Where: TBD

Hidden in plain sight, but so often overlooked or misunderstood, is our gut health's connection to our skin health and overall well-being.

Did you know that some beneficial gut bacteria are responsible for serotonin production in the brain or that others help regulate our hormones? Or that the new crop of breakouts you are experiencing may have little to do with your skincare but rather, with the state of your fiber intake.  

The microbiomes of the body work as a finely-tuned symphony. If one is acting out, the others will misbehave as well. We need to understand our beneficial bacteria, have knowledge of which ones reside in our bodies, and how to leverage them for optimal health and beauty.

Editrix, a pioneer in microbiome skincare, understands this delicate balance and is taking a concierge-level approach to help others find their restorative path with our inaugural retreat: a 360-degree immersive microbiome reset focusing on shifting the gut-skin connection. We will take you on a journey to have your gut microbiome sequenced for precision therapy, serve chef-curated meals to alter the gut microbiome for health, provide Editrix skincare and education, experience reiki and lymphatic drainage facials, feel alive in unique movement classes and more. This will be the start to lifelong changes that will last beyond the retreat. Led by Editrix Founder Dahlia Devkota and globally acclaimed researcher on the gut microbiome, Dr. Suzanne Devkota, together they will guide you to microbiome restoration.

About The Retreat

Before Arriving At The Retreat

An advanced stool sample kit will be sent to your home by Dr. Devkota for collection (please note: this is not a generic microbiome home kit but one that she will use to sequence your unique gut microbiome in the lab). You will send it back to our labs before arriving. The goal of this is to understand which bacteria has chosen to take up residency in your body and how that is affecting the current state of your health. We will also send you an email questionnaire about your current skincare regimen/lifestyle.

 

Chef Halley Zelicoff

While At The Retreat

We will gather as an intimate group of approximately 10 guests. Our in-house chef will create a menu in collaboration with Dr. Devkota on microbiome-forward meals. All meals, snacks, and beverages will have the sole purpose of shifting the gut microbiome toward health. We will eat family-style while getting to know each other. All kitchens in each cottage will be fully stocked as it is not advised to eat anything outside of the program.

Our program will include morning outdoor workouts led by one of the most sought-after private instructors as well as evening stretching and meditation to close the day.

Dr. Suzanne Devkota will educate on the gut microbiome dispelling many commonly held beliefs on probiotics and gut health. A similar round table will be held with Dahlia Devkota on the skin microbiome.

Each participant will receive a two-month supply of the entire Editrix lineup including The Microneedles (retail value $1866) so that there is an opportunity to witness skin tighten, heal, and regenerate well after the retreat.

Each guest will have a detoxing lymphatic drainage facial massage with reiki energy healing. Upon request, Dahlia is also happy to go through your current skincare regimen and guide you on what products work well with Editrix and point out ones that may be working against you.

In between these science-led discussions, there will be free time to roam the expansive property, swim in our private waterfall and stream, take a nature hike, or simply practice “grounding.” We will end the retreat with a nature walk and a farewell afternoon lunch.

After The Retreat

At the close of the retreat, another stool sample test will be given to you and collected by our team. It will be analyzed by Dr. Devkota in her lab in Los Angeles. A one-on-one phone consultation will then be scheduled so she can go over the results of your testing and how the retreat shifted your bacteria positively. She can then prescribe targeted probiotics and dietary changes for you. 

*Please note: The only probiotics that will work in rehabbing the gut microbiome are the ones that contain bacteria missing from your genome. Taking probiotics of bacteria that are already in your system does nothing for you.
