For thousands of years, mankind has been on a never-ending quest to find ways to live longer and healthier lives. From the search for the “fountain of youth” to innovative senolithics; from alchemical recipes to contemporary diets, humans have tried different ways to extend their lifespan.
Unfortunately, our environment is full of stimulants that sabotage this natural healing process and load our system with more harmful substances. Of all the anti-aging strategies studied, restricted-calorie diets with the right ingredients have been found to be one of the most attractive and effective ways to extend life and improve health, reducing the risk of diabetes, Alzheimer's, dementia, autoimmune disorders, spontaneous tumors and cardiovascular risks.
How Does Your Body Regenerate?
Vitalica Wellness' goal with the Interval Autophagic Program is to activate the body's self-healing power against the vital health problems mentioned above. Therapeutic interval fasting is a gradual transition from a 1100 kcal diet to a 250 kcal diet over a period of time, in which the body is fed entirely with fat reserves. As a result of the 10-day program, autophagy and detox enzymes are increased and cells and tissues are regenerated.

- Regenerative Program
Intensive Detox Program - 2 Days
Designed to give you a strong and great start, this program has been created by our expert doctors and nutritionists to eliminate inflammation and toxic build-up in the body. The program blends the cleansing and regeneration process of the 5 main organs (skin, lymph, lungs, liver and intestines) with cellular cleansing with superfoods, herbal nutritional supplements and wellness treatments. This phase aims to bring the body into balance physically, mentally and emotionally. Therefore, we offer workshops, sports activities, group meditation, breathing therapy and mindfulness sessions for the adoption of a healthier lifestyle.
Master Program - 2 Days
The master program is an ancient form of purification in which liquid fasting gives the digestive system a proper rest. This program is the most effective way to eliminate toxins from the body. The entire program is based on complete rest of the gastrointestinal tract and aims to relax the functions of the stomach, liver, pancreas and intestines. During this detoxification program, the body requires very little energy for digestion as there is no chewing involved. The nutritional plan of the Master Program consists of detox drinks, detox soups, herbal teas, alkaline water and various herbal supplements that allow all body toxins to reach your intestines. The body is then completely cleansed of toxins with the Angel Of Water - Intestinal Cleansing process, which will be performed with the approval of a doctor. At the end of the program, all tissues and systems, especially the digestive system, are renewed and revitalized.
Therapeutic Program - 3 Days
Autophagy, which means 'self-eating', comes from the word “Auto - Phagein”. It is our body's way of removing old or excess cells (fat cells) that do not serve a purpose or improve your health.
Autophagy in the lining of our intestines makes us less prone to intestinal inflammation and the development of leaky gut syndrome. When we have high levels of autophagy on a regular basis, our skin is more supple and less prone to eczema, acne and symptoms of aging. Our brain cells benefit from autophagy. Because it allows them to perform more clearly, accurately and quickly. This improves our mood, memory and mental function. It also reduces the chances of developing dementia and other neurological diseases.
Cellular stresses such as nutrient deprivation in tissues caused by various processes such as hunger, exercise and significant temperature change are the main drivers of autophagy. To activate autophagy, the insulin and mTOR (mammalian target of the Rapamycin protein complex) pathway in the body must be suppressed, and also the AMP-K (adenine mono-phosphokinase) pathway must be activated. mTOR pathway is linked to the control of the body's developing tissues.
Prolonged fasting is by far the most effective strategy for activating the body's autophagy systems. You reach an elevated level of autophagy when your glucose-ketone index (GKI) is approximately 1:1, i.e. on day 3 of the Therapeutic Program.
GKI (Glucose Ketone Index) is a ratio used by researchers. A good marker of nutritional ketosis for GKI is between 1:1 and 4:1. If you are in this range, your body is in nutritional ketosis. So your body is either learning to use ketones for energy, or it has gotten used to using them as its primary energy source.
Regenerative Program - 3 Days
The Interval Autophagic Program starts with a light intensity in the first days, followed by the Intensive Program and the Master Program, and then gradually moves to the rejuvenation program after three days of only special liquids and water. The success of the entire program is largely determined by the last three days, when guests gradually return to their normal eating habits. During this phase of the program, guests are offered a variety of all-natural supplements such as herbal teas, freshly cooked vegetable soups and purees, and freshly squeezed fruit juices.
During this phase, dormant stem cells are stimulated and new structures are created. This indicates a phase of regeneration and revitalization.
In order for this program to provide complete physical, mental and emotional healing, it must be applied for a minimum of 10 days.
As a result of the 10 days you will experience at Vitalica Wellness Bodrum, you can return home in a healthy way with your body completely cleansed of toxins and renewed. Of course, it will be our most important recommendation for you to repeat this twice a year.
