"Total Aging Management is not cosmetics and it builds from inside," says Dr. Claude Chauchard.A guest at LWRM starts with a lifestyle, biophysical, biochemical and medical anti-aging evaluation with the goal of not only measuring the current health capital, but, most importantly, to detect signs of early aging and prevent the occurrence of future critical illnesses through a preventative approach.
Stress is the reaction to our external environment as well as our inner thoughts and feelings, the result of repeated high demands imposed on us by work, family and lifestyle and that we impose on ourselves through our desire of accomplishment. If mild stress acts as motivation, extreme levels of pressure can produce many symptoms and diseases mediated by changes in immune function, hormonal responses and biochemical reactions, which then influence body functions in our digestive, cardiovascular, neurological and musculoskeletal systems. As a result, a wide variety of problems such as headaches, back pain, infection, heart disease or cancer in long-term, may occur, not to mention, stress is also a leading factor in the aging process.The 7 Day Detox & Stress Management Program is designed to benefit those who are routinely subjected to high demands, particularly mental demands, such as executives and people undergoing personal changes or other events that increase energy demands.
At Longevity, a complete biophysical evaluation and specific blood and urine analysis will determine as well as monitor health status and diagnose hidden risk factors and early signs of critical illnesses. Guests will discuss personal goals and select the best treatment program to optimize their stay and create a personal health program for the future. The treatment includes an individualized specific antioxidant therapy to detoxify and revitalize and is complete with follow up consultations to review the progress of your program.
Assessments will be performed including comprehensive cognitive testing, evaluation of personal resources and behavioral patterns of stress. It focuses on the adoption of stress reduction techniques and relaxation methods that lead to positive changes and help manage stress levels.
Healthy eating is an integral part of the program. Nutritionists will discuss nutritional goals and look at current dietary patterns while giving plenty of easy-to-implement take home advice. Dietary habits play an important role in preventative and curative aspects of health while nutrition participates in restoring and maintaining health by supplying necessary nutrients to body cells for energy production, tissue repair, hormone production, and proper organ function. As a main component of what determines our health and longevity, LWRM has made nutrition a focus in all guests' stays, in an exclusive partnership with the renowned Chef Olivier. Each guest engaged in a Medical Program is scheduled to sit with a nutritionist and determine a diet plan that will support a better and healthy lifestyle.
A personal health and fitness profile will provide guests with valuable feedback. A fitness professional will measure aerobic capacity, flexibility, and balance and will design a tailor-made exercise plan.
Meditation is a graceful practice for harmonizing the mind and spirit. It enables you to direct your thoughts towards a peaceful outlook in everyday situations. With practice, stress is replaced by a deep sense of peace, happiness, and harmony.
