The Kusnacht Practice, located on the shore of Lake Zurich, is widely regarded as the world’s most exclusive treatment centre. Its new Ladies Retreat is a programme designed specifically for women who want to address their physical and mental health in the company of close friends, in a private villa rather than a clinical setting. The programme is built around BIO-R — Biomolecular Restoration — a treatment protocol that focuses on recalibrating the body’s biochemistry through science-based interventions.
Clients arrive for extensive testing: blood analysis, bio-hacking assessments, biological age determination, stress profiling, microbiome and hormone level measurement. From these results, a personalised programme is constructed addressing whatever is most pressing — weight management, sleep restoration, cognitive sharpening, detoxification, longevity, anti-ageing. The recommended minimum stay is two weeks, though duration is adjusted to individual needs.
Treatments include a live-in chef preparing BIO-R meal plans, micronutrient infusions, IHHT, ozone therapy, cryotherapy, sauna longevity regimes, and skin treatments. Some sessions — yoga, meditation — can be conducted as a group, which is partly the point. Dr Antoinette Sarasin Gianduzzo, Director of Biomolecular Restoration, observes that women draw significant strength from time with female friends, and that certain challenges are better addressed in shared company than in isolation.
The Ladies Retreat formalises that insight into a treatment structure. Groups stay in private villas on the shores of Lake Zurich or in Geneva, with the highest standards of discretion maintained throughout.
