Alonzo is taking me through my Bio Med Scan data – collected through a German-built diagnostics tool using a pulse monitor, similar to an electrocardiogram, or ECG, worn on my wrists for 15 minutes. It has analysed the intervals between my heartbeats to amass information about my autonomic nervous system, which regulates such things as hormone production, energy levels, my “psycho-emotional status”, and my biological age (which, to my astonishment, is three years younger than my actual age).

Next up is the live blood analysis. Dr Ron Bardonado siphons a pinprick of blood from my finger, inspects it under a microscope, and displays it on a high resolution screen. He points out my red blood cells are in a sticky, “rouleau” formation. This clumping together is an unhealthy sign, as the cells are not as free to carry and absorb oxygen.

There’s a heavy metals test, called an Oligo Scan. This non-invasive tool takes a “photograph” of four points of your palm. Chemicals present in the body each have a specific absorbance of light, through which the scan is able to detect and quantify those present. Most heavy metals tests take three weeks to return results, but The Farm’s spectrophotometry method allows for results within the day.

Many believe this is the future of health care – combining medical wellness checks with technology to indicate weak spots or vulnerabilities which might otherwise go unnoticed until too late. Put simply, it is preventive health care.

According to the Miami, Florida-based Global Wellness Institute, the demand for greater self-knowledge and “self-optimisation” is about to explode. “Assistive technology gives us a sixth sense,” it said in a recent report.

“In the future, [data] will be used to generate a 360-degree view of our person. Our data selfies will thus become more important than our reflections in the mirror.”

Cathy Feliciano-Chon, the co-chair of the institute’s Global Wellness Summit, adds: “We’ve been seeing the melding of ‘high touch/high tech’ for a few decades now.

Bio scans will increasingly become essential to the treatment of stress-related illnesses, says Dr Annie Akiyama of European Wellness, a company working in regenerative medicine which is partnered with The Farm, because patients aren’t always good at knowing what’s wrong with them.

Stressed patients are prescribed a frequency-based sound therapy called Rasha Scalar-Energy Morphogenetic Field treatment, which, in layman’s terms, is a device that emits frequencies the patient hears through headphones to calm down their nervous system.

Alternatively, they might be prescribed a round of Dolphin Microcurrent Treatment – electro microcurrents to balance the autonomic nervous system. Other alternative remedies are available, including electro-sleep therapy, Bio lux gem therapy (combining lights, crystals and semi-precious stones), hormone rebalancing and cell therapies.

While some of these treatments are available in Hong Kong and China, Alonzo says the difference is that when patients are found to be desperately stressed, The Farm can address it there and then.

I reflect on this as I walk back through the well-tended vegetable garden. Although The Farm has received dozens of accolades for its medical wellness in its 17 years of operation, including Best Medical Wellness Resort in the World, for the most part it feels anything but clinical.

Wild peacocks and chickens with feathery pantaloons roam freely. Mossy pathways lead to rocks, damply overgrown with vines. Back in the villa, the walls of the shower are home to a rambling orchid, and at night white-bellied geckos are silhouetted against a window.

Having data about the way your body works is fantastically helpful in the quest for health. But being able to spend time in this place so at one with nature must surely be half the battle.
