What is the significance of personalized wellness programs?
So I'm joined today by Dr. Vishal Patel, who is the chief science and innovative officer at a place called, it's the most beautiful place I've ever been, Sensei. Sensei is basically, I want you to kind of walk us through it because I had a beautiful experience. It is a wellness facility that is beyond anything I've ever been to because of the care and the quality and just overall the programming. Let's talk about how would you describe what it is, and then let's get into your background and what your involvement is.
Oh, sure. To describe what it is, it's a wellness retreat, but even that doesn't do justice to the place and the experience. It was a vision that our co-founders, Larry Ellison and David Agus, had. It was the passing of a close friend, Steve Jobs, that really made them realize that the world needs... spaces where even the best and brightest can feel safe and get trusted, vetted advice about their health and wellness. And I think that's probably what you experienced at Lanai, that it feels like a place where you can let your guard down, where you can You, you can, you can feel safe. You can have space to wander and you have experts, which are really hidden gems that a lot of people don't expect, but we have brilliant, brilliant minds and hearts on Lanai that can guide our guests to greater wellbeing. It's, it's something special.
How does understanding body mechanics contribute to longevity?
It is something special. Yeah. So like I went to the one like on, in Lanai, in, in Hawaii and there's, how many locations do you guys have? Three now?
We are now three as of last week. Yeah, we just opened our first international location in Cabo with the Ritz Carlton Reserve in Mexico.
So, yeah, because the one I went to was with the Four Seasons. And let me just kind of like explain and break it down a bit, because I've been given what I do for my background, for my job, for whatever. I've been to like a plethora of different wellness facilities. I've tried every program, retreat. Number one, what I found to be very unique, it is very personalized. That's the first thing I would say. And the attention to detail with what you can have. I think I did the rest of relaxation program and Jim, I think his name was Jim, who really kind of like really did a lot of like intake on like my background, what I'm going through in life. And then the program is very personalized for me. You also have another program that I didn't do that's very much about data and metrics.
Yeah, we call it the Optimal Wellbeing Program.
What are some common wellness myths that need debunking?
the optimal wellbeing program. What I found though, with the one I was at, the one thing I found was interesting was, you know, a lot of these programs, the food is very precise, like the, you know, the caloric intake you're taking, they really kind of try to like, they try to really kind of, I guess, kind of like be involved in like your overall, like what you're taking in nutrition wise while you're there.
Yeah, we often describe it as like a prescription or a bootcamp or a regimen. I know I'm really familiar with, you know, maybe like the ranch in Malibu and places like that where it can feel a little, yeah, very restrictive. Yes, that's right.
