heal. Metabolic Health Berlin – Part 1

Weight & Metabolism · Berlin Mitte

When diet and exercise alone aren't enough.

Stubborn weight issues rarely have just one cause. In our consultation we look at the biology behind them: insulin resistance, hormones, inflammation, gut health. Together we find what makes the real difference for you.

Why diet and exercise alone often don't work

Weight is the result of many systems working together. Addressing only the surface rarely leads anywhere lasting.

01

Metabolic causes often go undetected for years

Insulin resistance, subclinical hypothyroidism and chronically elevated cortisol can be measured in the lab long before values become formally abnormal. Standard check-ups rarely include these markers.

02

How the body stores energy depends on far more than calorie balance

Sleep quality, stress hormones, gut microbiome and nutrient status all influence how the body stores and burns energy. We look at all factors at once, not just a single value.

Is this right for me?

Our approach is for you if…

You're not losing weight despite a healthy diet and regular exercise, or you keep gaining it back

You suspect a hormonal cause: thyroid, menopause, PCOS or chronically elevated cortisol

You have elevated blood sugar, cholesterol or triglyceride levels and want to understand the real cause

You want to understand your metabolic risk early and positively influence it long-term

What sets us apart

At heal., we focus on the biology behind your weight.

We combine extended diagnostics, individual treatment planning, nutritional counselling and targeted therapy options into one coherent approach.

Diagnostics

Extended metabolic lab panel instead of standard blood work

Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP, thyroid, sex hormones, cortisol, micronutrients and microbiome. We measure what is actually relevant.

Treatment

Individual treatment plan based on your results

No generic recommendations. Based on your lab values, we develop a personalised plan covering nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle measures and follow-up monitoring.

Therapy

Infusions & targeted supplementation

Mito Energy, Myers Cocktail, detox infusions and other applications can specifically support cellular energy and metabolic function.

Time & depth

60–90 min. initial consultation

Nutrition habits, sleep, stress, medication, family history and existing results. Good metabolic support requires the full picture.

Our unique approach

Functional Medicine + Nutritional Counselling + Infusion Therapy for Weight & Metabolism

We are one of the few practices in Berlin combining root-cause metabolic diagnostics, individual nutritional counselling and targeted infusion therapy under one roof.

Focus Areas – Weight & Metabolism

What we investigate together

Insulin Resistance & Blood Sugar

Fasting insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, fasting glucose, blood sugar trends
Insulin resistance is one of the most common metabolic disorders and often goes undetected in standard lab work for years. We measure early and give you a clear picture of your blood sugar regulation.

Hormones & Thyroid

TSH, fT3, fT4, cortisol, DHEA-S, testosterone, oestradiol, progesterone
Thyroid, cortisol and sex hormones regulate energy metabolism, fat distribution and body composition. Targeted hormone diagnostics make these connections visible.

Inflammation & Immune System

hsCRP, ferritin, white blood cells, IL-6, autoimmune markers
Chronic inflammation is a central driver of excess weight and metabolic syndrome. We measure inflammatory markers and address the underlying causes directly.

Gut & Microbiome

Microbiome analysis, zonulin, digestive enzymes, gut flora
An imbalanced microbiome influences how energy is extracted from food, appetite regulation and insulin sensitivity. We analyse the gut as an independent factor in weight issues.

Metabolic Syndrome

Triglycerides, HDL, ApoB, Lp(a), blood pressure, waist circumference, blood sugar
Abdominal fat, elevated triglycerides, low HDL and blood sugar problems rarely come alone. We identify the pattern and provide root-cause support before it becomes a greater risk.

Nutrients & Supplementation

Vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, omega-3 index, B12, folate, iron
Magnesium deficiency, low vitamin D and insufficient omega-3 can considerably slow the metabolism. We measure your status and make targeted recommendations where they are meaningful.

Insulin Resistance & Blood Sugar

Fasting insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR. Detect insulin resistance early and address it specifically.

Hormones & Thyroid

TSH, cortisol, sex hormones. Differentiated hormone diagnostics for metabolism and body composition.

Inflammation & Immune System

hsCRP, ferritin. Making chronic inflammation visible as a driver of excess weight.

Gut & Microbiome

Microbiome analysis. Understanding the gut as a metabolic factor and addressing it specifically.

Metabolic Syndrome

Triglycerides, HDL, ApoB. Identify the pattern and provide root-cause support.

Nutrients & Supplementation

Vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3. Measure deficiencies and supplement individually.

Frequently asked questions about metabolic health

Everything you want to know about our metabolic health consultation in Berlin Mitte.

Why am I not losing weight despite dieting and exercising?

Weight is not simply a question of calorie balance. Insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, cortisol dysregulation, an imbalanced microbiome or specific nutrient deficiencies can all significantly influence metabolism. Without knowing the actual cause, any measure is likely to fall short. That is exactly where we start.

What is insulin resistance and how does it show up?

Insulin resistance means that body cells respond less effectively to insulin, making blood sugar regulation less efficient. Possible signs include cravings, energy dips after eating, weight gain around the abdomen and difficulty concentrating. It can be measured through fasting insulin and HbA1c and is well addressable in early stages.

What role do hormones play in weight gain?

Hormones regulate energy metabolism, satiety and fat distribution. An underactive thyroid slows the basal metabolic rate. Chronically elevated cortisol promotes abdominal fat and disrupts blood sugar regulation. Sex hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone influence body composition and water retention. Differentiated hormone diagnostics make these connections visible.

What is metabolic syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors: increased waist circumference, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, elevated blood pressure and a raised fasting blood sugar. When three or more of these factors are present, the term metabolic syndrome applies. It considerably increases the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and in early stages it is well addressable through lifestyle and targeted measures.

Which lab values are most important for metabolic issues?

The most important metabolic biomarkers include fasting insulin, HbA1c, fasting glucose, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol, hsCRP, thyroid values, sex hormones, cortisol, vitamin D, ferritin and the omega-3 index. Many of these markers are not included in standard lab work, even though they can indicate risks at an early stage.

Can I have the initial consultation online?

Yes. The initial consultation, results review and treatment planning are fully available online, throughout Germany. Lab diagnostics can be arranged via home test kits or local laboratories. Book your online appointment directly through our booking system.

How much does the initial consultation cost?

The initial consultation costs 145 euros for 60 minutes. Costs for extended lab diagnostics and infusions are discussed transparently in advance. The consultation is a self-pay service. Private health insurance may cover costs partially or in full depending on your policy.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly, without a referral and without prior test results. If you have existing lab values or medical reports, bring them along. We will look at everything together.
