Medical Wellness Retreat at Lake Altaussee: 7-Night Gut Health & Longevity Programme in Austria

MAYRLIFE is one of the few places that runs 100% personalised nutrition as standard: you don't pick from a menu, the kitchen cooks to a plan your doctor writes after your initial exam. The first day or two are heavy on diagnostics — blood tests, intolerance screening, body composition — and the results feed into everything that follows. That includes your meals, your supplement protocol, your therapy schedule and how hard your exercise sessions are.

The medical side draws on both conventional medicine and the traditional F.X. Mayr cure, a European gut-focused approach built around rest for the digestive system, manual abdominal treatment, and gradual return to normal eating. Around that sits modern kit: infusion therapy, physiotherapy, ultrasound diagnostics, and in some programmes GLP-1 support or female hormone health add-ons. You'll see the same core team across the week, and they adjust as they go rather than handing you a fixed timetable on day one.

Programmes are split into Signature (from 7 nights) and Reset (from 4 nights). Signature options include Classic, Optimal Weight, Active Detox, Stress Control, Anti-Inflammation and Longevity/Healthy Aging. Reset options include the 4-day Anti-Inflammatory Reset created with Dr. Barbara Sturm, a Leader's Performance Plus programme, a Weight Balance Reset and a Health Potential Reset. Each has its own price and length, and add-ons like Female Balance or Preventive Ultrasound Plus can be bolted onto a Signature stay.

Exercise is prescribed rather than scheduled as group classes. You might get guided walks around the lake, one-to-one sessions in the gym, or a physiotherapy appointment, depending on your programme and how your body is responding. The emphasis is on restoring energy, not burning calories. Guests regularly report sleeping better and feeling lighter by the end of the week, which is consistent with the gut-rest approach and the removal of alcohol, caffeine and heavy foods from the menu.

Accommodation is on site at the resort in Altaussee, so you never leave the property between treatments. The village sits on Lake Altaussee in the Salzkammergut region of Austria, about an hour and a half from Salzburg. Mountains rise directly behind the hotel, the lake is a two-minute walk, and the air is noticeably cleaner than in the city. Between appointments you can walk the shoreline path, sit in the garden, or use the spa facilities.

The medical team works with Karl Landsteiner University in Krems on microbiome research, and findings from that work feed back into the Health Concept. That research angle is part of why the diagnostics here go deeper than a standard wellness retreat check-up. You leave with a written plan for home, not just a week of feeling better.
