Jobs to be done

job 1When demand generation for Buchinger Wilhelmi Marbella is delegated entirely to an external PR agency with no in house SEO, paid or CRM reactivation, I want to build owned demand generation capability, so that growth does not depend solely on third party PR relationships.

job 2When guest app and stay data already exist but no alumni program or re-booking sequence converts them into repeat visits, I want to build a structured post-stay retention program, so that existing guest data turns into repeat bookings instead of sitting unused.

job 3When Casa La Mariposa opens in May 2026 as a new exclusive use villa with round the clock nursing and private medical consultations, I want to fill this new premium capacity with the right guests, so that the multi-year development investment converts into bookings rather than sitting under marketed. source

job 4When a compelling food as medicine story sits buried on the website rather than driving the brand narrative, I want the clinic's sustainability and nutrition philosophy told prominently, so that a genuine differentiator does not go unnoticed by prospective guests.

job 5When his LinkedIn presence sits near invisible at about 1,000 followers with no content despite a credible fourth generation medical fasting practice, I want to be recognized publicly as an authoritative voice in medical fasting and longevity, so that Buchinger Wilhelmi's credibility on paper matches its visibility in the market.

jtbd coverage noteNo register quotes exist for this subject; functional jobs rest on sales brief pain points and dossier facts (the Casa La Mariposa opening), and the social job rests on the brief's observation about his near-invisible personal brand. No line in the brief expresses a personal feeling, so the emotional type is omitted for lack of evidence.

Statements

Well, here you see my mother in the 80s who goes to all these conferences and she says, 'I see all these incredible things.' And then she gets the same reply always, 'Okay, but can you prove it?' Since then we've had collaboration with King's College, which is where Dr. Misnaj is from. We collaborated with ETH, with Charité, with Princeton, with the University of Milan.

And we have also now since um a couple of years our own research team. We have three fully dedicated scientists.

money signalLongevity Science and Precision Medicine2026-06-15source

So, and he we measured his biological age. He's actually 92. His biological age was 86. When we published that, all of a sudden we had a lot of 90-year-olds who wanted to come to the clinic.

That's an article which is submitted to nature metabolism where because we want to define fasting as a tool for mainstream medicine, we have put together data from several thousand patients where we describe what can be expected depending on different times of fasting, depending on the BMI of the patient, the age, the sex.

That's an article that we published was that we submitted just today actually to nature aging.

We are also collaborating with the clock father, so Steve Horvath who discovered epigenetic clocks which are integrators of health aging that you can use to to predict disease or resolution of this disease with biological aging.

We did the biggest fasting long-term fasting study in the world with 1,422 participants where we just proved that it's safe and efficacious.

Over the years, some of us at Buchinger Wilhelmi have chosen to fast occasionally for this reason. It is super effective !!!

Team, Hiring and Leadership2026-06-16source

And now we have going more and more into the personalization.

Longevity Science and Precision Medicine2026-06-15source

And then we did some other studies which you can read on which and some of which we will discuss right now.

Longevity Science and Precision Medicine2026-06-15source

But some of the people also always when you tell them, 'Okay, fasting.' This is like I I have by nature of what I do, I have this discussion a lot and a lot of people say, 'I could never do it and how should I even why should I even do it? I'm not overweight, you know.'

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

And um we have now this new kind of wave of longevity where people understand and we have all our lives which we just can't stress off which we just can't shut off the stressors of modern life.

Wellness Philosophy and Integration2026-06-15source

And so what we do is really clearing these things in one single potent intervention which Dr. Mercola will tell you how.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

So that we describe reference ranges about what can be expected and what can be expected also by our doctors so that they know that for instance, this is cholesterol day.

Longevity Science and Precision Medicine2026-06-15source

If you look at the change in LDL cholesterol during fasting, you can see that if you want some clinically meaningful effect, you should come for at least eight days of fasting.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

And eight days of fasting this sounds something terrible, but actually this is something which is not just tolerable, but also which can make you happy.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

In our study, we just asked people subjectively, how do you feel on a scale from 1 to 10? And it's a very counterintuitive every time we uh show the slide, but this is 100 1,422 people and you see that actually even after day 10, 15 perceived well-being. How do you feel today? Increased.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

And this is the thing that most people can't believe it until they've actually done it.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

We have a Nobel Prize and we're in the house of literature. One of our best clients was Mario Vargas Llosa and he did the best discourse on Buchinger that we've ever heard and he ended it with saying for those who know, they know fasting is a pleasure.

Guest Experience and Client Trust2026-06-15source

And then also the thing with longevity science is also how do you because the thing that you have to prove, you actually have to see that the person has to have, you know, in 10 years what happens in 20 years what and since we exist since 100 years, we actually have Mr. Klipto as a client, and he did 100 cures with us.

Longevity Science and Precision Medicine2026-06-15source

So, it was a bit more of a geriatric situation, but just to show you that it's safe and that this is really a rhythm.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

This is something for us that we believe that in a year with everything that accumulates, everybody should have this pause for your body in 1 year.

Wellness Philosophy and Integration2026-06-15source

So, we we recommend intermittent fasting, and once a year we also recommend long-term fasting.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

And like most clinics, we have our model of healthy longevity and just that fasting, when you eat, is one of our pillars.

Wellness Philosophy and Integration2026-06-15source

I think we might be a little bit of an outlier because what we've heard so far is um how we can use the AI to find out things. And for us it's almost a little bit the opposite. We've been in the market for 100 years and we kind of went the other way and now have uh science to help us find out the mechanism that we've seen in our day-to-day.

Founder Journey and Legacy2026-06-15source

We've really seen people who come to us since the time of my grandfather, they do an intervention that is 12 to 14 days and they just come out anew.

Founder Journey and Legacy2026-06-15source

we believe that we have the most potent non-pharmacological intervention.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-15source

We see ourselves as the biggest fasting laboratory in the world because we exist since 1920. We have 103 years of continuous medical practice and since we have two clinics and these two clinics, we did the calculation once, had half a million patients um pass through them.

Founder Journey and Legacy2026-06-15source

And in health, if something works for a long time, then usually uh it's seen as a good thing.

Wellness Philosophy and Integration2026-06-15source

But the question is what we get asked a lot is why does a mid-sized clinic have an own research department?

Longevity Science and Precision Medicine2026-06-15source

At Buchinger Wilhelmi, 60% of participants with prediabetes in the FastForward clinical trial returned to normal blood sugar levels three months after their fasting intervention.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-06-04source

For me, this paper represents much more than a successful clinical trial. It is a reminder that good science and human care can go hand in hand.

I had the opportunity to speak on France 2 TV channel about the potential effects of fasting on allergies.

Wellness Programs and Modalities2026-01-06source

This topic is close to my heart. I experience seasonal allergies myself, and many colleagues around me also do.
