When the Spring season arrived in the Swiss landscape, I embarked on a transformative wellness experience. Because Spring is meant for rejuvenation, and that redefined my understanding of longevity and self-care. My destination: Clinique La Prairie in Montreux, a pioneering medical-wellness haven known globally for its revolutionary Revitalisation program—often considered the #1 longevity program in the world.
Some personalities who stayed at the Clinique.
Why Clinique La Prairie?
Founded in 1931, Clinique La Prairie has consistently led the field in longevity medicine, combining the latest in cellular therapy, preventative diagnostics, and holistic wellness. Set against the serene backdrop of Lake Geneva, the clinic offers a fully immersive, science-backed sanctuary where every detail—from treatments to meals—is curated to rejuvenate body and mind. I have already stayed at the clinic last year and tried the detox program, you can read about it here.
The Revitalisation Program: Science Meets Healing.
This year, I was able to try a different program: Revitalisation. It is a seven-day protocol centred around the clinic’s CLP Extract, a patented biological therapy designed to stimulate the immune system and support cellular regeneration. This program includes a full suite of medical tests, consultations, detox treatments, and wellness therapies tailored to each individual.
Clinique La Prairie’s blend of Swiss medical precision and luxurious, personalised care sets it apart. The program doesn’t just aim to make you feel better—it works at a cellular level to extend health span and improve long-term vitality.
The Revitalisation program is the clinic’s flagship offering, developed over 90 years ago and continually refined with the latest breakthroughs in cellular therapy, genetics, and integrative medicine. This seven-day program is designed to stimulate cell regeneration, boost immunity, combat ageing, and ultimately prolong both lifespan and healthspan.
Revitalisation is far more than just a supplement regimen. It’s a comprehensive experience combining advanced medical diagnostics, personalised consultations, nutritional guidance, detoxification protocols, and wellbeing treatments, all customised to each guest’s unique health profile.
The Experience: A Week of Renewal and an idea of a typical day.
My journey began with a full suite of medical assessments: blood analysis, oxidative stress testing, and even a DNA-based longevity risk evaluation. The attention to detail was impressive. Based on the results, a team of medical doctors, nutritionists, and therapists tailored a week-long protocol to suit my needs.
Each day unfolded with a thoughtful rhythm—massages, movement and regenerative treatments like cryotherapy, high-tech massages, and hyperbaric oxygen sessions. I was assigned a dedicated dietitian and had access to a state-of-the-art fitness centre, indoor pool, and spa. Let’s not forget the exquisite cuisine—anti-inflammatory, beautifully plated, and entirely aligned with longevity nutrition principles. Each meal was a spectacle of senses. Everything was beautifully served by the most wonderful team, who approached each guest with utmost care. Meals were delicious and we could see our 3-course menu each day during lunch. Breakfast was served as a buffet where we could choose healthy and delicious options. There was even a dietitian who could help choose the best products aligned with the program. A highlight was also special oxygenated water that was served before the meals.
An example of a typical day at Clinique La Prairie.
- 07:15 – Fasting blood test to monitor inflammation, nutrient levels, and metabolic markers
- 08:00 – Light anti-inflammatory breakfast at SEEDS restaurant
- 09:00 – 60-minute Signature Revitalising Massage, designed to improve circulation and reduce oxidative stress
- 10:00 – Guided respiratory training to enhance oxygenation and mental clarity
- 11:00 – Nutrition Index Assessment, analysing dietary patterns and gut health
- 12:15 – Balanced 3-course longevity lunch, tailored to my nutritional needs
- 15:45 – Tanita body composition analysis for cellular hydration, fat, and muscle mass
- 16:00 – Senaptec evaluation, assessing neurological coordination and cognitive agility.
- 16:30 – LPG Huber 360 session, targeting core strength, balance, and posture.
- 17:30 – Cryotherapy session to reduce inflammation and boost energy (note: no shower or lotion beforehand)
- 18:00 – Free Time
- 19:00 – 3-course dinner at the restaurant or in the room.
The day was expertly paced—structured, but never overwhelming. It offered a harmonious blend of clinical science, physical renewal, and introspective calm.
Eating for Longevity: CLP’s Anti-Inflammatory Food Philosophy
Nutrition is one of the central pillars of the Revitalisation experience. At Clinique La Prairie, the belief is clear: an anti-inflammatory diet is the most powerful tool to promote longevity.
Their nutritional philosophy, known as CLinique La Prairie Longevity, is rooted in reducing oxidative stress, improving gut microbiota, and supporting metabolic health. Meals are crafted in collaboration with nutritionists and world-class chefs, emphasising:
- A plant-rich diet: legumes, vegetables, fruits, spices, herbs, and healthy oils.
- Fermented and fibre-rich foods for gut balance.
- Plant-based proteins, with occasional servings of white fish or lean meat.
- Natural sugar alternatives.
Each meal is a delight for the senses, beautifully presented and nutritionally intelligent. Guests following detox, weight control, or longevity programs all receive personalised menus. Gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan options are seamlessly integrated.
Chef David Alessandria, who helms the SEEDS restaurant, brings a refined, imaginative touch to every plate. Whether it was a turmeric-infused quinoa bowl, lobster, or a silky cauliflower velouté with truffle oil, the cuisine proved that healthful eating can be an indulgent experience.
Final Reflections: A true reset on a longevity journey.
Clinique La Prairie’s Revitalisation program is more than a luxury retreat—it’s a science-backed investment in your future self. After a week of cellular therapy, cutting-edge diagnostics, deeply nourishing food, and holistic healing, I left Montreux feeling reset, realigned, and reenergized. I made changes in my daily life and the way I cook for the whole family. I am also still taking the CLP Holistic Health PURITY supplement to have a better effect on my body.
If you’re seeking a profound, life-enhancing experience that goes far beyond superficial wellness, Clinique La Prairie is where your longevity journey should begin. While the Revitalisation program is a significant investment, the returns in terms of energy, health insights, and long-term wellbeing are invaluable. My week at Clinique La Prairie was not just a retreat—it was a recalibration of my life’s pace, priorities, and potential.
If you’re serious about preventative health and want to embrace the future of longevity medicine, Clinique La Prairie’s Revitalisation program is the gold standard. It’s where cutting-edge science, personalised care, and luxurious comfort converge to offer a life-changing experience.
