Nutrition & Fasting
Targeted nutrition and fasting support the body's natural regeneration and promote a healthy metabolic balance.
Mindful nutrition. Personal regeneration.
Nutrition influences far more than our energy supply. What, how and when we eat affects digestion, metabolism and wellbeing. That is why Nutrition & Fasting is a central element of the Lanserhof Concept – closely linked to medical diagnostics, therapy, movement and regeneration.
Tailored to you
Our aim is to relieve the organism in a targeted way and to develop, together with you, a way of eating that suits your body, your state of health and your personal goals.
Every person arrives with different prerequisites. That is why there is neither a rigid nutrition plan nor one form of fasting at Lanserhof that applies to everyone alike.
After your initial medical consultation and the further diagnostics, your medical team draws up your personal therapy and health plan. Based on it, they also decide which nutrition or fasting stage accompanies you during your stay.
Nutrition thus becomes an individual part of your therapy – not a concept you have to adapt to.
The Lanserhof cure stages
The different cure stages make it possible to shape relief, fasting and the reintroduction of food individually.
Which stage is right for you and for how long it is used is decided individually by your medical team.
-
Stage 0 – Therapeutic fasting
A strongly calorie-reduced fasting phase based on tea and alkaline broth to relieve the organism in a targeted way.
-
Stage 1 – Autophagy stage
The energy intake is raised gently. At the same time the Lanserhof chewing and taste training begins, with conscious, thorough chewing.
-
Stage 2 – Modified fasting
The choice of foods is widened step by step. Gently prepared foods support a controlled, individually tailored reintroduction of food.
-
Stage 3 – Microbiome and metabolic build-up
A more varied, wholesome diet supports the further build-up and gradually leads the metabolism towards a wider range of foods.
-
Active – balanced and wholesome
The Lanserhof Active Cuisine combines fresh, organic and, wherever possible, seasonal ingredients with the principles of the Lanserhof Energy Cuisine. It can form the start of a stay as well as a later part of the reintroduction of food.
The gut at the centre
The digestive system holds a special place in the Lanserhof Concept. That is why we look not only at what you eat, but also at how your body processes food.
Carefully selected foods, gentle preparation, conscious chewing and individually timed meals and digestive breaks are a firm part of our approach. The digestive system is deliberately given time to process, rest and regenerate.
Fasting as targeted relief
For us, fasting is never an end in itself. Conscious breaks from eating and individually applied fasting phases can relieve digestion and metabolism and support the body's own regeneration processes.
What matters is not eating as little as possible for as long as possible, but which form of relief makes medical sense for you and fits into your personal therapy plan.
Eating consciously during and after your stay
Lanserhof is not about short-lived nutrition trends, prohibitions or rigid rules. For us, enjoyment and health belong together.
During your stay you learn to perceive your body's reactions more consciously: what agrees with me? When do I need food – and when a break? Which habits support my wellbeing?
Together with your medical team, individual recommendations can grow from this that accompany you after your stay as well.
Part of a greater whole
Nutrition & Fasting is one of the elements of the Lanserhof Concept. Its effect unfolds in interplay with medical diagnostics, individually tailored therapies, movement and regeneration.
Because in our view, health arises where different factors interlock meaningfully – tailored to the individual.
