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.

Tradition Meets Innovation

Longevity at Park Igls

Whether as a targeted longevity treatment, a preventive measure, or part of a holistic lifestyle change – the health hotel Park Igls Medical Spa Resort offers a well-founded answer to the desire for vital aging, with its medical team, modern diagnostic methods, and personalized therapy plans.

Conclusion

Longevity Begins in the Here and Now

Longevity is no longer just a buzzword today – it is a manifestation of a new health culture that combines responsibility, knowledge, and joy of life. At Park Igls, this aspiration becomes a reality – with evidence-based methods, medical supervision, and space for true regeneration. At Park Igls, your personal longevity doctor accompanies you – medically sound and individually supported.
