Hormone Optimization
Hormone optimisation is an approach in which deficiencies and imbalances are corrected with individualised treatment following a comprehensive laboratory evaluation of the thyroid, sex hormones, cortisol and metabolic axes.
Overview
Depending on age, sex and clinical picture, lifestyle adjustments, micronutrient support and, where necessary, evidence-based hormone replacement protocols are applied. Regular laboratory monitoring is carried out throughout treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hormone treatment started for every patient?
No. Lifestyle, nutrition and sleep optimisation are addressed first. Replacement therapy is recommended only for deficiencies confirmed by both laboratory results and clinical findings, using evidence-based protocols.
Are herbal or bio-identical hormones safer?
The preparations with the highest level of evidence for efficacy and safety are standardised, accurately dosed and approved products. The 'bio-identical' label alone does not guarantee additional safety.
Does hormone replacement create a cancer risk?
The risk varies according to the type of preparation, dose, duration and patient profile. With a properly selected patient and regular monitoring, the risk can be managed; there is no single general answer for everyone.
When is testosterone recommended for men?
It is recommended when there are clear clinical complaints (fatigue, loss of libido, muscle loss) together with a proven low testosterone level, after assessing any accompanying conditions.
