    How EDM Music, Group Movement, and Joy Scores Unlock Longevity w/Tina Woods (Ep. 91)

    Are you a founder, real estate/finance professional, or any high performer who loves a good EDM rave and has a feeling that it might actually be good for your health? Meet Tina Woods, Europe’s viral longevity rave DJ, entrepreneur, researcher, and the founder and CEO of Collider Health, where she brings together science, technology, investment, and policy to rethink how we approach health and longevity. Here's what you'll gain from this conversation: Why dancing with strangers and friends at 130 BPM may actually synchronize your heartbeat and create a deeper sense of connection. How Tina’s leap of faith at age 53 completely changed the trajectory of her life and led her toward some of her most meaningful work. Why joy and hope may be some of the most under-researched and underfunded longevity interventions, and what Tina’s JoyScore experiment is doing to measure their impact. What Spain and other Blue Zone cultures may teach us about the connection between joy, community, and living longer, healthier lives.  Get present and get ready as we kick off the episode with a defining moment that changed the trajectory of Tina’s life. And if this conversation has you thinking that health, longevity, connection, and having more fun should actually be part of the way we live and work, you’ll want to join us at LUM Fest on November 21, hosted by Level Up Mortgages. We’re bringing together founders, entrepreneurs, real estate and finance professionals, consultants, and high performers for an evening built around connection, community, music, and having a great time.
