Those in my network who have had a conversation with me in the recent past, likely know that I am passionate about holistic health and how this impacts us at work, our leadership, and our ability to be the best version of ourselves in all aspects of life.

Initially I developed an interest in neuroscience and how this can be used in a professional development context; particularly as it applies to leadership; and I completed a course with the About my Brain Institute to become an i4 Neueroleader Trainer.
However, my true "light bulb" moment occurred about 1 year ago when I was watching a docuseries called "Broken Brain" and learned that sugar was was like pumping Roundup into my brain. I'm a knowledge worker, so my brain is pretty important to me....
I have also been a horrified bystander to my elderly mother gradually losing her cognitive abilities and have been trying to encourage her to take on board some of what I have learned in an effort to curtail the impact. But you can't control the choices others make; only educate and hope that they apply something that might make a difference.
As a result, I have become more and more interested in how a holistic approach to health can impact every aspect of our life, from how clear of mind we are, how resilient to set-backs, how effectively we can function, and how well we can show up for others in our life.
Today, I started watching the first in a 9-episode docuseries titled "The Human Longevity Project" and while it was a bit sciencey and heavy going in places, if you have given any thought to your health, that of your loved ones, and future of the human species, I encourage you to have a look.

My key take-away is that when it comes to our health, we choose...
"What we put in our mouths; when we move our body and how we move it; who we hang out with; how much sleep we get; and how we think about things around us"
