“Our planetary house is on fire, and so is our body.

This internal personal energy crisis is not just metaphorical, but biologically literal. Levels of cellular inflammation in our body are at an all-time high, fueling sky-rocketing rates of physical and mental disease globally. Inflammation is the body’s natural immune response to imbalances in our exposome (all our internal and external systemic exposures including physical, mental, emotional, social and environmental).

Cellular inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction influence our decision-making, making us impulsive, stuck in old patterns of thinking and doing, and resorting to short-termism. These decisions - as individuals, consumers, business and leaders - then feed back into the exposome as imbalances in the systems we build around us. 

It’s not hard to see why we are not moving at the speed and scale required to solve our wellbeing, workplace and ecological challenges.

In a moment of crisis – and we live in an age of polycrisis – we can’t outrun our biology.

The good news is that we can use our biology to work for us, not against us, as a powerful lever to intervene and shift the system towards wellbeing for all on a stable planet.

It’s time for a new story: by starting with, and optimizing our lifestyle and cellular health, we can lower inflammation, prevent disease and make better decisions for ourselves, business and planet.

It’s time to take our power back. It’s time to be systematically well.”
