The Water Fasting Program 1 Week
With Dr. Ryan Ferchoff
Package Dates
The Water Fasting Program at Sedona Wellness Retreat provides a structured residential environment for guests participating in a water fasting program as part of an individualized wellness plan. The experience combines fasting with personalized guidance, medical management, basic daily monitoring, rest, education, and recovery in the peaceful red rock setting of Sedona, Arizona.
Before and throughout the program, guests receive an initial wellness assessment and consultation, daily follow-ups, and ongoing support from naturopathic doctors and medical support staff. Standard laboratory testing may be ordered and reviewed when appropriate, and the program concludes with an exit interview and one follow-up consultation after departure.
Because fasting is the central focus, guests are encouraged to slow down and allow their bodies time to rest and recover. Fresh organic juices are available throughout the retreat, and fasting protocols are determined according to the individual’s program and supervision. When the fasting period ends, food is gradually reintroduced according to guidance from the supervising doctor. Depending on the individual and duration of the fast, the transition may progress from juice to raw foods, then raw and steamed foods, followed by raw foods, steamed foods, and grains.
The retreat also provides opportunities for meditation, relaxation, yoga, daily art therapy, infrared sauna sessions, and fitness-center access. Educational demonstrations can help guests learn practical skills related to juicing, meal preparation, sauces, cleansing practices, and continuing dietary practices after the retreat.
The program includes private Standard Bedroom accommodation with a private bathroom, daily housekeeping, bedding and towels, selected toiletries, and a hair dryer. Guests receive the individualized structure and support of a small residential wellness retreat while having time to step away from everyday responsibilities and focus on their personal wellness goals.
