REJUVENATION & well-being through HORMESIS
Here at the VIGORY Centre, we use the principles of hormesis to slow down ageing and enhance the well-being of our clients.
Our therapies improve cell function through mild stress stimuli, increase stress resistance, and thus promote overall health. The scientific basis for the effectiveness of hormetic therapies is supported by numerous studies that confirm the positive effects of mild stress stimuli on the human body.
Our Therapeutic Approaches
VIGORY Fitness
NAD⁺ production
Regular exercise increases the production of NAD⁺, which is important for energy production and cell repair.
Telomere extension
Physical activity helps to maintain and lengthen telomeres, the protective caps of chromosomes, which plays an important role in cellular ageing.
Activation of the AMPK signalling pathway
Exercise, as well as hypoxia-hyperoxia therapy, activates this signalling pathway, which promotes energy metabolism and fat burning, and improves the overall health of cells.
2. Antioxidant production
Oxidative stress
Our therapies promote the body's own production of antioxidants, which reduce oxidative stress and support cell health.
3. Heat Shock Proteins
Heat treatments
Infrared radiation increases body temperature and promotes the production of heat shock proteins, which repair damaged and misfolded proteins and protect cells.
4. Improving cellular stress resistance
Milder stress
By precisely applying mild stress, we strengthen the adaptability and resilience of cells against harmful influences.
5. Stress Reduction
Parasympathetic nervous system
Our treatments activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress hormones, and promote relaxation and regeneration.
6. Promoting autophagy
Cellular cleansing
Our therapies activate autophagy and promote natural cleaning processes within cells. Damaged and misfolded proteins, as well as other cellular components, are broken down and removed. This can minimise the risk of diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or cancer.
7. Mitochondrial health
Energy Production and Function
Our therapies, such as hypoxia-hyperoxia therapy and physical activities, promote the formation of new mitochondria and improve their function, leading to increased energy and vitality.
8. Detoxification via Far-Infrared Radiation
Through the application of far-infrared radiation or by using a far-infrared sauna, a profound detoxification of the body takes place, during which heavy metals are demonstrably eliminated.
