VIVAMAYR Maria Wörth.

Day one — VIVAMAYR diagnostic examination (~90 min with physician).

• Abdominal palpation — gut wall tone, motility, stagnation, spasm
• Applied kinesiology — muscle testing for organ reflex points and micronutrient deficiencies
• Posture analysis
• Tongue and eye diagnosis (naturopathic tradition)
• Bloodwork — metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory, nutritional markers

Daily clinical elements.

• Manual abdominal treatment — pre-breakfast hands-on technique on gut motility, liver drainage, lymphatic flow (more intensive than Lanserhof's equivalent)
• IV micronutrient therapy — daily, tailored to diagnostic findings (B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, trace elements); adjusted mid-week
• Therapeutic nutrition — all meals included; stage assigned on intake
• Spelt bread ritual — chewed very slowly with digestive enzymes to re-train chewing behaviour

Nutrition stages.

• Stage 1 — modified elimination, small portions, exaggerated chewing
• Stage 2 — semi-liquid Mayr food, alkaline-forming gruel and soups
• Stage 3 — therapeutic fasting, alkaline broths and herbal teas

Optional add-ons (priced separately).

• Neural therapy — procaine injections into ganglia and scar tissue (a VIVAMAYR specialty)
• Osteopathy, lymph drainage massage, craniosacral therapy
• Ozone therapy, NAD⁺ infusions, glutathione (IV add-ons)

Take-home protocol.

• 12-week post-programme dietary plan
• Prescribed VIVAMAYR-branded supplements aligned with the IV protocol
• Movement recommendations
• 3-month follow-up telemedicine consultation

Summary & comparison to The Long Week. VIVAMAYR and The Long Hotel are the most directly structurally analogous pair in the competitive set — both gut-and-metabolism-first clinic programmes inside a relaxed hotel on water, with a doctor-assigned physician, daily clinical treatment, included therapeutic meals, and a take-home protocol. The philosophical difference is fundamental: VIVAMAYR is rooted in a European fasting-and-restriction tradition (Mayr Cure); The Long Hotel is rooted in an Indian abundance-and-restoration tradition (Ayurveda). Our food is positive, flavourful, deliberately enjoyable; VIVAMAYR's is intentionally bland. Our £4,995 all-in is approximately 20% lower than VIVAMAYR's entry point at ~£6,000. For a UK guest, Jersey is a one-hour flight versus three hours to Carinthia.

Inspiration for The Long Hotel. Three VIVAMAYR elements worth borrowing. First, the 90-minute physician intake using multiple diagnostic modalities — combining conventional bloodwork with abdominal palpation, kinesiology, and naturopathic observation produces a richer picture than blood markers alone. Our Ayurvedic intake with Dr Kerur already does this conceptually (Prakriti assessment, Nadi pulse reading, tongue diagnosis); we should make the multi-modal nature explicit in the marketing because it's a genuine differentiator from the bloodwork-only competitors. Second, the 12-week post-programme plan with 3-month telemedicine follow-up — turning a stay into a relationship dramatically lifts return-booking rates. We should formalise a 3-month video follow-up with Dr Kerur as a standard inclusion in The Long Week and The Long View. Third, the branded supplement range aligned with the clinical protocol — VIVAMAYR's supplements are a high-margin, recurring-revenue extension of the stay. We should consider a small Long Hotel supplement line (or a co-branded partnership with an existing reputable manufacturer) as the take-home equivalent.
