Great success of the first Body & Soul Escape from Madonna in Vienna!

On May 16, 2025, the first Body & Soul Escape took place in the Palais Festetics in Vienna, organized by Madonna, the largest weekly women's magazine in Austria. Over 1,000 guests accepted the invitation to this health and wellness event, which focused on topics such as health, wellbeing and better aging.

The event offered around 30 brands the opportunity to present their products in the areas of healthy eating, beauty and health. Supported by experts, the participants searched for answers to questions about detox, menopause and hormones. Top -class speakers such as Prof. GDR. Johannes Huber treated the complex hormone system and the side effects of menopause.

workshops and expert lectures

Nina Ruge, a pioneer in the area of ​​Longevity, spoke about scientific approaches to Better Aging. Also Dr. Artur and Dr. Kristina Worseg announced a new medical project in the Looshaus on Michaelerplatz in Vienna, which aroused great interest. In addition to these lectures, interactive workshops made it possible for guests to actively work on their health.

The meditation coach Shadi Pouyazadeh offered mindfulness exercises, and yoga teacher Julia Pross led a yoga session. A Skincare class from Biotherm and a Power Class from John Harris rounded off the offer.

hormone replacement therapy and their importance

A central topic of the event was hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This therapy is a hotly discussed topic for many women, since a decision for or against HRT often depends on personal suffering and the expression of the symptoms. The Frauenaerzt-im-Netz emphasizes that the therapy is designed according to the wishes of the patient and that a well-founded information about advantages and disadvantages is necessary.

In menopause, arduous symptoms such as hot flashes, depressive moods and sleep disorders can be alleviated by hormone replacement therapy. However, careful risk-risk assessment is essential, especially in women over 60 years. It is recommended not to start the therapy too late to optimally use the advantages.

alternative treatment options

In addition to hormone replacement therapy, there are hormone -containing creams and gels for women with special symptoms such as dry vagina that hand over little estrogen and are considered to be low in risk. These products keep the vaginal mucosae healthy and can prevent injuries and infections, such as the AOK reports.

There is intensive research into other alternatives, including phytohormones made of soy or flax seeds. While some data show a possible soothing effect of Cimicifuga preparations, there are also studies that indicate very low effectiveness. Users of these products should make sure to use registered medicines to avoid risks from unchecked products.

The Body & Soul Escape event has not only treated a wide range of topics, but also offered the opportunity to obtain sound information about health and alternative therapies.
