The approach at Chenot Palace

Chenot does not treat disease. Instead, they promote wellness with preventative and health promoting actions. They act in a proactive way and not just from the repair point of view. They have a holistic vision of the body and thus they adopt a multidisciplinary approach to their method of work.

With nearly 50 years of research, the Chenot Method® is the scientific and practical framework of their work over the course of their programmes. The success of their method, lies in the research-driven approach to the diagnostics and to the way treatments are carefully interwoven, seamlessly layered and thought-fully connected. Synergy and connection are the key tenants of their concept.

The Chenot Method® looks with scientific accuracy at an important array of biomarkers within the body. These are known as the Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers® and allow the personalisation of your treatment plan. They also assess what is impacting your ageing process from your lifestyle and they also determine your Vitality Index.

The Vitality Index is Chenot's monitoring and marker system. It measures your vitality status. Think of it as your sophisticated wellness score.

Over the course of your programme, they then deliver a set of bespoke treatments and diet plans. These work in synergy to stimulate the body to eliminate toxins, increase vitality, energy levels, and to rebalance its physiology. The Chenot Method® enhances and upgrades your vitality at any stage of life.

The nutrition at Chenot Palace

Haute gastronomy meets cutting-edge science.

An essential component of the Chenot Method®, the Chenot Diet® is a pivotal intervention in Chenot programs, promoting cell rejuvenation and resistance to disease. Informed by half a century of ongoing research, the diet is created by a talented team of creative chefs, food scientists and nutritionists to work in perfect synergy with your medical treatments.

The Chenot Diet® consists of three appetising, multi-sensory, reduced-calorie and plant-based meals a day, each precisely formulated to combine good fats, low glycaemic index carbohydrates and limited amounts of plant proteins. This composition of food triggers the body’s fasting response whilst providing ample nourishment to the cells, stimulating the senses, and avoiding the unpleasant side effects and risks posed by strict, prolonged fasts.

This eating plan will activate important ancestral survival genes and molecular pathways that will inhibit cell proliferation and division, instead intensifying cell protection and defence mechanisms. Moving from growth to detox mode, your cells will then recycle and remove unwanted metabolic waste and will rapidly repair, energise and rejuvenate.

FAQs

These are the FAQs of Chenot Palace.

You can find the Serenity Ways FAQs here.

Do I need to book a programme to stay at Chenot Palace Weggis?

The access to Chenot Palace Weggis is granted exclusively to the guests following the Chenot programme. Any other overnight stays with a different purpose rather than following a programme and of a shorter length than seven nights are not permitted.

What happens on the day I arrive?

On the arrival day you will start your programme with the detox dinner. No other treatments or consultations are planned until the following day.

What is the Check-in and Check-out schedule?

Check-in is at 15:00. Check-out is at 12:00.Early check-in or later check-out is possible only in case of the availability of the assigned rooms and may be subject to additional charges.

What is the Chenot Diet?

It is a low-calorie plant-based diet, high in nutrients, with a specific combination of good fats, low glycemic index carbohydrates, fibres and limited plant proteins. It is a “fasting with food” approach which provides nourishment to the body and reduces the risks associated with total fasting.

The Chenot Diet includes no snacks. It helps to reduce insulin resistance and therefore allow better control of blood sugar levels. It is also stimulating metabolic flexibility (fed/fasted).

The Chenot Diet contains no animal protein. Protein restriction and in particular restriction of specific amino acids found mainly in animal food sources, reduce the “command growth” within the body and facilitate the breakdown and removal of toxins.

There are only 850 calories served daily in the Chenot Diet. The body must enter a fasted state that enhances “autophagy” which is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, regenerating newer, healthier cells and promoting rejuvenation. It also helps the body to flip the metabolic switch to burn fat and regulate blood sugar levels. Compared to zero-calorie fasting, the Chenot Diet nourishes vital processes and is making dining an experience without compromising the pleasure of taste.

There are no caffeine drinks in the Chenot Diet. Caffeine acts as a stimulant, a vasoconstrictor, and a promoter of a stress response, hindering optimal relaxation. It has been found to limit the absorption of nutrients from food, while Chenot would like to maximize the nutritional content. As you are invited to practice mindful eating, caffeine may numb the perception of taste through receptor binding capacity, a vital sensor for engaging with food.

Can a person staying with me not follow a programme?

Admittance to Chenot Palace Weggis is exclusively reserved for guests participating in the Chenot programmes with a valid reservation. Overnight stays unrelated to the programme and lasting fewer than 7 nights are not allowed. In order to safeguard the privacy of guests, the reception of temporary external visitors is restricted to designated public areas, such as the lobby or tea lounge.
