Detox & Vitality Retreat: A 7-Day Reset Near Toulouse

For whom this retreat is designed

This retreat is conceived for people engaged in intense professional lives — entrepreneurs, executives, leaders, creatives — who feel that willpower alone is no longer enough to compensate for what their body is asking for.

You don’t need to be in burnout to come. Many of our participants come preventively, to understand how the science of life can support their ambition rather than work against it.

Important note: this retreat is conducted in French. A working knowledge of French is required to fully benefit from the workshops, individual sessions, and group dynamics.
The three pillars

RESET — Interrupting the chronic tension signal. Through neuro-performance workshops and targeted breathing techniques, we help your nervous system shift from sympathetic (alert) to parasympathetic (regeneration) state. Result: an immediate drop in cortisol and the return of long-term strategic vision.

DETOX — Mitochondrial restoration through a cure of organic cold-pressed juices and physiological raw vegetable buffets. By freeing the energy usually allocated to digestion, your body can focus on deep cellular repair. Result: the disappearance of brain fog and a relaunch of metabolic energy.

VITALITY — Reactivating natural energy through daily morning hikes in the protected Bouconne Forest, designed to relaunch lymphatic circulation and saturate your brain with oxygen, without ever reaching the threshold of exhaustion. Result: a sense of inner strength and a body reconnected to its biological rhythms.

Personalized accompaniment

Before your arrival, you receive a detailed health questionnaire that allows us to adapt the program to your specific terrain and prepare your cure even before you arrive.

The day after your arrival, you have a private session with Charline or Mélanie to define your specific goals for the week and refine the adjustments to your protocol.

Throughout the stay, we remain in full immersion with the group. Both naturopaths are continuously available to answer your questions and provide real-time physiological or neuro-performance recommendations.

On day 6, a second individual session is dedicated to your personal assessment. You leave with a precise roadmap: a concrete action plan and tailored recommendations to anchor your new reflexes into daily life.

What makes this retreat singular

Many retreats offer “wellness” or “fasting.” We offer an engineering of the living. The program is built on the constant interaction between your nervous system and your metabolism. Each activity has a precise, explainable physiological function. No magical promises, no mystical discourse. A grounded protocol based on what neuroscience and functional naturopathy teach us today.

The strength of a certified pair

Charline Goutal-Guérin and Mélanie Villanova both hit the Wall of Performance themselves before retraining as naturopaths at ISUPNAT. They co-host The Human Hack podcast, now a reference for over 2 million listeners exploring the mechanisms of sustainable performance.

Their conviction: “Rest is not an interruption of performance. It is its sine qua non condition.”
