My framework
Uli Gutbrod’s Recovery Pyramid.
Five levels that organise our work. Together, we look at which foundations need attention and which next step makes sense.
Understand the connections.
Set priorities.
The pyramid puts foundations, measurements and sessions in a clear order. It is a coaching model I developed, not a medically validated diagnostic procedure.
The levels are connected. You do not have to work through them in a rigid sequence. Your concern, history and capacity determine our choices.
Discuss your first stepFrom foundations to mental resilience
The five levels in everyday life.
The foundations of health
Sleep, nutrition, movement and breaks influence how you experience demands and recover. We begin with your daily routine and the habits you can realistically change.
Sleep habits · Movement · Nutrition · Recovery time
Understand before we act
An in-depth conversation and suitable measurements help put things into context. HRV, BIA and metabolic measurements answer different questions. They do not provide a complete diagnosis of your health.
Health conversation · HRV · BIA · Monitoring over time
The nervous system
We practise returning to a calmer state after demands. HRV biofeedback, breathing practice and guided relaxation may help. Your experience and tolerance guide the approach.

Cellular energy & metabolism
Movement, nutrition and medical assessment of persistent fatigue remain important. After a suitability check, IHHT may be a complementary element. Claims of guaranteed mitochondrial renewal or cellular rejuvenation would go too far.

Brain & mental resilience
Sleep, managing demands, social contact and appropriate activity are part of this. Complementary sessions are considered in terms of their possibilities and limitations. New memory problems or other neurological symptoms require medical assessment.

Personal contact
Let us discuss what could help you.
Tell me about your concern. We discuss a sensible first step and any questions that should first be assessed medically.
