Whole in One Health (“W1”) was founded in 2020 to empower and inspire people to achieve better health. Our vision reimagines the roles that individuals, health care providers and researchers play. It is based on individuals, armed with their health data and personalized intelligent insights and tools, being the foundation of the new ecosystem.
The first tool we launched in August 2023 is Alz Meter, focused on brain health. We will launch the “W1 Member Platform” in 2024. Please join us on our journey as we strive to improve the health of humanity.
Founder & CEO
After 18 years as the CEO & CFO of a neuroscience research company, I saw many failures in Alzheimer's research and I wanted to change that. I’ll never forget the keynote speaker at an Alzheimer’s conference I attended 6 years ago. Her research showed that moderate exercise reduced cognitive decline. She said “If we could put exercise into a pill, we’d be billionaires.” That stuck with me. Not because the money, but because the lost opportunity to transform lives, because pills are what most people respond to.
And so I began my journey dreaming up a way to deliver that “therapy”, without a magic pill, to convey the many lifestyle choices that researchers estimate can prevent 40% of Alzheimer’s cases, and to find ways to help people institute those changes in their lives. We've named those lifestyle choices SLEDSS: Sleep, Learn, Exercise, Diet, Social interaction and Stress management.
I believe in people, in their ultimate desire to live happier, healthier lives, and that with personalized insights and coaching, they will take action to improve their lives.
