Creating health so that illness has no chance!

THE PATH To the origin of health

Functional medicine in Basel

Functional medicine is more than just medicine. It is an invitation to see your own health as a dynamic process – as a journey on which you yourself determine the direction. With ORIGIN HEALTH – the practice for Functional Medicine & Longevity of Dr. Joris Budweg and Dr. Manuel Puntschuh in Basel – we accompany you on this journey: with excellent knowledge that incorporates the latest scientific findings. With a view that recognizes causes rather than managing symptoms. And with an understanding of health that takes you as an individual in your entirety.

Functional medicine is more than just medicine

Who is functional medicine suitable for?

Functional medicine is an individualized, systemic approach that identifies the underlying causes of diseases. We view the body as an interconnected system and use individualized diagnosticsnutritional medicine, lifestyle interventions and targeted therapeutic approaches to activate your self-healing powers and promote your long-term health.

Our focus on functional medicine is aimed at all those who want to actively and preventative to enjoy a longer, healthier and more energetic life.

It is also aimed at those who are already suffering from chronic illnesses and whose complaints have reached the limits of traditional, symptom-oriented conventional medicine.

Health is no coincidence. It is the result of a subtle interplay of biochemistry, lifestyle and environment – a complex choreography in which every step counts. And so in Functional Medicine we ask ourselves the all-important question of WHY? Why are you experiencing these symptoms? What are the real triggers behind them? We take the time to get to the bottom of the cause.

Taking responsibility

Your part in functional medicine

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE ALWAYS MEANS PARTICIPATION!

At ORIGIN HEALTH you are not a passive recipient of our medicine. Together, we are health partners. Because every day, every lifestyle choice you make, every activity and every bite you take to nourish or not nourish your body has a lasting impact on your health.

A new understanding of health

A balanced diet, restful sleep, regular exercise, a positive mind set and a stable emotional environment are just some of the aspects that influence how you feel – and also whether your immune system remains strong, your metabolism works efficiently or your body can detoxify.

Become the best version of yourself. You are in control!

Root Cause – The cause firmly in view

Functional medicine views chronic illnesses as regulatory disorders in the complex regulatory mechanisms of the human body – as a breakdown of regulatory circuits, so to speak.

Health in functional medicine, on the other hand, means the proper functioning of the regulatory circuits at the control level of the organism. If this fault-free functioning is ensured, even chronic complaints can disappear.

Functional medicine asks: Why?

At ORIGIN HEALTH, we take time for you and delve deeper: Why are you ill? Which mechanisms are out of balance? And above all: How can we restore the balance?

Our mission is not only to treat chronic diseases – especially the typical diseases of civilization – but to prevent them. We achieve this through sound diagnostics, excellent prevention, precise therapies and a holistic approach that takes into account your lifestyle, your environment and your personal history.

Let’s set the course together – for a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life. So that one day you can say:
Age is just a number!

Functional medicine knows the difference

Symptoms & causes

Every day, patients come to us whose quality of life is already significantly reduced due to physical impairment. They often have a long medical history behind them. One reason for this is that symptoms often occur in a completely different place than their cause. A symptom can have many causes. These need to be identified.

One symptom – many causes

One cause – many symptoms

THE 4Ps of functional medicine

Personalized

Functional medicine is individual medicine in the best sense of the word. Our comprehensive diagnostics are based on the knowledge that every person is unique. And so we look at genetic, epigenetic, metabolic and biomolecular correlations in order to develop individual health strategies for you. Modern laboratory tests and highly detailed medical histories help us to create the optimum treatment plan for you.

We leave standard medicine to others.

Functional medicine is based on science.

Advanced diagnostics such as micronutrient analyses, functional hormone profiles or inflammation markers enable highly precise interventions. Instead of treating you according to a set plan, we take  evidence-based, targeted measures that optimally support your individual organism. The cycle of functional medicine is:

  1. We measure, analyze and evaluate what brings your body out of balance.
  2. We supplement, treat and carry out targeted interventions.
  3.  We then measure, analyze and evaluate again. We relate the findings to your subjective state of health.
  4. We derive targeted optimization steps from this.

Become the best version of yourself!

The treatment of illnesses on a holistic level is a key focus of functional medicine. But we go even further. Ideally, we want to prevent you from falling ill in the first place. That’s why we focus on early risk detection and prevention. Lifestyle optimization, dietary adjustments and targeted supplementation can significantly reduce the risk of developing lifestyle diseases.
