Interview with Dr. Alexander Thaler
about the MAYRLIFE Day Clinic Vienna
Dr. Alexander Thaler is a renowned expert in the field of holistic medicine and medical director of the MAYRLIFE Day Clinic Vienna. As a specialist in general medicine, he combines in-depth knowledge of conventional medicine with years of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, F.X. Mayr medicine and spirito-psychosomatic medicine. His holistic approach integrates body, mind and soul to promote sustainable health and long-term well-being. At the MAYRLIFE Day Clinic Vienna, he focuses on 100% personalised therapies, modern Mayr medicine and individual care at the highest level.

Dr. Thaler, what makes the MAYRLIFE Day Clinic Vienna so special?
The MAYRLIFE Day Clinic Vienna combines the principles of modern F.X. Mayr medicine—focusing on detox, weight optimization, and stress reduction—with state-of-the-art clinical diagnostics and laboratory-based analysis. This unique combination enables a comprehensive, individually tailored treatment approach. Additionally, our central location in Vienna provides the great advantage of allowing patients to access all the therapeutic possibilities of a classic Mayr clinic without the need for extended travel.
Why was the concept of a day clinic developed, and who is it particularly suitable for?
The day clinic serves multiple important functions: It is ideal for preparing for a full Mayr cure, provides professional aftercare, offers individual therapies, and now also allows for a complete F.X. Mayr cure to be carried out on an outpatient basis. This concept is particularly suitable for individuals who want to experience the benefits of a Mayr cure but do not have the time or ability to stay at MAYRLIFE Altaussee for an extended period. The flexible design of the program makes it easy to integrate into daily (work) life—many of our Mayr doctors even undergo the cure themselves once a year while continuing their professional duties.
How personalized are the treatments at the day clinic, and what role does personal diagnostics play?
Personalized therapy is a core component of our concept. Each treatment is tailored to the specific needs of our patients and is based on extensive diagnostics, including laboratory tests and individual health assessments. The results of these examinations form the foundation for the customized City Detox Cure, which promotes sustainable regeneration and long-term health optimization.
What therapy options are available to patients, and which areas do you focus on the most?
At the MAYRLIFE Day Clinic Vienna, we offer a wide range of medical and therapeutic services, including:
- Medical examinations, including FRAS (Free Radical & Antioxidant Status) and mineral analysis
- Functional myodiagnostics for detecting food intolerances
- Medical manual abdominal treatments
- 3D body scan for in-depth body analysis
- Specialized massages tailored to the therapy program
- MAYRLIFE nutritional supplements and customized infusion therapies
- IHHT hypoxia training to support cellular regeneration
- Ozone therapy to enhance oxygen supply in the body
A key focus is on spirito-psychosomatic medicine, which integrates body, mind, and soul into the healing process. Our detoxification and regeneration programs help activate the body’s self-healing powers and contribute to holistic well-being.

How can a MAYRLIFE cure be integrated into daily life, and what are the advantages of the day clinic concept?
One of the great advantages of our day clinic is the flexibility and easy applicability of the Mayr cure. Because all treatments are tailored to the individual lifestyles of our patients, the cure can be seamlessly integrated into daily routines.
Close medical supervision, regular examinations, and an intensive therapy schedule ensure highly effective results. Additionally, patients benefit from the opportunity to connect with other participants—such as at our weekly Jour Fixe on Wednesdays, which provides a great space for motivation and mutual support.
How does the day clinic combine traditional methods like F. X. Mayr medicine with modern medical approaches?
We follow an integrative approach, blending the proven wisdom of F. X. Mayr medicine with the latest findings of modern medical science. Our diagnostics are based on high-precision clinical analysis methods, complemented by innovative approaches from functional medicine. This includes regenerative and longevity-focused therapies, cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, and highly personalized treatment strategies based on the latest scientific research.
What developments and innovations are planned for the future of the MAYRLIFE Day Clinic Vienna?
Our key future focus areas include several exciting developments:
- Healthy Aging & Longevity: Expanding our programs for healthy aging and prevention
- Microbiome research & therapy: Advancing gut health diagnostics and personalized treatment strategies
- Orthomolecular medicine: Further developing customized micronutrient concepts
- Cryotherapy: Exploring new applications of cold therapy for regeneration and performance enhancement
- Neuronal stress resilience: Introducing innovative methods to strengthen mental resilience
- Meditation & breath therapy: Expanding our offerings in mind-body medicine
Our mission is to provide our patients with the most advanced and effective treatment approaches—ensuring long-term health and a renewed sense of well-being.
