Under the motto "Healthcare like no other", the house on Lake Constance offers an exclusive, integrative medical prevention concept based on four pillars. Altitude climate, Cardio-MRI, F.X. Mayr medicine & gut health, gait and movement analysis & muscle health. Thus, a specially regulated altitude climate prevails in all rooms and suites: A technology simulates the atmosphere of high mountain locations at up to 4,000m above sea level, which increases the oxygen supply in the body and thus improves circulation, stimulates cell metabolism and promotes regeneration.
With the Cardio-MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) at the level of leading university hospitals, in the Buff Medical Resort one of the most advanced methods for examining the heart is used. The medical team consists of leading specialists from various disciplines such as cardiology, internal medicine and orthopedics. "Our vision is to create a place where people can experience holistic health - both physically and mentally," explains Dr. Claas Hohmann, the medical director of Buff Medical Resort.

All rooms of the Buff Medical Resort are equipped with a system that simulates high altitude climate.
The resort's holistic health concept uses the ancient healing knowledge of Ayurveda and combines traditional Indian healing arts with modern medical expertise to restore the balance of body, mind and soul. Experienced Ayurvedic doctors and therapists create a tailored treatment plan for guests - from revitalizing oil treatments such as Abhyanga and Shirodhara to deep cleansing herbal applications.
At Buff Medical Resort, guests can expect, among other things, a spacious wellness and spa area. Here, a wide variety of treatments are offered, from classic massages to hydrotherapy applications to fascia therapy. Highlight: The pool area with a 15-meter indoor pool and a 25-meter outdoor pool.

Yoga classes are also on the program at Mount Med Resort.
Healthy holidays in Austria's Wildschönau region. At the house's medical spa, the focus is on the innovative, evidence-based 'Mylife Changer' approach, developed over more than 10 years of research and practice by Papp & Papp in collaboration with doctors and experts in manual and nutritional therapy. At the heart of the methodology in Mount Med Resort is cellular health. The goal is to activate metabolism and cellular health, as well as to pause or reverse the biological clock for a long, healthy, and physically and mentally fit life.
"The origin of the methodology was the desire to enhance the general health and postoperative condition of breast cancer patients and to improve and shorten the healing process," explains Dr. Alexander Papp, a specialist in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery. "However, it has been shown that the system also delivers very good results in improving the overall condition of healthy people - especially in prevention - and that biological age is positively influenced."

An oasis of tranquility: The Fire Healing Room at the Mount Med Resort
The 'Mylife Changer' methodology is built on seven pillars, including anti-inflammatory nutrition, a metabolic program that combines the principles of intermittent fasting, calorie reduction, and fat metabolism, oxygen and vitamin infusions, minimally invasive skin and muscle tightening, and an exercise program.
The architectural concept of the house is based on the idea of creating a connection between old and new, bringing nature into the house, and creating a harmonious connection between the old and the new, between the inside and the outside: with an interior design that nourishes the soul.
