Hi there, things are super busy on the Jeunessima side of life.?
Two weeks ago, I flew to San Diego to join the super-longevity conference RAADFest as official media partner.
And from RAADFest, I went straight to the Crypto Business Conference as I believe that we need to understand blockchain, crypto, Web3, Metaverse, NFTs, and more … to be well prepared for the time all of those hit mainstream (and yes, I love tech).
As usual, I have shared some of my key takeaways … on?InesODonovan?&?Jeunessima Twitter?and on?LinkedIn.
I’ll share some of them in this mail. For my top insights of each day, you might want to watch my super-short daily summaries (ca 3-5 minutes) …
RAADFest Video Summaries …
Here are some of the most interesting insights
If People Don’t Think You’re Crazy …
… you’re not thinking big enough.
That is the motto of Naveen Jain , CEO of Viome .
This is relevant for business … but also for your #longevity #mindset.
One of the things that came up all the time when I spoke with RAADFest attendees was that the people they’re surrounded with at home usually think that the idea of living significantly longer is crazy.
But … as with so many things, first people think pioneers and innovators are crazy … later on, they’re seen as geniuses for having been the first.
Who do you want to be? …?A pioneer or a laggard?
I guess a pioneer, as you probably wouldn’t read my tips otherwise ??
Thankfully, things are getting easier … and with the creation of the AgelessWomen.Community … we are building a community of women who are all passionate about health & longevity and who are determined to be the best they can be at any age … women who understand that living longer is no longer science fiction … It’s happening already.
William Faloon , Founder of Life Extension pointed out that we’re already ‘rewriting the rules of biology’.
Ray Kurzweil , one of the most prominent (and correct) futurists, predicts that within about 7-8 years, we should be able to practically halt the overall aging process (or, in longevity terms, achieve what’s called longevity escape velocity, where you can reverse you age by 1 year as you age 1 year).
And Michael West , CEO of AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. , who tends to be very conservative, expects that within the next 10-15 years, we should be able to rejuvenate cells in our body … with precision and to a desired state of youth.
7 Steps to Enjoying Your Donuts …
… or simply blocking glycation, so you can enjoy your #carbohydrates.
Dr Sandra Kaufmann is known to enjoy her donuts … but being a doctor, longevity expert, rock climber & having just published her 2nd book?The Kaufmann Protocol: Aging Solutions, she knows a thing or two about how to stay healthy and still enjoy life.
3 of the 7 steps involve drinking #coffee … so, maybe that’s something to start with. And, as we know, about 4 cups of coffee a day have shown other #health & longevity benefits.
Btw, Dr Kaufmann will lead the MasterClass ‘Are You Wasting Money on Supplements?’ in the?AgelessWomen.Community?in December.
Predict Any Cancer …
… with a new blood test.
This is one of the most exciting takeaways for me from RAADFest.
领英推荐
Ashish Tripathi , CEO of Tzar Labs , introduced a simple blood test that will be released first in India later this year and is being tested by the NHS in the UK.
Getting #cancer is a fear almost all of us have. And while the medical world has gotten better at treating cancers, being able to prevent them in the 1st place is the best solution.?
So, this new test is, in my eyes, a diagnosis revolution. It allows detecting all cancers, … at stage 0 (so, well before it forms a tumor). If there is cancer, Tzar Labs can say, which is the primary organ, the secondary, … And what makes it even more incredible: It can predict if you get cancer within the next year.?
So, getting a simple blood test once a year gives us total peace of mind: Either we know we won’t get cancer … or we catch any type of cancer so early, that we should be able to treat it before it turns into a tumor.

Stay Cool Even if Everything Seems to Go Wrong …
… Sometimes, everything seems to go wrong. This happened to me in the preparations for RAADFest … and I thought I share this with you as I’m definitely not the only one who goes through times like this. … So, …?
I had ordered flyers & banners for the Jeunessima booth before I left for the US, but my wall banner didn’t arrive despite ordering it early.?
When traveling to San Diego, the gate in London Heathrow was still occupied by another plane, so I missed my connection and had to be re-routed … via Phoenix, where we had to circle for 1 ? hours because it was too stormy to land, and then on to San Diego, where the pilot had to take off again at the last second as another plane had to make an emergency landing.
In the end, I arrived 6 hours late … and my bag that had all my flyers, banner stand, and all my clothes … arrived another 2 ? days later … without being able to track it until then.
That created a massive amount of stress as I had to get clothes, redesign flyers & banners to US sizes & find a printer to get it all printed overnight, order all the necessary technical items, …
So, what can you do in situations like this?
There’s no point in getting upset & creating worst-case pictures in our heads (that usually don’t happen anyway).
With that type of stress, we cannot think clearly, and therefore making decisions becomes more difficult.
So, even if it might seem challenging, try doing something that you can fully enjoy, that helps you to distance yourself from the issue. I personally like hypnosis/meditation like the one from?BrainTap, as the spoken words distract me, and the music stimulates relaxing brainwaves.
After that, think about potential alternatives. Sometimes, not getting what we want actually opens up an opportunity to come up with more creative & innovative ways that can be better than our original plan.
And if there are still things that don’t go your way (which is what happened to me), think about the worst impact that not having everything perfectly could have. Write it down. And then look at it. Just writing it down lets us often realize how ridiculous our way of thinking is. … And that will free you in many ways … and it will let you enjoy the actual experience more (which will also help to attract more of the people and things you want in life).
Quote of the Week …
If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content?-?Leo Tolstoy
Have fun … stay young,
