Most people don’t have a “sleep problem”. They have a nervous system that never switches off. Rejuvenation Retreat is a private 1 wk reset in France, built around deep sleep, recovery, and clearing your head. If you’re tired all day but wired at night. This is for you 🫵🏽

There’s a difference between “relaxing” and recovering. A break can distract you. Recovery changes your baseline. Rejuvenation Retreat is designed for the second one: sleep depth, calm nervous system, clear head.

'”And I am quite convinced that your being with Mrs. Norris, will be as good for your mind, as riding has been for your health - and as much for your ultimate happiness, too.”' - Jane Austen Mansfield Park 1814 cdc.gov/emotional-well…

My dear little creature, do not stay at Portsmouth to lose your pretty looks. Those vile sea-breezes are the ruin of beauty and health. My poor aunt always felt affected, if within ten miles of the sea, which the Admiral of course never believed Jane Austen Mansfield Park 1814

I am considering your sister's health,' said he… She requires constant air and exercise… she ought never to be long banished from the free air, and liberty of the country. - Jane Austen Mansfield Park 1814 amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/o…

Fanny was beginning to feel the effect of being debarred from her usual, regular exercise; she had lost ground as to health since her being in Portsmouth’ Jane Austen Mansfield Park 1814 health.harvard.edu/exercise-and-f…

‘Fanny’s rides recommenced the very next day, and… Edmund trusted that her losses both of health and pleasure would be soon made good.’ - Jane Austen Mansfield Park 1814 animalscience.tamu.edu/2015/07/study-…

‘I cannot but think that good horsemanship has a great deal to do with the mind… I think Miss Crawford would be glad to have [the mare] for a longer time… But any morning will do for this… She rides only for pleasure, you for health.’ - Jane Austen Mansfield Park 1814

‘[The 18th century]… medicinal reputation of [Bath] thermal springs drew together in the shared pursuit of health… a wide range of different… people who would not otherwise have associated with each other in the very class-conscious society’ 1/2 John T. Gilmore Satire 2018

‘There was… an enormous disparity between the claims of eighteenth-century medicine, that the [Bath] spa waters were beneficial whether taken internally or externally, and the actual results.’ 2/2 - John T. Gilmore Satire 2018

The fact… [17th-century uni] texts were in Greek gave physicians a reputation for learning, but [John] Earle suggests that… the physician paid as little attention to them as [they] generally did to the university statutes they swore to obey’ 1/2 - John T. Gilmore Satire 2018

Insofar as the physician does understand Greek, the only use he makes of it is to baffle… patients into… expensive treatment which may make a minor ailment into… something genuinely serious which might even lead to the death of a patient. 2/2 - John T. Gilmore Satire 2018
