About
I was the patient. At thirty I was 56.7 kilos at 182 centimetres, two surgeries in, being told diet and lifestyle wouldn't change anything. I spent the next thirteen years measuring whether that was true. Blood panels, genetic testing, a daily written record. That gives me two things most health speakers don't have. Thirteen years of my own longitudinal data rather than a stack of studies I read. And a list of everything that didn't work, which I'm happy to go through on stage. I run Sleep Improvers and Get Body Data, so I'm doing these tests on founders and executives every week. The material is current, not a story about something I did once. I won't sell a protocol from your stage. The clinical side of my company is handled by a licensed doctor, and I'm careful about where my expertise ends.

Most people know they sleep badly. Almost nobody knows which part of their evening is causing it. This session walks through the four levers that decide how you sleep tonight: caffeine, food, screens and light, and the timing that makes each one matter. It's built on peer-reviewed research and structured as a countdown people can remember without notes. Attendees leave with a written wind-down they can run the same evening, and a way to tell within two weeks whether it's working. No supplements, no devices, nothing to buy. I also cover what to do on the nights it falls apart, because a protocol that only works on a perfect Tuesday is not a protocol.
Key Takeaways
- For most people, it's almost a guarantee of better sleep and recovery. The four levers that decide how you sleep tonight, and the exact timing that makes each one work. A written wind-down you can run this evening, built around your actual schedule rather than an ideal one. How to tell within two weeks whether a change is working, instead of guessing. What to do on the nights it falls apart, because a routine that only survives a perfect Tuesday is not a routine.
Audience
Corporate teams, leadership groups, founders and anyone working long or irregular hours. No prior knowledge needed.

Sleep is treated as the thing you fix after diet, training and stress. It's the thing that decides whether any of those work. This keynote covers what happens inside the body when sleep breaks down: what changes in metabolism, hormones, immune function, mood and recovery, and how quickly. It draws on clinical sleep research and on thirteen years of my own biomarker data after a Crohn's diagnosis. The talk makes one argument. If your sleep is off, everything downstream of it is compromised, and most people are spending money and effort on the downstream problems. Audiences leave able to explain to someone else why sleep sits first, and with three changes that require no budget.
Key Takeaways
- What breaks first when sleep goes, and how fast. Metabolism, hormones, immune function, mood and recovery, in order. Why sleep sits ahead of diet and training rather than after them. Three changes that cost nothing and can start tonight. Enough understanding to explain the argument to someone else, which is the test of whether a talk landed.
Audience
Conference and summit audiences, corporate wellbeing programmes, leadership offsites, healthcare and HR professionals.
Duration
45-60 minutes
At thirty I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Two surgeries, months without solid food, 56.7 kilos at 182 centimetres. A doctor told me diet and lifestyle would not change anything. I spent the next thirteen years measuring whether that was true. Blood panels, genetic testing, food intolerance testing, and a written record of every day. This talk is what the data showed. Which tests changed a decision and which were expensive noise. What actually moved and how long it took. And the uncomfortable part, which is that the two markers I could reliably fix had the least to do with the disease itself. I run a testing company, so I have a commercial interest in people finding this interesting. I say that on stage, and then I spend a good part of the talk on the things that did not work.
Key Takeaways
- Which tests changed a decision I made, and which ones I paid for repeatedly and learned nothing from. How long each marker actually takes to move. Some take three months. Some take six. Retesting too early makes a working change look like a failed one. Why "I feel better" is weak evidence, and what to use instead. The attribution problem: when you change five things at once and something improves, you have learned almost nothing about which one did it.
Audience
Founder and executive audiences, private clubs, health summits, patient and IBD communities, and anyone interested in self-measurement done honestly.
