ETHOS Bertolina offers a comprehensive 10-week recovery program for individuals suffering from Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), based on the pioneering work of Dr. Shai Efrati and the latest advances in regenerative and neuroplasticity medicine.
The program centers on intensive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), delivered five days per week in 120-minute sessions. Research suggests that HBOT can improve cerebral blood flow, stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, enhance mitochondrial function, reduce neuroinflammation, and promote neuroplasticity—key mechanisms believed to address many underlying contributors to Long COVID and chronic fatigue.
To maximize recovery, HBOT is combined with Hyperoxic-Hypoxic Paradox (HHP) and a scientific cognitive stimulation device designed to enhance brain performance during periods of increased neuroplasticity.
During the second phase, Photobiomodulation is introduced to support cellular energy production, neurological recovery, and inflammation control. In the final phase, participants work with a personal trainer to safely rebuild strength, endurance, and physical resilience.
The program also incorporates the Hippocrates “Food as Medicine” philosophy, providing guidance on anti-inflammatory nutrition, lifestyle optimization, sleep, and stress management to support long-term recovery. Participants commonly report: • Reduced fatigue and brain fog • Improved memory, focus, and mental clarity • Better sleep quality • Increased energy and exercise tolerance • Reduced pain and inflammation • Enhanced emotional wellbeing and quality of life
The program includes accommodation with breakfast at ETHOS Bertolina. Lunch and dinner are not included, allowing guests to enjoy the many restaurants within walking distance while following personalized dietary recommendations.
Designed as a science-based, multidisciplinary recovery experience, this program aims to help individuals regain function, independence, and confidence on their journey back to health.
