Diabetes - Paracelsus Recovery | Paracelsus Recovery

WHAT WE TREAT

Holistic Diabetes Support

Managing diabetes can be challenging, with the need for lifestyle adjustments, medical treatments, and ongoing care often feeling overwhelming.

At Paracelsus Recovery, we ease this burden by supporting you alongside your medical care. In collaboration with all hospitals in Zurich, we ensure every aspect of your health is optimised, from physical and psychological well-being right down to your cellular health.

How we look to support you

Holistic diabetes treatment is all about looking at the bigger picture of your health, rather than just focusing on the condition itself. At Paracelsus Recovery, we take a more personal approach to managing diabetes, blending traditional medical care with therapies that support your overall well-being.

As we tailor each programme to each unique client, it means that we can target your exact imbalances, issues and inflammation markers. Treatments vary but often include tailored nutrition plans, lifestyle changes, stress-relief strategies, genetic testing, and emotional support, all alongside your regular medical treatment. By addressing both the physical and emotional sides of diabetes, we help you manage your blood sugar more effectively and feel better overall – mentally, emotionally, and physically.

We take a balanced, integrative approach, viewing diabetes not just as a condition but as an indicator of deeper imbalances within the body. Instead of focusing only on the symptoms, we aim to treat the whole person. This involves blending conventional medical care with therapies like personalised nutrition advice, exercise, and stress management. Research shows that combining integrative and functional medicine can help manage diabetes, reduce symptoms, and support your long-term health.

How we restore your physical health:

IHHT (Intermittent Hyperoxia-Hypoxia-Training): Recent studies suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in metabolic diseases like diabetes. We offer therapies such as IHHT, which provide oxygen therapy to improve mitochondrial function and support overall energy production, helping to balance blood sugar levels.
Supplements: Diabetes is often linked to nutrient imbalances. We provide targeted nutritional supplements and meals based on lab tests to address any deficiencies that could be impacting your immune system and overall health.
Extensive testing: Managing diabetes requires a clear understanding of your body’s unique needs. We offer comprehensive testing to assess metabolic function, blood sugar control, and nutrient levels. This helps us identify and address any environmental factors, food sensitivities, or toxins that may be affecting your health.
Detox and pre/probiotics: We support gut health, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, with intestinal detox and pre/probiotics to restore a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
Complementary therapies: We use restorative body therapies such as massage, acupuncture, and yoga to help reduce stress, improve circulation, and support overall physical well-being.
Sleep and rest: Adequate sleep is essential for managing blood sugar levels and supporting overall health. Our treatment schedule includes regular rest periods to ensure your body can recharge and heal.

How we restore your mental health:

Specialised psychotherapy: Living with diabetes can be mentally and emotionally challenging, and the stress of managing the condition can affect overall health. Our specialised psychotherapists help you process any mental health challenges or emotional strain that may be contributing to your condition.
A live-in therapist: We offer the option of a dedicated psychotherapist who is available to provide emotional support 24/7, helping you manage stress and mental well-being.
Complementary therapies: Yoga, mindfulness, breath-work, and well-being counselling are also essential parts of your treatment plan, offering ways to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional resilience.

How we restore your biochemical health:

Supplements and IVs: Based on comprehensive laboratory testing, we create an individualised plan of nutritional supplements and IV therapies to restore balance to your biochemistry. These may include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients to support insulin function and metabolic health.
Functional medicine: Our functional medicine approach looks at the root causes of diabetes, aiming to optimise bodily systems and help your body naturally manage blood sugar levels and insulin resistance.
Bioresonance treatment: Through bioresonance, our trained physician uses specialised equipment to assess your body’s energy wavelengths, identify imbalances, and restore your electromagnetic frequencies to their optimal state, supporting better metabolic function.
