The Sha Wellness Clinic on the Mediterranean offers nutrition-centric programs designed to address everything from healthy aging to weight loss.
The menu isn’t part of some newfangled scheme to shed pounds. Rather, the macrobiotic drinks and dishes all have microbiome-boosting properties that alleviate bloating and support gastrointestinal health, the target of the new “gut-health-focused pack.” The weeklong regimen—crammed with specialist consultations, colon cleansing, and other stomach-healing treatments—can be added onto Sha’s existing programs.
Increasingly, studies are showing how simple hacks such as altering our diets or taking probiotics can, in some cases, be more effective than prescription antidepressants. “Studies in laboratory mice have shown that certain probiotics can increase the production of GABA,” she notes, referring to a neurotransmitter manufactured by gut microbes that helps minimize feelings of fear and stress, “and reduce anxiety and depression-like behavior.
That Sha’s methods incorporate both Western science and alternative medicine makes it well suited to fortifying the body’s microbiome. “You have everybody aligned to find your solution,” says Fernando Rojo, Sha’s general manager. “When [guests] come here, they have everything under one roof.” For each meal there are three menus available—which vary from gastronomic to calorie-restrictive—but the cooks also prepare off-menu dishes for patients whose nutritionists recommend individualized eating plans. In these cases, meals get tweaked over the course of the stay according to how you’re feeling. Coming to Spain without indulging in Manchego or a boozy carajillo coffee may sound boring, but eating at Sha really is healthy fine dining at its best.
“If you drink one glass [of wine] and you’re enjoying it with friends or family, or even yourself, that is important, too, because we have a very close relationship between the brain and the bowel,” Silva tells me when I break the news that abstinence doesn’t have a permanent place in my future. Happiness is good for the gut, she reminds me. “Just avoid anything processed!” she warns.
There are moments when sticking to a single glass of wine feels impossible, especially when friends come to town the week following my return. But by and large, the habits I learned at Sha have stuck. When I, I occasionally skip breakfast to let my digestive system rest. I generally avoid gluten and dairy, and I try to eat as much local, seasonal produce as possible.

When proteins get stuck at solid: unlocking the secrets to brain diseasesBiomedical engineers have developed sophisticated optical techniques to monitor at close range the process by which protein aggregates form during liquid-to-liquid transition. This can lead to solid condensates which can trigger a process that forms neural plaques, that can cause Alzheimer's and other diseases.
