Buff Medical Resort proudly holds MayrPrevent® certification, a distinction awarded only to centres that uphold the highest standards of F.X. Mayr medicine. This independent accreditation validates Buff’s exceptional diagnostic quality, physician expertise, and holistic guest care, assuring each visitor that their wellness journey rests on an internationally recognised foundation.

Founder Hans-Jürg Buff created the resort as a refuge for the future of your health — where prevention replaces reaction, and vitality is sustained well into later years.

The philosophy rests on four integrated pillars: movement, conscious nutrition, metabolic balance, and restorative sleep. These are strengthened by mindful thinking, emotional stability, and purposeful action, resulting in a truly comprehensive model of integrative medicine.

Dr. Claas Hohmann, Medical Director, encapsulates it:

Often called the “second brain,” the gut plays a decisive role in immune strength, emotional balance, and metabolic vitality. Buff’s approach begins with this root system, using the F.X. Mayr method — a century-old therapeutic fasting concept refined through modern science.

From the first medical examination and detailed laboratory diagnostics to manual abdominal treatments and targeted dietary guidance, every step is personalized. Guests learn conscious eating techniques, restore digestive efficiency, and rebalance the gut microbiome.

The result is not only physical rejuvenation, but an emotional and mental reset, the kind that makes long-term health sustainable.

While gut health is the anchor, Buff’s programmes address the entire human system. Cardio-MRI screenings assess heart health with unmatched precision. Altitude climate rooms improve mitochondrial function, oxygen uptake, and sleep quality. Muscle diagnostics help maintain strength for mobility and independence.

This integration ensures that improvements in digestion ripple outward — enhancing cardiovascular resilience, metabolic flexibility, and neurological well-being.

In the Buff GourMed kitchen, therapeutic fasting meets haute cuisine. Ingredients are organic, seasonal, and often sourced from the Lake Constance region. Menus are built to be anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich, and microbiome-supportive, turning each meal into both medicine and pleasure.

Meals are enjoyed in serene dining spaces designed to encourage mindfulness, making eating an intentional, restorative ritual.

Buff combines state-of-the-art medical tools — such as 3D body scans, metabolic performance analysis, and continuous glucose monitoring — with centuries-old healing arts like Ayurveda and meditation.

This blend of clinical precision and human warmth is what Buff calls “medicine of humanity” — a practice that sees the guest as a whole person, not a set of symptoms.

• BuffMed Classic — 10–21 nights focused on gut and metabolic health
  

• BuffMed Advanced — adds comprehensive cardiac diagnostics
  

• BuffMed Cardio — intensive three-night heart health programme
  

• BuffMed Vitality, Sports, Relax — short stays for regeneration, performance, or balance

Each is designed for measurable results, sustained far beyond departure.

In shifting the conversation from how long we live to how well, Buff places gut health at the centre of health span — the years we remain vibrant, independent, and mentally clear. With 70–80% of immune cells located in the gut, optimising digestion is a proactive step toward longevity on your own terms.

From Büdingen Park’s flowering avenues to the restorative waters of Lake Constance, Buff Medical Resort offers a rare fusion of environment, expertise, and care.
