BETTER AGEING
Welcome to the BodyScience clinic at BodyHoliday in Saint Lucia Allow me to introduce to you our idea of optimal health.
So how do you view your health? If you’re like me, you take responsibility for it. You understand that it is more than just the absence of infirmity or disease. It is the constant pursuit of an improved state of being that involves a balance between the physical, emotional and spiritual balance that makes up all of us.
Our health evolves throughout our lives and is as important in our youth as it is in our middle and advanced ages.
In today’s world we are educated and acutely made aware about what makes us well and particularly what damages and conflicts with our overall wellbeing. Modern health is about one person. You. Me. I.
I take responsibility for my health. I manage my life and my body. I ultimately am the only one who can do this.
It’s a lot for all of us in the frenetic fast-paced world of today. We’re surrounded by invasive stimuli, bad food, bad emotions, stress, pollution, noise, decisions. These all provoke an inflammatory response in our bodies.
What does that mean? It means that I need support. I need information that will practically and easily help me make the decisions that are going to have a major impact on my life in the long term. The key decisions that are going to effectively slow down my aging.
At BodyHoliday, we move from being your Doctor, to being your coach; your partner in a life of wellbeing and fulfillment. We aim to make you feel more vital and fulfilled than ever before. BodyScience moves from what is termed “Functional Medicine” into “Personal Medicine”. We’re only really interested in what is right for you.
Come and join us in making the world a better place to live in because we are better people at the heart of it.

The Infrared Sauna
Discover the Benefits of Infrared Therapy
More than just a relaxing treatment, Infrared therapy is a total invigorating experience. Its soothing heat goes beyond reducing tension and easing muscles to burn calories, boost circulation, purify the body, relieve pain and renew a healthy glow.
Weight Loss | Detoxification | Relaxation | Skin Purification | Pain Relief | Lowers Blood Pressure | Improves circulation
Infrared Therapy is prescribed as part of any BodyScience Programme. However, as a guest at BodyHoliday you are free to use this facility as many times as you wish.
The Programmes
Focussed on functional medicine, the aim of each programme is to fine-tune body and mind and bring balance and optimal health.
Individual treatment plans may prescribe a specialised diet, nutritional supplements, a tailored exercise routine, detoxification treatments or body treatments, meditation, and yoga – new approaches to living introduced during your stay and supported through follow-up after you leave.
It’s all part of a programme designed to ensure guests enjoy more than a rejuvenating holiday but a renewed sense of vitality and a return to wellness. Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership.
It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century.
