What is preventive medicine? What is functional medicine?

Preventive medicine and functional medicine means holistic medicine. The way it should be.

Preventive Medicine - The Medicine of the timeline

Preventive medicine is a holistic medicine that looks at your past, present and future. The path to chronic disease is almost never abrupt. A disease announces itself, often years (in the case of dementia 15-20 years) beforehand. However, during this time, a clear diagnosis can usually not be made until the disease has finally manifested itself, making effective therapy more difficult.
 
Maybe you are more and more forgetful in everyday life? Or you are plagued more and more often by headaches that you didn't have two years ago? You have noticed that you are exhausted more often even without a heavier workload? All of these at first glance insignificant and harmless disorders are already alarm signals for preventive medicine and are taken very seriously, because they can be signs of an incipient chronic disease or widespread disease such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, auto-immune diseases or other diseases. This is where preventive medicine comes in.
 

Functional medicine - The medicine of the "why"

Functional medicine is a medicine of biological complexity and the bigger picture. It does not divide the body into individual organs (and medical disciplines), which are then treated in isolation. Rather, they are part of a larger system.

Using diabetes as an example, this means that although it is primarily the pancreas that is most severely damaged in diabetes (type 1 diabetes), diabetes is not an organ disease but a systemic disease that has far-reaching causes and consequences throughout the body. It therefore makes no sense to treat only the diseased organ. The causes are so complex and multi-layered, that no effective treatment can be given without thoroughly answering the "why" question. Functional medicine (like pathogenesis ) seeks these answers, not just in isolation in the affected organ, but in the whole related system. Everything is connected.

How do we help you?

This is how your highly individualized, holistic therapy works:

  • When you come to our practice, we first take a comprehensive picture of your symptom and disease history in various subject areas, such as sleep complaints, psyche, sensory organs, cardiovascular system, nutrition, etc.. But the family medical history also plays a central role for this. Here we clarify whether, for example, the mother suffers or suffered from rheumatism, obesity , etc. Only in such a thorough way can we specifically identify the causes of your current ailments and at the same time possible future diseases or problem areas. In addition, we examine your environmental impacts (e.g. mold, dental metal) from the point of view of Environmental medicine.
     
    This anamnesis appointment usually lasts 60 minutes (as a 2nd consultation) and costs € 236.07 according to GOÄ (Gebührenordnung für Ärzte). For some patients, this appointment may take longer depending on the complexity.

We can offer our consultation to privately insured patients as well as to patients with statutory health insurance as self-pay patients. You can easily book appointments in our preventive medicine yourself via our online calendar here:

Good to know

Will my health insurance cover the cost of functional or preventive medicine?

Preventive medicine means personal responsibility.

As a rule, the statutory health insurance funds only cover the costs of early detection of cancer. However, our medicine starts even earlier, goes into depth and involves many different factors to give you a thorough picture. These are individual health services ("individuelle Gesundheitsleistungen", IGeL services). These are not part of the usual scope of services provided by the statutory health insurance funds and must therefore be paid for by you. We will bill you directly.

From experience, private health insurance companies already partially cover some costs (depending on the tariff). For example, common laboratory tests or consultations are partially covered. This is a positive development and reflects the general shift towards more prevention in medicine. What is important for you here: Please find out about your individual tariff. Again, we will bill you directly and cannot guarantee which costs your health insurance will actually cover in your individual case. Likewise, we cannot conduct any correspondence with health insurance companies. In any case, please expect to have to bear the costs yourself. Your own health also means personal responsibility. A certain service should be worth it to you even without a coverage through the health insurance.

An overview of consulting fees according to GOÄ (Gebührenordnung für Ärzte):
 
- 1 consultation (60 min) costs 236,07 €. Some patients request a 30 min consultation first, this costs 118,03 €.
- 1 study of the findings (only in the case of extensive reports) with a written physician's report on the interpretation of the findings (for therapy and measures), depending on the time required (between 30 and 60 min, longer in the case of dementia patients) costs €67.03 (30-40 min each) or €102.00 (60 min each). The time required depends on the complexity of the findings and can also be longer than 60 min.
