Scientifically sound & certified

  • The IST™ was calculated on the basis of current stress research developed.
  • It combines various internationally recognized questionnaires (including. PHQ, CBI, ERI, GAD-7) and makes visible which factors influence your stress level.
  • It recognizes not only high, but also small and medium changes, that could lead to serious problems later on - and is therefore an effective instrument for Early detection and prevention.
  • Studies show: 15-20 % of the population have a high vulnerability to mental illness. With the IST™, you can recognize whether you are one of them - and can take action in good time.
  • The IST™ saves valuable time: coaches report that the questionnaire alone saves around 5 sessions and leads directly to the core of the problem.
  • At higher levels, additional biological parameters such as heart rate variability (HRV), cortisol or neurotransmitters - for an even more comprehensive picture.
  • All IST™ coaching sessions are organized by certified health coaches with experience in medicine, psychology and coaching.
