7-Day Medically Supervised Healthy Weight Retreat in Montreux, Switzerland

Clinique La Prairie's Healthy Weight programme is designed around five things the clinic names as the roots of weight issues: genetic predisposition, nutrition habits, movement, mental wellbeing and physical wellbeing. Before any of that is addressed you go through a laboratory work-up that includes the clinic's own Advanced Gene Weight DNA test, glycan screening and ceramide screening — the latter two are proprietary and not available elsewhere. A microbiota DNA test is done as well, and the results feed a probiotic course discussed with a nutritionist in a follow-up consultation after you've gone home.

Movement is assessed rather than assumed. You take a Movement Index Assessment covering physical functionality, neuromuscular health and mobility, and the exercise physiologist builds your week from there: two circuit group trainings, two personal training sessions and an outdoor hike. There's a final movement wrap-up with recommendations at the end of the stay.

On the nutrition side you get a Nutrition Index Assessment, a session with a nutritionist, a private Healthy Weight workshop, and two "Unlocking Longevity" consultations that produce a personalised eating plan based on your medical results. Continuous glucose monitoring runs through the week, and the menus are built to be anti-inflammatory. The clinic supplies its own Daily Protect Complex, Daily Sleep & Relaxation treatment, and Swiss herbal infusions.

Mind and emotions are covered by a Wellbeing Index Assessment, a psychological consultation and a metabolism-boost and breathwork session. Beauty and wellbeing treatments include an aesthetic consultation, a 60-minute treatment chosen from your Wellbeing Index results, photobiomodulation, three high-tech body remodelling treatments, lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy and a cellulite-control massage.

The clinic is in Montreux, on Lake Geneva, and the stay includes full access to the fitness and wellness centres — swimming pool, sauna, steam room, vitality pool and a zero-gravity floating bed. Longer stays are possible: you can extend to a month, with training, nutrition and recovery periodised to keep progress steady. The programme can also be sequenced with the clinic's Revitalisation programme, either on the same trip or back to back, depending on your medical evaluation.
