Guest Bio:
Dr. Gillian Lockitch is an author, researcher, teacher, journalist and international speaker. She is a dual certified Specialist physician and medical professor emerita at the University of British Columbia. During her 25 year academic medical practice, her research focused on medical biochemistry, nutrition and genetics. She authored 57 peer reviewed publications, 14 book chapters, and spoke at international conferences throughout Asia, Europe and North America. She received the 1998 YWCA Woman of Distinction award for Science and Technology. On retirement she switched her focus from science to the arts, and established a second career writing online about theater, food, wine and the arts. She writes travel blogs on her ballroom dance cruising around the world. A chance encounter on an assignment to review a health and wellness trade show sent her career on a third trajectory when she encountered a company with an innovative genetic science-based focus on health and beauty, promoting healthy aging through applied epigenetics. After extensive research into the scientific, financial and philanthropic practices of the company, she launched her third career as a network entrepreneur, helping people to age youthfully from both inside out and outside in. A renaissance woman with a  passion for understanding leading edge science coupled with decades of writing about international arts and culture, Gillian Lockitch is uniquely positioned to accomplish her dream of helping all people age youthfully and achieve financial freedom and their lifestyle goals.
