Nutrition Nest, an experiential kitchen and personalized nutrition clinic from longevity brand Preserve Life, opened in Douglasville in early October.

The first facility to open at the 1,200-acre health and wellness retreat, Nutrition Nest combines medical testing with culinary medicine, personalized nutrition, aesthetics, and food education.

According to Preserve Life Co-Founder Meena Mulpuri, Atlanta is the ideal location for the brand’s first U.S.-based retreat.

“We wanted a large parcel of land that can self-sustain, within an hour of an international airport and forests and lakes, and Douglasville checked all the boxes,” Mulpuri said.

Hands-on nutrition education

Nutrition Nest is a drop-in health and nutrition program, housed inside a 25,000-square-foot mass-timber building on the Preserve Life campus. The membership-based experience includes clinical diagnostics and food education led by a team of licensed physicians and nutritionists.

“This is a day program, similar to an executive health checkup,” Mulpuri said.

“You come for an hour or for half a day or a full day, whatever your time permits and your goals and condition requires, and you get support to go back and live your daily life,” she continued.

Visits start with diagnostics like body composition and advanced biomarker testing, followed by targeted recovery protocols like red light therapy.

Nutrition Nest facilities include experiential kitchen with chef-led cooking classes, a cafe with fresh-pressed juices and coffee, and a functional market stocked with groceries and nutritional supplements. Much of the food is sourced from an on-site, 150-acre organic farm and 50,000-square-foot organic greenhouse.

“Our goal is to make food fun, to make education the foundation of everything we teach here,” Mulpuri said.

What’s next for Preserve Life

Nutrition Nest is the first part of a larger-scale Preserve Life retreat slated to open in 2028. The private facility will include luxury sleep suites, longevity labs, and other high-end wellness facilities.

“We have been in the longevity and healthspan world for more than a decade now, and people are getting exhausted doing all the research themselves and going to experts in different locations,” Mulpuri said.

“Here, we are pioneering this concept of having everything under one roof,” she continued.
