Enhancing Your Physical and Mental Well-Being

Many of the conditions that damage or shorten the lives of successful people and those from wealthy backgrounds are preventable if identified early enough. We aim to provide you with this crucial knowledge.

 

With our support you can then adjust your lifestyle and environment to reduce the risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory conditions, stroke and Alzheimer’s – the five most common causes of death in the western world according to the World Health Organisation.

 

 

What differentiates our service is the connection we make between your body and mind. The physical and the psychological go hand-in-hand and we know treating both successfully is the only way to achieve positive overall well-being.

 

That’s why we go far beyond standard health checks by including a rigorous assessment of your mental health, sleep quality and stress levels. Once we have completed our diagnostic procedures, we will provide a thorough overview of your health, including  recommendations for further treatments and lifestyle changes. 

What’s Included in the Programme?

Your week with us will be led by a dedicated team of doctors, psychologists and nutritionists, including Nobel Prize winners and global experts. Although our assessments are rigorous, they take place in beautiful surroundings designed to keep you as relaxed as possible throughout the process.

Shaping A Healthier Future

  • The aim of our comprehensive diagnostic process is to build a clear picture of your well-being. This will shape recommendations that are designed to improve the quality of your life and health. These include lifestyle changes, further treatment options and a personalised recipe book from our nutritionist. We can also support you to implement these changes and embed them in your life, to sustain their positive impact.
