Research
The IMA is a research-oriented platform for integrative men's health and andrology, led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Michael Zitzmann. It brings together clinical experience, research, and medical insights on key topics in men's health across all stages of life.
Hormonal and Metabolic Systems
Hormones and metabolism are key regulatory systems for men's health. Their interactions with mental health, sleep, inflammation, and lifestyle determine well-being, performance, and long-term health.
Sexuality, Psychology, and Identity
Sexuality, mental well-being, and male identity are closely intertwined—and are often early indicators of underlying biological dysregulation. The IMA examines these dimensions without oversimplification, but with medical precision.
Function, Energy, and Performance
Energy, performance, and physical function are the result of finely tuned biological systems. The IMA explores how fatigue, sleep, exercise, and cognitive health are interconnected and what these signals mean from a medical perspective.
Specific Syndromes
Some clinical presentations arise in connection with medications or following certain infectious diseases. The IMA takes these syndromes seriously, classifies them scientifically, and distinguishes them from one another in a nuanced manner.
Lifespan
Men's health spans a biological and psychosocial lifespan. The IMA supports men through all stages—from fertility and performance to healthy aging.
Relationship Health
Health is not purely an individual matter. Changes in hormone levels, sexual function, psychological stress, or chronic illness often affect both partners in a relationship—biologically, emotionally, and in everyday life.
