Welcome to Global Wellness Conversations

There’s really only one person we could talk to for the first episode of this show: Susie Ellis, Chairman/CEO of the Global Wellness Summit and the Global Wellness Institute. She was instrumental in creating the Global Wellness Summit, and her passion for this industry has been inspiring everyone who has worked on or attended the summit over the past 13 years.

Susie shares the origin story of both the Global Wellness Summit and the Global Wellness Institute — and how the entire health and wellness industry has transformed before our eyes over the past decade.

Meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Seeing marginalized medical practitioners cry with joy after the healing modalities they practice were scientifically validated. When our community started to harness the power of the $4.2 TRILLION wellness economy: it’s all in there, plus so much more.

1. The Origins of Global Wellness - with Susie Ellis from Global Wellness Institute

Mickey Beyer-Clausen is the Co-Founder and CEO of Timeshifter, a new jet lag app that’s getting a lot of buzz.

If you’ve ever travelled internationally, or even just across a few timezones, you’ve probably experienced jet lag... and you’ve probably been given advice for how to avoid it. But chances are, you’re being sold a false bill of goods.

Because, like diets, there is no one-size-fits-all jet lag solution. Each person and trip is different, which is why Timeshifter takes your sleep pattern, chronotype, itinerary, and a range of personal preferences into account. A lot of those attending the Global Wellness Summit were using it and it really makes a huge difference — and it’s fun!

So, in this episode, Mickey busts some of the common jet lag myths and explains some of the neuroscience behind the app, plus a hot tip on how you can go out and party on Friday night without screwing over your whole sleep schedule.

2. How to Avoid Jet Lag (and why everything you know about jet lag is wrong) - with Mickey Beyer-Clausen from Timeshifter

There are 40 trillion microbes in your gut (that’s more than all of the humans on 5,000 earths, combined). They live inside our gut and they produce millions of genes — and, somehow, we’ve been not just ignoring them but waging a war against them for decades!

That’s why Naveen Jain founded Viome, the only company in the world that can tell you what those microbes in your gut are producing, what foods are good for you, and why. 

This is a product of Naveen’s obsession with creating a world where sickness is a choice — and after hearing him talk about his vision of the future, we think you’ll start to see that this future isn’t so far away.
