Premier Medically Supervised
Therapeutic Water Fasting Retreat

Under the guidance of world renowned fasting expert, Dr André (The Fast Doctor), Hoogland’s team has supported guests through the healing journey of fasting for almost 50 years.

Water-fasting for as little as 3 days can reset the immune system and dramatically improve metabolic health. Hoogland has supervised safe and effective fasts of up to 40 days at a time. Fasting is not compulsory, and stricter medical supervision is needed in some cases. Alternatives to fasting such as fast mimicking is also available.
