Interview - Henrik Jeppesen at Park Igls Medical Spa Resort

Denmark's Henrik Jeppesen has travelled far. In fact, he is the youngest person to have visited every single country in the world. During his journeys, he explored a wide range of cultures, climates, cuisines, and accommodations, making him an expert not only in travel but also in the hospitality industry, having stayed in over 1,500 different hotels.

Henrik’s medical history includes significant challenges—he lives with chronic Lyme disease, for which no cure has been found yet. He arrived at Park Igls without great expectations but left intrigued by the lessons he learned from Modern Mayr Medicine, and inspired to live a fulfilling life despite his chronic illness. We sat down with him to discuss his experiences at Park Igls Medical Spa Resort.

Detoxing is always helpful for supporting my body and boosting my mental health—it contributes positively to my overall well-being.

1

It’s rare to find a place where the service, facilities, and food are consistently at such a high level. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food—it’s comparable to Michelin-recommended restaurants, in my opinion. In terms of nutritional principles, I haven’t found any property that does it quite as well like Park Igls!

2

The spa facilities exceeded my expectations, and the variety of delicious and healthy food was remarkable! I had anticipated feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the available facilities, treatments, and activities, but the excellent staff made everything feel relaxed. They gave me flexibility in my choices and took the time to engage in meaningful conversations, so it never felt stressful. I’d also like to highlight the exceptional cleanliness—it’s truly top-notch.

I didn’t expect any long-term improvement for my chronic Lyme disease, as long-term antibiotics and certain herbs have been the only effective treatments so far. However, detoxing is always helpful for supporting my body and boosting my mental health—it contributes positively to my overall well-being.

As you continue your travels, what dietary habits will you pay more attention to?

The Mayr cuisine was the highlight for me. The excellent quality, fresh and healthy ingredients, and variety, combined with the slow and mindful way of eating, left a lasting impression. Even though I was aware of these benefits before, experiencing it firsthand made me more conscious of them. Sitting there, enjoying the food, thoroughly chewing—it was a pleasure that made a big impact on me.

Which places and experiences in the surrounding area of Igls and Innsbruck fascinated you the most?

I visited Innsbruck, which I consider one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. I also made a few stops between Innsbruck and the German border, enjoying the stunning landscapes. The area around southern Germany, Austria, and South Tyrol is incredibly beautiful—a fantastic region to explore. Honestly, I could see myself living here someday.
