Hormone coaching and micronutrients

Strong through menopause

During menopause, many women experience changes in their mental and physical well-being. This awakens the desire for advice regarding ways to maintain health and vitality.

At gynXtra, we create a site analysis and an individual risk profile based on past medical and family history, during the first consultation. A laboratory analysis provides the values to assess hormone and vital substance levels in the blood. In a second session, the results are discussed and appropriate therapy strategies are discussed.

The aim of the consultation is to optimally guide you through the changes of perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, as well as to advise you individually on the advantages and disadvantages with regard to hormone intake. Suggested therapy can range from taking bioidentical hormones, minerals and vitamins to lifestyle coaching. The purpose of various preventive examinations will also be discussed.

Duration and cost:
Initial appointment for diagnostic testing and individual examination and consultation.
Follow-up appointment to discuss results after approximately 10-14 days.
Package with two appointments of 45 minutes: CHF 900
Laboratory costs CHF 300-500

Strong throughout the fertility cycle

Are you longing for a child, but so far it just hasn't worked out with the pregnancy? We have an open ear for your questions. From woman to woman, you can clarify the next steps with our experienced fertility specialists. We accompany you on your journey to your heart's desire. In our holistic fertility clinic, we inform you about natural, gentle and successful diagnostics and methods to realize your heart's desire.

Statistically, infertility occurs in equal proportions between men and women. That is why we are happy to consult you together with your partner. It is about optimizing and increasing the readiness to conceive, but also about optimizing your partner's sperm quality.

Hormonal balance, optimal micronutrient status, good mental balance and optimal microbiome status are essential for both partners. Herbal remedies support the woman's inner balance and can be successfully included in the preparation for pregnancy. A holistic approach makes it possible to avoid artificially engineered fertility medicine in many cases.

Exclude the possibility of diseases of the reproductive organs

A prerequisite for successful fertility therapy is the exclusion of disease present in the reproductive organs. Such diseases should be medically assessed and treated. This includes not only testing the patency of the fallopian tubes, but also diagnosis and therapy of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) reflects the egg reserve of the ovaries. Daily life and work stress can block not only fertility, but also desire. Arousal and erectile dysfunction can be discussed in a private setting.

After a detailed and individual consultation, we create your individual and targeted therapy plan.

Recovery after depression

The brain is one of the organs most dependent on nutrition. Mental well-being and brain performance are highly dependent on an adequate supply of all necessary nutrients.

• In the case of depression, an accompanying treatment with micronutrients is a promising therapeutic approach. The reasons are manifold:
  Micronutrients are required, among other things, to form messenger substances in the brain (neurotransmitters) or act as messengers themselves.
• Micronutrients are involved in energy metabolism, have anti-inflammatory effects, possess antioxidant properties and thus protect nerve cells.

These factors play a significant role in both the nervous system and mental well-being.

The targeted use of micronutrients during and especially after depression is given so much importance, as a relapse can be prevented and resilience is increased.

Microbiome analysis

The microbiome of people with depression differs from that of healthy individuals. In particular, butyrate-producing bacteria appear to be absent in depressed people. Certain probiotics may also reduce symptoms of stress. Studies have shown that certain gut bacteria may be a direct cause of depression. Thus, an altered microbiome and dysfunction of the microbiome-gut-brain axis may cause mental disorders. With targeted microbiome diagnostics and a gradual build-up of a healthy microbiome, depression can be positively influenced and a relapse into depression can be prevented.

Cannabidiol (CBD) can be used to support better sleep and reduce anxiety. Muscular tension, often a side effect of stress, can be successfully reduced

If desired, we are happy to work with your treating physician.

Strong after pregnancy

A healthy infant doubles its weight in the first four to six months after birth. An adequate supply of essential nutrients and micronutrients is therefore of considerable importance for the growth and health of the newborn, as well as for the maintenance of the mother's health.

Due to stress on the body following pregnancy, the mother's micronutrient reserves are exhausted. This is especially true of calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins A, D, E, K, C and vitamins of the B group, such as folic acid. In particular, for milk production, the reserves must be replenished quickly, which can be realized in the form of a balanced diet and careful food selection.

Supplementation with micronutrients

If it is not possible to cover the high requirements of all micronutrients during breastfeeding due to vegetarian or macrobiotic diets, among other reasons, supplementation of micronutrients is carried out in combination with a balanced and substantial diet.

Micronutrient preparations with a balanced ratio of vitamins, minerals and trace elements increase the body's own reserves, and provide sufficient nutrients during breastfeeding.

Strengthening the microbiome

We transfer a healthy microbiome to our newborn child. By strengthening our microbiome during and after pregnancy, we support our child in its well-being. If the parents have an allergic constitution, it is possible to prevent an allergic constitution of the newborn in the last third of pregnancy by strengthening the mother's microbiome.
