Genetic diagnostics
Genetic diagnostics for drug metabolism
Everyone metabolizes medications differently. Ideally, Ms. Müller takes three tablets of a medication a day, Mr. Schmidt only takes one, and this medication is not suitable for Ms. Schulz, you are prescribed a different active ingredient - and all three of them are fine.
However, medications are usually prescribed in a way that helps “most” people. Dosage instructions differentiate between children, adults and seniors, but there are also huge individual differences that can only be found out in practice through lengthy experimentation. For example, the same dose may be too low for Franziska, 10 years old and weighing 40 kg, but much too high for Huber, 55 years old and weighing 103 kg.
Many genes have now been decoded that provide information about whether a particular person tolerates a drug well, less well or not at all. We offer genetic analysis, which allows us to say how well a particular medication is tolerated before the first dose. This means we can optimally adjust your medication without having to try much. This is particularly valuable with psychotropic drugs.
The great thing about it: after a single test, you can benefit from individually tailored therapies for your entire life.

Telo-X test kit
The Telo-X test analyzes the length of the telomeres and thus provides information about the extent of telomere damage and the aging process.
Telomeres are the protective caps of our chromosomes and play a major role in our aging process. With each cell division, the telomeres shorten. Environmental factors such as stress or an unhealthy diet cause telomeres to shorten even faster. If the telomeres are too short, cell division no longer occurs - the aging process begins.
Conversely, long telomeres represent health, performance and youth.
The Telo-X test can be carried out yourself using the enclosed instructions for use including video instructions and is available in our practice in Klagenfurt.

MITO OX test kit
The MITO OX test determines the oxidative stress level of your mitochondria.
How healthy and fit someone is depends mainly on the state of their mitochondria. One reason for the decline in mitochondrial activity is, among other things, damage to the genetic material. They arise, for example, when free radicals trigger excessive oxidative stress and the mitochondria no longer have sufficient protective measures.
This test examines the extent of mitochondrial damage caused by free radicals. It is a quantitative test that indicates whether and how many sections of the mitochondrial genome have been destroyed.
The MITO OX test can be carried out yourself using the enclosed instructions for use including video instructions and is available in our practice in Klagenfurt.

HRV test
The HRV test measures the load on the autonomic nervous system, which controls all life processes. (Respiration, circulation, digestion and temperature regulation)
The test can be carried out on site in our practice in Klagenfurt and Vienna.
Cost: € 50,-
Capnometry test
The capnometry test measures the body's ability to absorb inhaled oxygen by measuring the CO2 voltage in the breathing air
The test can be carried out on site in our practice in Klagenfurt and Vienna.

Omega-3 index test kit
The Omega-3 Index uses a dried blood analysis to determine how good your supply of the vital, vascular-protecting Omega-3 fatty acids is.
The proportion of inflammation-causing omega-6 fatty acids in your blood is also determined.
You will receive a detailed report of results and recommendations.
The test is used to determine the concentration 6/3 ratio, which allows a precise statement to be made about the omega-3 and omega-6 supply.
The omega-3 and 6 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. The most important omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
It is recommended to consume 250 mg of these two fats daily to prevent negative health consequences.
Both fatty acids perform important functions in the human organism.
Together they have an effect on the inflammatory processes in the body, lower blood lipid levels, have an influence on mood and mental fitness, as well as an influence on susceptibility to infections. Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids are further converted into other substances in the body via the same enzymes. Therefore, an optimized ratio of the intake of the two fatty acids is important.
The omega-6/3 ratio should ideally be 5:1 or even less.
Overview of the effects of an optimal Omega-6/3 ratio
• Regulation of inflammatory processes
• Disease prevention
• Reduction of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases
• Lowering blood lipid levels
• positive influence on psychological well-being
• positive influence on mental fitness
• positive influence on cell health
The test can be carried out on site in our practice in Klagenfurt and Vienna.

Gut health test:
→ Measurements related to inflammation, bacteria and fungi in the intestine
With the cerascreen ® intestinal health test you can have your stool examined for inflammatory markers, pH value, intestinal bacteria and candida as well as mold.
→ Professional analysis in medical laboratory
→ Personal recommendation to improve intestinal health
→ Result within 5-8 days of sample receipt
In the results report you will find the pH value found in the stool as well as the concentration of the following substances:
→ Secretory immunoglobulin (sIgA)
→ α-1-antitrypsin
→ Pancreatic elastase-1
→ Calprotectin
→ Candida fungus and putrefactive flora
→ Acidifying flora: Enterococci, Bacteroides, Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli
Cost: € 140,-
Mineral test:
→ Learn to optimize mineral levels that are too low or too high
With the cerascreen ® mineral dried blood test you can have the magnesium, zinc and selenium levels in your blood determined.
→ Professional analysis in medical laboratory
→ Easy-to-implement recommendations
→ Result within 4-5 working days after receipt of sample
In a detailed results report you will find out how high the concentration of minerals in the blood is:
→ Zinc in millimoles per liter (mmol/l)
→ Selenium to micrograms per liter (µg/l)
→ Magnesium to milligrams per liter (mg/l)
Cost: € 70,-
Leaky gut test:
→ Take your health into your own hands!
Have your stool checked for zonulin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, beta-defensin 2 and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) with the cerascreen ® Leaky Gut Test!
→ Professional analysis in medical laboratory
→ Determination of zonulin, α-1-antitrypsin, β-defensin 2 and sIgA
→ Personal recommendation to strengthen your intestinal barrier
→ Result within 5-7 working days after sample receipt
If the value of zonulin in your sample (nanograms per milliliter of stool - ng/ml) is above the recommended reference value, this may be an indication that the intestinal barrier is too permeable and therefore leaky gut.
The other three measured values (α-1-antitrypsin, β-defensin 2 and sIgA), when elevated, also indicate that the intestinal barrier is too permeable, with which the resulting complaints and immune reactions may be connected.
Cost: € 110,-
Amino acid test:

→ Personal recommendation for optimal protein intake
→ Result within 12-14 days of sample receipt
Determine the concentration of 26 essential, semi-essential and non-essential amino acids in your blood:
