Holistic health

Your gut. Your health.

Our approach.
Many everyday complaints – tiredness, skin problems, digestive issues, a weakened immune system – share a common factor that is often overlooked: the gut. At the Fortuna- and Humboldt-Apotheke we have developed an approach that combines gut health advice, blood tests and micronutrient supply. Not as separate services side by side, but as a connected system that gives you real answers.

The starting point

70% of your immune system is in your gut – and hardly anyone talks about it

The gut is far more than a digestive organ. It is home to around 70 percent of our immune system, produces a large share of the body's serotonin and influences how well our body can absorb nutrients. When the gut flora is out of balance, we often notice it in quite different places: in our energy levels, on our skin, in our mood, in how easily we catch infections.

Even so, in conventional healthcare the gut often only becomes a topic once symptoms are clearly noticeable. We take a different path. In our consultation we look closely, ask about your everyday life, your diet and your habits – and combine this information with what your laboratory values tell us.

Our path with you

From the first conversation to the right recommendation

  1. 01
    The conversation

    Listening before we act

    Our approach always begins with a personal conversation. We want to understand what brings you to us, which complaints are bothering you and what your everyday life looks like. That sounds obvious, but in practice few people take the time for it. For us, it is the foundation of everything that follows.

  2. 02
    The analysis

    Facts instead of assumptions

    In the next step we rely on targeted analyses. Our blood and stool tests provide concrete values – from vitamin D to liver values and cholesterol through to the Biochemie 9 test. These figures help us replace assumptions with facts and draw the right conclusions together with you. No guesswork, just clarity.

  3. 03
    The recommendation

    A plan that suits you

    Based on these results, we develop an individual recommendation. This may include micronutrients and probiotics, a targeted change in diet or a combination of several measures. What matters is that we support you along the way – over the long term, with follow-up analyses and an open ear for everything that changes.

Gut health consultation

Your gut is talking – we listen

Bloating, intolerances, a constantly unsettled stomach or the feeling that your digestion just isn't working smoothly – complaints like these are often put up with for a long time because people don't know where to start. This is exactly where we come in.

In our gut health consultation we look at possible causes together with you and work out a plan that fits your life. No one-size-fits-all advice from the internet, but a consultation that takes your individual situation seriously – and supports you for as long as you need.

The gut questionnaire

Ten short questions, two minutes: the questionnaire helps you put your gut feeling into perspective – and gives us a good starting point for the consultation.

Question 1 of 10

Do you suffer from wind or a bloated feeling in your stomach?

The bigger picture

A deficiency rarely comes alone

01Gut health

The foundation. A healthy gut flora determines how well your body can absorb nutrients in the first place.

In conventional care, gut health, blood values and micronutrients are often treated as separate topics. In reality they are closely linked and influence each other. A vitamin D deficiency can change the gut flora. A disturbed gut flora can mean that nutrients are absorbed less well. And abnormal blood values are often the first visible sign that something in the body has got out of balance.

That is exactly why we do not look at these three areas in isolation, but as a connected system. When we analyse your blood values, we also consider your gut. When we advise you on your gut, we also consider nutrients. And when we recommend a product, we do so on the basis of the overall picture – not on the basis of a single symptom. That is our standard.

Blood tests
What your values reveal about you
Sometimes it takes more than a gut feeling to make the right decisions for your own health. Our blood tests give you solid values – quickly, right here at the pharmacy and without waiting weeks for a specialist appointment. Among other things, we measure vitamin D, blood sugar as well as liver and cholesterol values with the Biochemie 9 test. But the figures alone are only half the job. What sets us apart: we discuss every result with you personally, put it into the context of your overall condition and derive concrete recommendations that you can actually put into practice. No lab reports that disappear in your letterbox – but a conversation that gives you orientation.

Micronutrients and probiotics
Our products for your gut
The shelves of drugstores and online shops are full of food supplements that promise the earth. The truth is: not every product makes sense. But the right one at the right time, in the right dose, can make a real difference. This is where our pharmaceutical expertise comes in. Based on your analysis results, we recommend micronutrients and probiotics that actually match your needs. We explain transparently why we recommend what we do, what quality differences there are and what you should look out for.
Health doesn't start with medication – it starts with a conversation that really listens, with prevention that thinks ahead, and with support that stays.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have a question that isn’t answered here? Feel free to talk to us at the pharmacy or give us a call – we will take time for you.
How does the gut health consultation work?
It starts with a personal conversation in a calm atmosphere. We ask about your complaints, your everyday life, your diet and your previous experiences. If it makes sense, we suggest suitable analyses. We then discuss the results with you in detail.
Which tests are possible?
Depending on the question, blood and stool tests may be considered – for example vitamin D, blood sugar as well as liver and cholesterol values with the Biochemie 9 test. We decide together in the consultation which analyses make sense for you.
How long does it take to get the result?
We measure many blood values directly at the pharmacy – the result is usually available after a short time. Stool tests are analysed in a laboratory and therefore take a little longer. We will tell you the expected time frame when you hand in your sample.
What does the analysis cost?
The costs depend on which tests make sense for you. We discuss them transparently with you in advance – no costs are incurred without your consent.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. You do not need a referral for the gut health consultation and our analyses at the pharmacy. Simply book an appointment online or by phone.
Does the consultation replace a visit to the doctor?
No. Our consultation and analyses do not replace a medical examination, diagnosis or treatment. If you have persistent or severe symptoms, blood in your stool, unintended weight loss or fever, please see your doctor. We discuss abnormal values openly with you and recommend medical clarification if necessary.
What happens after the evaluation?
Together we derive concrete recommendations from the results – for example on diet, micronutrients and probiotics. If you wish, we will continue to support you and arrange follow-up analyses to track changes.
Which pharmacies offer the gut health consultation?
The Fortuna-Apotheke in Rauschwalde (Reichenbacher Str. 19) and the Humboldt-Apotheke at Demianiplatz 56 in Görlitz. You can book your appointment online for both pharmacies.
