“I believe this place is the loveliest in the world, and the most satisfactory. The scenery is beyond comparison beautiful… Sunday in heaven is noisy compared to this quietness,” Mark Twain wrote in a letter in the summer of 1897. The renowned American author was referring to the picturesque lakeside village of Weggis in Switzerland – the setting chosen by Chenot for its most advanced luxury wellness retreat yet.
Since opening its doors last year, the Chenot Palace Weggis has been offering guests unique preventative and regenerative treatments that draw on the latest technology available. Now, the global brand has unveiled the Chenot Molecular Lab for Optimal Living, with a cutting-edge new approach to health and wellness designed to tackle the first signs of aging.
At the state-of-the-art laboratory, a simple blood test is taken to carry out an exhaustive gene expression analysis examining the levels of particular genes associated with oxidative stress, hormonal imbalance, and the structural integrity of connective tissue and aging. In this way, the team is able to identify undesirable gene activity and work out the root cause of health issues years before they start to show.

After building this precise epigenetic profile, the laboratory’s resident experts are able to create a specially tailored treatment plan to target the potential onset of symptoms and slow the aging process.
“At Chenot, our focus is not on lifespan, but rather healthspan – the concept of remaining healthy for as long as possible as we age,” said Dr George Gaitenos, chief operating and scientific officer at Chenot.
“The Chenot Molecular Lab for Optimal Living was born from our desire to empower guests and make meaningful changes that secure their optimal health. Our epigenetic profile is the most precise barometer of our future health that reveals our genes’ activity and ultimately pinpoints to molecular targets for increasing life expectancy, avoiding disease and achieving optimal wellbeing.”
