What to Expect
We are delighted to host an exclusive gathering for you. A unique experience around metabolism and an overall healthy lifestyle.
The Metabolic Gathering is the first of its kind, a 3-night gathering that brings together independent thinkers, researchers, practitioners, and creators who see metabolism as the key to understanding health.
The Metabolic Gathering is not a retreat, not a conference, and not a networking event — it’s everything combined!!!
You can expect:
🔥 DEBATES THAT PUSH BOUNDARIES
Live-streamed sessions where we challenge conventional ideas around weight loss, cholesterol, macronutrients, fasting, and metabolic dysfunction — with participants from different schools of thought.
💬 DEEP CONVERSATIONS IN SMALL GROUPS
You’ll take part in structured group discussions around key topics like insulin resistance, diet archetypes, micronutrient balance, and metabolic flexibility. You’ll contribute your ideas, ask your questions, and help others sharpen theirs.
🥗 NOURISHING, SHARED MEALS
All meals are prepared on-site by a team using local, high-quality ingredients — with space to talk, reflect, and enjoy being human again.
🌅 GREEK ISLAND MOMENTS
Hike together. Swim. Make cheese. Watch the sun rise with your morning coffee or journal under an olive tree. It’s not all work — you’ll have time to breathe.
🧘 DAILY MOVEMENT & RECHARGE
Each day begins with optional movement: mobility, breathwork, or yoga-inspired flow. Balance is key — and we’ll embody it.
🎥 RECORDINGS & PRIVATE RECAP
Key sessions will be recorded and shared only with participants. You’ll leave with a digital recap, insights, and contacts to continue the conversations after the event.
Who is behind it
KETO WITH PANAGIOTIS
A certified N1 Precision Nutritional coach, EREPS Personal Trainer and founder of Ketobox. Panagiotis is passionate about health and helping people around the world to get back on track.
As a coach, he believes having more energy and feeling better are key for going after your goals. To achieve this, he takes a holistic approach to health and wellness based on fixing our metabolism.
“I have been doing keto for almost a decade now and have been coaching clients to experience the same benefits that I got from this lifestyle. On the way I have learned, changed, adjusted and revised many of my thoughts and beliefs about nutrition. “
CARNIVORE WITH AMBER
Amber O’Hearn has been studying (and eating!) low carb diets of some form or other for over 25 years, the last half of which has been specifically the Carnivore Diet, which she helped bring into modern awareness by giving the first conference talks on the diet in 2017, organising the first Carnivore conference in 2019, and writing the first scientific paper with “Carnivore Diet” in the title in 2020. As such, she has unique insight into the history of this trend and the common pitfalls of new adopters and influencers. One aspect that modern Carnivore promoters often get wrong is the addition of constraints on caloric (fat) consumption. While short bursts of fasting or lower intake are sometimes uniquely beneficial, Amber holds that the healthiest, sustainable diet maximises energy intake to support a high-functioning body. Amber is a free speech advocate and proponent of privacy-enhancing and censorship-resistant technologies.
THE CROISSANT DIET WITH BRAD
Brad brings a rare ability to bridge deep scientific research with practical application. Known for his work on the ROS theory of obesity and the popular Croissant Diet, he challenges conventional views on fat metabolism and energy signaling. With a background in molecular biology and farming, Brad’s approach is as grounded as it is innovative.
THE SUGAR DIET WITH JOSH
Josh Rainer carried a lifetime of passion for sport and fitness into being something of an early fitness influencer while he was still in college where he studied Kinesiology at the University of Southern California. Disillusioned with the quality of information propagated throughout higher education, Josh always explored alternative sources and paths for knowledge. He jumped into CrossFit and the Paleo Diet while in college, eventually attaining his CrossFit Level 1 and USA Weightlifting certifications while being a personal trainer. Being a national finalist strongman competitor and the Caveman Coffee mascot gave him so much exposure that he landed his very own TV show, hosting “GymRatts” on ESPN. A first of its kind concept, the show did so well it was ordered a full season run in 2020 tragically cut due to COVID. Josh used that uncertain time to spend a couple years working on a farm in Colorado, milking cows for raw dairy, and butchering livestock, getting his hands as dirty as possible to find where to source and how to produce the best quality food imaginable. Josh is most currently inspired by the work of Ray Peat and the bioenergetic perspective to health, as well as exploring various training modalities to improve athleticism and wellbeing.

You have two options. You can arrive at any time on Thursday the 16th, as the first day we will be a relaxed day. If you wish to join us 1 or 2 days earlier you can do so, at an extra cost.
