Health Prevention & Anti-Aging Consultation Hamburg

Prevention and early identification of potential risk factors are gaining increasing importance in medicine. This is why the Medical Director of Sana Praevention Hamburg (formerly Conradia Medical Prevention Hamburg), Prof. Dr Christoph M. Bamberger focuses entirely on proactive prevention, diagnostics and preventive health care. The preventive medicine and hormone specialist offers individual medical services at the highest level in the exclusive atmosphere of Sana Praevention Hamburg facility in Hamburg, covering all aspects of modern precautionary health care. 

Sana Praevention Hamburg – Leader in Preventive Medicine

Sana Praevention Hamburg is one of the leading institutions for preventive medicine in Germany. You will be personally cared for by a team of internationally renowned medical specialists. In order to be able to offer the additional range of services consisting of various special examinations (for example, gynaecological or urological examinations), the facility cooperates closely with a specialist network which also includes the nearby University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.

Outstanding Accomplishments as a Hormone Specialist

After training to become a specialist in internal medicine with a focus on endocrinology (hormonal balance), Prof. Bamberger was honoured with several awards over the years that followed for his outstanding scientific work. In 2003, he became the holder of the first professorship in Germany for endocrinology and the metabolism of ageing. In 2006, he founded the Medical Prevention Center Hamburg (MPCH), which was recently renamed as Sana Praevention Hamburg.

A Variety of Diagnostic Options for Preventive Health Care

At Sana Praevention Hamburg, patients can choose between different check-up packages for examining all of the important organ systems. Early detection is the best prevention. A comprehensive check-up offers the best conditions for early detection of individual risk factors and indications of any possible illness. This allows quick action to be taken – be it to prevent a disease or to cure it swiftly. In addition to the check-up packages offered, you can also individually select and take advantage of various diagnostic and coaching services.

A Relaxed Atmosphere During Your Check-up

More than 15,000 complete check-ups have already been carried out at Sana Praevention Hamburg – for patients from all over the world. When it comes to the technical equipment, again, the highest quality standards apply. Prof. Bamberger works exclusively with state-of-the-art, gentle examination procedures that are best tolerated by the patient and do not impair his or her well-being. In general, everything at the renowned Sana Praevention Hamburg focuses on the well-being of patients and customers.

In order to make the short breaks between the examinations as pleasant as possible, a comfortably furnished room is made available for you during your check-up. In your personal relaxation room, you have the opportunity to watch TV, use the internet, relax or enjoy the excellent room service. This is also where the final consultation will be held after the examinations are complete, during which the check-up team, headed by Prof. Bamberger, will explain your results to you.

The Four Pillars of Preventive Health Care

The health checks and preventive medical check-ups that are offered don't only focus on physical health. Physical and mental health form a single unit and should not be considered as separate from one another. Prof. Bamberger's philosophy takes into account four steps of prevention for better health. In addition to optimal preventive care, these include optimising lifestyle, supportive medication, and a positive attitude towards the natural ageing process. If necessary, Sana Praevention Hamburg also supports you with stress management and lifestyle coaching. This focuses on goal-oriented solutions and improving physical and mental performance.

Sana Praevention Hamburg Offers the Following Check-up Packages:

Premium Image Check-Up

In addition to a medical history being captured and a physical examination, this check-up also includes comprehensive laboratory tests, which shed light not only on metabolic parameters, but also on one's hormonal status and on vital trace elements and vitamins. A body composition analysis and a bone density measurement are also included. Likewise, ultrasound examinations of the abdominal organs, the carotid artery, the heart and the thyroid gland are performed. The first part of the examination is concluded by a radiation-free whole-body MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan, which can also include a virtual colonoscopy (without an endoscope) on request. After a recovery break, the check-up continues with a stress ECG and a pulmonary function test (spirometry). This is followed by a skin check and an eye check.

Upon request, this check-up can be chosen without the MRI (Term: Premium Check-Up).

If you would like to have a whole-body MRI scan but do not want to take up the other services mentioned above, this is offered as the Bodyscan Check-Up.

A smaller, purely internal check-up can also be chosen, which is called the Standard Check-Up.

After the results have been established, a doctor from the prevention team will discuss your current health status with you. This final consultation will take place in your private lounge. You will be advised on how to adapt your lifestyle to the state of your health and about which medications or supplements are conducive to your health.

Customised Health Check-ups

In addition to these comprehensive check-ups, Sana Praevention Hamburg also offers individual examinations to provide you with an even better overview of the state of your health, e.g. multiparametric prostate MRI, breast MRI (radiation-free breast cancer screening), an MRI-based diagnostic procedure to determine Alzheimer's risk, and preventive genetic diagnostics.

Furthermore, the hormone specialist Prof. Bamberger carries out special check-ups in the context of corporate health, which are tailor-made for executives and managers. In addition to comprehensive diagnostic examinations, topics such as stress management, work-life balance, solution-oriented coaching in crisis situations, nutrition and personalized nutritional supplementation play a role here.

Prostate MRI

The multiparametric prostate MRI is particularly suitable for clarifying elevated PSA levels, which occur frequently in old age and by themselves do not yet allow a precise diagnosis. A prostate MRI can spare 50% of patients with suspicious values from having a sample biopsy of prostate tissue removed. The examination, which uses 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging, is a very gentle procedure that does not put strain on the patient.

Exceptional Achievements as a Hormone Specialist

He received several awards for his exceptional scientific work after training as an internal medicine specialist focused on endocrinology (hormone balance). In 2003, he became the first professor of endocrinology and metabolism of aging in Germany. In 2006, he founded the Medical Prevention Center Hamburg (MPCH), later renamed Conradia Medical Prevention Hamburg and now Sana Prevention Hamburg.

Prof. Bamberger's focus is always on preventing illness using systematic preventive health care and measures. It is very important to the renowned expert to cater to the needs of each patient personally – because only then can he develop tailor-made strategies for maintaining the health of each individual. The hormone specialist is always empathetic and approachable. Prof. Bamberger takes a close look at every aspect of the comprehensive diagnostics and discusses the results with you in detail and in a comprehensible way.
