Useful Information
The Retreat is centered around Combe Grove’s Five Roots of Metabolic Health:
- Nutrition
- Movement
- Sleep
- Mindset
- Environment
Throughout your stay, these Five Roots are embraced by the healing potential of boundless nature, nutritious meals that follow Combe Grove’s Food Ethos and a variety of activities promoting movement, education, creativity, and positivity.
The challenge lies in maintaining lifestyle changes once you return home. This is why, what sets us apart from other health retreats is that you will receive one year of invaluable online support, accessed through your online portal. This support includes delicious seasonal recipes, and activities to keep your body moving and scheduled consultations with our Practice Team to discuss your progress and plan the next phases of your health journey.
To help you find balance within your Five Roots, you will be invited to enjoy a one-year membership of the Club with its state-of-the-art gym, a diverse array of classes, a selection of rejuvenating treatments and therapies and a menu featuring seasonal and sustainable options. Seize the opportunity to collect eggs from the chicken coop, harvest freshly grown produce and enjoy guided walks through the woodland of oaks and hazels.
The Food Addiction retreat integrates thorough medical evaluations and monitoring of essential health metrics with a diverse range of therapies and treatments aimed at improving our body’s relationships with food.
From the initial contact through to the completion of the program, our qualified nutritionists are present to discuss and advise on suitability and personalisation within the Food Addiction Programme.
Accuniq
The state-of-the-art Accuniq machine is a comprehensive body composition measurement device. It provides a detailed profile of skeletal mass, lean muscle mass, and fat mass. Our expert Coach House nutritionists utilise these measurements through one-on-one consultations to guide you toward achieving your body composition goals.
hbA1C and Cholesterol Blood checks
At the onset of the week-long retreat, each guest undergoes blood tests for various predispositions, ranging from Diabetes to critical aspects of heart health and performance. Our checks also monitor Cholesterol levels, offering crucial information actionable for how your relationship with food is affecting your health.
IR Health Check
Combe Grove’s GPs and registered Nurses are involved at every stage of your journey towards improved metabolic health and optimal wellness. All guests receive comprehensive health assessments that confidentially contribute to the personalised programs developed at Combe Grove. Our IR (Insulin Resistance) Health Check is crafted to evaluate key indicators of metabolic health.
Personal sessions
From weight loss to core strength, our team of expert medical professionals, dieticians, nutritionists and movement specialists will identify and develop bespoke approaches to assist physical and mental development towards achievable wellness goals.
During your week long stay, our in-house nutritionists and experienced chefs create seasonal menus that draw upon principles of metabolic health and food addiction to deliver deliciously nourishing meals throughout your time at Combe Grove. All dishes are prepared using produce grown on the Estate or sourced locally, ensuring that the freshest and most nutrient-dense food is served every mealtime. Expert nutritionists and dietitians guide you through workshops designed to enhance your understanding of food addiction, allowing you to create meaningful change through a deep appreciation of how the body processes and responds to the food we eat.
These menus are created using seasonal ingredients and therefore change regularly. View a sample menu here.
