Das Gutshaus Stellshagen liegt im Klützer Winkel in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern nahe der Ostseeküste und verbindet nachhaltigen Tourismus mit Gesundheitsförderung und Naturverbundenheit. Die ruhige Umgebung mit Wiesen, Feldern und alten Baumalleen bietet ideale Voraussetzungen für Erholung, Lernen und persönliche Entwicklung.

Das Gutshaus schafft damit einen idealen Rahmen für Bildungsurlaube zu Gesundheit, Stressbewältigung, Resilienz und nachhaltigen Lebensweisen.

Dr. Buchinger’s detox method is a modified form of fasting in which solid food is avoided. The body is completely switched to fasting metabolism and draws its energy almost exclusively from stored reserves (fat and protein). Drinks include juices and broths (¼ liter each), as well as water and tea. All the body’s cells enter a protective state, deposits are broken down, and degenerated cells regress.

Detox 16:8 Intermittent Vegan Alkaline refers to a detox diet in which protein is almost completely eliminated. You eat only foods that are primarily metabolized as alkaline. In this vegan alkaline detox regimen, the body does not fully switch to fasting metabolism. Instead, the body undergoes a deacidification process that has a positive effect on well-being and health.

We follow the 16:8 intermittent fasting concept, which involves maintaining a fasting period of at least 16 hours. This triggers autophagy, the body’s own detoxification process. Autophagy (self-digestion) is currently the detox method with the strongest scientific evidence. The detoxification process takes place directly within the cells. We start the morning with tea, and starting at 11 a.m., we serve homemade alkaline porridge along with fruit and/or vegetables and salads. For dinner, a meal consisting of soup, vegetables, potatoes, dips, and/or alkaline bread is served at 6 p.m.

Simulated Fasting (Pseudo-Fasting Method): Simulated fasting means that for 5 days, the body receives a scientifically precise dietary composition that provides the highest possible amount of micro- and macronutrients without the body realizing it is being fed, since the corresponding metabolic signaling pathways remain deactivated. Therefore, despite having regular daily meals, the body remains in fasting metabolism (mimicked or simulated fasting). The daily calorie intake ranges from 800 to 1,150 kcal. We have further refined this method and incorporate intermittent fasting as well as spermidine-rich foods into our meal plan. This further stimulates autophagy (cellular cleansing).
