Longevity Medicine: Aging Healthily
Longevity, health, and holistic well-being – the health philosophy at the Longevity Hotel Park Igls combines traditional healing knowledge with the insights of modern longevity medicine. Head Physician Dr Peter Gartner sheds light on the medical background and shows how longevity can be consciously promoted.
A Concept with New Medical Relevance
Redefining Longevity
Renaissance of an Historic Term
The term longevity is by no means new – in fact, it was already used in medical and philosophical writings in the 17th century. What was once seen as an abstract ideal has in recent years evolved into a scientifically-based goal of modern medicine: promoting longevity, not just by extending lifespan, but primarily by optimizing health span.
A Visionary Approach, Evolving in Modern Mayr Medicine
Dr F.X. Mayr: A Visionary of Longevity
While tech companies research genetic interventions and cell rejuvenation, Park Igls takes a holistic approach that builds on the medical legacy of Dr F.X. Mayr. Over 100 years ago, he recognized the central importance of digestion for holistic health – a principle that has been further developed in Modern Mayr Medicine.
Targeted Measures to Promote Regeneration and Vitality
Three Paths to Cell Health
Being Active for Cell Health
At the Park Igls Medical Spa Resort, physical activity is much more than just an addition – individually tailored movement stimulates circulation, supports metabolism, and strengthens cell health. Studies show that targeted movement improves mitochondrial function and slows down the aging process on a cellular level.
Nutrition, Fasting, and Autophagy
The focus is on the targeted strengthening of cell regeneration and metabolic processes. The combination of individualized nutritional management, fasting, and innovative methods such as acid-base regulation forms the foundation of a comprehensive longevity program. The goal is to reduce cellular stress and activate the body's self-cleaning powers – autophagy. Nutrition plays a central role in every longevity diet, which is tailored to the metabolism and current health status of the individual.
Oxygen Training for the Cell Powerhouses
Our IHHT Therapy (Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training) supports the regeneration of mitochondria – a central element of modern longevity medicine. This innovative method trains the mitochondria – the powerhouses of the cells – through alternating oxygen stimuli. This optimizes cellular energy production and supports regeneration – an essential component of modern longevity therapies.
