FOUNDED IN 1990, LIVING VALLEY HEALTH<br />
RETREAT IN THE NOOSA HINTERLAND<br />
HAS LONG BEEN A FAVOURITE OF ALL<br />
THOSE WISHING TO OPTIMISE THEIR<br />
HEALTH AND WELLBEING.<br />
Billed as the ‘ultimate health<br />
retreat’ on its website, Living<br />
Valley is a retreat in the true<br />
sense of the word. Set amongst 145<br />
acres of lush green hills, valleys and<br />
pristine countryside in the UNESCO<br />
listed Noosa Biosphere Reserve, it is<br />
only 30 minutes from Noosa itself,<br />
but a million miles from the hustle<br />
and bustle of daily life.<br />
There is a team of naturopaths,<br />
massage therapists, health educators,<br />
physical trainers, counsellors – not<br />
to mention the professional cooks<br />
and kitchen staff – all dedicated to<br />
making each guest’s stay tailor made<br />
to their particular requirements.<br />
Whether it’s to lose weight,<br />
strengthen their immune system,<br />
kick a bad habit or just reboot their<br />
lifestyle, Living Valley has it covered.<br />
The biggest surprise is that the<br />
food is not vegetarian – every meal<br />
includes meat and often it is lamb.<br />
The founder, Gary Martin, explained<br />
the Living Valley ketogenic diet<br />
program as being based on science<br />
and the latest research into the<br />
biochemistry and nutritional needs of<br />
the human body. Dinner is usually a<br />
bowl of bone broth which is packed<br />
with nutrients that can increase<br />
energy and motivation, help with<br />
more sound sleep, and also makes<br />
the skin look smoother, softer, and<br />
more supple.<br />
A seven day stay at Living Valley<br />
involves 2 – 3 days of liquid fasting<br />
where protein and vegetable shakes<br />
are consumed during the day, and a<br />
cup of bone broth at night.<br />
There is a fully-equipped gym with<br />
experienced trainers, a guided walk<br />
every morning, followed by either<br />
a stretch class or pilates mat class.<br />
During the day there are plenty of<br />
activities and each stay includes<br />
massages, colonics, facials and there<br />
are plenty of additional treatments<br />
to choose from. The steam room is<br />
recommended at least twice a day<br />
and the swimming pool is a popular<br />
meeting place for guests on all<br />
the different programs to discuss<br />
their experiences.<br />
Guests undergo the InBody body<br />
composition analysis at the beginning<br />
and end of their program to measure<br />
results along with a live blood test<br />
where a fi nger prick of blood is<br />
