“We are not what we eat. We are what we digest.”
Famously known for applying “Chewing, Fasting & Detoxification” as medicine, Prof. Dr. Harald Stossier created Modern Mayr Medicine (MMM) which strives for holistic health, focusing on reactivating the body’s self-healing powers and restoring its energy levels. The goal of MMM is to prevent disease and maintain health through the principles of complementary medicine, based on the pioneering work of Dr. F. X.
Mayr, a leader in natural preventive medicine. His groundbreaking approach to digestive health created a paradigm shift in Europe, and today it remains the foundation of Modern Mayr Medicine.
The philosophy of Modern Mayr Medicine
is a lifelong guide to health, centered on nutrition, movement, and self-responsibility. Nutrition is seen holistically, as the balance between what we eat and how well we digest it: Nutrition = Food × Digestive Performance.
The digestive system plays a vital role in overall health. Our energy and
quality of life depend on how well our intestines function. Optimal
digestion ensures that every cell receives the best nutrients. When
digestion is impaired, toxins are produced in the intestines, reabsorbed
into the body, and can lead to the onset of many modern diseases –
many of which are linked to intestinal issues.
Modern Mayr experts create individualized programs focused on
metabolism and digestion, following a three-step process:
Holistic Diagnosis
A thorough assessment of your health, identifying imbalances in digestion, metabolism, and overall wellness. This forms the foundation of a personalized treatment plan.
Detoxification
The body undergoes a cleansing process designed to eliminate toxins, reduce acidity, and relieve digestive strain. This step is essential for restoring balance and improving gut health.
Regeneration
After detoxification, the Focus shifts to rebuilding and strengthening the
body, enhancing vitality, and promoting long-term health through tailored
nutritional and lifestyle interventions.
