Tom Wuerden
Co-founder · Physical Performance & Nutrition Lead
Runs the Day 1 and Day 6 physical assessments (VO2max, body composition, grip strength, blood pressure), scales the strength training, and delivers your 1-on-1 physical strategy.
Read Tom’s essays →Lisa and Tom grew up around Lake Constance, in one of Europe’s densest clusters of clinics, where health was something you went to repair, never something you built ahead of time. Atlas Cove is the other way round. Both built international careers, Lisa in commercial leadership, Tom in operations, finance and Ironman racing, before coming back to the same gap: longevity is full of science and short on places that actually do it.
The Team
Support Throughout Your Residency
On site, all week
One team. One guest list.
Our specialists work alongside your hosts all week, so every session, meal and recovery treatment is delivered with the same care.
Movement & Yoga Specialist
Guides daily yoga, mobility and outdoor recovery movement, scaled to each guest.
On-Site Culinary Team
Cooks fresh, nutrient-dense meals daily, built for metabolic health.
The system
The same team, all week.
The people who measure you on day one are beside you on day six. One method guides them: your baseline becomes one protocol, built together and held together.
Named partners
Our Named Partners
A small, named group of partners, each chosen for what they do best: the estate, the sauna, the clinical layer and the products we work with. Nobody pays to be on this page. Where a link earns us a small commission, it says so.
Where you stay
Products we work with
Atlas Cove provides health strategy, lifestyle coaching and performance education. We are not medical doctors; we do not diagnose, practise clinical medicine or prescribe. Where a clinical need is identified, we gladly connect you with trusted medical specialists.

In Their Words
Anonymous · 30–39
“What struck me was how genuine it all felt. Lisa and her brother run the whole thing with real professionalism, attention to every detail, but you can tell they're doing it for the right reasons, and that comes through in the care. The energy was warm and connecting; the prepared questions helped us open up and be a little vulnerable with each other. I came for the approach, measured, evidence-led, good food, like-minded people, and left more motivated, clearer on my priorities, and paying daily attention to what actually gives me energy.”
