Wellness devotees have long been advocates of Chenot Palace Weggis in Switzerland, travelling far and wide for its world-renowned Chenot Method®, a programme that is guided by over 50 years of scientific studies.
Its approach combines a 5,000 square metre medical spa, unique advanced diagnostics, highly personalised treatments and detoxification techniques with superb hospitality, where optimal wellness comes with a side order of luxury. Based on the original principles developed by Henri Chenot back in the early Seventies, the Chenot Method® blends traditional Chinese practices with Western medicine, science and technology to help people live healthier for longer, by cleansing and resetting the body at cellular level, and re-energising the mitochondria.
Its principles follow four different pillars: Hydrotherapy – to improve blood and lymphatic circulation and eliminate toxins; Energetic Treatments – using components of traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture to restore physical and mental balance; Massage – which clears the energy flow in the meridians and re-energises the body; And, Chenot Diet® – a plant-based, fasting-mimicking diet which triggers autophagy, which literally translates as ‘eating myself’, and encourages the body to recycle or remove old damaged cells.
In fact, so important is the Chenot Diet® to the overall approach of Chenot Method®, that Chenot has just launched a brand new cookbook called Chenot Cookbook: Detox At Home. The new cook book provides everyone with an accessible way to enjoy the healthy yet delicious meals that are served as part of the Chenot Diet®, with recipes that constitute a fast-mimicking diet that allows the body to focus on cell repair instead of production, promoting healthy ageing.
The culinary brainchild of Chenot’s executive chef Ettore Moliteo, in collaboration with the expert team of nutritional scientists at Chenot Palace Weggis, the 170 plant-based, science-backed recipes are curated to deliver around 850 calories in a day across three meals, for a maximum of seven days, with an over-riding mission to outline how food is not just fuel, it’s also therapy, too. So for those wanting a gentle immersion into the Chenot Method®, this new cookbook could be just the answer: award-winning wellness from the comfort of your own kitchen.
