It’s Grayshott’s newest programme so I arrived to test it in the freezing cold.
It’s basically a GUT CLEANSING affair and I’m fascinated to know how it differs from other similar programmes through diet, exercise, fasting and various massages and holistic therapies.
As with every visit to Grayshott, your stay begins with a visit to the nurse, and these nurses are seriously special. Most of them have been here since God was a girl, have seen it all, know almost everything there is to know about a body and so make everything seem like coming home. They reassure you with their knowledge and warmth…as Joanie did with me explaining that my blood pressure was normal for me, writing copious notes to everybody that they were NOT to tell me my weight (that’s something I don’t need to know, I know it too well from my side), and organising a hot water bottle for my bed. What’s not to love
This was followed by a consultation with Ravi about my fitness levels (or rather lack of them) before heading for the introductory lecture by a whirlwind of a nutritionist, Stephanie Moore who devised the prog with Grayshott’s resident angelic therapist Elaine Williams, and between them they appear to have banned most foods…in theory, if not in practice, for the supper following the lecture was delicious, it included steak(!) and filling.
Entertainment was even organised with the appearance of a glossy red fox streaking across the lawn. So far, so good, no headaches, no hunger and a huge amount of interesting information shared.
