Optimal with Dr Liz

A bespoke, science-led retreat for midlife renewal.

Combining nutrition, movement, and meaningful travel - guided by science, soul, and strategy. 🌿

Pause for a moment today. Ask yourself:

👉 If I woke up tomorrow with more energy, what would change?

Would you spend more time with loved ones? Pursue a passion? Finally, slow down?

This is how transformation begins, not with giant leaps, but with honest questions.

Your first meal sets the rhythm for your energy curve.

Instead of chasing quick sugar highs, try a protein-rich, anti-inflammatory breakfast. It balances blood sugar, improves focus, and reduces that mid-morning crash.

Why it matters in midlife:
🌱 Stabilises blood sugar and energy
🌱 Reduces inflammation linked to joint pain and fatigue
🌱 Supports gut health and hormone balance

Nutrition doesn’t have to be radical. Often it’s one smart swap at a time.

✨ Instead of refined cereals (high in sugar, low in fibre) try oats with berries, chia seeds, and nuts. Adding yogurt, whey, or collagen powder provides valuable protein that is great for sustained energy and muscle maintenance.

What’s your go-to morning fuel?

Burnout often arrives quietly. You keep moving, working, caring… until one day you realise your tank has been empty for months.

At Optimal with Dr Liz retreats, we meet people exactly here. Not at crisis, but at the threshold, when they’re ready to restore.

Ask yourself: Am I still pushing through? Or am I ready to reset?

This retreat is designed for midlife individuals and couples who need to restore energy, clarity, and flow, so life feels expansive again, not like something to survive.

Reach out to Dr Liz & team if this resonates.

Healing after cancer isn’t about “getting back” to who you were.
It’s about creating a new foundation, one that honours your body, your story, and your energy.

I’ve seen how nutrition, gentle movement, reflection and community can help women navigate the physical and emotional weight of recovery.

🧘‍♀️Gentle movement.
🍲Restorative nutrition.
🌱Mindset tools for resilience.
🫂Community.

Post-cancer wellness isn’t a quick fix. It’s a journey of rebuilding strength with compassion and clarity.

We are not meant to run on autopilot.

Even when life is “good on paper”, career, family, commitments, a quiet fatigue can creep in.

That’s often not just about rest.

It’s about balance between physical energy, mental clarity, and emotional vitality.

When one of these is low, the whole system feels sluggish.

The solution isn’t always to “do more”, it’s to tune in, slow down, and reset the rhythm.

That’s why I design retreats that restore all three layers of energy, so you leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply recharged.

Some seasons don’t call for more effort.
They call for restoration.

If you could take just one thing today,
what would it be?

Quiet strength?
Deeper sleep?
A softer start?

Take what you need.
Everything else can wait.

Mark’s retired now.
The pressure’s eased, but the purpose feels... adrift.

He’s supported others for decades.
Handled responsibility. Showed up.
But lately?
The energy’s not the same.
Neither is the clarity.

He’s not unwell.
But he’s not fully thriving, either.

What he wants now is structure, with space.
Support, with intelligence.
To feel strong again, but not in the way the world expects.

This season isn’t about pushing.
It’s about tuning in.
And choosing what comes next, with intention.

For those who’ve done the work. Now ready to feel the reward.

Your body runs on rhythms, biological clocks that govern everything from hormone release to digestion.

When we align with them, we make life easier: steady energy, balanced mood, better sleep, sharper focus.

At the retreat, we’ll look at your personal rhythms and map your Optimal Day, so the small daily actions you take work with your biology, not against it.

Sophie is three years post-treatment.
The world sees her as well.
Strong. Grateful. Moving on.

But beneath that strength is a quiet exhaustion.
The kind that lingers long after the appointments end.

She doesn’t need another protocol.
She needs time. Space. Support that feels human.

This is what healing after the healing looks like.
And it deserves just as much care.

For those in the “after,” still finding their way forward.

Why do most midlife health plans fail?

They treat symptoms. Not systems. They isolate food from mood. Exercise from sleep. Mind from body.

At Optimal with Dr Liz, we work through the 3 Ms:

Mindset. Menu. Movement.

Backed by science. Guided by the soul. Because true vitality isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s a formula tailored to who you are now.

🌿 Is Optimal for you?

If you’re in midlife, or at any turning point, and want to:
✔️ Reclaim your energy

✔️ Get clarity on your next chapter
✔️ Enjoy a supportive, like-minded community

…then yes, this is for you.

Our guests are health-conscious professionals, leaders, caregivers, and seekers, ready to shift from “functioning” to flourishing.

This isn’t about doing more.

It’s about doing what matters, with the right tools and support.
