The 21-day chronic illness retreat

The 21-day chronic illness retreat is Dr. Roni DeLuz's most in-depth program, three weeks on Martha's Vineyard for people living with long-term health concerns. Each day combines education, nutrition and therapies built on five principles of cellular renewal, alongside the care you already receive from your own doctors. The program fee is $27,195 per guest.

Three weeks to focus on your health

Living with a long-term health concern often means short appointments, conflicting advice and little time to make real changes. The 21-day retreat gives you the opposite: three weeks on Martha’s Vineyard where your health is the only thing on the schedule, with Dr. Roni and her team beside you every day.

Dr. Roni knows this road personally. Years into her nursing career she became seriously unwell with chronic fatigue, saw dozens of doctors and spent a long time in bed before nutrition and detoxification became part of her recovery. That experience is why this program exists.

The five principles behind the program

The 21 days are built around five ideas from cell biology that Dr. Roni weaves into the daily education, nutrition and therapies:

  • Autophagy, the body’s own process for clearing out and recycling worn-out cell parts
  • Immune modulation, supporting a balanced immune response
  • Ketosis, shifting the body toward burning fat for fuel through nutrition
  • Detoxification and senolytic support, helping the body clear waste and aging cells
  • Apoptosis, the natural, orderly turnover of old cells

These shape how you eat, which therapies you have and what you learn each day. They are principles for supporting wellbeing, not a promise to cure any disease.

What the three weeks include

  • A personal plan, set with Dr. Roni when you arrive and adjusted as you go
  • Daily nutrition built on detox elixirs and PEVY meals
  • Therapies chosen for you, which may include hyperbaric oxygen, IV therapy, infrared sauna, BEMER and red light
  • Daily education on food, detox, stress, sleep and movement
  • Emotional support sessions, because long illness is never only physical
  • A written plan for home, with the option to continue on the 90-day telehealth program
