Stress management with the help of stress medicine
The WHO has declared stress to be one of the greatest health risks of the 21st century. Even regular jogging or cycling to “air out” your head and a slim figure are no guarantee that your body will not suffer massively from constant stress. Experience in our practice and the measurement of heart rate variability show us this. This is a safe test to see how stressed the body’s systems really are. And that scares many people. And rightly so!
Preventive stress medicine with Dr. Verena Immer – your family doctor in Männedorf – can help you to cope with stress and support you in recognizing and avoiding stress-related health risks – and in staying strong and vital in the long term!

Diagnostics
In stress medicine, everything is based on careful individual diagnostics. A detailed medical history and a special heart rate variability stress test provide us with information on how high your actual stress level is. The next step is to determine how the stress load is already affecting your body. To do this, we compare your actual state of various parameters with an optimal target state. Laboratory diagnostics tailored to your individual needs (hormone profile, neurostress, cortisone, intestinal check) provide us with information on this. For some people, we also recommend genetic testing to identify hidden risk factors to help them cope better with stress.
What your blood tells us about your stress level
You have probably already had a small or large blood count done. It’s easy to hear: “Everything’s fine”. What is all right is simply within the normal values of “average misery”. We contrast these “normal” values with powerful vital signs. They are the goal we want to achieve for performance-oriented people. In addition, each person reacts individually to values that are too high or too low. In addition to the detailed findings, your state of health is therefore an important point of reference for the therapy.
Therapy and prevention
The results of the diagnostics form the basis for individually selected preventive and therapeutic measures. In a personal consultation, Dr. Verena Immer identifies the existing risk factors. She provides detailed and calm advice on where preventive measures are recommended and where there is already a need for therapeutic action. The focus is on optimally supplying the body in stressful situations with all the micronutrients and, if necessary, hormones it needs to be strong, efficient and vital – even under high levels of stress.
