Tired of allergies?

Spring is now in full swing with all its floral splendor. A great time to take a walk in nature and enjoy the sunshine!

That wasn't feasible for me in recent decades due to my hay fever .

It all started more than 30 years ago. An analysis at the time revealed that I was allergic to early-blooming trees (birch, hazel, etc.). The symptoms weren't pleasant, but they could be managed reasonably well with the usual remedies.

However, a walk in the sun in the fields and forests at this time of year would not have been possible.

Through a lot of experimentation and perseverance, I was able to achieve good results last year. This year, the symptoms are completely gone!

What did I do to get rid of my allergies?

Basically just what I usually do: I use the system of Vitality factors , use one I use a personalized longevity protocol and measure changes using functional biomarkers . From this, I draw new insights and make adjustments .

I call this “functional epigenetics” .

With hay fever (or allergies in general), the focus is on cultivating a balanced immune system .

Anyone who suffers from autoimmune diseases knows how important a balanced immune system is. You don't want an overly reactive immune system, but you also don't want one that's too tolerant. A middle ground is (as always) crucial.

Our immune system consists of 2 axes:

• Innate immune system (also called TH1 )

• Adaptive immune system (also called TH2 )

In a healthy body, these are balanced in an optimal ratio to each other.

However, in allergies such as hay fever, there is usually a TH2 dominance .

Perhaps also a TH1 weakness .

If we want to get rid of allergies, the question arises as to how we can restore balance here.

What to do?

There are three key areas that strongly influence the regulation of our immune system. These are part of my core health competencies:

• Vitamin D metabolism

• Mitochondria

• Oxidative stress and inflammation

So there is no "quick fix" to make allergies disappear.

The idea instead is to repair and then optimize these three important areas.

In my work with clients, I usually see the following problems:

• Vitamin D metabolism is not functioning properly or is suboptimally adjusted.

• The mitochondria are functioning poorly, and the body increasingly relies on glycolysis (fermentation).

• There is (in some cases quite severe) heavy metal contamination .

• Important cofactors and nutrients are missing.

• There is a lack of training stimuli for mitobiogenesis.

• Too many calories from carbohydrates (and many more)

• Problems caused by too much spike protein (Post-VAC, COVID-19)

• There is an increased incidence of silent inflammation.

• These can be exacerbated by a leaky gut.

• This increases the level of oxidative stress.

• An unbalanced immune system leads to more inflammation (example: autoimmune diseases)

So there is usually plenty of work to be done.

A systematic approach is important so that one does not lose sight of the overview and the "common thread".

For anyone who wants to delve deeper

If you want to delve deeper, further coaching and intervention pathways are available, such as The Longevity Code . It includes, among other things, biomarker-based analyses and DNA/genetics-based assessments. The prevention check is a good starting point to see where you currently stand regarding nutrient deficiencies and cellular metabolism.
