Longevity

The Longevity programme is a seven-night, medically supervised programme designed to release the body from strain and old patterns and strengthen the foundations for healthy ageing. It combines Detoxifying Fasting (detoxifying fasting diet according to the Buchinger method), medical diagnostics and targeted longevity therapies such as IHHT altitude training, ozone autohaemotherapy and a longevity infusion. Within seven nights, metabolic processes can realign, regeneration mechanisms can be activated, and energy and clarity can increase noticeably.

Longevity does not simply mean “living longer” – it means healthy ageing, staying as healthy as possible for as long as possible. The focus is on what is called healthspan: the span of time in which you live fit, clear and self-determined. The Tannerhof Longevity programme works on the scientifically well-researched levers: metabolism and insulin sensitivity, cellular renewal (autophagy, mitochondria), inflammation regulation and nervous system balance.

The Longevity programme is designed for seven nights (eight days). This duration is medically meaningful so that a robust physiological adaptation is possible – from relief through adaptation to more stable regulation. Arrival days are Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.

The Longevity programme starts at 1,330 euros (programme price, incl. statutory VAT). Included in the price are the medical consultation and final appointment, a blood analysis, bioimpedance analysis, ozone autohaemotherapy, two sessions of IHHT altitude training, a longevity infusion (drip), personal training for muscle building, breathing therapy, fascia treatment according to Dr. Typaldos and an acidosis massage. Accommodation and the detoxifying fasting diet are charged separately.

The programme combines medical diagnostics with targeted longevity therapies: medical consultation and final appointment, blood diagnostics (blood count, inflammation markers, liver and kidney values, blood sugar, cholesterol, PSA for men), bioimpedance analysis, ozone autohaemotherapy, two sessions of IHHT altitude training for mitochondrial regeneration, a longevity infusion (drip) with vitamins and minerals, personal training for muscle building, breathing therapy according to Herta Richter, fascia treatment according to Dr. Typaldos and an acidosis massage.

Autophagy is the body’s cellular “self-cleaning process”: damaged cell components are broken down and recycled, new structures are formed. Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering these mechanisms. Fasting is one of the best-known triggers of autophagy – which is why detoxifying fasting according to the Buchinger method is at the heart of the Longevity programme. This impulse is complemented by IHHT altitude training for mitochondrial regeneration and targeted stimulus and regeneration therapies.

The Longevity programme is suitable for health-conscious adults who want to invest preventively and thoughtfully in the second half of life – typically from their late thirties, forties, fifties or sixties. It is also a good framework after demanding phases of life, with declining energy or as a conscious reset. Whether fasting makes sense in an individual case is clarified during the medical consultation at the beginning. For certain pre-existing conditions (e.g. type 1 diabetes, unstable cardiovascular issues, pregnancy), detoxifying fasting is not suitable. The programme does not replace medical treatment of existing conditions.

Both programmes are based on detoxifying fasting according to Buchinger, but they set different priorities. Body Detox is a pure fasting and relief programme over eight or ten days – focused on cleansing, metabolic relief and regulation. Longevity goes further: it adds extended medical diagnostics (blood count, PSA), longevity-specific therapies (longevity infusion, extended IHHT application, fascia treatment) and a stronger focus on cellular renewal and muscle building. If you would like to learn more about the fasting process itself, you will find details on our Body Detox page.

The detoxifying fasting diet according to the Buchinger method is the centrepiece of the Longevity programme: vegetable broth, mild soups, freshly pressed juices, herbal teas and water. Abstaining from solid food activates autophagy, improves insulin sensitivity and reduces systemic inflammation. For the time afterwards, we recommend a sustainable change in eating habits – the ideal follow-up is our Nutrition programme with the low-carb diet “Schlanke Tanne”, which stabilises the results in everyday life.

The daily rhythm combines medical treatments with conscious regeneration: Kneipp applications or IHHT altitude training in the morning, blood diagnostics, ozone therapy, longevity infusion, personal training or fascia treatment during the day. The fasting diet of broth, soup and juices structures the day. Between treatments: movement in nature around Bayrischzell, rest phases in the panorama relaxation room of the Bade Harpfe or in the hut tower. In the evening, deep rest takes centre stage – because regeneration is part of the treatment.

The Longevity programme is bookable year-round at the Tannerhof. Many guests choose spring or autumn as natural transitional seasons for a reset. Arrival days are Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. What matters most is that you consciously give yourself time – the seven nights should remain free of professional obligations so that the fasting process, regeneration and therapies can develop their full effect.
