Bio-identical hormones
Information on bio-identical hormones according to the Rimkus method
As an endocrinologically trained practice specializing in hormone diagnostics and therapy, we also offer individually tailored supplementation with nature-identical hormones (RIMKUS method) in addition to the classic hormone substitution therapies for the menopause.
Hormones play a crucial role in our bodies throughout our lives; they control our development, influence our personality, regulate many metabolic processes - and are unfortunately often responsible for various problems. From the menopause onwards in particular, but also before, fluctuations or the decline and later disappearance of the body's own hormones lead to degenerative changes, mood disorders, accelerated signs of ageing, etc. (which also affect men, incidentally, and are referred to as "andropause").
Hormones have decisive medical effects: they maintain our metabolism, protect against osteoporosis, reduce the risk of bowel cancer and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, they can improve muscle and joint complaints, have a clear benefit for skin and hair, ensure better sleep, mental balance, better resilience (psychologically and physically) and slow down ageing processes.
We offer very differentiated care for hormonal issues by being able to make a good assessment of the situation through detailed anamnesis and laboratory blood tests and then offer appropriate therapy concepts, whether with products from the pharmaceutical industry or bio-identical hormone therapies specially produced for you by the pharmacy. Not only the "classic" female hormones oestrogen and progesterone are used here, but also testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone or 5-HTP as required.
