Their main responsibilities will include overseeing internal and external operations at Chenot Palace Weggis’ medical spa.

“With their support, I will now be able to devote more of my time to lead our research and development activities, continually exploring and applying the science behind the Chenot Method,” said Gaitanos.

“These are two clinicians who share our fundamental beliefs and vision for the Health Wellness Method.

“They have both extensive experience and an inspirational approach to leading people and working with guests on their personal journeys.”

Supporting the innovation of the Chenot Method

New recruits Levine and Hummen will support Gaitanos ine volving the Chenot Method across the group.

Their appointments are intended to strengthen the group’s research capabilities and drive innovation of Chenot’s unique Health Wellness Method.

Collectively, they bring more than 45 years of holistic diagnostic and treatment experience to their roles.

Chenot’s Health Wellness Method is formed upon the belief that conventional medicine and hospital diagnostics only see part of the picture.

Chenot combines Chinese medicine with the latest diagnostics, treatments and technologies to form a holistic view of the whole body as a system.

‘Successful ageing’ by Chenot

Built on the transformative method developed by founder, Henri Chenot, in the 1970s, Chenot has retreats in Switzerland, Azerbaijan, Montenegro and Morocco.

Chenot was one of the first to talk about ‘successful ageing’, believing the answer to a long and healthy life lies in the correct combination of genetics, lifestyle and environment.

Opened in 2020, the 5,000sqm spa at Chenot Palace Weggis is an integrated medical retreat. It offers a range of advanced medical screenings and bespoke treatments.

Facilities include a world class metabolic and sports laboratory, a whole body cryochamber at -110C, an altitude chamber, and a 21m indoor swimming pool.
