​1. Get to Know Your Body With Our Metabolic Health Screening
One of our first touch points over the weekend will be to get a clear picture of your current health. During a quick and simple health screening, we will test your cholesterol profile and blood sugar levels. We will also check for insulin resistance using an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), which will give us a "Kraft Curve" reading, named after the pioneering medical doctor and pathologist Dr. Joseph Kraft. 
​
Insulin is a hormone that serves many functions in our bodies, and one of its main jobs is to shepherd glucose into our cells to fuel them and maintain healthy blood glucose levels. When this important function is overburdened, the result can be a gradual progression into insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia (high levels of insulin) which lead to a negative impact on wellbeing.
​
Happily, with insights from your health screening, we can give you tailored information on how to make any needed corrections with delicious and nutritious foods, plus how to avoid the risks of insulin resistance in the future. At Taylormade, we use a first-of-its-kind, out-of-lab insulin measurement via a simple finger prick blood sample, so you'll get all of this helpful information whilst on the retreat.

2. Receive an Expert Consultation With Personalised Advice
Each of us has a unique relationship with our bodies that ensures a one-of-a-kind journey. This makes personalised guidance when it comes to maximising wellness invaluable. Getting to know our clients and providing bespoke health advice is at the core of our mission at Taylormade.
​
The Taylormade Wellness Immersion Weekend ensures that you'll be part of a small group, with only ten participants and two coaches/educators. We, Claire and Andy, share a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds, spanning functional movement, rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, food awareness and nutrition, Pilates, lifestyle risk management, and mindset change. This allows us to approach your unique health story from a holistic perspective, providing you with multiple tools for lasting and effective change.

3. Enjoy Educative and Accessible Fitness Classes, Ideal for Every Level
Another wonderful advantage of our small group sizes and veteran coaching credentials is that the exercise activities on your Taylormade Wellness Immersion Weekend will be accessible and adaptive with attentive guidance throughout.
​
You will learn how to use your own bodyweight and increase the intensity of the exercise without equipment, so you can easily continue the workouts at home. Claire's clinical Pilates class will provide awareness of how to improve posture and core control to minimise back pain, increase mobility, and improve your overall quality of life. Meanwhile, Andy’s strength class will give you the chance to practice and see how easy it can be to incorporate strength training in your daily routine. 
​

4. Experience Mindfulness Walks In the Devon Countryside
Many of us aspire to being more mindful in our everyday lives, but without guidance, it can be challenging to know where to begin. We make learning this rejuvenating skill a breeze as we step into the great outdoors, experiencing the beautiful coast and countryside in East Devon.
​
The Taylormade Wellness Immersion Weekend is located in the heart of an area of outstanding natural beauty. This provides an ideal setting for us to help you cultivate and flex your mindfulness muscles, partake in some cardiovascular fitness, and work up an appetite for an evening meal at a local restaurant. 
​

5. Enhance Your Food Awareness With Nutritional Education
If you've ever felt confused about the best foods to eat for optimal nutrition, this is your chance to gain a clear understanding and join a friendly, interactive conversation about all things foodie. Together, we will explore the science behind why certain foods can have a detrimental impact on metabolic health and discuss what is essential for us to maintain a nourished wellbeing in the long term.
​
Our goal is to take away the intimidation factor around nutrition and show you that eating healthily can be affordable, fun, tasty, and easy to do, both at home and on the go. You'll come away knowing that what you eat holds the power to support effective weight loss, sleep, mood, strength, and energy levels.
