Nutritional counselling and putting it into practice on site
A new lifestyle during your stay.
At Buff Medical Resort we do not regard nutrition as an isolated measure. It becomes part of a stay in which diagnostics, medical interpretation, movement, recovery and culinary experience interlock.
Before your stay
You tell us your goals, your eating habits and any medical information you already have. In this way, the relevant questions can be prepared.
Understanding it medically
In a personal conversation, your state of health, your everyday life and your previous experience are brought together. Where needed, selected examinations complete this picture.
Experiencing it consciously
During your stay you experience how an individually tailored diet can feel and taste in practice. Feedback on satiety, tolerance and wellbeing can be taken into account immediately.
Taking it with you for the long term
Before you depart, the most important insights are brought together. You receive guidance that also works outside the resort – without any requirement to eat perfectly every day.
Study: the same meal does not have the same effect in every person.
In the PREDICT-1 study, researchers examined the responses of 1,002 healthy adults to standardised meals. Although the participants received comparable foods, their glucose, insulin and blood lipid responses differed considerably in some cases.
The researchers then confirmed their findings in a further group of 100 people. Besides the composition of the meal, personal factors also played a role – among them the gut microbiome, the metabolism and the individual daily routine.
“It is a misconception to think that every person needs the same “optimal diet”. What works for one person does not necessarily work for everyone else. As a physician, it is therefore always fascinating to consider each guest individually, to get to know them and to find the right path.”
Dr. med. Claas Hohmann, Medical Director at Buff Medical Resort
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to fast during my stay?
No. Fasting is one possible option, but not a requirement. Whether a fasting phase or the nutrient-rich resort cuisine suits you better is decided on the basis of your goals and your state of health.
Do I receive a fixed nutrition plan?
The focus is on personal recommendations and comprehensible principles. Concrete examples can make implementation easier – but a rigid list for every day is rarely the most sustainable solution.
Are intolerances investigated?
If symptoms or other indications are present, possible connections can be interpreted medically. We aim to identify relevant triggers without excluding foods prematurely or without good reason.
Can I take part even without symptoms?
Yes. It is precisely without acute symptoms that there is an opportunity to look at eating habits at an early stage and to create a good foundation for long-term health and performance capacity.
Is this mainly about weight loss?
No. Body weight can be a topic, but it does not have to be. Energy supply, digestion, muscle health, recovery, metabolism and long-term prevention can be equally relevant.
Does the concept also work on business trips and when eating out?
That is exactly what the transfer into everyday life is intended to prepare you for. You receive guidance with which you can make good decisions outside fixed routines as well – without having to monitor every meal.

Our diet, and the way our body responds to that diet, can affect our health in a great variety of ways.
From migraine, high blood pressure, allergies, muscle weakness and skin blemishes through to diseases such as diabetes and cancer, the effects of nutrition are significantly involved.
So it is almost always worth taking a close look at the individual circumstances here.
