The concept of reinvention is incredibly seductive. That wistful idea that the thunderbolt strikes and all of a sudden we metamorphosize into a different person who eschews all sugar and alcoholic vices, eats by the book, sleeps like clockwork and incorporates mindful movement into their everyday without fail. But it’s been proven time and again that there is no ‘get great quick’ scheme, nor an instantaneous lifestyle revamp that’s sustainable. As with any self-improvement – emotional or physical – it’s a case of dedication, consistency and putting in the work. It is in the incremental adjustments that the necessary course corrections are made on our long term health. After all, a hundred percent is made up of a hundred one percents.
That being said, the human body is a highly dynamic organism, responding and adapting to multiple factors all simultaneously impacting it. The dynamism of gene expression is fascinating and quick, making offsetting the lifestyles we lead, such an exciting field. Take exercise for instance, which is very much part of the epigenetic landscape as an extrinsic factor acting upon our gene expression. Evidence shows that with daily exercise, organ function improves following the very first session. Anecdotally, when we return from holiday looking well rested and feeling re-energised, that’s also epigenetic processing in action. So on a modest level, we can de-age in days.
There are science-backed health techniques that actively kickstart the body’s biological processes, putting us firmly on the path to improvement.
“Our evidence-based Chenot Method® resets your body at a cellular and molecular level, synchronising your biology and enabling you to live to your full health potential, for longer,” says Dr George Gaitanos, Chief Operating and Scientific Officer of Chenot. The Chenot Method® he refers to is widely regarded as the ultimate circuit breaker to negative lifestyle loops. One week, fully immersing yourself in concentrated holistic intervention, is enough to reprogramme the coordinates of your health trajectory to an altogether more positive destination. The Chenot Method® deploys the principle of hormesis whereby a series of intermittent bursts of specific stressors stimulate the body’s repair mechanisms, reinforcing the body’s resilience to future impact. “In essence, hormesis works like a vaccine, whereby a modulated dose of a stressor provokes a defensive, adaptive response within the body.”
These highly specific ‘stressor’ techniques include energetic massage, extreme hot and cold temperature exposure, polarised oxygen concentration and even anti-gravity sessions. Each modality puts the body under pressure to react, adapt and rebuild as it should in its optimum state. Alongside these techniques, The Chenot Method® also includes an exploration and analysis of the host of invisible agers that can be held internally within the body. Inflammation, oxidative stress and hormonal imbalances are all mitigating ageing factors that manage to go largely undetected in everyday life.
And when conducting a whole system reset, it would be remiss not to pay due attention to nutrition and crucially, how the body is fuelled. The Chenot Diet® is a cornerstone of the Chenot Method® that supports detoxification and triggers a metabolic and hormonal reset of the body. A meticulously designed plant-based, fast-mimicking diet (FMD), consisting of 850 calories across three meals per day, for seven consecutive days, the body receives the exact nutrients it needs to begin the reset. Eating in this manner enhances a biological process called autophagy whereby cellular breakdown initialises the body’s natural recycling and repair mechanisms to improve metabolic health, reduce inflammation and promote cellular renewal. Scientific research indicates that FMD’s can have a positive effect on weight management, reducing glucose levels, blood pressure and cholesterol as well as improving brain health.
Is it possible to change your life in seven days? Perhaps not. Modern life is full of stresses and strains on the body and mind and there are constant factors draining our energy and stealing our attention away from investing in our health. However, it is entirely probable that through devoting a week to the exploration of your existing health, undergoing intuitive practices to improve it, and mapping out a picture of how to reach your potential, there will be a significant enough mindset shift to continue the good work in a real world environment. Momentum is what builds motivation after all, and by starting with a reset that aligns your current state with your goals, the path to good health can be set.
From that one week, momentum can build and slowly but surely a long-term picture of better health emerges. With intention and focus, one week is all that’s needed for the foundation stone to be laid of an entire health transformation.
