From slowing down the body clock to chasing the Moon’s phases and restoring gut health, these new health treatments are worth packing your bags for.
THE GUT MAKEOVER
‘You are what you eat,’ is an age-old maxim. And now it’s been scientifically proven that a whole lot of health issues can be prevented by paying a little attention to the gut. Check out these retreats that are putting the focus back on the ‘second brain’ of the human body.
CUGO GRAN, Spain
At Cugo Gran in Menorca, the gut’s microbiota (1.5 kg of bacteria) is at the heart of affairs. The brainchild of travel editor-turned-nutritional therapist Jeannette Hyde, the retreat offers treatments aimed at healing the gut with a strict diet plan. A typical five-night retreat includes gut-restoring meals, spa treatments, sport performance-based Pilates, and consultations with Hyde. This means no caffeine, no alcohol, no gluten or dairy products, eating gut-friendly meals with gaps of five hours in between, and consuming 30 varieties of fruits and herbs. The best part? Staying in a 19thcentury villa with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. cugogranmenorca.com
BODHIMAYA, UK
The Gut Repair Programme at Bodhimaya focusses on the four ‘R’s—Remove, Replace, Restore, and Repair—to improve gut health. At Bodhimaya, West Sussex, the treatment begins with identifying the factors that may have a negative impact on the digestive system, such as stress, allergens, and pathogens. Lab tests are then conducted to check on stomach acid and the digestive enzymes lacking in the gut. In the third stage, the gut is restored with good bacteria through fermented food, prebiotics, and probiotics. Finally, the treatment focusses on repairing the lining of the gut through good nutrition. bodhimaya.com
