Okay, I was genuinely excited about this one!! 😊

So lovely to meet Dr Judith Joseph Dr. Judith Joseph MD MBA at the Health Optimisation Summit 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 .

I really connect with so much of what Judith talks about, especially women’s mental health, menopause, emotional wellbeing and the idea of reclaiming joy.

Her work on high-functioning depression really resonates with me. She talks about how we can become so good at functioning, achieving and being productive that we don’t always recognise what we’re losing along the way. In particular, she talks about anhedonia, when we lose our ability to really experience pleasure and joy, and how pathological productivity can keep us constantly doing rather than actually living.

I think that’s such an important conversation.

Health isn’t only about what we eat, how much we exercise or even how long we live. It’s also about how we actually feel while we’re living it.

Such a lovely woman and such a lovely moment. 🌿

taking a little break from volunteering duties… because Bear Grylls is on stage! 🐻⭐️

Having a brilliant time at the Health Optimisation Summit in London and I wasn’t going to miss the chance to catch Bear Grylls OBE

I’ve always been a fan, but seeing him live was awesome! 🤩 What struck me most was how relaxed, down-to-earth and genuinely connected to everyone in the room he was. No big ego on the bear, just warmth, humour, great stories and a refreshing attitude towards life, resilience and personal adventure.

Very much our kind of thinking at Life Longevity Zone: stay curious, keep challenging yourself and never stop pushing your limits.

LLZ officially in the zone at the Health Optimisation Summit! 💚

😨 A sign of our times…? We no longer have any will or even opportunity to go hungry for any length of time. Food is accessible from everywhere at any time and our children are suffering.

The Mediterranean diet was a blueprint for healthy living, yet Italian children are among the most overweight in Europe according to WHO.

Healthy begins within, then radiates outward.
Care for yourself like you plan to live long. 🌊🌿

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is unplug for a while… because almost everything starts working again when you do, including yourself.

Here Tina is taking a moment to reconnect with nature — grounding into the earth, soaking up the sea air and sunshine, slowing the nervous system down and creating space to breathe again. A little reset. A little recalibration.

Because when you take care of yourself first, you have so much more to give to the people around you. 💧
