(1875 – 1965)

Born on November 28, 1875, in Gröbming, Austria, he was a true visionary in medicine. He had the foresight to understand that the gut is the very core of our immune system, essentially the “root system” of our body, and that proper nutrition and digestion form the foundation of our physical and mental well-being.

During World War I, while serving in a military hospital, Dr. F.X. Mayr made a groundbreaking discovery while treating wounded soldiers. He observed that those who practiced fasting and allowed their intestines to rest experienced remarkable benefits that extended throughout their entire bodies. What’s more, these soldiers showed accelerated healing compared to their peers.
