What we offer
Building on our manifesto — healthy, mindful and content through everyday life — we measure carefully, interpret honestly and accompany you over time, instead of isolated treatments without a thread. What we offer is evidence-informed: we say what is established and what is still being researched. We replace promises with reliability.
Six principles explain the mechanics from your point of view — not what we believe, but how guidance unfolds with us.
An honest assessment of where you stand as the beginning.
Before we recommend anything, we look closely — with established methods and an honest reading. A picture that fits you.
Your personal Health Guide knows your rhythm.
Instead of changing contacts, one trusted person accompanies you over time — coordinating in the background and translating findings into daily life.
Re-measurement and adjustment rather than a one-off cure.
Health is not a one-off. We re-measure through the year and adjust — quiet continuity rather than activism.
Journeys: a prescribed result, not a single service.
When a theme calls for depth, time-bound journeys exist. Your doctor prescribes a result, not a list of treatments.
Reachable, not somewhere to travel to.
Water and recovery in the spa, movement, cuisine and community — on your doorstep, daily. This is what sets us apart from the retreat that fades after weeks.
The lake is part of everyday life.
The Zürisee is part of the practice — from a morning swim to a shared boat outing. Rooted, local, following your rhythm.
A place by the lake that comes to belong to you. Fellows have a hand in shaping it, and year by year it tells more of the people who come and go here.
Each moment leads a little way through the year by the lake. It begins with a line, and opens on request: «What happens here» and «Why it holds».
Arriving
Arriving happens twice here. Once, at depth, on your first day: a doctor who listens, and a look that seeks the whole picture. And then anew with every visit, at the threshold where everyday life stays outside.
Every visit begins with a small transition: the phone is put away, the shoes stay at the threshold, and inside the pace slows by a step. The first day goes deeper. It opens with an unhurried medical conversation, joined by a psychological one if you wish. Only then comes the measuring: body composition by DEXA scan, heart-rate variability, VO₂max and a cardiometabolic blood panel form your baseline. And you meet the person who will accompany you from now on: your Health Guide, with the Seamless Care app behind them.
We measure with established methods that allow robust statements — and interpret the results together, rather than leaving you alone with numbers.
Comprehensive blood/lab work and a basic internal-medicine assessment (heart, circulation, lungs); imaging such as ultrasound only where indicated, no whole-body imaging without cause.
For: early detection · monitoring over time · the basis of your path.
The reference for bone density and muscle/fat distribution — a reliable basis for training, nutrition and prevention.
For: muscle/bone health · body composition · monitoring over time.
How your metabolism responds to daily life, nutrition and movement, and cardiorespiratory fitness as a key marker of healthy years.
For: metabolism · endurance · training guidance · nutrition.
How well your nervous system shifts between effort and recovery.
For: stress/recovery · sleep · cardiovascular context.
Promising but not yet as reliable as established measurements (~2-year uncertainty); used with clear framing, never as a promise.
For: longitudinal view · motivation · context.
The World Health Organization describes health across four dimensions: the physical, the psychological, the social and the existential. On arrival, all of them come into view, held by one person who sees the whole. Your baseline remains the point of reference: whatever is recommended later starts from you, not from a standard. The threshold has its reason too: slowing down before you dive in means you take more away, from treatment and conversation alike.
Moving
Movement has its firm place here, in the Functional Space and outside along the shore. And what you build shows itself later, on the day the stairs feel lighter and a long day costs you less.
This image is AI-generated and shows the intended atmosphere — it differs from the future location, which is not yet final. The actual property remains confidential until the negotiations are concluded; we share impressions first with Founding Fellows and investors (see «Investors»). This much we can say: the lake — and the good — are very close.
Our team of trainers is currently taking shape (founding partners) — we will introduce them here once it is in place.
Your strength and endurance training runs software-guided on EGYM; the machines know your numbers and adjust to you. Pilates, yoga and mobility have their home in the Functional Space, and dance therapy brings a kind of movement that expresses more than performance. Whenever the weather allows, training moves outside, to the water.
VO₂max, strength and muscle mass are among the best-evidenced markers of healthy years of life; in our grading of evidence they stand as «validated». Your training builds on the numbers from your first day and is measured again across the year, so you can see what is moving.
Staying healthy
This is where the medicine of the house does its work, integrative and thought in years. Doctor and Health Guide know your numbers and your story, so accompaniment begins long before a finding appears. And it holds when something does slip out of balance.
Your doctor accompanies you through the year, joined where needed by a coach or psychologist, including for what keeps you awake at night and makes up the pressure. Mind-body medicine and naturopathic treatments belong to daily practice, alongside the house's regenerative therapies: sauna and red light, altitude training (IHHT), cold exposure and oxygen therapy (HBOT). Manual therapies such as physiotherapy, osteopathy and massage complement them.
We rely on evidence-informed regeneration — not a cure. We openly state what is well established and what is still being researched.
Best studied; supports recovery and skin regeneration.
A stimulus for adaptability, offered with sober framing.
Supports recovery and wellbeing.
Established for defined indications and part of the offering; any «rejuvenating» effect is early research and is not communicated as a promise.
Integrative medicine in the tradition of Gustav Dobos joins modern diagnostics with evidence-based naturopathy: it strengthens the body's own regulation and keeps medication to the minimum needed, so that vitality can find its way back, step by step. What we can substantiate, we grade honestly; the regenerative therapies named here stand, deliberately, as «promising». And because the programmes are evaluated continuously with university partners, it all remains open to scrutiny.
Resting
Rest needs a place and it needs time. Both are here: the water, the warmth of the sauna, and a year in which they become a habit.
First the reclaimed-wood sauna, then the step into the cold: the swimming pond, the Cold Plunge, or straight into the lake. The covered rest decks in the park belong to the day; Ayurveda, massage and classic rest therapy belong to the treatments of the house. And then the quiet of the green, which holds what rest rests on most deeply: sleep.
The alternation of warmth and cold brings regeneration back into your own rhythm; what counts is duration. Because the accompaniment stays with you the whole year, single good days become a practice whose effect lasts.
Savouring
The table shows how this place thinks. The ingredients come from farms in the region, the thinking behind them from nutritional medicine, and the evening belongs to pleasure.
The kitchen works biodynamically (Demeter among others) and takes its inspiration from the Blue Zones. Prescription Meals and Smart Performance Bowls translate your numbers into dishes, while the Guest-Chef series brings outside signatures to the lake. On shared outings to the region's farms, you take the soil all of this grows from into your own hands. Every dish carries its origin with it: vegetables from a farm in the region, from a farmer the kitchen knows by name.
Behind the pleasure stands a plan made jointly by kitchen and physicians: dishes that nourish down to the cellular level. The regenerative farming behind them strengthens the soils of the region, and you can taste where the food comes from. Here, pleasure and health coincide.
Belonging
This place lives in two circles. Outside, the open life: the market square and the lake a few minutes away on foot, in the middle of the neighbourhood. Inside, a small community that knows and supports one another.
The Village Square is the club's open side: market, encounter, the lake a few minutes away on foot; the neighbourhood belongs here. Inside, the circle grows smaller: the fire of the Fireside Library and conversations in the historic salons. The Fellowship Circles bring Fellows together in the same small round over months; miss two weeks and someone will ask where you have been. And everyone here carries a story; by the fire and at the table there is time to hear it.
For the WHO, loneliness counts among the great health risks of our time, and reliable relationships are among the strongest protective factors for a long, healthy life. In the world's Blue Zones, precisely this carries people through the decades: a community of manageable size, in which people know and support one another. Such a thing can hardly be built; it grows where the same people keep meeting over years. Here it is given rooms and time.
Experiencing
A year by the lake has its high points: evenings that are remembered, and departures still talked about weeks later.
The Sanctuary Sessions bring music and culture to the water; the Science Talks bring research into the house. Guest-Chef evenings and summer festivals set the high points of the calendar, and curated journeys take the community to places that suit the club.
Knowledge and culture belong to the practice of this place as movement and cooking do. What you experience in an evening carries on: as the next day's conversation, as a plan for the next time.
Accompanied · through every moment
One constant runs through every moment of this journey: your Health Guide. A person who knows your story and holds the many threads together.
Your Health Guide plans the year with you and holds everything together in the background, doctor and training, kitchen and appointments, like a mountain guide who knows the route and reads the weather. Behind it, the Seamless Care app and a digital twin of your health picture are at work, connected to the latest sensor technology. What you notice, above all, is that someone cares.
Continuity is the principle of this house: 365 days a year, across the years. A person who accompanies you, and technology that works in the background, never between one person and another. For this we work with leading technology partners, and universities accompany the programmes scientifically and evaluate them continuously.
Health plays out in three worlds: Body · Mind · Soul. The World Health Organization describes them across four dimensions: the physical, the psychological, the social and the existential. Body carries the physical, Mind the psychological. Soul carries two, the social and the existential, because what holds a life together is people and meaning.
Every moment by the lake has its place in this order. And everything begins with the same view: three worlds, four dimensions, one person.
How our path differs from retreat, members' club, clinic and apps is set out under «How we differ». How the offering becomes a path through the year is shown in the Journeys.
For people who understand health holistically and preventively, prefer space and calm to a crowded gym, and seek genuine community — connected by an attitude, not an account balance.
Comprehensive health has always had more than a physical and a psychological side — what gives a person meaning and footing belongs to it too. Leading health research increasingly recognises this inner dimension as part of holistic care. We understand it functionally and person-centred: not a question of creed, but whatever you personally understand by it. It is a voluntary offer.
Neither. A wellbeing & social club as an anchor for daily life — reachable every day, part of life rather than a pause from it.
We say what is established and what is still being researched. We deliberately avoid IV infusions, whole-body imaging without cause and «detox» promises.
A curated core experience is naturally included; medical depth and individual programmes are added as needed and on medical indication. The framework is set out under «What's Included».
Soft opening expected in the first quarter of 2028, very close to the western shore of the Zürisee. We will share the exact location once legally cleared — with our Founding Fellows first.
We will introduce our medical, therapeutic and culinary team once the partners are confirmed and able to appear publicly. We name them once they are confirmed.
