Metabolic Booster

What is the Mount Med Resort Nutrition Programme?

It is a specially developed metabolic programme created in collaboration with Professor Luigi Schiavo, a leading expert based at the University of Salerno. Over a period of three to six weeks, the body is brought to a metabolic state that combines the benefits of several approaches: intermittent fasting, calorie restriction and a low-fat, ‘no’ carb diet. The aim is to optimise the body’s detoxification, reduce fat reserves and improve overall health.

What are the benefits of the Nutrition Programme?

This ground-breaking programme offers numerous health benefits:

• Improved blood lipid levels: Lower triglycerides and cholesterol.

• Anti-inflammatory: Reduced chronic inflammation.

• Stabilised blood sugar: Lower insulin levels.

• Less visceral fat: Reduction in harmful abdominal fat.

• Clear thoughts, less brain fog: Greater mental clarity and concentration.

• Optimised liver function readings: Healthier liver.

• Healthy gut microbiome: Balanced intestinal flora improves digestion and immune function.

• Beautiful skin: Reduced cellulite and acne, firmer connective tissue.

• Improved microcirculation: Better blood flow right down to the tiniest blood vessels.

• Quicker wound healing: Recovery support after injury or surgery.

How did the Nutrition Programme come about?

Dr Alexander Papp: The idea came to me when I was working at the university hospital in Regensburg. I was thinking about how best to prepare breast cancer patients for reconstructive surgery following mastectomy and chemotherapy. These patients had often been hit hard, both emotionally and physically, and chronic wounds were common, particularly in radiated tissue.

My research took me to studies that emphasised the importance of a protein-rich diet with reduced sugar consumption, powerful vitamin C infusions and medicinal herbs to improve wound healing. During this period, I also got to know Horst Untermoser, who for years had been using low-calorie, low-fat and ketogenic diets to successfully treat a range of health conditions.

Combining these diets with infusions, medicinal herb wraps, body treatments and special therapeutic drinks had shown remarkable success, significantly reducing complications such as chronic wounds.

Who is the programme for?

Dr Alexander Papp: In light of its impressive results, the programme’s target group has been extended beyond cancer patients to include people who are overweight or have type 2 diabetes. We have also worked with biologist Susanne Mittendorfer to develop functional foods and phyto-based dietary supplements.

Today, the programme increasingly addresses people seeking to stay healthy, energetic and mentally fit for as long as possible – the aim being to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling ageing process.

The nutrition programme at Mount Med Resort is suitable for anyone, and we recommend that it be followed once a year for period of three to six weeks. This will provide a healthy detox and promote the body’s self-healing through autophagy.
