Nestled in the peaceful setting of Nusa Dua, REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort is hosting an exclusive Ketogenic Retreat from 18th to 24th November 2018, as part of the new luxury wellness resort’s series of mind and body programs. The 7-day retreat will be led by Primal Health and Pilates specialist, Azza Keith, who will impart valuable insights on the benefits of a ketogenic diet paired with tailored exercise plans to help guests develop a sustainable healthy lifestyle.

REVĪVŌ, which means “I’ll live again”, embodies the philosophy of awakening the senses and the mind. The Ketogenic Retreat with Azza celebrates the joy of being alive with a diverse program that balances invigorating exercise — such as yoga, Pilates, swimming and walking — with information on ketogenic dieting. An experienced personal training instructor, Azza has a Masters in the Science of Exercise and Nutrition, as well as a qualification in health coaching, which includes nutrition and lifestyle choices. She also completed personal transformation training and has led seminars in personal growth and on achieving career and personal aspirations. At REVĪVŌ, Azza will focus on each guest’s potential to achieve holistic results in both health and wellbeing.

In recent years, ketogenic (“keto”) nutrition has become increasingly popular, with numerous celebrity devotees praising the results, but it is actually a scientific approach to dieting that has existed for a very long time. By having a diet low in carbohydrates, the body produces ketones in the liver, which provide fuel and energy. This diet activates the body’s instinctive ability to burn fat, thus stimulating weight loss and providing “keto clarity” of the mind. In addition to facilitating weight loss, the ketogenic diet may also protect against type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer, while supporting longevity. During the retreat, Azza will take guests through a complete transformation of the body by guiding them through a transition onto the keto diet.

A ketogenic menu has been specially designed for the retreat, in collaboration with REVĪVŌ’s creative nutritionist chef, Aliwalu. Showcasing a selection of healthy dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, every plate is a work of art with a full spectrum of colours, rich in superfoods and micronutrients that are required for a ketogenic diet.

Each day of the seven day retreat will be tailored to take guests further on the journey of awakening their body’s strength and rewiring their brain with new motor pathways. This mind-body awakening is thoughtfully designed to help guests achieve their health and wellness goals now, while arming them with the tools needed to continue the journey into their future lives. Throughout the retreat, Azza will be conducting lectures on the ketogenic diet, complemented by daily fitness classes at hybrid fitness area, MOVEŌ, and treatments that have been tailored to complement the ketogenic retreat at holistic spa, REMISSIŌ.

REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort sprawls across three hectares of land in Bali’s Nusa Dua, surrounded by the lush, tropical rainforest and the Indian Ocean. Guests will stay in REVĪVŌ’s enclave of Balinese-style luxury suites and villas, and enjoy access to NŪTRIŌ, the on-site gourmet restaurant, bar and pool lounge and spa facilities.
