ABOUT this event:
July 23-26, 2026
The Mackay Bar Reset is designed for corporate leaders or individuals wanting to reset how they lead, regain energy, clarity, and intention in their lives and leadership. Join us for a four day, three night all-inclusive adventure where we focus on GOOD ENERGY, GOOD FOOD, and GOOD HEALTH. Jet boat adventures, beach and relaxation time, hiking, fishing all the while gaining inset on how to reclaim energy, strengthen mindset, lead with intension, understand how to fuel your body with clean food and household products, and understand the five metabolic mastery tools taught by Dr. Casey Means in her renowned book, GOOD ENERGY.
Why this is Different:
- Most “health retreats” ask you to sit in classrooms or follow rigid schedules. The Mackay Bar Reset is nothing like that. Here, your reset happens while you’re laughing on jet boats, exploring hidden canyons, hiking wilderness trails, and stargazing on sandy river beaches.
- Yes, you’ll learn life-changing tools: how to eat for energy, how to optimize sleep, how to use simple biohacking techniques like red light therapy, and how movement in nature resets your body and mind. But you’ll also be living it in real time—around campfires, on hikes, on the river, and at the ranch.
- This is not a retreat that feels like “work.” It’s a back-to-earth adventure where the lessons stick because they’re woven into an unforgettable experience. You’ll leave not only with a healthier body and new knowledge but with incredible stories, laughter, and memories that keep pulling you back to the wild Salmon River.
What's included:
- Private chef-curated meals focused on energy, metabolic health, and real-food education
- Salmon River cold plunges, daily breathwork & functional movement to regulate stress and build resilience
- Wilderness experiences — jet boat tours, hikes, swims, and time to truly disconnect
- Clean living guide — curated product recommendations + food label decoding
- Connection & community in one of the most remote and unforgettable places in the U.S.
Food is education - each meal is an experience
At the heart of the Reset is food as medicine. Every meal is thoughtfully designed to fuel your body the right way—packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, while cutting out seed oils, refined sugars, and processed grains. Our team will not only serve you delicious, energizing meals but also teach you how to carry these food lessons home so you can sustain your energy, improve your sleep, and transform your health long after you leave.
Each Meal Is an Experience — You’ll Learn:
- How to build your plate for energy and hormone balance
- Why food order matters for blood sugar and metabolic health
- What whole, real nourishment actually looks and tastes like
- That food is information, not just fuel
