Why many therapies don't stick

Health has an order.

Most people chase symptoms – one remedy here, one therapy there. It gets briefly better, then tips back. We work at the root cause and in the right order. That's exactly what makes the difference – and exactly what's most often done wrong.

1
Find the causeWithout a diagnosis, it's all guesswork. We measure instead of assuming – lab work, cell status, nervous system.
2
Calm the nervous systemA body in constant alarm doesn't heal. First we bring you out of stress mode with NeuroPerform°.
3
Relieve & detoxifyFirst the burden goes – gut, environment, silent inflammation – then the body can build energy again.
4
Restore cell energyNow we bring your mitochondria back into rhythm – the foundation for energy and regeneration.
5
Build up & stabilizeNutrients, regeneration and psyche – so health stays, not just flickers briefly.

Our four pillars – this is what we stand for:

Real journeys from our practice

Away from long-term medication and chronic illness.

For people who no longer want to just manage their condition, but resolve its cause – and are ready to invest in their health. These are journeys we were allowed to accompany:

Instead of amputation

Back on his feet

A family member faced leg amputation – today he's back in life without a wheelchair.

Without antidepressants

Back in the mountains

A mountaineer found his way back to motivation, his hobby and real joy in life – without ongoing medication.

A new perspective

Back into life

A young person in deep crisis is now back in the middle of life – in training and happy.

Out of burnout

Into a dream job

From total exhaustion back to energy – and onto a path that's truly fulfilling.

In a single session

Allergy noticeably eased

A burdensome allergy was noticeably eased within a single treatment.

Individual experiences from our practice. Everyone is different – we don't promise a cure, but honest, root-cause care.

My story

"Without my health, I would never have made it to the Olympics."

An eating disorder, a performance slump, unfulfilled hopes for a child – and then, with three children, back to the world's top level. No one knows the body like someone who's understood it at its absolute limit. That's exactly the knowledge I pass on to you today.

Let's be honest

What might still make you hesitate.

"She's an Olympian – does she understand me too, if I'm not an athlete?"

That's exactly why. Anyone who has understood and optimized their own body for years at the absolute limit of performance knows its mechanisms like few others – energy, regeneration, nervous system, hormones. Elisabeth applies this knowledge to every person: child, working professional, or someone at 70. You always go to the best – not because you're an athlete, but because your body deserves the best care.

"I've already seen so many people – does this even help?"

Understandable. The difference: we don't treat symptoms, we look for the cause first – with real diagnostics. Many hear for the first time with us why things aren't working for them.

"Isn't this all just esoteric?"

No. We combine measurable diagnostics (lab work, HRV, cell status) with proven naturopathy – precision and mitochondrial medicine instead of gut feeling. What we do, we explain to you in a way you can follow.

"What does it cost – and is it worth it?"

Costs depend on your path; we discuss that openly. We work as leanly as possible – often kinesiology and functional diagnostics already give many answers. What really costs you more is a body running below its potential for years.

"How quickly does this work?"

Honest answer: it's a journey, not a switch. Many feel more energy and fewer symptoms after just a few weeks – lasting, because we work at the root cause.

"Do I have to change my whole life then?"

No. We go step by step in the right order – as much as fits into your life. You set the pace.

Frequently asked questions

What you want to know about BrandauVital.

What is mitochondrial medicine?

Mitochondria are the power plants of your cells. When they're disrupted, energy, regeneration and freedom from pain suffer. Mitochondrial medicine brings them back into rhythm with targeted diagnostics and therapy – the foundation for health and performance.

What is NeuroPerform°?

An approach that addresses pain and weakness through the nervous system. Often the brain withdraws strength or creates pain to protect itself. NeuroPerform° restores communication between brain and body – not just the tissue.

Who is the practice suitable for?

For people with chronic pain, persistent fatigue, movement blocks, after sports injuries, or when standard therapies aren't helping – children and adults alike.

Do you also treat ADHD in children?

Yes. We take a holistic, root-cause approach to concentration, restlessness and sensory processing – looking at nutrition, cell health and the nervous system, without rushing to labels.

What can I do about Long- or Post-COVID?

We help you find your way back to energy and resilience in a structured way – through diagnostics, mitochondrial support and an individually tailored recovery plan.

How does the first appointment work?

At your first appointment we take time for your story, look at the causes holistically, and agree on the next steps together. You'll get the details in advance.

Do you also offer remote therapy?

Yes. A lot can be accompanied remotely if you can't be on-site in Schönaich.

Who is Elisabeth Brandau?

Naturopath, Olympian and entrepreneur. She combines holistic medicine with genuine elite-sport experience – treating causes instead of managing symptoms.
