When Your Body Reinvents Itself

Yes. You don’t need to have decided on a particular path beforehand. Together, we look at your symptoms, your health situation and what matters to you. From there, we can identify sensible next steps and any questions you may want to discuss with your gynecologist.

No. If you have recent medical or laboratory results, please bring them – they can be helpful in assessing your situation. We will decide individually whether any additional testing makes sense. Hormone testing is not automatically necessary or conclusive, particularly during perimenopause, as hormone levels can fluctuate considerably during this phase.

I can arrange many laboratory tests directly through specialized laboratories. Depending on the individual question, these may include micronutrient status as well as markers related to metabolism, thyroid function or bone health. We discuss beforehand which tests are actually useful – not every woman needs extensive laboratory testing.

We begin with a detailed medical history: What symptoms are you experiencing, when did they start, how have your cycle, sleep, weight or general well-being changed, and are there any medical conditions or medications we need to consider? We also review any existing results. From there, we develop an individual plan that may include nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress regulation, Ayurveda, micronutrients or further diagnostic steps.

Both are possible. Consultations can take place at my practice in Berlin-Mitte or online. Tests such as BIA or HRV/autonomic nervous system analysis and blood draws require an in-person appointment. If you don’t live in Berlin, some laboratory tests can also be arranged through your own doctors and we can then review the results together.

Yes. Hormone replacement therapy does not rule out complementary support. We can look at any symptoms that remain despite HRT and whether additional factors such as sleep, stress, metabolism, nutrition, exercise or micronutrient status may be playing a role. Prescribing or adjusting your hormone replacement therapy remains the responsibility of your doctor.

Yes – as a complement to medical care. I can help you assess your symptoms and individual situation and prepare for a well-informed conversation with your gynecologist. Whether HRT is suitable for you, which medication to use and at what dose are decisions you make together with your treating doctor.

Hormones are not the only way to manage menopausal symptoms. Depending on your symptoms and individual situation, options may include changes to nutrition, exercise and sleep, stress regulation, selected micronutrients, herbal preparations or Ayurvedic approaches. What is appropriate and safe always depends on your individual circumstances.

Yes. Supporting women with and after breast cancer is a major focus of my work. If you have had hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and are receiving endocrine therapy, my program “Safe & Stable Through Endocrine Therapy” is specifically designed for this situation. For other types of breast cancer, we can look individually at what kind of support is right for you.

My work does not replace gynecological care – it complements it. While your gynecologist is responsible for areas such as medical diagnostics, preventive care and prescribing hormone replacement therapy, my consultations give us more time to look at different aspects together: symptoms, nutrition, metabolism, sleep, stress regulation, exercise, micronutrient status and, where appropriate, Ayurveda and other complementary approaches. The aim is not to treat as much as possible, but to identify what is genuinely useful for you.
