Connected curiosities - The one about self-conscious healthy living

Those who know me say that without the adequate dose of exercise this sporty spice ?? ?? becomes a grumpy lady. Yes, I am aware of body, mind & soul. Slipping once on a trail that I made too slippery myself taught me a lot. And of course, hopping on tram 4 has brought me more self-awareness. ??

At nexxworks I put my shoulders under the Future of Health topic in the fall of 2022. Lucky me spoke to a number of thought leaders Lucien Engelen , Servaas Bingé , Nico De fauw , Ann Van Gysel , Christophe Jauquet … Unisono they discussed the importance of the shift from #curative to #preventive #healthcare and how every company can support this in its business. Despite the fact that I no longer dig deep into this topic, a healthy (punintended) curiosity has been sharpened to read everything I can find. ?

For example, I recently followed GRAM 's webinar, where I learned that great companies, great leaders and remarkable sports teams have a lot in common. They approach their challenges on a different level of conscience than the level that created them (inspired by Einstein ??). Whether you are an outperformer on a physical level or on a cognitive level, from a #neurobiological perspective we use the same system. You equally need all facets (sleep, nutrition, physical & brain activity, time) to be able to peak at 1 dimension. On the other hand, there is a lot to learn from #behavioralscience. When you approach your challenge from your identity, from what you believe, the shift will be different than if you only work on the result, the outcome. I know I'm continuously repeating in my posts the difference between acting on behaviour versus belief, but hé it's a great #takeaway. Thank you Mathieu Gram & Loick Luypaert for the great webinar!

I also had the chance to visit leadlife , thx Jelle Van De Velde ???? & Els Peeters for welcoming me! Leadlife helps people optimize their lifestyle and wellbeing. I looked with wide eyes how all elements were together: Blood test, DNA test, DXA scan, ECG, spirometry, sports tests... leading to insights on nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep and more. As a datalover, I was very close to the 'I buy' button. And then the self-awareness of the price kicked in. Am I willing to spend more than 1000 € for this? Yes, no, yes, no… The pendulum has not yet stopped in my head. In fact, I learned that the price tag is not Leadlife's engineering. It is the system pampering us. When we have these tests for medical, curative reasons, they cost the same, but as a sick person we pay only a fraction of the cost. The luxurious support from our government in the event of illness makes the price perception of these tests low. Is that the takeaway? That those who want to treat themselves in a preventive & consciously healthy way must be quite wealthy?

Any way, I am happy AE , my new employer, is putting Health & Sport on the radar for its employees. I am able to put some babysteps in the datadriven direction with a great opportunity: as an employee I can invest (partially sponsored by the employer) in a Energyscan via Golazo Energy . The end game is the ambition to achieve the label of Sports company of Flanders and a grab for the award of Best Sports Company!
