Detoxification: the foundation that creates Health

For more than five decades, Chenot has placed detoxification at the core of its philosophy. Detoxification is the foundation of renewal, the representing the driving force addressing the twelve hallmarks of aging as well as aging-related cell damage and dysfunction.

By clearing debris and dysfunctional cells, the body regains its ability to repair, regenerate and thrive. Every day, cells generate waste products as part of normal metabolism. In youth, this waste is efficiently recycled through autophagy—a housekeeping process that removes damaged proteins, faulty mitochondria and other toxic build-up. This ongoing cleanup keeps tissues strong, mitochondria efficient, the immune system sharp, and the brain clear.

Over time, however, this recycling becomes less effective. Damaged components accumulate, senescent cells build up, and mitochondrial efficiency declines. These changes not only drive physical ageing but also fuel inflammation, fatigue, cognitive decline and chronic disease. In this way, the failure of cellular detoxification becomes a root cause of both physical and mental deterioration.

Detoxification at Chenot goes far beyond diet. It is a systemic reset designed to optimise every layer of cellular and physiological function, including:

• Structured fasting & FMD — activating autophagy and renewal.
• Hydrotherapy and heat treatments — stimulating circulation, lymphatic drainage and toxin elimination. These treatments also induce the activation of heat shock proteins (HSPs), pivotal in mediating autophagy-related benefits and cellular protection.
• Bioenergetic therapies — harmonising the autonomic nervous system to restore equilibrium.
