We don’t need as much protein as we think. Especially not from animals like the so called ready protein or Creatine or Androstenedione found in animals. Men and women who take extra protein drinks and pills shouldn’t do so, if they care about their health, the earth’s health and, why not the animals health?! We know from so many studies over the years that animal eaters have a much higher risk of getting cancer and other disease than us vegans or vegetarians. Here is another one: 
A recent study published in the British Journal of Cancer shows that those who used the supplements, such as pills and powders, with creatine and androstenedione had as much as a 177% (OMG!!) higher risk to develop testicular cancer than those who didn’t, especially if they began using them before age 25, took two or more supplements, or used the supplements for three years or longer. What we need are the components of protein, the Amino Acids found in plants, not the big hard to digest protein molecules that animal muscles are built with. If you want a high performing disease-free body, going vegan is a no-brainer. This is no news. Most athletes know that a handful of pumpkinseeds or natural peanuts is a much higher source of easy to use protein for us than any muscle food from animals. If you are still not convinced that you can build muscles when only eating plants like our cousins the big apes, then check this.

O•live Retreat demystifies health and in the process it stands clear that health is far from drugs or injections made from petrochemicals.
First we make sure you know yourself, your body and what being healthy means to you, really means. Then we continue to a good cleanse on all levels, Body·Mind·Soul.
With over 15 years in this business and as Conde Nast Travel and some others put it "top-ranked" health retreat, we base our work on the O• method, derived from a multitude of methods, both old as Ayurveda and new as Orthomolecular Medicine. You'll get healthier in all areas of life (as we don't think one can leave health at home while going to work and we can't say we are healthy if we destroy our bodies over the weekend either). One is either healthy or not, within oneself and in ones habits. What that means can only be defined by each and one and if that is to indulge in the unhealthy stuff it's because it's really worth it for the only judge - you.
We offer events such as retreats, workshops, or online courses and we believe in education as the fundamentals of healing is that it's done by oneself. Others can support but it's only oneself that can heal oneself.
The key training for professionals is focused on enhanced productivity through self-inspiration and self-care. As a high equity manager in the finance sector put it - it's all about staying highly inspired. We couldn't agree more and we know how that biochemistry looks like.
Independent studies find that 96% of our guests become more healthy and stay healthy after 6 months, 82% stay healthy after a year. This is a better rate than any other retreat, treatment or training, as far as we know. Our teachings are based on modern science, and ancient evidence based techniques, and a lot of personal experience with trial and error, in the field of being a healthy human in the 21st century.
