What is included in the medical retreat phase?

The retreat phase focuses on a physician-led evaluation and a tailored plan that may include metabolic assessment, personalized nutrition planning, exercise program design using on-site facilities, evaluation for GLP-1 therapy when appropriate, and additional tests such as a sleep study when clinically indicated.

Is this program suitable for patients on GLP-1 therapy?

Yes. The program can support patients already on GLP-1 treatment or those who require an expert clinical assessment to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate, while optimizing nutrition, training, and follow-up for tolerability and long-term adherence.

How does health coaching support long-term results?

Health coaching helps translate medical recommendations into sustainable habits by supporting adherence, planning routines, managing common obstacles (work, travel, social eating), and maintaining consistency over time to reduce relapse risk.

Can I continue the program remotely after returning home?

Yes. The pathway is designed to remain accessible after the on-site phase through remote follow-up and optional digital monitoring, making it suitable for patients living outside the region or internationally.

Who is the physician leading the program?

The program is coordinated by Dr. Marco Franceschin, MD, focusing on obesity and metabolic care with experience in medical therapy, GLP-1 management when indicated, and bariatric endoscopy and surgery within a multidisciplinary approach.
