    Wellness trends, the Global Wellness Summit in TA, beating jet-lag and the Dalai Lama

    We were thrilled to have in our studio the two amazing thought leaders who are bringing the Global Wellness Summit for the 1st time to the Middle East and specifically to Tel Aviv in October 2022: Susie Ellis and Nancy Davis. We discussed the challenges of bringing this luxurious summit to Israel and how Welltech Ventures became a leading sponsor and partner of the event. We heard from them about the latest global trends in the wellness industry, as well as all the fascinating things to look forward to in this year’s summit. We learned how innovation has lately massively interacted with wellness and how it will be showcased during the summit. Susie & Nancy told us about their personal self-care routines, and their one-word definition of wellness (not the same word from Nancy & Susie!). We also talked about the Dalai Lama, the king of Morocco, and the surprising way in which COVID led to the medical establishment finally giving the wellness field the respect it deserved. As a bonus, our globe-trotting guests told us about the startup that changed their life by implementing NASA technology to solve the always annoying problem of jet-lag. We hope you Enjoy this episode!
