Functional laboratory diagnostics – Holistic analyses for your health

In my practice and also online, I offer comprehensive functional laboratory diagnostics that go far beyond conventional standard tests. While classic laboratory analyses usually only detect rough abnormalities, functional medicine provides detailed insights into metabolic processes, micronutrient supply, immune reactions, and digestive functions.

Blood sampling for online treatments:

I cooperate with the IMD-Berlin laboratory, which sends the blood tubes directly to your home and picks them up by courier. All you need to do is have the blood drawn by your family doctor or other medical professional.

Precise laboratory tests can identify and specifically treat hidden causes of complaints such as chronic fatigue, digestive problems, intolerances, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies.

I work with state-of-the-art diagnostics and perform all available functional analyses offered by the renowned IMD Institute for Medical Diagnostics.

What functional medicine analyses do I offer?

1. Micronutrient and mineral analyses

A sufficient supply of vitamins and minerals is essential for energy, immune defense, and cell health. I offer, among other things:

• Intracellular mineral analyses (e.g., magnesium, zinc, selenium)
• Vitamins (vitamin D, B vitamins, vitamins A, C, E, and many more)
• Amino acid profile for analyzing protein metabolism
• Fatty acid status & omega-3 index for inflammation regulation

2. Heavy metal and detoxification analyses

Exposure to heavy metals can trigger a variety of chronic complaints. I test for:

• Heavy metal exposure (mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic, and more)
• Chelation therapy testing for the elimination of toxins
• Analysis of detoxification enzymes (e.g., glutathione status, oxidative stress, methylation capacity)

3. Gut health & microbiome analyses

The gut is the foundation of our health. I offer comprehensive stool and microbiome analyses, including:

• Gut flora analysis & microbiome diagnostics
• Leaky gut test to check the function of the intestinal barrier
• Histamine intolerance test (DAO, histamine degradation capacity)
• Zonulin test to analyze intestinal permeability
• Fungal and parasite analyses

4. Immune system & allergies

I offer comprehensive tests to detect allergies, intolerances, and immune reactions:

• ALEX test (high-precision allergy diagnostics for over 300 antigens)
• Histamine intolerance testing
• Food intolerances & IgG4 tests
• Autoimmune diagnostics (antibodies against the thyroid, intestines, nervous system, etc.)

5. Hormone & metabolism analyses

Hormonal imbalances can cause many symptoms. I offer the following, among other things:

• Thyroid profile (TSH, fT3, fT4, antibodies, iodine status)
• Daily cortisol profile (stress hormone testing via saliva or blood)
• Sex hormones (progesterone, estrogens, testosterone, DHEA, SHBG, LH/FSH)
• Adrenal and stress tests

6. Mitochondrial diagnostics – cellular energy & fatigue syndromes

The mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells and play a crucial role in our energy production. Functional limitations in mitochondrial activity can lead to fatigue, chronic exhaustion, post-COVID syndrome, long COVID, and neurological complaints.

I offer detailed mitochondrial diagnostics to check cellular energy production and initiate targeted measures for mitochondrial regeneration. This includes:

• ATP production & mitochondrial capacity
• Coenzyme Q10 status (essential for cellular energy)
• Lactate/pyruvate ratio as a marker for mitochondrial dysfunction
• Nitrosome stress analyses to detect oxidative stress that damages the mitochondria

A thorough examination of mitochondrial function is crucial, especially in cases of chronic fatigue, post-COVID symptoms, or burnout. A targeted therapy program with micronutrients, antioxidants, and regenerative measures can improve cell health in the long term.

7. SNP diagnostics – Genetic influences on your health

Our genes play an important role in our individual response to nutrients, inflammation, detoxification processes, and disease risks. By analyzing so-called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genetic predispositions that influence your health and metabolic processes can be identified.

I offer SNP analyses in the following areas:

• Methylation capacity (MTHFR, COMT, CBS polymorphisms) – influence on detoxification, folic acid metabolism, hormone breakdown
• Detoxification capacity (GST, NAT2, CYP enzymes) – Ability to excrete environmental toxins and medications
• Oxidative stress & antioxidants (SOD, GPX, Nrf2 gene variants) – Susceptibility to cell damage from free radicals
• Carbohydrate & fat metabolism (FTO, PPARG, APOE) – Influence on blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, and fat utilization
• Neurotransmitter genetics (COMT, MAOA, DRD2) – Influence on stress processing, dopamine, and serotonin metabolism

This genetic diagnosis helps to develop individual prevention strategies to specifically address genetic weaknesses and thus actively prevent disease.
