Thyroid diseases

are among the most common chronic conditions of all. Many sufferers experience fatigue, exhaustion, weight gain, palpitations, sleep disturbances, restlessness or difficulty concentrating for years on end – often accompanied by uncertainty as to whether the thyroid is actually the cause of all their symptoms.

Some patients have already undergone numerous tests. Others are told that their lab results are „normal“, even though they still feel unwell.

At our private practice, we take your symptoms seriously. Together, we look not only at laboratory results and ultrasound findings, but at the whole person, taking into account their individual medical history.

The thyroid gland (Thyreoidea)

is one of the organs in which the benefits of integrative medicine are particularly evident.

Modern endocrinology, nutritional medicine, phytotherapy, orthomolecular medicine, psychotherapy and traditional Asian medical systems are not mutually exclusive – they can complement one another effectively when applied in a scientifically sound and personalised manner.

We take plenty of time to carry out a thorough assessment. Together, we will discuss your medical history, existing laboratory results, ultrasound and scintigraphy findings, your current symptoms and any treatments you have already undergone.

We will then work with you to draw up a personalised diagnostic and treatment plan. In doing so, we will discuss together which measures are appropriate and which may not be necessary.

Understand. Contextualise. Support.

Many people come to my practice because they want to understand their symptoms and test results better. I particularly often support patients in the following situations:

Despite treatment, you are still experiencing symptoms typical of thyroid disorders.
In your view, your current lab results and how you’re feeling don’t seem to match up.
You would like to gain a better understanding of the causes of your symptoms and tackle them holistically.
You are looking for holistic support to complement your specialist medical care.
You are suspected of having Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease.
Nodules have been detected in your thyroid gland (nodular goitre) and surgery has been recommended.
You would like help with adjusting your thyroid medication.
