Since I was in LA for our press breakfast, I decided to take the 30-minute ride to visit the brand-new California WellBeing Institute in Westlake Village that I had been hearing so much about. I knew few specifics except that it is the vision of David Murdock; that it opened in conjunction with a new Four Seasons Hotel; that it has a spa as well as a medical wellness component; and that a great deal of money had been spent in building it!

I learned a great deal more during my visit, which I will share with you tomorrow. But suffice it to say that the range of medical offerings was the biggest surprise…all kinds of the very latest diagnostic equipment, dermatology, and even dentistry. It was a peek into the future of luxury wellness.
