THE AYURVEDA METHOD THE TREATMENT FOR BALANCING MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT
A
yurveda is a Sanskrit term that derives from the word ayus, “life”, and ved, “knowledge”, signifying understanding of life, an antique system of Indian healing practiced for over 5,000 years. This belief system has the goal of preventing sicknesses, healing imbalances, and prolonging lifespan by means of treatment of the body, mind, and spirit. According to the Ayurveda theory, everything is tied to a universe comprised of five elements (the panchamahabhuta): heavens, air, fire, water, and earth. The human body is made up of these elements combined with three bioenergies (the tridosha) Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, of which one is always dominant.

In the Ayurvedic doctrine, the diagnosis of the pulse is the main means by which the physiological history of the person is read. Through the pulse, in fact, one is able to perceive with ease the rhythm of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Therefore, to know one’s body better, a consultation with an Ayurveda specialist is fundamental for determining the balance and imbalance within the body, providing recommendations on herbs, diets, lifestyle, and purification programs, as well as breathing techniques and directions for Asana Yoga. The Ayurvedic approach and therapies differ from person to person, according to the imbalances and the positions in specific parts of the body.
his exclusive program combines The Ranch’s award-winning, results-oriented fitness program with the services and expertise of our esteemed medical team at Palazzo Fiuggi. Limited to 25 guests each week, this 7-night, 8-day experience features a daily schedule that mirrors The Ranch Malibu’s signature no-options program. Each day includes a four-hour morning mountain hike, nap time, afternoon strength and core training classes, yoga and daily massage complemented by a plant-based, nutrient dense diet. The hikes are meant to be done for time rather than distance, with a varied trail each day. The result is an immersive and transformative program that gives guests a more complete picture of their overall health and longevity. You’ll leave with a greater sense of self, feeling rested and rejuvenated, while having lost weight and gaining muscle.
SPECIALIST TIPS THE ADVICE OF DR. LORENZO DE STEFANO, SPECIALIZED IN AESTHETIC MEDICINE

ith the advent of the warm season, it is fundamental to not neglect protecting your skin from UV rays. My first suggestion to you, the simplest but also one of the most effective, is the use of sunscreen. But there are also other practices for adequately preparing yourself for the arrival of summer, among which is to remain hydrated, every day. Consider that, daily, it is necessary to consume at least 2.5 liters of water. Therefore, it’s very important to consume foods rich with water, such as green leafy vegetables and red fruits, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pomegranates: sources of polyphenol, antioxidants, and radical scavengers. Also not to be underestimated are the precious vitamins contained in fruit and colorful vegetables, like apricots, kiwis and carrots: rich of carotenoids, vitamins A, C, and E, and coenzymes for pro-metabolic processes. Furthermore, to guarantee the wellbeing of our bodies, avoiding potential and unpleasant sunburns, it is necessary to consume an adequate intake of protein, to sustain optimal production of collagen and elastin.
FIUGGI, VILLE D’EAUX THE SYNERGY BETWEEN PALAZZO FIUGGI AND ITS WATERS
F
rom the Latin word fluvius, meaning spring: Fiuggi is born from water. And, as in a continuous and millennial cycle, the springs of the city gift health and prosperity to the entire community, which pays homage in return by preserving its quality and purity every day. To testify to this, in Fiuggi, the use of pesticides is prohibited. Factories are only built and operate at a distance to preserve the over 80 varieties of native ferns and plants that enable an unparalleled air purification process in the area. This is the history of Fiuggi, the most exclusive health valley in Italy. Tied inextricably to its territory, among healing springs and biodynamic products, Palazzo Fiuggi offers its guests all the privileges and benefits of its natural oasis of relaxation and health, that restores the body, mind, and soul.

NEW FRONTIERS IN REGENERATIVE MEDICINE WORDS FROM PROF. DAVID DELLA MORTE CANOSCI, SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF PALAZZO FIUGGI
O
ur principal mission at Palazzo Fiuggi is to design and create our protocols to always be in line with the new strategies and trends of regenerative medicine. After decades of research, the American National Institute of Health (NIH) just published “The Hallmarks of Aging”. These 9 distinctive hallmarks are: genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication.
This global view of the nine candidate hallmarks of regenerative medicine allowed us to develop the holistic approach to our unique method. Through microbiome analysis, for instance, we develop psychobiotics, based on the scientific evidence of probiotics that, when reintegrated, might confer a mental health benefit by affecting microbiota of the host organism. This is the new era of regenerative medicine: integrating ancient and novel knowledge with the use of new technologies and with our perfectly aligned practices here at Palazzo Fiuggi.
By intervening at these pivotal occasions, it is possible to revert aging and to increase lifespan. This is exactly our goal at Palazzo Fiuggi, where, by using genetic and epigenetic diagnosis along with inflammation and oxidative stress evaluation, we integrate a food line designed by 3-star Michelin chef Heinz Beck, expert in natural bio-energies, with innovative practices of physical activity. The presence of Fiuggi water, thalassotherapy, ozone therapy and tailored vitamins and micronutrients supplementation then act as strong senolytics.
