Where Do You Want to Live: The Right Mindset for Menopause (Reframing the Conversation for People)
Stacy London, CEO, State of Menopause; Media Maven; TV personality, US
Stacy explains how she had no concept of what menopause was, even thinking it was optional. Not knowing what to expect, many symptoms were attributed to a surgery and subsequent recovery. The anxiety and rage Stacy felt had no apparent explanation.
Stacy was told by her trusted doctor, “It’s menopause, you’ll get through it.” She explains her symptoms by asking us to imagine standing in the middle of a four lane highway of hot, tired, sad, and grumpy with the ‘truck’ of menopause heading right towards you. What if you knew more about that truck? What’s in it, how fast is it going, what color is it? Information is the key.
As some women are not able to use hormones that help with the symptoms, what alternative do they have? Stacy’s brand, State of Menopause, provides solutions to help with all 34 symptoms. Women between 45 and 60 are now healthier, wealthier and more empowered than ever before. In 36 months there will be 1 billion women in menopause on the planet – they need help and information.
Reinventing Time
Mickey Beyer-Clausen, Co-Founder & CEO, Timeshifter, US
Having successfully used Timeshifter to avoid any jet lag in 2019 when GWS was held in Singapore, I was excited to hear that the company is now turning its attention to helping people manage their circadian rhythms in day to day life, regardless of travel.

Cured: How to Heal Your Life
Jeffrey Rediger, MD, MDiv, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School; author of: Cured: Strengthen Your Immune System and Heal Your Life
Studying unexpected recovery from incurable illness, it became clear that major, identifiable shifts in lifestyle and perception occurred, no one was asking the right questions. Up to 90% of the illnesses that are considered incurable, are in fact lifestyle related and can be cured!
Learning how to heal trauma and how to say no (to unhealthy choices), prevents your body from eventually having to say no for you.
Disrupting Senior Living
Chip Conley, Founder, Modern Elder Academy, US
How much of your adult life is still ahead of you? Purpose, wellness and community are what people need the most after 50, a regenerative community was created in Baja California, selling out 26 homes in just a couple of weeks. The next development will be near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Senior living is currently in a state of complacency, the industry is not adapting to their customers and is somewhat clueless to the impending trends. The growing desire for intentional communities means that this trend is about to go mainstream. Intergenerational regenerative communities provide an alternative very much in demand.

Storytelling in Communities of Color
Nicola Finley, Integrative Physician, US
The power of storytelling builds trust and helps to sustain behavior changes. In communities of color, storytelling can be effective in promoting change where medical mistrust has been an issue. For example, beliefs like ‘being skinny means people are sick or have AIDS’ can be challenged in African nations.

Economic Impact of Investing in Women’s Health
Carolee Lee, CEO & Founder, WHAM (Women’s Health Access Matters), US
Women’s health access is an economic issue we cannot afford to ignore. Women are 50% of the workforce, control 60% of the wealth, are responsible for 85% of spending and make 80% of healthcare decisions. Women are under-represented in clinical research, despite often suffering more than men for the illness being researched. Increasing the research funding just slightly has massive returns to the economic wealth generated.
