The foundation of our retreats is the analysis and evaluation of your DNA.
Approximately four weeks before your Chōju-Retreat begins, you will receive a saliva-based test kit at home. By the time you arrive, your results are already available. This comprehensive analysis package includes genetic insights related to healthy nutrition, weight control, and can also help you better understand your body’s detoxification ability, aging process, and stress resilience.

You will review the results with the Chōju expert team, and based on your DNA profile, we create a personalized weekly plan tailored to your needs.
The Chōju medical team is on-site throughout your stay, and you’ll have daily consultations or expert talks with our specialists.

This in-depth DNA analysis brings together the best of four scientific domains and offers you gene-based, personalized recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, effective weight management, and optimal support for your aging process and stress resilience.
Whether your goal is successful weight loss or simply healthier eating – our DNA test reveals how your genes influence your physical well-being, weight, aging, and stress tolerance. Based on that, we provide you with clear action plans and analyze over 900 foods to assess their suitability for your body.

A central element is the enjoyable Sirtfood nutrition. The gourmet team not only introduces you to the Chōju nutrition philosophy, but also provides valuable background knowledge and nutrition tips through cooking workshops and nutrition lectures. An individualized meal plan helps you integrate the new longevity-focused diet into your daily life.

Energy Cuisine is designed for the modern, health-conscious individual, aiming to enhance well-being by supplying the body with a wide variety of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements—supporting the health of the digestive system. Great care is taken in selecting regional, organic, and fresh products to preserve the highest possible nutrient content in every ingredient.

During your stay, you’ll enjoy a superfood-rich diet that’s high in fiber and vitamins, and low in carbohydrates—while still being delicious. All meals, snacks, water, coffee, and tea are included in the retreat price.

The Sirtfood diet focuses on foods that activate sirtuins—natural enzymes in the body that support fat burning, cellular protection, and longevity.

The goal: healthy weight loss, slower cellular aging, and a boosted metabolism—without counting calories, but through smart, targeted food choices.

INFUSION THERAPY – CELLULAR OPTIMIZATION
Intravenous micronutrient infusions offer a highly bioavailable method of delivering essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream.

At the retreat, we offer high-quality infusions under medical supervision that specifically target regeneration, immune strengthening, and cellular rejuvenation.
Unlike oral supplements, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants administered via infusion bypass the digestive system and go directly into the bloodstream. This allows for nearly complete absorption and immediately noticeable effects.

Infusion therapy is widely used in functional medicine for:
• Reducing oxidative stress
• Stabilizing mitochondrial function
• Supporting immune modulation
• Regeneration after periods of strain (e.g. jet lag, stress, detox)

Chōju Signature Infusions (medically supervised):
• NAD⁺ Longevity Blend:
Promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, DNA repair processes, and neuronal plasticity
• Alpha-lipoic acid + Glutathione:
An antioxidant synergy for cellular protection, detoxification, and neuroprotection

Depending on your individual goals, you will receive between 4 and 6 longevity and immune-boosting infusions per week. These are tailored to your therapy plan based on your test results. With these high-tech infusions, you gain energy and vitality, toxins are flushed out, and your body is replenished with power nutrients. Before your stay, the Chōju expert team will discuss your goals with you and customize your infusion plan accordingly.

Targeted micronutrient infusions support the body at the cellular level – for more energy, glowing skin, and a stronger immune system.
Ideal for fatigue or as a preventative vitality boost.

Power Boosters for a fast and healthy energy surge – without the caffeine crash. Our power boosters complement the retreat program in a sensually healthy way. They are adaptogenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory – and provide focus, balance, and vitality in the moment.

Benefits on multiple levels:
• Deep cellular nourishment
• Noticeable energy & focus
• Strengthened immune system
• Support for skin health & glow
• Assistance with detox & recovery

We work with a range of traditional and modern methods to identify energy blockages. Using bioenergetic diagnostics, we can detect imbalances in your energy field and resolve them through bioenergetic intervention and regulation. Our goal is to stop disease processes by correcting disruptions in energy flow. The body’s and mind’s self-healing capacities must be activated in order to mobilize essential energy reserves and release stress.

Every person is unique, which is why energetic treatment is tailored to the individual needs of each guest. The issues can vary widely—from headaches and respiratory problems to emotional conflicts.

Movement, and especially HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), are incredibly powerful tools—not just for fitness, but also for longevity, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

HIIT involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise alternated with active recovery phases. For example: 30 seconds sprinting, 30 seconds walking—repeated for 10–20 minutes.

• Maximum results in minimum time
• Boosts metabolism—also after training (afterburn effect)
• Increases mitochondrial density (more energy at the cellular level!)
• Improves cardiovascular health
• Promotes fat burning and muscle building at the same time

HIIT & Longevity:

• Studies show that short, intense impulses can slow down cellular aging
• Promotes hormonal balance (e.g. growth hormones)
• Activates autophagy – deep cellular renewal and detox
• Supports mental strength, resilience, and dopamine regulation

A healthy mind lives in a healthy body. Movement is a key element of our retreat, as it supports a strong cardiovascular system, muscle tone, and immune function. It also aids detoxification processes, thereby enhancing your overall cleansing results.
Our movement philosophy is based on coordination, because the neuromuscular system accompanies us throughout life—keeping both body and mind sharp.

Yoga and breath techniques are fundamental for longevity, stress resilience, and quality of life. They impact the body, mind, and nervous system—and are the perfect complement to HIIT and daily activity.

Yoga means "connection"—between body, mind, and soul. In the context of longevity, it supports:

• Mobility and stability into old age
• Nervous system regeneration
• Hormonal balance and metabolic optimization
• Focus, mindfulness, and inner calm

Breathwork – A Fountain of Youth Through Breathing

Breathing is the most direct way to regulate the nervous system—and it's completely free. Techniques such as:

• Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)
• Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing)
• Kapalabhati (energizing and detoxifying)
• Slow, conscious breathing (under 6 breaths per minute) act as a powerful reset for body and mind.

Our goal is to help you feel at home again in body, mind, and soul. That includes the right balance of movement, physiotherapy, and sport. We've assembled a world-class Chōju sport and lifestyle team that works with you through group therapies and one-on-one sessions tailored to your current condition and goals.

We use state-of-the-art technologies and innovative scientific methods. At Chōju, we constantly stay up to date with the latest medical research. The methods we apply allow for precise diagnostics and optimal therapy—always in pursuit of the very best for your health and well-being.

Cryotherapy is a potent tool to strengthen the body and mind, reduce inflammation, and extend lifespan.
Cryotherapy = controlled cold exposure for regeneration, performance enhancement, and slowing down the aging process.

At Chōju, daily cryotherapy is offered as a method of physical therapy. The short-term application of cold to the body blocks pain transmission and has anti-inflammatory effects. It can interrupt the “pain memory” that often becomes overactive in chronic pain conditions, supporting re-regulation and healing.
The positive effects of cold therapy are often noticeable after just one session. Most users report significant improvement within 14 days—benefits that can last up to six months. The performance-boosting effect of full-body cryotherapy is largely due to blood redistribution: when exposed to cold, blood is pushed from the skin to the body’s core, increasing circulation in the muscles. Cold suppresses inflammation throughout the body. Blood vessels constrict, the skin receives less circulation, and pain perception is reduced. Cold also influences the skeletal muscles, improving muscle circulation and metabolism.

• Rheumatism
• Osteoarthritis
• Sports injuries and nerve inflammations
• Chronic pain syndromes
• Psoriasis and neurodermatitis
• Burnout syndrome, depression, sleep disorders
• Age- or stress-related immune dysfunction

Joy of life & lightness are the essence of a fulfilling life… and honestly? Even the healthiest lifestyle is useless without them. They are like the ray of sunshine in the longevity formula – not measurable in numbers, but absolutely tangible in the heart.

One of our goals at Chōju is joy of life – which is why this goal also plays a crucial role in our Chōju-Retreats. That’s why we’ve put together a cultural and evening program for you, offering, for example, fireside talks, cabaret, creative workshops, concerts, and much more. Renowned artists, inspiring minds, and experts in their fields will be on site with you, presenting a program of the highest caliber.
