Hi GSD Leader! 👋 Communities around the world are growing faster than ever: new businesses, new restaurants, new faces everywhere you turn.

But here’s what most people don’t talk about: while growth is booming, health is quietly declining. Across the U.S. and globally, nearly 2 out of 3 adults are overweight or obese, 1 in 3 lives with high blood pressure, and mental health challenges are rising at alarming rates. Add in burnout, stress-related illness, and preventable chronic conditions, and the picture becomes clear: our health is in crisis.

And if you’re a business leader, remember this: for every $1 invested in employee wellness, companies save an average of $3 in healthcare costs.

For nearly two decades, I was one of those statistics. I ran on adrenaline, Coca-Cola, stress, and zero sleep while planning luxury weddings and events around the world. Then in 2021, COVID nearly killed me. Burnout, inflammation, stress, and exhaustion left me running my body like a computer or robot.

That moment became my wellness wake-up call. I realized something simple but powerful: health is the real wealth. We can always make more money, but without our health, we can’t help anyone. Sometimes not even ourselves.

Maybe you’ve felt it too…
The fatigue that lingers even after a “vacation.”
The stress that no supplement seems to fix.
The weight of always showing up for others while ignoring your own health.

When you, as a leader, put wellness first, everything can change.

💡 Team members follow by example
💡 Company culture improves
💡 Retention goes up, stress goes down
💡 And yes, profitability rises

Because a healthy leader builds healthy teams. And healthy teams build thriving businesses.

That’s why we started hosting GSD Wellness Events — immersive experiences designed to help leaders reset, recharge, and reconnect with their health.

At a recent event hosted in partnership with Next Health, we experienced firsthand how advanced biohacking therapies can unlock energy, sharpen focus, and support recovery in ways many people have never imagined. These are science-backed, longevity-focused solutions designed to address burnout at the root not just mask symptoms.

Next Health is a longevity hub built to help you look, feel, and perform at your best for decades to come. Their integrative approach goes far beyond traditional health services, offering advanced therapies like peptide optimization for cellular repair and hormone balance, stem cell therapy to support regeneration and healing, and plasma exchange designed to rejuvenate the body at its core. Paired with cutting-edge treatments like cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, red light, and IV vitamin drips, Next Health combines medical expertise with biohacking innovation to deliver personalized strategies that extend health span, not just lifespan.

I want to shine a light on a few first movers. Entrepreneurs, business owners, and friends who are making wellness non-negotiable and leading by example:

✨ Judy Karpinski, Founder of Luxe Nashville
✨ Brittany Shaheen, Founder of Sauvswim
✨ Alex Valley, Founder of Unity Wellness Co.
✨ Matthew Murray, Founder of Blaze n Chill
✨ Tianna Christiansen, Founder of Social Cake Marketing Agency
✨ Kristy Edwards, Founder of Neatly Balanced
✨ Dave Puncochar, Founder of Good Wood Nashville
✨ Michelle Sloan, Nurse Practitioner at EON Tennessee
✨ Jennifer Halverson, Founder of AdventureWorks
✨ Mandy Oakes, Director of Client Engagement & Marketing Coordinator at Manduu

These leaders showed up for themselves. And when a leader chooses wellness, that decision ripples outward to their families, their teams, and their clients/communities.

Here’s the bottom line: we need a new standard for how we gather. Events should recharge you, not drain you. They should put health and wellness at the center — not as an afterthought.

That’s exactly what the GSD Wellness Code is all about. If you’re tired of running on fumes, guessing what your body needs, or constantly putting yourself last, it might be time to do things differently.
