track," said Cohen. "We do this by offering a comprehensive

freshest cuisine that is low in fat and calories and moderate in
portion sizes. We offer dozens of therapeutic body and skin care
treatments, and we have a medical team second to none."
"The medicine practiced at Canyon Ranch is above and beyond what
any other wellness clinic or health spa in the world offers," says

our integrated approach of treating the entire person, not just
their symptoms. Canyon Ranch`s educational component is top-notch.
We have an array of health and wellness workshops, classes and
consultations all designed to help our guests take what they learn
