Enhance the patient’s own activity and alleviate depressive symptoms
- Decrease chronic inflammation that contributes to tumor growth and metastasis
- Strengthen the immune response targeted against the tumor
- Stabilize and lower blood sugar levels to inhibit tumor growth by counteracting the Warburg effect
- Improve the tolerability of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, potentially increasing their effectiveness
Patients with Metabolic Diseases/Obesity
Poor dietary habits and an unbalanced lifestyle often lead to metabolic dysregulation, initially presenting as obesity, elevated blood sugar, and altered blood lipid levels. These imbalances frequently contribute to the development of lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and gout. These conditions, in turn, increase the risk of more severe illnesses, including heart attacks, strokes, and tumors. Through dietary changes—specifically adopting an immunologically adapted, low-carbohydrate diet—along with comprehensive lifestyle modifications, these metabolic disturbances can be effectively corrected. This approach can reduce chronic inflammation, support weight management, improve blood lipid profiles, and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Patients with exhaustion syndromes (burnout, CFS)
Patients with exhaustion syndromes experience a marked decline in physical, mental, and often emotional performance. They struggle to manage stress, frequently suffer from disturbed sleep, and endure a pervasive “leaden” fatigue that makes daily life challenging. This condition may arise from chronic overwork, exist as a standalone disorder, or occur as a secondary or comorbid condition alongside various underlying diseases, such as autoimmune or tumor-related illnesses. Those affected find the state of exhaustion highly distressing, with a significant impact on their quality of life.
Exhaustion syndromes can often be substantially improved through interventions aimed at reducing chronic inflammation. Key strategies include consistent regulation of metabolism and hormone levels, adherence to a low-carbohydrate diet, targeted supplementation, and appropriate physical activity. Additional therapies such as physical therapy and acupuncture may also support recovery.
Following a thorough medical history review and laboratory evaluation, we develop a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs.
Long COVID/Coronavirus Vaccine Side Effects (Post-Vaccine Syndrome)
Long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome are two recently recognized clinical conditions linked to the coronavirus spike protein. They often present with similar symptoms, although it remains unclear whether the virus, the vaccine spike protein, or both are responsible for triggering the disorder. Symptoms are frequently chronic and suggest mitochondrial dysfunction, including fatigue, brain fog (difficulty concentrating and finding words), muscle pain, headaches, palpitations, shortness of breath, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and signs of mast cell activation.
Diagnosing these syndromes requires comprehensive laboratory testing, while effective treatment involves an extensive, multimodal approach. This may include infusion therapy, nutritional supplementation, dietary and lifestyle modifications, and potentially physical therapy. Managing these conditions demands considerable clinical experience, along with patience and active cooperation from the patient.
Prevention
To prevent disease, it is important to address multiple interconnected aspects of daily life. Alongside laboratory testing of relevant parameters, we evaluate the key pillars of a healthy lifestyle: nutrition, gut health, hormonal balance, stress management, quality sleep, and physical activity. Based on this comprehensive assessment, we develop a personalized prevention plan.
The goal is to slow cellular aging, reduce metabolic stress, and strengthen the immune system—factors that can also support effective weight manageme
Longevity
Aging is a major risk factor for serious conditions such as tumors, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and dementia, often leading to a decline in physical and mental performance. The cellular mechanisms underlying aging are complex, with one key contributor being a chronic immunological condition called “inflammaging.” This refers to a persistent, low-grade, systemic inflammation that progresses silently over time. Additionally, a decline in hormonal function further accelerates the aging process.
Our anti-aging approach focuses on minimizing chronic inflammation by addressing its root causes and restoring hormonal balance. We emphasize the core pillars of a healthy lifestyle: immunologically adapted nutrition, gut health, hormonal regulation, stress management, quality sleep, and regular exercise. Based on a thorough assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan to support healthy aging and enhance longevity.
Athletes
Athletes often face two key questions regarding their diet:
- How can I achieve the optimal strength-to-load ratio for my specific sport—that is, maximize muscle mass while minimizing fat tissue?
- What type of nutrition best supports my performance during training and competition?
A personalized “Metabolic Flexibility” nutrition plan can effectively address both questions. Depending on individual goals, it can help increase or better define muscle mass while reducing fat. By lowering insulin production and stabilizing blood sugar levels between training sessions, athletes can enhance training adaptations and improve recovery. For competition, a tailored nutrition strategy with an optimized carbohydrate-to-fat ratio can be developed to maximize performance. This approach is suitable for endurance, strength, and speed-focused sports alike.
