Executive wellness, minus the brochure

What this site is and is not

It is consumer guidance for expensive wellness decisions — the programs, retreats, and vendor categories that surround executive health. It is not medical advice: nothing here diagnoses or treats anything, and every page that touches health says plainly where the professional line sits. Where we name a real program, the facts come from that provider's own published pages with the date we read them; where we have not verified, we say so.

What is an executive health program?

A compressed, concierge-style preventive exam: one to three days of screenings, specialist consults, and results delivered fast, sold to executives and the companies that insure their continuity. Mayo Clinic's version — the most-searched — runs at Rochester, Phoenix, Jacksonville, and its London clinic, structured as a 1-to-3-day personalized itinerary, per Mayo's program pages. Our programs guide covers what is inside one and how to judge whether it beats a good annual physical.

Is executive burnout a medical condition?

Burnout is classified by the WHO as an occupational phenomenon, not a medical diagnosis — but its symptoms overlap with conditions that are, which is exactly why self-diagnosis fails. Our burnout guide covers the recognized pattern (exhaustion, cynicism, reduced efficacy) and recovery structure, and is explicit about the line: persistent symptoms belong in front of a clinician, not a content site.

Are corporate wellness programs worth buying?

The honest evidence picture is mixed and depends heavily on what "wellness program" means — step challenges and app subscriptions show weak results in rigorous studies, while structural changes (workload, schedule control, management practices) show more. Our corporate wellness page maps the vendor landscape and the questions that separate programs with a mechanism from programs with a brochure.
