When stress has an effect, medical clarity is needed.

Arrange an initial consultation to assess your situation

Stress is measurable.
Balance is a structured program for the professionally responsible classification of stress and strain - so that uncertainty becomes well-founded next steps.

Exhaustion, restlessness, sleep problems or a drop in performance show that the body is out of balance. Balance medically classifies what is working in the background - and creates clarity before uncertainty and actionism determine the way forward.

Overloading is not an isolated case - and often remains unexplained

In Switzerland, around one in three people in employment report persistent exhaustion or stress-related complaints - many feel left alone. Many of those affected do not receive a clear professional classification despite their symptoms. The cause, urgency and sensible next step remain unclear. This leads to

Waiting instead of acting
Trial and error instead of clarity
Withdrawal instead of targeted support.

For individuals, this means uncertainty and contradictory assessments. For organizations, the same patterns can be seen in rising absenteeism and declining performance. This is exactly where Balance comes in: with structured classification before assumptions shape decisions.

Stress often manifests itself unspecifically: exhaustion, sleep problems, inner restlessness or a drop in performance. Without medical classification, it remains unclear whether this is a temporary reaction, a relevant overload or the start of chronic dysregulation.

Many of those affected alternate between waiting, individual clarifications or selective measures - without a clear basis for decision-making. In organizations, the same lack of clarity leads to symbolic measures or delayed action.

Structured classification provides orientation here: it helps to decide how critical the situation is and which next steps are realistic and responsible.

New scope for action through clear classification

As soon as it becomes clear where and how the body is overloaded, the options change. Decisions become more targeted, more realistic - and technically sensible.

Balance provides orientation,

where medical clarification is necessary,
where support is useful,
and where there is currently no need for action.

This clarity reduces uncertainty, prevents actionism and forms the basis for building resilience and stability in a targeted manner.

Medical classification creates a structured decision-making framework: It shows which systems in the body are affected, how critical the situation is to be assessed and where priorities lie.

For individuals, this means that they no longer have to oscillate between contradictory assessments, but can act in a targeted and informed manner. For organizations, this creates the opportunity to effectively manage prevention and stabilization - before stress turns into failure.

This turns a vague feeling into a clear basis for responsible next steps.

How Balance works - the methodology in four phases

Balance is a medically responsible process for classifying stress and choosing sensible next steps. Orientation, objective analysis, targeted regulation and accompanied implementation are interlinked in a structured manner - multi-professional, quality-assured and comprehensible.

1

Orientation & classification

Clarification of the question, context and objective.
Result: Clarity about the need for action and realistic next steps.

2

Analysis - Integral Stress Test™ (IST)

Objective professional classification of stress as an analysis component of the balance methodology.
Result: A sound basis for decision-making instead of assumptions.

3

Regulation

Targeted measures based on the results, e.g. therapeutic interventions, biofeedback or - where appropriate - supplements.
ResultRealistic stabilization instead of actionism.

4

Accompaniment

Medical, therapeutic and coaching support for integration into everyday life.
ResultSustainable change instead of short-term effects.

The result: a reliable basis for making medically sound and realistic decisions - instead of being left in the dark.

Balance does not follow a collection of individual measures, but a clear decision-making logic: first the situation is understood and medically classified, then targeted steps are derived and supported on this basis.

The responsibility lies with clearly defined medical roles in the team. Psychotherapists and coaches complement the support within a coordinated, multi-professional framework. This creates orientation before intervention takes place - and a procedure that is comprehensible, safe and effective.

Our programs

Balance - for individuals

If you feel that something is wrong - exhaustion, inner restlessness or decreasing resilience - but you lack the medical classification, Balance provides clarity.

Balance for individuals

Balance - for companies

When increasing stress, decreasing regeneration or increasing absences become apparent, a sound basis for decision-making is needed instead of assumptions. Balance helps organizations to medically classify risks at an early stage and take targeted action.

Balance for companies

Balance in the care context

For healthcare professionals, insurers and partners.

For healthcare professionals

Medical classification for complex stress processes, structured relief in the event of capacity bottlenecks and professional cooperation on an equal footing.

Cooperation for professionals

For insurers & partners

Structured medical classification as a decision-making basis for prevention, prioritization and responsible management in the system context.

Cooperation for insurers & partners

When stress is classified medically - understanding it biologically, measuring it objectively

Stress is a biological adaptation process - and therefore objectively detectable.

Under prolonged stress, central regulatory mechanisms of the body change - often long before clear symptoms appear. These changes can be measured medically and classified professionally. This turns a vague feeling into a sound basis for responsible decisions.

Balance works with established biological markers:

Stress hormones (e.g. cortisol) - indications of chronic activation and regeneration
Heart rate variability (HRV) - Marker for regulatory and adaptive capacity
Neurotransmitter profiles - Indications of drive, focus and recovery

Measurement creates classification. Classification creates orientation. Orientation enables responsible decisions.

Among other things, stress influences the autonomic nervous system, hormonal regulation and neurobiological messengers. Changes in these systems can be recorded using established markers such as HRV, stress hormones or neurotransmitters. The decisive factor is not the measurement alone, but the medical classification in the overall context - as a basis for responsible next steps.

Trust & quality - medically sound, humanly accompanied

More about team, methodology and foundation

Balance is supported by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, psychotherapists and coaches who combine medical precision with personal support. Clear roles and responsibilities ensure that each phase is medically responsible and quality-assured.

The methodology is scientifically monitored, evaluated and continuously developed by the Heart-Based Medicine Foundation.

Your next step - clarity starts with a conversation

Free of charge - personal - at eye level

Why early classification counts

The earlier stress is medically assessed, the more effectively wrong decisions can be avoided and sensible next steps chosen. A personal initial consultation helps you to gain a sound understanding of your situation - and to assess whether and how Balance can support you or your organization.
