IDAHO FRONTIER WELLNESS PRESENTS
Mountain Health Retreats
Your diagnosis is not your destiny.
A medically guided, faith-rooted retreat designed to reverse metabolic disease — in the heart of the Idaho mountains.
Seven Devils Lodge · Bear, Idaho · ~2 hours from Boise
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
— 3 John 1:2
WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE
You were not made for chronic disease.
The science of lifestyle medicine is clear: metabolic disease is largely driven by how we eat, move, sleep, and manage stress. Change those things — really change them, with the right clinical support — and the body responds.
Participants come to the Backcountry Outpost Retreat carrying diagnoses they've been told are permanent. They leave with something they didn't expect: a real path out.
Blood sugar moving in the right direction
Sometimes within days of changing how you eat — and you'll see it in real time on your CGM.Practical skills that go home with you
How to cook, shop, and eat in a way that actually works — demonstrated, practiced, and yours to keep.A clear path to fewer medications
A personalized protocol built around your labs, your history, and your goals — reviewed with Bonnie directly.A faith framework for lasting change
Honoring God with your health isn't a side note here — it's the foundation everything else is built on.Real understanding of your metabolic health
Not just what to do — but why your body got here and exactly how to reverse it.Community that understands
Eight people who know exactly where you've been — and where you're headed.
WHO THIS IS FOR
If you have been told this is just something you manage — we disagree.
This retreat is designed for Christians living with metabolic disease who are ready to do the work — with real medical support, real food, and real faith.
