Sometimes we need to step away from our everyday lives to truly reset, renew, and reconnect with ourselves.
Recently, I had the opportunity to do just that by experiencing the 7-Day Rejuvenation and Detox Program at Sanoviv, and it was one of the most transformative weeks of my life.
As a holistic health coach and gut specialist, I’ve studied wellness for years and guided others on their healing journeys. But at Sanoviv, I had the chance to receive the very care I often encourage my clients to prioritize for themselves.
What Is Sanoviv Medical Institute?
Sanoviv is a fully licensed hospital in Rosarito, Mexico that offers a unique blend of conventional, complementary, alternative and integrative programs to help maintain your good health and to treat a wide range of diseases. Instead of treating just symptoms as is done in traditional medicine, Sanoviv uses “Functional Medicine” which addresses and treats the underlying causes of disease.
Sanoviv drivers pick you up and return you to your San Diego destination.
It was built from the ground up with low toxin building materials, surrounded by beautiful gardens, and majestic ocean views – providing an ideal healing environment.
The Sanoviv chefs serve only organic meals that are gluten free, dairy free, and delicious to taste! They supply you with comfortable clothing that is made from natural fibers, allowing your body to breathe and detoxify.
A Sanctuary for Healing
From the moment I arrived, I felt the difference.
Sanoviv isn’t just a retreat center—it’s a fully licensed hospital dedicated to functional and integrative medicine.
The environment is calm, nurturing, and intentionally designed to remove distractions and stressors so the body can focus on healing.
Even the ocean breeze and toxin-free environment seemed to whisper: you are safe here; you can let go.
The clothing is loose fitting to increase the lymphatic flow throughout the body. Your room is toxin free and your bedding is furnished with organic cotton linens. We also supply you with non-toxic shampoo, conditioner, soap and toothpaste.
The Program: More Than a Detox
The 7-Day Rejuvenation and Detox Program was far from a quick cleanse or fad. Instead, it was a carefully structured blend of:
- Nutrient-dense, organic meals that supported deep cellular healing.
- Gentle detoxification therapies to clear toxins and reset digestion.
- Daily fitness and movement classes that were energizing but restorative.
- Mind-body therapies like meditation, breathwork, and stress management practices.
- Personalized care from Sanoviv’s expert medical and wellness team.
What struck me most was how holistic the program was—it wasn’t just about what I was eating or drinking. It was about addressing my body, mind, and spirit in harmony.
My Personal Breakthroughs
By the third day, I felt lighter—not just physically, but emotionally. Years of accumulated stress and mental chatter began to quiet down. My digestion felt more balanced, my sleep improved, and I experienced a clarity of thought that reminded me of how good health truly feels.
On the final day, I left not only rejuvenated but also empowered with practical tools to bring back into my daily life.
Sanoviv’s philosophy isn’t about a one-time reset—it’s about sustainable wellness.

Why This Matters to My Mission
This experience deepened my passion for functional medicine and validated the work I do with my clients. Health is not just the absence of disease—it’s the presence of vitality, balance, and joy.
Sanoviv embodies this truth, and being part of it reminded me why I am committed to helping others discover the same.
