WHAT IS WORK & EXERCISE ADDICTION?
Work & Exercise Addiction is a term used to describe a physical,
psychological and or emotional dependency. Work & Exercise Addiction
presents itself in many different forms. It roots are located predominantly
in stress and anxiety disorders, and addictive behaviors serve as a
temporary relief to these symptoms.
Eventually addiction causes an often-devastating impact on all areas of life,
resulting in chronic health conditions, poor social engagement, isolation,
work problems, family and relationship breakdown, a chaotic lifestyle, debt
or financial problems.
Work & Exercise Addiction can develop quickly or over a long period of
time. The person loses control and the ability to stop when they had
planned to. The behavior begins to control and manipulate the person’s
life. People are often referred to as being an ‘addict’ and having an
‘addiction’ once this pattern of behavior has taken root. In its most chronic
state, the addicts’ main purpose, function and desire is to ‘feed’ the
addiction. This cultivates an endless cycle of unhealthy behavior which
triggers an overwhelming sense to ‘use more, more frequently’ in order to
feel satisfied. This ‘using’ behavior becomes the only means of pleasure or
‘escape’ for the addict.

HOW WE TREAT ADDICTION
At THE BALANCE we use a holistic and person-centered treatment method
for ‘recovery’ from addiction. Our program incorporates a combination of
talking therapies, complementary therapies and medical treatments.
Together these treatments build a program to help you identify and explore
the underlying ‘causes’ of the alcohol addiction; we enable you to connect
with and address difficulties and teach you the necessary skills required to
change the addictive behavior. We call this method of treatment ‘a
prescription for life’.

THE BALANCE program does not only work to heal or mend the presenting
symptom or problems, we endeavor to provide you with a lasting change in
behavior in order to overcome the unhealthy addictive behavior patterns.
We begin by asking you to be ‘curious’ about what brought you to this point
in your life, and then help you to explore solutions the underlying
problems. This method is proven to lead to lifelong positive change.
Following is an example of a weekly schedule:

MEDICAL TREATMENT
AT THE BALANCE
At THE BALANCE we offer clients a holistic approach to physical and mental
health care. The term ́holistic ́ means that our program incorporates all
aspects of a person life and recognizes that each part of us is intimately
interconnected to a ́whole ́ so in terms of health care, it recognizes that all
areas of a person’s life need attention, in order to impact on the individual.
This incorporates our model of Mind, Body and Life.
Holistic medicine (also known as physiological regulating medicine and
Biological Medicine) treats the whole person. The patient’s symptoms are
always considered to be the outward expression of an underlying
dysfunction that can be remedied by stimulating the body’s own regulatory
forces. We search for the root causes of the patient’s disease in order to
give the body a chance to heal itself. This is why we give top priority to
improving the patient’s general metabolism, together with detoxification,
purification and the latest methods of immune - stimulation, as well as
other stimulating therapies.
THE BALANCE biological medicine aims at strengthening the whole, so that
diseases and susceptibility to disease can be overcome by the patient’s own
immune system and healing process. For this reason, our doctors utilize
'suppressive' medicines only during times of emergency, and not for
chronic care management, because this type of medicine is most effective
in acute situations. We are also slower to recommend certain operations,
preferring first to apply our holistic therapy concept.
As our patient, you are making a commitment to your health. With your
cooperation and the THE BALANCE staff’s input of experience and know
how, susceptibilities can be detected, and the course of the disease
reversed. It is important to note that our doctors have conventional medical
degrees and specialized training in Biological Medicine, and in certain
cases, conventional and holistic treatments will be integrated.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WEAKNESS
AND THE ADRENAL GLAND
Adrenal fatigue is a collection of signs and symptoms, known as a syndrome,
that results when the adrenal glands function below the necessary level.
Most commonly associated with intense or prolonged stress, it can also
arise during or after acute or chronic infections, especially respiratory
infections such as influenza, bronchitis or pneumonia... you live with a
general sense of un-wellness, tiredness or “grey” feelings. People
experiencing adrenal fatigue often have to use coffee, colas and other
stimulants to get going in the morning and to prop themselves up during
the day.
“The adrenal glands respond to all types of stress in the same way... It is
important to know that all stresses are additive and cumulative. The
number of stresses, whether or not you recognize them as stresses, the
intensity of each stress, and the frequency with which it occurs plus the
length of time it is present, all combine to form your total stress load.”
together with this it is necessary to be aware of connections in the body
system:
The digestive and glandular systems are closely related to the autonomic
nervous system, which is also called the “abdominal brain”. It consists of
two parts, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic, which control all our
involuntary body functions and must be rhythmically balanced with one
another for our metabolism and immune systems to function properly. At
RECORE we are able to measure this balance in a unique way via tools that
assess what is known as Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
By eliminating all influencing factors (e.g. dental foci, food allergies,
mineral, vitamin and trace element deficiencies, electromagnetic stress,
disorders of the autonomic nervous system, etc. more than 80% of all
patients we treat for these basic disorders fully recover. Virtually all of our
metabolic patients significantly improve thanks to our medicines, without
having to take the drugs commonly prescribed that involve adverse side
effects. With diabetes patients, the insulin dose they need can frequently
be reduced. But especially the quality of life and overall wellbeing improve
immensely.

THE COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
UPON YOUR ARRIVAL
Quick facts
• Two days comprehensive health assessment
• Full medical check-up, clinical assessment, psychiatric assessment, extensive
laboratory tests.
• Aim: identify any physical health issues or risks and/or identify underlying reasons
for complex, often unspecific, physical or mental health symptoms.
• Detailed debriefing and report explaining all findings, treatment recommendations
and prognosis.
• Suitable for individuals who have either specific health problems and seek the best
possible solution recommendation, or for individuals who have complex symptoms
of physical or mental health problems and want to investigate what underlying
reasons could be and receive treatment recommendations.
• Suitable also for healthy individuals who want to prevent future illnesses, learn
about risk factors, impact of lifestyle choices on physical and mental health, etc.
• 100% private and confidential, one client at a time
1) Full medical checkup
• Including ECG, Chest-X-ray, abdominal sonogram, physical fitness test and breathing
volume test in order to determine his current physical and cardiovascular health.
• Basic Screening (blood): Hematology, liver values, glycaemia, blood lipids, thyroid
activity
• Review of any available medical history (provided by the client prior to the
assessment)
• Symptoms to be researched can be: high blood pressure, weight problems, post
cancer- treatment fatigue and loss of energy, chronic or acute pain symptoms,
chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, circulatory problems
such as erectile dysfunction or menopause symptoms as well as signs of ageing
such as “brain fog”, lack of concentration and forgetfulness, among many others.
2) A comprehensive psychiatric assessment
• Screening for depression, trauma, addiction, burnout etc.
• Identifying possible emotional reasons for physical symptoms (such as pain,
constipation, heart racing, etc.)
• Review of any psychotropic medication, prior psychiatric diagnoses, etc.

8. 8
3) Orthomolecular, lifestyle and nutritional assessment
• We will look at the bio-chemistry of the brain and body (neurotransmitter profiles,
stress profiles, see laboratory tests below for more details).
• Identify energy levels and functioning of the different organs, possible damage and
strategies for restoration of health.
• Specialized laboratory tests (see below).
• Food Intolerance testing: testing of allergic reaction to most frequent food allergen
(food intolerances lead to chronic emotional symptoms, sleep problems, etc.)
• Lifestyle (exercise, sleep habits, eating rhythm and meals, etc.) has a significant
impact on the emotional well-being, stress, anxiety, and cravings, as well as physical
health. A lifestyle assessment will identify risk factors and issues around lifestyle
choices.
4) The extensive specialized laboratory tests to check all
relevant medical and biochemical parameters include:
• Hormone level screen: chronic stress often brings hormones out of balance,
increases fatigue, decreases activities, libido and the immune system etc.
• Neurotransmitter screen in order to determine the current brain and emotional
functioning and deficiencies (the “Biochemistry of Happiness, Depression, Burnout”:
testing of excitatory neurotransmitters such as Adrenalin, Noradrenalin, Dopamine,
Glutamate; and testing of inhibitory neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, GABA)
• Amino acid profile (testing of all essential amino acids which are crucial to build up
enough neurotransmitters)
• Thyroid screen in order to determine metabolic functioning
• Metabolic screen to determine possible pre-diabetic conditions due to weight gain
when on medication
• Vitamin screen in order to determine Vitamin and Mineral levels which often are out
of balance when under medication and long-lasting stress
• Hair Mineral Test to determine the presence of heavy metals such as lead etc. in
order to determine the interference with neurotransmitters and mood
• Gut biology (stool)-tests to determine intestinal health and functioning: we know
today that gut health is an important contributor to brain functioning. Gut health
can be restored and supports the successful withdrawal from many psycho-
active/psychotropic medications while uptake of indispensable nutritional
supplements will be supported by intact gut health.
• Parasites testing: some parasites literally “eat up” necessary nutrients and
compromise the immune system.
• Stress Profile: evaluation of stress reaction (adrenal gland activity)
• Inflammatory parameter screen and testing stress on cell level: chronic stress and
medication intake often triggers inflammatory reactions in the body and
inflammation contributes to low mood and depression. Inflammation can be
detected in the blood and successfully treated with nutritional supplements,
targeted plant compounds and anti- oxidative vitamins.
