MeyaFast – The Urban Retreat

At a time when GLP1 drugs and quick metabolic fixes are reshaping the conversation around weight, appetite and longevity, MeyaFast offers a natural, guided approach: a way to reconnect with hunger cues, reset eating patterns, and explore the deeper benefits of fasting for cellular repair, clarity and renewal.

MeyaFast is a small, highly personalised urban fasting reset curated for those seeking more than restriction: a thoughtful pause from the intensity of modern life, and an opportunity for intelligent renewal.

Held in an intimate setting in Hampstead, London, the three day immersive experience combines evidence informed fasting principles with nervous system support, movement, conversation, rest, and nutritional guidance. Inspired by European fasting retreats, MeyaFast offers the benefits of a reset without needing to leave the city.

Importantly, the reset itself begins well before the weekend. Each participant starts with an included 1:1 nutritional consultation approximately one month beforehand, allowing for personalised preparation, dietary adjustments, and supportive guidance leading into the fast. Participants are also supported throughout the lead up period, helping to make the experience feel both intentional and manageable.

The focus is not simply on restriction, but on creating the conditions for the body and mind to recalibrate. Clients often come seeking greater clarity, metabolic balance, improved energy, digestive support, emotional reset, or simply a quieter space in which to reconnect with themselves.

Each reset is intentionally small and invitation only, allowing for a highly individual approach and meaningful attention to each participant. Alongside the immersive weekends, Alexandra also works privately with clients through 1:1 nutritional therapy consultations, with a particular interest in longevity, women’s health, nervous system regulation, gut health, and the relationship between nutrition and emotional wellbeing.

MeyaFast sits at the intersection of modern longevity thinking and a more human, restorative approach to health: less performance driven optimisation, more intelligent renewal, creating space for clarity, confidence and meaningful change.
