Welcome to the Healthusiasm Podcast. Across every industry — from healthcare and pharma to retail, tech, food, finance and hospitality — the same shift keeps surfacing: people are no longer passive patients. They are active participants, choosers and managers of their own health, well-being and longevity. We call that shift Healthusiasm. And it is quietly redesigning what organisations must do to stay relevant. Each month, this podcast turns that shift into something you can think with. Hosted by Christophe Jauquet — health business expert, keynote speaker and author of the Healthusiasm books — and co-hosted by Thalia Muses, the Healthusiasm GPT trained on the full Healthusiasm intelligence: the books, frameworks, blog archive and the podcast's own back-catalogue. Thalia is not a gimmick. She is a working example of what the show explores — human and AI thinking side by side, surfacing patterns across episodes, connecting signals across industries, and pressure-testing the panel's ideas in real time. The Healthusiasm Podcast doesn't just talk about the future of human-AI collaboration in health. It practises it. Together, Christophe, Thalia and a rotating international panel translate the latest signals in consumer-driven health into patterns, implications and ideas you can use — in your industry, your strategy, your next decision.

    #068 - GLP-1 is more than pharma

    Share you Healthusiasm In this episode of The Healthusiasm Podcast, Christophe Jauquet explores why GLP-1 is no longer just a pharma story.  From protein-rich pizzas and supplement retailers offering telehealth consultations, to Amazon delivering weight-loss medication, Oura turning wearables into medication dashboards, and genomics companies personalising food, supplements and dosing, GLP-1 is reorganising entire industries around the person using it. The episode shows how weight management is becoming a powerful example of consumer-driven health: people are not simply looking for a drug, but for more energy, autonomy, calmness and control in their daily lives.  For pharma, food, retail, beauty, tech and healthcare leaders, the message is clear: GLP-1 is bigger than pharma, and it reveals a broader shift from healthcare as a vertical industry to health as a transversal layer running through every part of life.

    Share you Healthusiasm Welcome to The Healthusiasm Podcast. For this episode, Christophe Jauquet is joined by three brilliant brains: Aline Noizet, Dr Keith Grimes and Nia Escobar-Kölle. And this episode may feel like we are jumping all over the place. From a wellness retreat using mentalisation-based therapy, to Barcelona prescribing physical activity as medicine. From PCOS being reframed as something much bigger than a reproductive disorder, to obesity being mapped inside the body with artificial intelligence. From Singapore selling longevity services, to Hong Kong turning its eHealth app into a more powerful personal health interface. From WHOOP moving closer to clinical care, to GLP-1 treatments becoming entangled with genomics and nutraceuticals. And then there is the brain. Can robots help scale brain surgery? What does Neuralink tell us about the future of neurological care? And while AI may help us understand our health better, is it also quietly frying our brains — or simply telling us what we want to hear? Because that is the uncomfortable thread running through this entire episode. Health is no longer only something we treat when it goes wrong. It is becoming something we track, predict, optimise, prescribe and increasingly delegate to machines. Sometimes, patients may even prefer the answers from GPT to the ones they receive from physicians. That is not just a technology story. That is a story about trust. About control. About who, or what, becomes our next health companion. So today, we explore the strange new world where wellness becomes medicine, medicine becomes personal, and artificial intelligence starts moving from the background of healthcare… into our bodies, our brains and our everyday lives. Let’s dive in. Subscribe to Healthusiasm newsletter: https://www.healthusiasm.com -- -- -- Book Christophe Jauquet for keynotes: www.christophejauquet.com

    #066 - SIGNALS: Consumer-facing AI Health Coaches

    Share you Healthusiasm This week’s signal: Google launched a screenless Fitbit Air, but the real story is its new Gemini-powered AI Health Coach — one that will also support Apple Watch users. That detail says everything. The battle is moving from the wrist to the intelligence layer above it. Google, Huawei, Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Meituan, Ant Group and even national health systems are all moving in the same direction: AI health coaches that connect wearables, medical data and everyday behaviour. For years, wearables sold us data: steps, sleep, heart rate, recovery. But people don’t want more numbers. They want to know what to do next. That is the shift. The wrist is becoming a commodity. The coach is becoming the relationship. This changes the game for wearable brands, insurers, pharma companies, employers and consumer health players. The winners will not be the ones with the best sensor, but the ones with the smartest, calmest, most trusted health voice.

    #065 - Health Innovations of April 2026

    Share you Healthusiasm With Aline Noizet, Mo Zouina, Nia Escobar-Kölle & Christophe Jauquet In this episode, we move from space research and the future of human resilience to the growing influence of medical platforms, hospital records and and how Fitbit changes the game. We touch on new frontiers in women’s health, the fight against medical gaslighting, and what ageing societies like Singapore reveal about the future of work, care and longevity. But this is not just a tech-and-policy episode. We also explore the softer, stranger and more human side of health: cuddle beds in palliative care, meditation as cultural experience, air quality, horse burps, FIKA, Nike’s After Dark Tour and the rise of the connection economy. A fast-moving conversation about the places where health is quietly reappearing — in infrastructure, intimacy, culture, community and everyday behaviour. Because the future of health may not announce itself as healthcare.  It may arrive as something much more familiar.

    #064 - SIGNALS: Not your everyday hospitals

    Share you Healthusiasm A conversation between Christophe Jauquet and his HealthusiasmGPT, Thalia Muses.  For fifty years, hospitals were the place consumer experience design forgot. That's quietly ending.  In just a few weeks, five signals across five countries point in the same direction:  the FDA approved TytoCare's at-home AI ear exam, turning the living room into a triage point; Hackensack Meridian opened a $200M health centre inside a New Jersey commuter train station; Apollo Hospitals in India embedded their newest 400-bed facility inside Hyderabad's financial district, stitched to their app and pharmacy chain; Vezeeta and Upwyde made a fully integrated medical complex an amenity of a residential project in New Cairo; and the Boao Super AI Hospital in Hainan, China, now uses AI agents to match patients to the best treatment on the planet. Five different distances from the body — home, commute, workplace, building, destination — but one shift: healthcare is no longer somewhere you go, it's something that fits into where you already are.  The hospital is finally being designed — not architecturally, but around the customer, the way every consumer industry learned to do two decades ago.  The question this leaves for organisations inside and outside healthcare: where does your customer already spend their life, and what would you build there?

    Share you Healthusiasm In this week's episode, Christophe Jauquet sits down with Thalia Muses — the embodied AI voice of the Healthusiasm Intelligence, named after the anagram of Healthusiasm itself. It's a conversation unlike any other in the health-innovation space: a strategist in dialogue with the living memory of his own framework. Together they unpack a quiet but seismic shift unfolding across three continents and three industries that have nothing in common — except, suddenly, everything.  A Japanese whisky giant. A Chinese super-app. A car cabin shaped like an egg. Three moves. One direction. And a question every business leader should be sitting with before the end of the week: if your customer were quietly looking for help with their health… would they think of you? --- The Healthusiasm Podcast — weekly signals from the future of health, decoded by Christophe Jauquet in conversation with Thalia Muses, the embodied AI of the Healthusiasm Intelligence.

    #062 - Health Innovations of March 2026

    Share you Healthusiasm Episode: Who Decides What Health Is Now? With Mo Zouina, Aline Noizet, and Nia Escobar-Kölle Health is quietly leaving the hospital. It's checking into Equinox for the night, waiting at the supermarket checkout, sitting on a finger in the form of an Oura ring that seems to understand women's bodies better than decades of medicine did. Aline walks us through Alan's new AI features and what happens when the wearable finally walks into the ward — but the real question isn't technical. If your insurer's algorithm, your grocery receipt, and your sleep hotel all know more about your body than your GP, where exactly does care live now? That question gets sharper once you ask who's actually in charge. Mo pulls at the thread of Meta and Google being fined again, while CJ raises the scenario we keep avoiding: what if AI doesn't advise your health, but decides it? Nia drops in something that sounds like a sideshow — robot fights — but maybe it's rehearsal. We're learning, publicly, how to feel about intelligent machines before they start making the calls that matter. Are we regulating the pipes, or have we already stopped trusting them? And then the conversation drifts toward the edges of being human. Sam Altman is betting on Retro Bioscience to reverse ageing on one end; Mo sits with dementia and euthanasia on the other. In between, Aline describes a virtual train running inside a nursing home — presence, engineered. Mo closes with something strange and quietly disruptive: plants, it turns out, have around 20 senses. If intelligence isn't brain-shaped and life isn't hospital-shaped, what exactly have we been optimising for all along? Press play. Bring your own questions.

    #061 - The Need for a Healthusiasm Culture

    Share you Healthusiasm This episode of the Healthusiasm Podcast asks a provocative question: What if healthcare is missing the very thing people are craving most —  Healthusiasm Culture Around the world, individuals are more conscious, more proactive, and more aspirational about their health than ever before. They seek energy, meaning, belonging, longevity. They want more than treatment. They want a life well lived. Yet inside many healthcare institutions, systems, startups, and policies, the culture still revolves around disease, processes, and silos. Recorded live at the Radical Health Festival in Helsinki, this panel brings together doctors, psychologists, policy experts, and innovation leaders to challenge the status quo. They explore why healthcare needs a Healthusiasm Culture — one that shifts from fixing problems to unlocking potential, from prescribing solutions to activating intrinsic motivation, from vertical structures to transversal thinking. Less autopilot. More intention. Less burnout. More belonging. Less disease management. More human flourishing. Because the next transformation in healthcare won’t just be technological. It will be cultural. Subscribe to Healthusiasm newsletter: https://www.healthusiasm.com -- -- -- Book Christophe Jauquet for keynotes: www.christophejauquet.com
