Diagnostics

Every recommendation on this website starts here. Diagnostics is the measuring layer underneath the rest, and you can book any of it on its own, without a programme and without a referral.

Sorted by the question they answer. Open one to see what it covers and what it costs. Everything here can be booked on its own.

Blood Comprehensive blood analysis from CHF 150

The core of almost every question. One blood draw, over a hundred parameters, read against your history instead of against a reference range alone.

What is included
  • Blood count and inflammation markers
  • Iron and ferritin
  • Thyroid function
  • Nutritional and micronutrient diagnostics: vitamin D, B12, folate, zinc, magnesium
  • Liver, kidney and lipid values
  • Point-of-care diagnostics: selected results while you wait
Heart Cardiovascular diagnostics from CHF 180*

For blood pressure that has crept up, palpitations, chest tightness, or a family history that keeps you wondering.

What is included
  • ECG and long-term measurements
  • Long-term blood pressure measurement
  • Lipid profile
  • Cardiovascular risk calculated from your own values
Hormones Hormone testing and metabolic analysis from CHF 290*

Hormones only make sense as a system. A single value out of context explains almost nothing.

What is included
  • Thyroid, in full
  • Sex hormones
  • Cortisol and the stress axis
  • Metabolic analysis: blood sugar, HbA1c and insulin
Body Body composition analysis CHF 90*

Muscle, fat and water instead of one number on a scale. Most useful as a starting point you can measure against later.

What is included
  • Muscle and fat distribution
  • Water balance
  • Segmental analysis
  • A baseline for the next measurement
Deeper Gut health, genetics and environment on request

For questions the standard panels do not reach. We use these where your history points there, not as a routine.

What is included
  • Gut health and microbiome
  • Food intolerances and allergies
  • DNA and genetic testing
  • Heavy metals and environmental toxins

Amounts marked with an asterisk are indicative and are confirmed with you before treatment. Laboratory work is billed through basic insurance depending on the indication.

After the measurement

What happens
with your results

The measurement is the easy part. What follows decides whether it was worth anything.

  1. 1 Measure One blood draw, over a hundred parameters.
  2. 2 Read in context Against your history and your examination, not against a table.
  3. 3 Explain in person A conversation, not a PDF in your inbox.
  4. 4 Decide Only what changes something about what we do next.
  5. 5 Measure again The interval is agreed while you are still here.

CHF 150 service fee · the laboratory itself through your health insurance where the indication allows · if something belongs in specialist hands we arrange it and stay your point of contact.

Typical questions

What people want
to find out

Almost nobody books a laboratory value. People book a question. These are the ones we hear most often.

"Why am I so tired?"

Iron and ferritin, thyroid, vitamin D, blood count, inflammation, blood sugar. The usual causes are a short list, and every one of them is measurable.

"Is my heart alright?"

Blood pressure, lipid profile, ECG and long-term measurements. Your cardiovascular risk calculated from your own values, not from an average.

"Are my hormones off?"

Thyroid, sex hormones, cortisol, insulin. Hormones only make sense read as a system, never as a single value on its own.

"What do these results actually mean?"

A finding from somewhere else, put into context. A second opinion on values you already have, without repeating the whole work-up.

"Is something inflaming?"

Inflammation markers and blood count when symptoms persist and nobody has found a reason yet.

"Do I absorb what I take?"

Micronutrient status: vitamin D, B12, folate, zinc, magnesium, omega-3. Often the answer to why a supplement changes nothing.

"Is my gut the problem?"

Microbiome, intolerances and allergies, where your history points in that direction rather than as a routine.

"Where do I stand overall?"

Body composition: muscle, fat, water. A baseline that only becomes valuable at the second measurement.
