Every meaningful journey begins with a challenge, and the story of Upgraders® is no different. Founded by Helen Marie Loorents, a healthcare professional with 27 years of global experience, Upgraders® emerged from her own personal battle with chronic health issues. After two decades in the high-stress environment of New York, Helen was suffering from insomnia, migraines, chronic fatigue, hair loss, and body pain. Conventional treatments offered little relief, leaving her searching for a natural, lasting solution.
Her quest for healing led her to a transformative experience at the Lanserhof health resort in the Austrian Alps, where she underwent a 10-day detox inspired by the renowned therapy of Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr. This ancient therapy, which focuses on gut health and toxin removal, opened Helen’s eyes to the profound impact that toxic buildup has on health, vitality, and beauty.
Guided by Dr. Henning Sartor, PhD, a leading microbiome and Mayr therapy expert, Helen discovered the healing power of detoxification and clean living. From this personal revelation, Upgraders® was born—a brand dedicated to bringing the science of detoxification and natural healing to the masses.
From Elite Wellness Clinics to Your Home
Upgraders® is built on the foundation that true wellness starts in the gut. Inspired by the exclusive wellness practices of European clinics like Mayr Life, VivaMayr, and Lanserhof—frequented by celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Rebel Wilson—Helen set out to create a program that would make these transformative methods accessible to everyone, right at home.
The result is the 21-Day Detox Program, developed in collaboration with Dr. Sartor. This program, grounded in science and ancient wisdom, is designed to remove toxins from the body, rejuvenate health, and address root causes of aging, weight gain, and chronic illness. Using a blend of potent Alpine supplements and the BALANCE lifestyle principles, the Upgraders® Method delivers a clinic-grade detox without the high cost or need for travel.
Empowering Health and Beauty Naturally
Upgraders® is not just about detoxing—it’s about empowerment. At its core, Upgraders® aims to help busy, health-conscious individuals take control of their well-being. Cash-rich, time-poor urbanites are looking for sustainable, effective solutions to their health and beauty challenges. Whether they’re battling stress, aging, or lifestyle-related health issues, the Upgraders® Method offers a natural, effective solution that fits into their demanding lives.
As Dr. Sartor puts it: “Only a body cleared of toxins can fully regenerate, allowing you to heal, lose weight, sleep better, and thrive.”
The Upgraders® Revolution
Today, Upgraders® is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare through clean living. With the launch of the 21-Day Detox Program in the UK, US, and DACH regions, and the release of the book The Toxin Factor, Upgraders® continues to build a global movement dedicated to making natural, science-backed healing accessible to all.
From Helen’s personal journey of healing to creating a powerful tool for others, the Upgraders® story is one of transformation, empowerment, and the belief that everyone deserves the chance to upgrade their health and beauty—naturally.
