Frequently Asked Questions

What our guests want to know.

An alkaline diet with reduced salt and animal protein intake is demonstrably healthier. More fiber and bitter substances support digestion and strengthen the diversity of our gut microbiome.
Combined with calorie reduction, the detox program at Marienkron is designed to be practiced only for short periods – first noticeable effects can appear after just 1–2 days.

In the long term, a detox stay can lead to a sustainable change in diet and lifestyle with positive health effects.

A detox program can be seen as an impulse for a healthier lifestyle. For sustainable weight loss, however, an individually adapted diet and lifestyle are required.

At Marienkron, our nutritionists support you with practical and personalized recommendations.

Fasting is a medically guided and scientifically based calorie restriction that should only be carried out by healthy individuals or under medical supervision in the case of specific health conditions.

Healthy time-outs with mindful nutrition, restorative treatments, stress reduction, and more exercise are beneficial when practiced regularly.

Whether you choose longer stays twice a year or several shorter retreats depends on your personal lifestyle and preferences. The more time you dedicate to detox programs, the more sustainable the effects.

Yes, of course! However, in daily life it is often difficult to grant yourself the necessary time and rest. Individual detox days in between can certainly serve as a refreshing boost.

What is missing at home, however, is the sustainability and the pampering effect provided by Marienkron’s supporting treatments with our therapists. With detox nutrition, you do not enter the fasting metabolism and are therefore not subject to the restrictions or possible side effects and contraindications associated with fasting.

Lab results enable our nutritionists and physicians to respond to possible deficiencies or metabolic changes.

In particular, for fasting programs lab reports are an indispensable requirement. For detox programs, a lab report is at least a valuable basis for the medical history.
