Reducing stress with the help of stress medicine
Reducing stress has never been as important as it is today. The WHO has declared stress to be one of the greatest health risks of the 21st century. Even regular jogging or cycling to “air out” your head and a slim figure are no guarantee that your body will not suffer massively from constant stress. Experience in our practice and the measurement of heart rate variability show us this. This is a safe test to see how stressed the body’s systems really are. And that scares many people. And rightly so!
Preventive stress medicine can help you to cope with stress and support you in recognizing and avoiding stress-related health risks – and in staying strong and vital in the long term!
Constant stress damages your health
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls many vital bodily functions, such as breathing, digestion and metabolism. The activating sympathetic nervous system protects the body from danger – “fight or flight” – and allows it to react at lightning speed to external or internal demands. Via the parasympathetic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system calms the stressed organism, allows it to rest and replenish its energy reserves. In healthy people, these phases of tension and relaxation alternate. The person and their organism are in balance.
No trace of relaxation
Nowadays, however, professional, family and private stress factors such as anger, frustration, annoyance and anxiety are rarely reduced through the corresponding physical activity (sympathetic nervous system). Instead, the result is permanent stress. Body tension increases continuously. An imbalance develops in the vegetative nervous system (VNS). Normal regulation between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems is almost no longer possible.
The important activity of the parasympathetic nervous system for necessary repair processes in the immune system, cardiovascular metabolism and hormone system is inhibited. The organs can no longer be controlled and regulated by the VNS as required. This also leads to a constant and continuous decline in the adaptability of the entire organism. There is a risk of burnout, depression, viral infections, cardiovascular problems, fibromyalgia and many other chronic illnesses. diseases.
The consequences of constant stress!
- Disorders of the autonomic nervous system
- Migraine with aura
- Overweight
- Sleep disorders
- Overload to the point of burnout
- Metabolic diseases
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Hormonal imbalance
with symptoms such as exhaustion, listlessness, migraines, declining libido, moodiness, irritability
Stay at your peak performance!
Stress is what stresses your body! Give your body what it needs to cope with even peak loads in a relaxed manner.

Diagnostics
In stress medicine, everything is based on careful individual diagnostics. A detailed medical history and a special heart rate variability stress test provide us with information on how high your actual stress level is. The next step is to determine how the stress load is already affecting your body. To do this, it is important to compare your ACTUAL state of various parameters with an optimal TARGET state. Laboratory diagnostics tailored to your individual needs (hormone profile, neurostress, cortisone, intestinal check) provide information on this. For some people, genetic testing to identify hidden risk factors is also recommended to help them cope better with stress.
What your blood tells us about your stress level
You have probably already had a small or large blood count done. It’s easy to hear: “Everything’s fine”. What is all right is simply within the normal values of “average misery”. Modern orthomolecular medicine contrasts these “normal” values with powerful vital values. They are the goal that performance-oriented people should achieve. In addition, each person reacts individually to values that are too high or too low. Therefore, in addition to the detailed findings, your state of health is an important point of reference for therapy.
Therapy and prevention
The results of the diagnostics form the basis for individually selected preventive and therapeutic measures. This requires the necessary intuition for your symptoms. During the personal consultation, I point out the existing risk factors to my patients. I provide detailed and calm advice on where preventive measures are recommended and where therapeutic action is already required. The focus is on optimally supplying the body with all the micronutrients and, if necessary, hormones it needs to be strong, efficient and vital – even under high levels of stress.
Put an end to stress – in four steps
This therapy strengthens your personal protective shield against stress. So that the daily stress can affect you significantly less.
- Optimal supply of vital substances through vital substance infusions
Stress takes its toll and increases the need for vital substances. It is therefore important to know which vitamins, trace elements and amino acids your body is lacking and to supplement them. Only an optimally supplied body system can deal with stress in the best possible way. - Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
The hormonal balance contributes significantly to well-being. Hormonal imbalances should therefore be corrected, e.g. to improve the quality of sleep. - Fresh cell energy
Mitochondrial medicine is at the heart of innovative individual medicine. This is because the performance of the mitochondria generates the energy that all our cells and organs need for full performance - Breathe away the stress
Yes, you read that right. Sometimes the solution is quite simple. Deep, so-called vagus breathing activates the vagus nerve – one of the large cranial nerves. And it plays a key role in activating your parasympathetic nervous system. This means that relaxation works much better with correct breathing. What do you need to do? Do 15 – 30 minutes of breathing exercises every day, breathing in and out deeply. The effect is very beneficial.
Who should reduce stress or use stress medicine?
- People with high stress factors and demanding jobs.
- People with burnout syndrome or depression.
- Patients with chronic pain in order to normalize regulation and mobilize regenerative processes and self-healing powers through suitable therapies.
- Healthy people who care about prevention and a good health prognosis.
- People who are affected by interference fields in the dental, oral and jaw area or craniomandibular dysfunction.
