Our pathways and treatments are inspired by Equilibrium, our health philosophy which considers the individual as a whole: their mind, body and relationships with the environment.

Our body is put through its paces every day. Over time the attacks it is subject to cause widespread tissue inflammation that is hard to notice. This asymptomatic inflammation is a silent and hidden danger to our health that can cause imbalances in the body and even illness. Incorrect diet and an unhealthy lifestyle only serve to increase the inflammation and reduce the body's ability to fight it.

This dietary programme leads to weight loss and health benefits. It reduces abdominal fat while maintaining lean body mass, boosts cell and tissue turnover, reduces inflammation, prevents metabolic and degenerative diseases and lengthens the healthy lifespan. It involves a period of 2 to 5 days of semi-fasting, which is repeated at different intervals depending on nutritional and health-related factors.

As well as fighting the symptoms of cellulite such as swelling and orange-peel skin, the programme is designed primarily to treat the main cause: silent tissue inflammation. We begin by analysing body water distribution and then create a nutrition plan based on the de-acidifying, anti-inflammatory microbiota diet. This is followed by a series of customised lymph-draining treatments to improve tissue oxygenation, alongside targeted physical activity. The effects are boosted by the oxygenating, anti-inflammatory powers of thermal water.

The method developed by Italian Hospitality Collection’s medical team stands out for its original multidisciplinary approach. It integrates innovative diagnostic techniques to draw up a personalised nutrition plan, anti-inflammatory thermal
treatments, physical therapy, exercise as well as physical/mental relaxation techniques.

The Equilibrium Programme is based on the exclusive and innovative microbiota diet. This
balanced form of nutrition is low in simple sugars and high in fibre, encouraging the formation and preservation of a balanced microbial community where different species of bacteria live in a mutually balanced system.

Thermal treatments are a decisive factor in the success of our method. These treatments have been proven to reduce the quantity and effects of free radicals and have powerful anti-inflammatory powers, as reflected in a significant reduction in inflammatory mediators.

Like nutrition, exercise is one of the most effective tools at our disposal to achieve and maintain an ideal balance. The fact that it reduces stress mediators and releases rebalancing, mood-enhancing endogens such as dopamine and serotonin makes physical exercise a vital component of well-being.

We teach guests how to rebalance their autonomic nervous system and block the inflammatory process through a series of gradual exercises based on breathing techniques. The aim is to manage stress and strengthen the emotions.
