Individual prevention

With the right prevention and health promotion, we help to ensure that chronic, mental and physical illnesses occur less frequently or can be treated at an early stage. At gynXtra, we pursue these goals, which will become even more important in the future.

Strong thanks to a healthy intestine

Strong despite chronic diseases

Preventing familial risks: the interaction of hereditary factors and nutrition

For about 20 years, research has been dealing with the topic of a very personal and ideal diet. This field is called "nutrigenetics" and sheds light on the interaction of hereditary factors and nutrition. The focus is primarily on diseases such as obesity, diabetes (type 2), high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and cancer. The search is on for gene variants that lead to an increased risk of such diseases. The goal is to determine the ideal diet for each person to stay healthy or reduce the risk of disease.

Influencing gene regulation

Lifestyle and environment influence the packaging of our genes. Stress, trauma, disease, lack of sleep, exercise, sport or diet all affect gene regulation, as do climate change, particulate matter and pesticides.

A nutrigenetic test will show you the probabilities that your genetic predisposition provides in relation to lifestyle. In our nutrigenetic consultation, we make individualized recommendations for the prevention of certain diseases and for sustainable lifestyle changes.

Duration and cost:
Initial appointment for diagnostics and individual examination and consultation.
Follow-up appointment to discuss the results after approx. 10-14 days.
Package with two appointments of 45 minutes: CHF 900
Laboratory costs according to expenditure.

Strengthen digestive health: The intestinal analysis and intestinal prevention

The intestinal flora is an important part of the immunological network that is central to health. Diet, lifestyle, medication use and stress affect our gut bacteria and can throw the gut ecosystem out of balance.

Our therapies are low-invasive and sustainable. We get to the bottom of their symptoms and offer individual intestinal diagnostics.

Allergies and food intolerances

Food intolerances can manifest themselves in the form of abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence or diarrhea; other signs are chronic fatigue or rheumatic pain. A blood test provides information about intolerances to a wide variety of components in food.

Strong into old age

A new generation of older women wants to experience a healthier, more energetic and satisfying old age. In recent years, aging women's medicine has focused only on their hormonal situation and lower body. However, aging also takes place in the mind and soul! In the 60's, the trend came, "Take hormones and your sexual life is fulfilled to the end!" That is not quite the case. Of course, the ovaries are deficient in hormone production. But the aging process of women is more complex. The question arises, "At what point do we call a woman older?" There is no clear definition. The older phase of life begins around age 60. Of course, certain symptoms begin in perimenopause and menopause. Cardiovascular disease occurs due to the lack of estrogen, bone density deteriorates, dry vagina, bladder weakness and frequent bladder infections plague the aging woman. Hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones has its place, if it is really indicated. Healthy aging means many things: a balanced micronutrient status, plenty of exercise, a healthy diet, no overweight, no smoking and only moderate alcohol consumption. But how we age, with all external and internal aids, ultimately takes place in our heads. We women are not "Forever Young." It is important to accept the process of aging, get help to age healthier and see this process as an opportunity. Quite simply: "Strong until old age!"

Improve life quality despite chronic diseases

Women want to grow old with a high quality of life and good health. But the reality is different for many women: Growing old is often associated with getting sick, being chronically ill and even suffering from several diseases at the same time. Chronic illnesses are a great challenge for the women affected and for their relatives. The goal of women with the disease is to integrate it into their daily lives and to organize their days as autonomously as possible.

More and more women worldwide and especially in the industrialized nations are chronically ill. This also affects pregnant women, women in childbirth and women who have recently given birth. Affected women have to cope with the general challenges of becoming a mother in addition to medical interventions and drug treatments. During the period around menopause and beyond, women with chronic illnesses are faced with numerous new symptoms. Often, these women are in the middle of their careers. "Menopause as a job killer?" No, it doesn't have to be. Hippocrates once said, "The gut is the father of all tribulations." A healthy microbiome, balanced micronutrient status, use of potent botanicals, bioidentical hormones, and a balanced lifestyle can do much to improve well-being at any stage of life.
Through prevention and health promotion, we help to ensure that chronic mental and physical illnesses are less likely to occur or can be treated at an early stage. At gynXtra, we pursue these goals, which will become even more important in the future.
