THE SECOND FIFTY YEARS
The first fifty years are largely given to you.
The second fifty years are yours to earn.
THE REGULATION METHOD
Measure . Understand . Restore
"A method for revealing where your body is currently losing its ability
to regulate and recover — and what therefore needs attention first".
I am Michaël Hontelé. For nearly twenty years, I have been working with people who want to know not only what is going wrong, but above all why their body regulates, recovers, or adapts less effectively.
In my practice, I combine assessments of body composition, autonomic nervous system function, microcirculation and the biological terrain with attention to your emotional wellbeing, drawing on many years of experience in integrative health.
This creates a broader picture of how your body functions, reacts, and recovers, and of the factors that help determine how you feel in your body.
Not to find as many abnormalities as possible, but to understand where your body becomes unbalanced and where the main priority lies for recovery.
NOT MORE ADVICE, BUT BETTER PRIORITIES.
You want to feel better.
More energy.
Recover faster after exertion.
Sleep better.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
Losing balance less often.
Become mentally calmer and emotionally more resilient.
In short:
Make sure your body can keep following your plans.
YOUR BODY RESPONDS ON HOW YOU INHABIT IT
Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, relationships and thoughts continuously influence your physiology.
This aligns with what epigenetics has shown us: our genes are not a fixed program.
Environmental and lifestyle factors can influence, through epigenetic mechanisms, which genes are expressed more actively and which are expressed less.
The practical message is important:
Your lifestyle is constantly communicating with your biology.
That is why I do not look only at the physical body.
I look at the relationship between, among other things:
-
the autonomic nervous system and the body's capacity to recover
-
body composition
-
minerals and trace elements
-
the biological terrain
-
nutrition and lifestyle
-
mental and emotional stress
When this information comes together, a much clearer picture emerges.
Where is the greatest stress?
Where is the greatest potential for improvement?
What deserves attention first right now?
My goal is not to treat everything.
My goal is to better understand the conditions the body needs in order to regulate itself and recover.
UNDERSTAND FIRST. THEN CHANGE.
After nearly twenty years of working in practices in the United States, Colombia, Spain and the Netherlands, I have developed my own integrative approach: The Regulation Method.
I combine different measurements and observations to answer one central question:
What is preventing this body from regulating itself and recovering as well as it could?
I do not look at isolated numbers, but at the relationships between them.
That helps reveal where the greatest potential for improvement lies.
Not more advice, but better priorities.
THIS IS HOW THE REGULATION METHOD WORKS
Not everyone needs the same measurements. Depending on your situation, I select the areas that help reveal where your greatest regulatory stress lies.
The measurements are not the goal. They help show the way forward.
MEASURE
We map out how your body is functioning right now: autonomic regulation, body composition, biological stress and capacity for recovery.
UNDERSTAND
I connect the measurements with your symptoms, lifestyle and personal situation. Not every abnormal value carries the same significance.
RESTORE
From there, a personal order of priorities emerges: what comes first, what can wait, and what may not be necessary at all.
1. HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV)
Emwave . Heartmath
Provides insight into how your autonomic nervous system functions and how it consequently regulates many of the body’s most essential processes.
2. BIOLOGICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS (BIA)
Provides insight into body composition, including muscle mass, fat mass, total body water and how these are distributed. Additional calculations help track changes in body composition and physical condition over time
3. LIVE BLOOD ANALYSIS
Microscopic observation of fresh capillary blood. I look at visible characteristics such as cell shape, aggregation and dynamics. I use these images as an additional observation within the broader context of measurements and health history, not as a form of medical diagnosis.
OLIGOSCAN
A non-invasive spectrophotometric screening that provides additional insight into patterns related to minerals and trace elements. I use the results solely as a supplementary observation, not as a medical diagnosis or a substitute for laboratory testing.
MICROCIRCULATION & HYDROGEN INHALATION (H₂)
Good microcirculation is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and for removing metabolic waste products.
By actively supporting microcirculation while also addressing oxidative and inflammatory stress, recovery can be supported on several levels at the same time.
I use molecular hydrogen inhalation as a complementary strategy because of its studied antioxidant and inflammation-modulating effects.
THE SECOND 50 YEARS
The first 50 years are a gift.
The second 50 years you have to earn.
Not by being obsessed about your health, but by understanding in time what is changing and being able to respond to that. Stay strong. Sleep well. Maintain muscle mass. Rocover. Have energy. Stay mentally clear and focussed. Remain independent.
I came across this saying years ago:
"If you don't take good care of yourself, where are you going to live?"
Your body is not just something you have. It is the place from where you live, move, think, feel and grow older.
START WITH A PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
The first step in The Regulation Method is a personal assessment.
We map out your key regulatory systems and identify where the greatest potential for improvement lies right now.
You leave with a clear picture of your current situation, the most important connections, and above all, a clear order of priorities.
Available in The Hague and Breda / West-Brabant on selected consultation days throughout the year.
