Culinary Nutritional Scientist & Innovation Chef 80-100%

CERENEO PREVENTION operates a Centre for Neuroprevention and Longevity.

We bridge the gap between state-of-the-art medical diagnostics and a healthy lifestyle. We stand for personalised preventive medicine and neurology at the highest level. We combine our many years of expertise in neurology, rehabilitation, and nutritional sciences with cutting-edge diagnostics and innovative technologies.

Our goal is to counteract neurological diseases at an early stage by promoting long-term health, especially brain health.

Our location in Vitznau is a unique ecosystem for health. On Lake Lucerne at the foot of the Rigi, we offer our guests prevention programmes tailored to their personal needs. With these, we support them in learning healthy habits in the areas of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and recovery that can be enjoyed and sustainably integrated into everyday life. After their stay, we accompany our guests in implementing these at home.

In doing so, we redefine primary and secondary prevention in the field of neurology and offer longevity with a focus on the brain.
