Work
Different businesses. One practical question.
How can better health become more personal, more continuous and more useful in everyday life?
The weak point of any great clinic is the day the client goes home. People complete a programme, feel better, and assume the rest of the year will take care of itself. Everything built around Clinique La Prairie since 2016 follows from that observation.
Some of these businesses are established institutions. Others are still developing. The objective is not to make them identical, but to let each one solve a different part of the same problem: assessment, intervention, continuity and learning.
The institution
Clinique La Prairie
Clinique La Prairie was founded in Montreux in 1931, when Professor Paul Niehans began the work on cellular revitalisation that made the house famous. Almost a century later it remains one idea pursued with unusual depth: medical care, nutrition, movement and mental wellbeing brought together under one roof, with around fifty specialist doctors and a method that runs in three stages — assessment, personalised intervention, follow-up. Programmes such as Revitalisation and Master Detox are the visible part; the substance is a week of serious diagnostics translated into a plan a person can actually live.
Since 2016 my responsibility as CEO has been to protect what makes the institution distinctive — its medical credibility, Swiss rigour and standard of care — while turning a single clinic into an international platform.
Destinations
Health Resorts
Health Resorts are destination projects for people who need time, distance and a structured environment to focus on their health: Montreux, Anji in China, Phuket and Amaala to follow. Each carries the same method, calibrated to the individual and adapted to its place.
The challenge is to combine medical depth, hospitality and operational discipline without turning the experience into either a hospital stay or a conventional retreat. We keep the resorts deliberately small, because the personalisation that makes them valuable cannot survive at a hundred rooms.
The environment matters, but the programme must remain the reason for the trip.
Continuity
Longevity Hubs
Longevity Hubs are urban locations, in cities such as Dubai, Doha, Madrid and Beijing, designed to bring assessment, treatment and follow-up closer to where clients live.
Their role is continuity: helping a relationship with health extend beyond a single visit or programme. The hubs exist because one intensive week a year, however good, is not a system.
Longevity cannot depend only on one intensive week each year.
Daily health
Clinique La Prairie Holistic Health
We created Clinique La Prairie Holistic Health for a simple reason: our doctors could not find supplements they were fully confident recommending. The answer was to develop our own — a range built in Switzerland over five years of research, formulated to the clinic’s standards of quality and integrity, and a new category in daily longevity care.
The longer-term ambition is broader: to support people between major interventions, not only during them, so that part of the method travels home.
Investment
Longevity Fund by Clinique La Prairie
The Longevity Fund, which I co-chair, supports companies working on science-based approaches to healthier ageing across diagnostics, regeneration, nutrition and wellbeing. The science is moving faster than any single clinic can absorb; the fund is how we help promising research become something usable.
Its value should come not only from capital but from connecting researchers and entrepreneurs with clinical experience, real clients and practical feedback. In longevity, enthusiasm can outrun evidence, so rigour and external validation matter.
