The Exhausted Exec Who Needed More Than a Vacation
❝ “I didn’t need a break. I needed a reset.” — Emily Wiles
Emily, a 42-year-old marketing exec, was stuck in the spin cycle of modern burnout. Between 10-hour Zoom marathons, neck pain, and caffeine dependence, her body was screaming for help. A typical tropical vacation sounded nice—but not healing.
That’s when she discovered a new kind of travel: med‑cations—getaways that combine relaxation with real medical care, diagnostics, and wellness interventions. She booked a 5-day retreat in Costa Rica with:
✅ Functional nutrition testing
✅ Infrared sauna sessions
✅ Yoga + breathwork
✅ 1:1 sessions with a wellness doctor
When she returned, her gut was happier, her anxiety lower, her body stronger—and for the first time in years, she felt in control again.
