There’s a reason you feel different in the fall.

As the days grow shorter, your sleep, energy, and mood shift with the light — and at British Columbia’s latitude, that shift arrives early and lingers. You’ve seen the headlines about sunlight, circadian rhythm, and vitamin D. You’re just not sure what to actually do about it.

You don’t need another podcast or another supplement. You need real answers from a real physician — and a week to put them into practice before winter sets in.

There is a better way to meet the season. And the science behind it might surprise you.

After seven days, you won't just feel rested. You'll feel renewed.

Evidence you can trust

Learn from a quadruple board-certified physician and MedCram founder whose teaching reaches over a million people. Understand the real science of sunlight, sleep, and circadian health — not trends, but research you can take to your own doctor.

Habits you’ll take home

Simple, physician-backed routines for morning light, deeper sleep, and resetting your body clock — practical enough to begin the day you get home, and made for the months when daylight runs short.

A body that feels different

Seven days of nourishing food, nature walks through mountain trails, spa treatments, and rest. Guests report reduced inflammation, better sleep, and renewed energy.

A plan you can follow

This isn’t information overload. It’s a clear, sustainable framework for living well — built on eight time-tested natural principles and backed by cutting-edge research on light and rest.

A community, not a program

Arrive a guest, leave as family. By the end of the week, guests often share phone numbers, and encouraging each other to keep going.

Peace you forgot was possible

Let the rest of the world wait. Your only notifications out here could be the rustling of the wind in the trees and the rhythm of your heartbeat.

Your only job this week is to show up. We’ll handle the rest.

Everything is taken care of. Including you.

What Makes Silver Hills Different

Come as a guest. Leave as family.

At Silver Hills, wellness isn’t just a program — it’s a personal journey guided by people who genuinely care. Our staff takes the time to truly listen, to understand what you need, and to adapt your experience accordingly. Hours of conversation. Thoughtful adjustments. The kind of attention that guests say they’ve never experienced anywhere else.

Some guests respond with deep emotion. Not because something is wrong — but because they finally feel truly cared for. Often for the first time in years.

This is what 40 years of caring for people looks like. Since 1984, when Phil and Eileen Brewer moved out of their own bedroom to welcome their first guest, Silver Hills has been a place where strangers arrive and family leaves. Where healing happens not just through food and education, but through genuine human connection.

Real stories. Real transformation.

After 5 Nights at Silver Hills

I was incredibly stressed in life, and my cup was not running over — it was empty. I was exhausted, and was not sleeping, and was reactive, and irritable, and I knew I needed to do something different for myself. Here I am Friday, heading home, and I really feel like a different person. The change in my sense of peace and calm and ease of just life is so increased. Monica

On Measurable Health Changes

The inflammation in my body — I have chronic pain since I was 19 — and the pain levels in my body have reduced substantially. I would say cut by 50%. I feel refreshed, and I feel like my skin is dewy. I truly feel renewed and reset. Monica

On Plant-Based Meals & Cooking Classes

I had a little bit of a bias against vegan food. I’ve got to tell you, my mind is completely changed about that. I am absolutely astounded at the quality and deliciousness of the food and really value the cooking classes we had here. I can take some of this new knowledge and information home. Monica

Final Reflection

When I arrived May 4th, I was near burnout. I was stressed. I was anxious. I was exhausted. This experience, just even for five nights, has totally shifted me. I feel peaceful. I feel this sense of strength and energy returned and renewed. It has really refreshed my motivation to prioritize myself and to make my health one of the first things in my life. Monica

Questions you might have

What if I come alone? Will I feel awkward? + -

Many of our guests come solo, but by the end of the week, strangers become friends. People bond over meals, on trails, and in conversation. You may even leave with shared phone numbers and plans to reunite. Silver Hills is a community, not just a program.

I’m not vegan. Will I enjoy the food? + -

Absolutely. Many guests arrive not sure — and leave astounded. Our kitchen creates gourmet plant-based meals using quality produce from our own garden (when in season). As one guest told us: “I had a bias against vegan food. My mind is completely changed. I am absolutely astounded at the quality and deliciousness.” You won’t leave hungry, and you’ll go home with recipes you’ll actually want to make.

Is this a religious event? + -

It’s a health retreat, open to everyone. Our foundation is eight natural health principles taught here for 40 years. Dr. Seheult also explores, for those interested, where cutting-edge science meets faith — and there’s an optional daily morning inspiration slot. Nothing is required, and guests of every background are welcome, exactly as they are.

Can I really afford to take a whole week off? + -

We understand. But consider this: how much are your health concerns already costing you — in energy, sleep, and quality of life? A week at Silver Hills is an investment in the foundation everything else is built on. Many guests tell us it’s transformative for them.

Is this evidence-based, or just another wellness trend? + -

Yes, it’s evidence-based. Our foundation is eight natural health principles used by lifestyle-medicine programs worldwide. Dr. Seheult is a quadruple board-certified physician and founder of MedCram, the medical-education platform trusted by over a million learners and used in hospitals and medical schools. He teaches from current, published research — science you can verify.
