Each day you get to choose from about 40 classes and activities plus the nearly 200 wellness and spa

services listed in this Experience Guide. And, yes, we know that’s a lot. You might not know where to start.

My favorite tip: Set an intention for your stay and go from there. You could decide to retool your fitness

program, have a nutrition makeover, begin a spiritual journey, take an in-depth look at your health – follow the

path that calls to you. And do talk it over with one of our expert Program Advisors. They’ll make suggestions,

help you prioritize, schedule appointments and plan an experience that’s perfect for you. I know they’ve

steered me right – indoor cycling is my new passion!

Remember, you have a rare opportunity at Canyon Ranch. Beyond being a fabulous vacation, your stay can

lead to transformational wellness. Every experience here remains true to the trailblazing vision of Canyon

Ranch Founder Mel Zuckerman. He was an overweight, sedentary 50-year-old when he visited a spa and

discovered how great healthy living feels. That’s why he opened Canyon Ranch in 1979. He sparked a health

and fitness revolution that’s still going strong. I’m proud to be carrying on Mel’s tradition and thrilled that

you're part of it.

To your good health!

Susan E. DochertyCanyon Ranch Chief Executive Officer

Canyon Ranch Medicine is a new paradigm of health care. It’s personalized care, focused on you as a whole person.

A board-certified physician will work closely with you and experts in nutrition, fitness, stress reduction and complementary specialties. Which means you could wind up with a revised hormone regimen, new pain management techniques, or a recommendation to try meditation. Whatever will benefit you most.

Ranch physicians specialize in weight loss, nutrition, sleep medicine, cognitive wellness, gut health, fitness, hormonal health, optimal performance, longevity and lifestyle medicine. Upon your request, they’ll communicate with your physician at home, too.

Canyon Ranch is the perfect place for a low-stress exploration of your health potential. The special attention and unhurried consultations can help you reach your true health potential.Note: We suggest you book medical services early in your stay, so you’ll have time for testing and follow-up care as necessary.

Our team of experts provides access to many standard and innovative lab offerings. You may choose to concentrate on one or more of the following:

Gut Health/Digestive Wellness. Tests show how well you digest food and absorb nutrients, and measure the good and bad bacteria, yeast and parasites in your body.

Healthy Weight. Many factors aside from diet and exercise can influence body weight. Our physicians will help you find any contributing factors.

Heart Health. Simple assessments can determine an optimal plan for prevention or treatment of heart disease. Select labs developed in concert with the Cleveland HeartLab® and Boston Heart Diagnostics® may include basic lipid panels, blood glucose levels or advanced analysis to evaluate biomarkers and measures of inflammation.

Insulin Resistance/Metabolic Syndrome. Find out how efficiently you process glucose, and other factors that influence your risk of heart disease, stroke or diabetes.

Nutritional Health. Learn your status in antioxidants, B vitamins, digestive support, essential fatty acids and minerals.

Thyroid Dysfunction. These tests can detect an undiagnosed thyroid problem that may be contributing to a range of symptoms and health risks.

Visceral versus Subcutaneous Fat. Looking inside the body with ultrasound or a DEXA scan can help determine your predilection for cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. Our physicians use these findings to personalize dietary, nutrition and lifestyle approaches to prevention.

Women’s or Men’s Health. Find out how your hormone levels can play a role in your health and happiness.

An initial consultation with a Canyon Ranch physician is required to determine your clinical needs. Additional fees for lab tests apply.

P E R S O N A L I Z E D M E D I C I N E

Customize your health care. A thorough evaluation and diagnostic testing will help determine your medical needs and risks. Your physician will use biomarker evaluation plus genetic studies to design a lifestyle prescription with recommendations meant for you alone.

Personalized MedicineC A R D I O M E T A B O L I C S T R E S S T E S T W I T H P U L M O N A R Y F U N C T I O N T E S T I N G A physician uses advanced testing equipment to determine your aerobic fitness level (VO2 maximum), optimal exercise heart rates, anaerobic threshold and accurate calories burned at any given heart rate. This is also a state-of-the-art for determining the safety of your participation in exercise: You’ll be screened for arrhythmias, EKG changes, exercise-induced asthma, obstructive lung disorders and blood pressure tolerance during exercise. Whether you’re training for a triathlon or just getting started exercising, this service will help you work out safely and efficiently – and get maximum results.

Part I – A physician uses an EKG and metabolic test equipment to measure your oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and cardiac and lung function during exercise. This test can be performed on a treadmill or bicycle. 80 minutes.

Part II – In a follow-up session, an exercise physiologist will interpret your test and create an exercise prescription to meet your health and fitness goals. 50 minutes.

D E X A B O D Y C O M P O S I T I O N This accurate assessment of body composition will help your physician, nutritionist and exercise physiologist to work with you in developing a plan to reach and maintain a healthy body weight. It measures not only total body fat but also lean tissue and visceral fat. DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) is the same technology used for bone density measurement (may be arranged as a separate test for those interested). Although this test uses radiation, the amount is minimal. The radiation from 135 DEXA body composition measurements are equivalent to that from one chest X-ray.

Part I – A physician administers the test, interprets your results and advises you about reducing your risk for disease. Note: This test requires removal of metal objects from your person. 25 minutes.

Part II – In a follow-up session, meet with an exercise physiologist who will interpret the test data and help you set realistic goals for muscle mass and body fat levels. 25 minutes.

O S T E O P O R O S I S P R E V E N T I O N & B O N E D E N S I T Y E VA L U A T I O N Bone loss (osteopenia or osteoporosis) puts both men and women at risk for spine and hip fractures, a common cause of late-life pain and immobility. Your physician evaluates your bone mineral density using DEXA technology, then explains your results and offers recommendations. For women, this can help in making decisions about hormone replacement therapy, other medications and exercise programs. Younger women at risk for osteoporosis because of chronic dieting, compulsive over-exercising, family history or low dietary calcium can use these test results as a baseline in overall health planning. Men at risk, smokers and people over 60 should also consider this service – at-risk individuals receive valuable advice about exercise and calcium replacement. 50 minutes.Note: Can be combined with DEXA Body Composition.

Lab testing is evolving quickly. Canyon Ranch physicians have expertise in leading-edge blood tests that can provide an in-depth understanding of how your body is functioning, well before the disease process begins. Some examples:

n Your biomarkers and their impact on your health

n Your ability to metabolize toxins in the environment

n Your tendency toward inflammation

n Your adrenal and hormonal function

n Vitamin and mineral levels in your body



N A T U R O P A T H I C M E D I C I N E C O N S U L T A T I O N Focus on natural ways of preventing illness and addressing chronic health conditions. A comprehensive discussion of your health history, a review of your body’s systems and nontraditional laboratory testing help the naturopathic physician to evaluate you from a natural perspective. Food allergies or intolerances, impaired detoxification, nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances are just a few of the problems that may contribute to conditions such as arthritis, asthma, eczema, allergies, fatigue and lingering infections. Your naturopathic physician can prescribe a treatment plan that may include diet and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, herbs, homeopathy and acupuncture. This approach is complementary to traditional treatments. 50 minutes.

O P T I M A L H E A L T H C O N S U L T A T I O N Experience truly modern medicine. Integrating the best conventional and complementary approaches, a Canyon Ranch physician guides you toward optimal health using the insights of both Western and Eastern medicine. Address your overall health and specific concerns, such as cardiovascular risk factors, and get a plan to help you prevent disease and possibly reverse existing conditions. Ask about any issues that concern you. You may receive recommendations for laboratory tests that provide a comprehensive view of your health.

For an initial consultation, 50 minutes is recommended. A 25-minute consultation is available for limited, specific health issues.

M E D I C A L U L T R A S O U N D S C R E E N I N G Ultrasound screening helps our doctors understand the workings of the body in ways that a stethoscope and physical examination can’t. High-frequency sound waves produce images of structures within your body, eliminating the need for much guesswork. With ultrasound, your doctor can see accumulation of plaque in the carotid arteries, watch your heart beating and valves moving, and get a look at your liver, kidneys, gallbladder and other internal organs. Ultrasound uses no X-rays and is one of the safest forms of imaging. 50 minutes.

Sleep MedicineEmerging evidence supports a link between disrupted sleep and risk of heart disease, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, ADHD, cognitive decline and chronic pain. Treating sleep disorders may improve management of these conditions and contribute to better overall health and well-being.

M E D I C A L S L E E P D I S O R D E R S Our physicians will assess the nature of your sleep problems and recommend diagnostic and treatment options. If you have daytime sleepiness, wake up often during the night, wake up tired or if you snore, schedule this consultation early in your stay to allow time for additional testing. 50 minutes.Note: If you are unable to fall asleep, or wake up too early, we recommend a Sleep Enhancement consultation.

A L L- N I G H T S L E E P S T U D Y ( P O LY S O M N O G R A P H Y ) An overnight sleep study is helpful for assessing multiple awakenings, snoring, possible sleep apnea and unexplained daytime sleepiness. This formal study is performed by a certified technician in the on-site Canyon Ranch sleep lab, which has all the comforts of our resort rooms. A physician board-certified as a sleep specialist reviews the results with you and makes recommendations for treatment. Note: Polysomnography may be covered by your medical insurance plan.

The right pillow can help you sleep. Choose from our in-room Pillow Menu during your stay.

You also may wish to consider these services to help improve sleep:

n Acupuncture n Euphoria Ritual n Hypnotherapy n Meditation, Visualization & Relaxation n Restorative Massage n Soul Journey n Spiritual Dialogue n Stress Management n Therapeutic Energy


Musculoskeletal Health M E D I C A L G A I T & O R T H O T I C A N A LY S I S If you experience discomfort when you walk, visit a Canyon Ranch certified athletic trainer for a complete biomechanical assessment of your feet and legs. This includes a gait analysis and foot scan. Foot Doctor custom orthotics may be recommended as a noninvasive treatment of foot-related problems such as knee, hip and back pain. They also may be helpful in treating bunions, corns, hammertoes, sore arches, plantar fasciitis, sore ankles, shin splints and more. 25 minutes.

M U S C U L O S K E L E T A L & J O I N T A S S E S S M E N T The easiest injury to treat is the one that is prevented; optimizing your movement gets you there. If you’re experiencing limitations or musculoskeletal pain that disrupts daily living, or you’d like to become more active, meeting with a certified athletic trainer can help. You’ll have a full musculoskeletal evaluation to identify areas of impaired movement, function, mobility or pain. And you’ll receive a customized therapeutic exercise program, including home care plans for a return to optimal function and injury prevention. 50 minutes.

S H O C K WAV E & L A S E R T H E R A P YBy applying sound waves to an injured site on the body, this treatment can help relieve musculoskeletal pain or injury. The sound therapy breaks up scarring that has penetrated tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues, and reactivates the body’s natural healing process. Laser may be combined with shockwave to enhance the healing effect – it is noninvasive and nonsurgical, with virtually no side effects, or used alone to facilitate healing. A Musculoskeletal & Joint Assessment is required prior to treatment. Number of Shockwave and/or Laser Therapy sessions varies according to need. 25 minutes.

P H Y S I C A L T H E R A P Y Learn to use your body more efficiently and comfortably. A physical therapist evaluates your muscle length, strength, posture and alignment. Take home therapeutic exercises to improve functional strength, recover from injury or surgery, reduce chronic pain, or rehabilitate chronic neurological or orthopedic conditions.

n AQUATIC THERAPY Water exercise is an excellent way to improve strength, mobility, endurance and flexibility. Your session with a licensed physical therapist can focus on: upper or lower body, trunk/spine, specific areas of weakness, balance, deep-water conditioning (seasonal), or any type of rehabilitation exercise. 50 minutes.

n BUILD A STRONGER BACK Learn how to improve the stability of your back and resume normal movement patterns without pain through a series of exercises. 50-minutes.

n SPECIALIZED NEEDS CONSULTATION If you have a chronic condition, a specially designed fitness program can improve your quality of life with exercises and activity guidelines appropriate for you. 50 minutes.


Energy TherapiesA C U T O N I C S This system of sound healing uses the power of vibration, intention and light touch to bring body and mind into greater harmony. Tuning forks applied to acupuncture points, chakras and trigger points awaken and align your meridians and energy centers, bringing them into balance. Your acutonics treatment takes place in a healing sound environment created with bells and gongs. Please wear comfortable clothing. 50 minutes.

C R A N I O S A C R A L T H E R A P Y This soothing treatment adjusts the subtle rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid as it circulates around the brain and spinal cord. Using very light, sensitive touch, your massage therapist monitors the flow to determine where restrictions are located and gently releases them. This encourages optimal fluid movement throughout the body. The result is a deep sense of calm. Please wear comfortable clothing. 50 minutes.

T H E R A P E U T I C E N E R G YThis heart-centered, energy-based therapy clears, aligns and balances mind and body. It detects and corrects imbalances in the energy field.

You will remain fully clothed during this treatment. 80 minutes.

T H E R A P E U T I C E N E R G Y W I T H A R O M A T H E R A P YA Healing Energy practitioner trained in aromatherapy will take you through a deep meditative experience using essential oils. These oils have been shown to enhance energy work by creating an open, balanced and connected energy system.
