Longevity Retreat in Dubai: where Luxury Meets Precision Medicine
By Ella Davar, RD – Longevity Dietitian, Global Wellness Leader & Founder of Gut-Brain Method™
Every year, I dedicate my birthday not to parties or presents—but to my most precious asset: health. I call it my personal ritual of investing time, energy, and resources into future youthfulness.
Two years ago, I chose the Swiss Alps. Last year, it was the cliffs of Portugal. But this year, I found myself drawn to the vibrant, high-tech, and deeply luxurious energy of Dubai. This time, I wasn’t alone. My mother joined me—for what turned out to be the most profound and heartfelt family Longevity Retreat I’ve ever experienced.
From the moment we landed, everything felt different.
Arrival: From Jet Lag to Joy
We were greeted at the airport by the Transcend Healthcare team, who welcomed us with fresh flowers and a private driver. Within hours, we checked into our wellness suite at The Retreat Palm Dubai MGallery—a serene beachfront oasis located on the iconic Palm Jumeirah, known for its elegance, exclusivity, and rejuvenating energy.
A Day in the Life: Longevity Science in Action
Each morning began with yoga, meditation, breathwork, and movement—protocols I’ve used for years in my clinical practice to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and enhance vagal tone for optimal digestion, immunity, and emotional regulation.
Then came biohacking treatments and medical diagnostics:
Advanced blood work analysis for metabolic health
Oxygen therapy, lymphatic massage, NAD+ infusions
IV glutathione for detox and cellular repair
Gut testing and functional assessments
Doctor consultations tailored to optimize each individual’s longevity profile
My mom was blown away by the care and precision. And as a clinical dietitian, seeing her receive this level of preventive medicine was the greatest gift I could offer.
Culinary Longevity: Food as Medicine
Let’s talk about the food. Every meal was a celebration of gut health and neuro-nutrition:
Fresh Mediterranean fare, antioxidant-rich berries, omega-3s, organic vegetables, and superfood-infused elixirs made every bite both delicious and therapeutic.
This was functional cuisine elevated to luxury dining—proof that health optimization doesn’t mean deprivation. It means intention, flavor, and micronutrient synergy.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m partnering with Transcend Healthcare to host an exclusive Longevity Retreat in Dubai, October 16–19.

Why Dubai?
Dubai is the epicenter of luxury wellness meets futuristic healthcare. It offers the precision of Switzerland, the climate of California, and the hospitality of the Middle East—all in one place.
