As Travel Starts Reopening, Tips From A "Concierge Wellness Doctor"

In a typical year before the pandemic, Jonathan Leary logged up to 150,000 miles in the air, shuttling regularly between New York and California, as well as making frequent trips to Europe.

A self-described "concierge wellness doctor," Jonathan Leary founded Remedy Place in West Hollywood, California, two years ago. It's a 5,000-square-foot private members' club that's part Soho House, part New Age spa, at which Leary and his team offer everything from infrared sauna suites and cryotherapy to guided ice baths, combining traditional medicine with holistic practices. Leary, who is not a medical doctor but holds a doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and Alternative Medicine from the Southern California University of Health Sciences, believes the blend contributes significantly to overall health. And pro athletes and such entertainment industry clients as Shaun White, Kacey Musgraves, and Nicole Scherzinger, who are clients, agree. He's about to launch a new podcast to promote his theories and the practice, Remedy Voice.

In a typical year before the pandemic, he logged up to 150,000 miles in the air, shuttling regularly between New York and California, as well as making frequent trips to Europe. He's matter-of-fact about his approach to hopping on a plane during the Covid-19 era: "My routine is pretty similar [to before] in the sense that I always know that there's nothing that I can do to limit my exposure to the bacteria and the viruses out there," Leary says, "The only thing that I really have control over is my health and my internal defense system, so I just make sure that my diet is super clean."

He lives in West Hollywood. Here are his travel and wellness trips, learned from a career of practice and personal experience.

Leary always advises patients to load up on one vitamin before they travel.
