A Scientific Approach To Detox: Welcome to Park Igls

Mayr Cuisine: The Core Of Gut Healing
At the heart of the detox experience lies Mayr Cuisine, inspired by the pioneering work of Dr Franz Xaver Mayr, who believed that digestive health determines overall vitality. His approach focuses on cleansing the gut, retraining eating habits, and restoring balance.
1. Simplicity With Purpose
Meals are simple and soothing—lightly cooked vegetables, clear broths, spelt rolls, and herbal teas. This simplicity gives the digestive system a chance to rest, repair, and work efficiently.
2. Mindful Eating
Guests are encouraged to chew slowly and pause between bites, helping activate digestive enzymes and develop a more conscious relationship with food.
3. No Sugar Or Stimulants
Caffeine, alcohol, and refined sugar are avoided. By removing these triggers, the body experiences reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and steady energy.
4. Tailored To You
After an initial consultation, your meals are fully customised to your needs, taking into account gut health, sensitivities, and energy levels. The result is a detox plan that is as sustainable as it is effective.
Why Gut Health Matters
The gut is central to every aspect of wellbeing. It influences immunity, hormones, energy, and even skin health. Often called the “second brain,” it communicates with the rest of the body through the gut–brain axis, affecting mood, energy, and focus.
When the gut is imbalanced—whether from stress, medication, or diet—it can lead to fatigue, digestive issues, and systemic discomfort. At Park Igls, restoring gut health is the starting point for every transformation. When the gut heals, the rest of the body follows.
The Result: Long-Term Transformation
A stay at Park Igls goes far beyond temporary results. Guests leave lighter in body and spirit, reporting improved digestion, better sleep, clearer skin, and renewed balance. More importantly, they take home the tools and habits to maintain these changes—Mayr eating principles designed for daily life.
Is Park Igls Right for You?
If you are ready for a complete reset—whether addressing burnout, inflammation, or chronic fatigue—Park Igls offers a structured, medically guided route to lasting renewal. It’s a place where science and care meet, offering the body a genuine opportunity to restore itself.
This is not about perfection—it’s about reconnection to your body, your health, and your vitality.
