WHAT ARE THE RĒSET PROGRAMS ABOUT?
The Rēset programs provide education and immersive experiences focussed on nervous system regulation to unwind the chronic stress state. The goal is to better understand how the brain and body work to create more coherence between them rather than resistance.
By getting out of the sympathetic nervous system state (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) and into the parasympathetic nervous system state (relaxation/digestion/healing), safety is created in the body, defence mechanisms drop and it is possible to work on reprogramming the neural connections that are no longer helpful.
Through various modalities, the programs address the physical, mental, emotional, nutritional and existential factors that activate the sympathetic nervous system and can lead to chronic activation of the stress response. It is important to address all factors, we found most programs only address one or two which is why we created the Rēset.
WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT REGULATING MY NERVOUS SYSTEM?
The nervous system is the connection between the mind and body. When it is dysregulated (due to previous life experiences), our sleep, hormones, digestion, cognitive function, reactivity, performance and more are affected. We can’t separate mind and body, in fact trying to separate the mind from the body and even separating each of the parts of the body from each other led to a lot of frustration with the current medical system and the impetus for starting this program.
Common symptoms of nervous system dysregulation include: insomnia, bloating, constipation, anxiety, depression, brain fog, muscle tension, hormonal imbalance, difficulty relaxing, feeling numb.
WHERE IS THIS PROGRAM?
We run programs in Sayuilta, Mexico and Portugal.
IS THE SCHEDULE FIXED?
Yes, we have a fixed schedule that is different for each guest. You will be provided with your schedule upon arrival. If you need to move individual therapy times, you are welcome to exchange sessions with other guests.
CAN I LEAVE THE CENTER?
Yes, you can. There is free time built into the schedule so that you can explore outside of the center and do additional activities (which we can help you to plan). We highly encourage guests to focus on the program rather than other activities. We include adventures off-site in the program. We do not provide transportation for solo activities off-site.
I AM OLDER/HAVE LOW MOBILITY CAN I DO THE PROGRAM?
Yes, we have had guests with ages ranging from 18 to 70. There are some stairs and uneven terrain on the property.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO THIS PROGRAM?
Our main demographic is burnout professionals.
I LIKE TO EAT MEAT. DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING FOR ME?
Yes, our menu was designed by a Functional Nutritionist to be balanced in protein, fat, carbs, vitamins and minerals, which includes animal protein. It is based on a Paleo style diet.
I AM VEGAN/VEGETARIAN/HAVE ALLERGIES OR INTOLERANCES, CAN THE MENU BE ADAPTED?
Our program isn’t ideally suited for vegans and vegetarians because we rule out a lot of inflammatory and gut-irritating foods which then makes a vegan or vegetarian diet too restrictive. We can’t create personalized meal plans for guests. All food is served buffet style so guests can pick and choose what they want.
WHY IS A GUT RĒSET IMPORTANT?
There is a direct connection between gut health and mental health. The gut and brain are connected via the vagus nerve so it is a two way street. High levels of stress can affect gut function and an impaired gut can affect brain function. We provide a three phase Gut Rēset to eliminate pathogenic bacteria and parasites, repair the gut lining and feed/repopulate with beneficial bacteria. Read more here.
DO YOU PROVIDE WIFI?
Yes, we have good wifi throughout the property. Please note that we are in the jungle so there can be outages but it is generally reliable and fast. We encourage everyone to disconnect as much as possible.
CAN I USE MY CELL PHONE ON THE RETREAT?
Yes, you can but we encourage guests to use their phones as little as possible to truly disconnect and immerse in the program.
CAN I WORK ON THE RETREAT?
Yes, you can but we encourage guests to work as little as possible to truly disconnect and immerse in the program.
IS THIS PROGRAM SUITABLE FOR ME?
Our programs focus on nervous system regulation which can be helpful for depression and anxiety. We can’t guarantee any particular outcome, we are not a medical nor mental health clinic. Past guests have found the program helpful for depression and anxiety, you can read reviews here: https://www.reprecisionhealth.com/reviews
I NEED TO SCHEDULE MEETINGS DURING THE PROGRAM, CAN I GET MY RETREAT SCHEDULE AHEAD OF TIME?
Yes, we can provide you with your schedule. We reconfirm all activities shortly before the retreat start date so there could be some changes to the line-up.
IS THE SCHEDULE FLEXIBLE?
Our schedule is fixed and it is a progressive program that produces the best results when completed fully. If you need to move individual therapy times, you are welcome to exchange sessions with other guests but all group activities are at fixed times.
CAN I ADD MORE OF A PARTICULAR MODALITY?
It is possible to add sessions from our wellness extras which you can see here: https://www.reprecisionhealth.com/wellness-extras
CAN I BRING MY DOG/PET?
Sadly, we can't allow outside dogs or pets on our retreats. We love animals and many of the staff bring their dogs to work with them - we even have one dog, Nutella, that lives onsite. So, you’ll have lots of access to animal love while you’re here.
DO YOU WORK WITH INSURANCE?
We do not work directly with insurance. Some guests have recouped partial cost of their retreat through their insurance provider. We can provide a receipt.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO CANCEL?
We have a no refund policy but if we have a waiting list and find someone interested in taking your place, we can exchange your retreat dates. For this reason, we highly encourage the purchase of trip protection.
