Every leader carries a cost of capital. Very few know the terms.

Melinda spent more than three decades across capital, risk, technology and regulation, including CIO level roles within Fortune 500 companies. She knows what it means to decide under pressure in systems where responsibility is high and the margin for error is small. She also knows the cost. For years she did not see it in herself.

Then it found her. Lasenda came out of what followed, a human sustainability practice for founders, investors and leaders carrying sustained responsibility. Those years also reframed a question she had spent a career around professionally. How do we account for risk before the cost is visible?

Every serious institution prices its risks. The person holding them sits off the balance sheet.

That is where Melinda works. Her clients are the people making consequential decisions inside these systems. The work goes to the load they carry, the capacity they have left, and what it takes to restore it. She reaches what is driving all three rather than what is showing on the surface.

What sets the work apart is what happens afterwards. Melinda stays close to people beyond the immersive experience. The shift often arrives later, and she is there for it, so that it settles into how they live, decide and lead.

Lasenda works with private clients, family offices and organisations across London, New York, Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Melinda is New York born and London based.

Dr. Scott M. Martin is an interventional pain physician and regenerative medicine researcher with 26 years of clinical, research, and industry experience, focused on building the evidence base for non-narcotic and allogeneic therapies.

His work on Preleve, a non-narcotic analgesic alternative, drew litigation from pharmaceutical interests in 2017 — a fight that sharpened rather than deterred his commitment to safer options for chronic pain. In 2020 he co-founded Telehealth Clinical Evals, building the telemedicine infrastructure that opened the power wheelchair market to mobility-impaired patients; the company sold in 2025 for $3 million.

Since 2022 he has co-authored 15 peer-reviewed publications on regenerative therapies. As Chief Medical Officer of the Institute of Regenerative Education, he has secured IRB oversight for two studies, including the Real-World HCT/Ps Observational Registry. He advises five biotech firms, serves as an expert consultant in regenerative care litigation and state stem cell law, and is the author of Microdosing Motivation.

Brent Bruning is an international hand analyst, speaker, and founder of The Power in Your Hands. Over the past decade he has analysed more than 26,000 pairs of hands, developing a framework that uses the anatomy of the hand as a personalised visual map to facilitate conversations about stress adaptation, behavioural patterns, and personal development.

Brent has spent over 30 years integrating research from neuroscience, attachment theory, memory reconsolidation, evolutionary biology, and contemplative traditions into a practical coaching methodology known as The Shift. His work explores how early adaptive survival strategies — visible through the patterns in the hands — continue to influence health, relationships, leadership, and performance throughout adult life.

Brent's current research investigates whether stable anatomical features of the hand, including hand shape, palmar dermatoglyphics, and fingerprint patterns, can provide an accessible framework for discussing individual differences in behavioural tendencies and developmental strengths. Rather than serving as diagnostic tools, these observations are used to guide structured reflection and evidence-informed memory reconsolidation processes.

His work has been presented internationally at conferences in longevity, health optimisation, leadership, and personal development. Through workshops, clinical collaborations, and private consultations, Brent aims to bridge neuroscience with practical methods that help individuals recognise longstanding patterns of adaptation and develop greater psychological flexibility, resilience, and vitality.

At the Royal Society of Medicine, Brent will present "The Shift: Rewiring the Brain Through Memory Reconsolidation — Using the Hidden Map in Your Hands," exploring how personalised visual frameworks may support transformative conversations about stress, health, and human flourishing.

Dr Guy Hayward is Director of the British Pilgrimage Trust, which he co-founded in 2014 to promote "bring your own beliefs" pilgrimage in Britain. Since 2016 he has led guided pilgrimages, weaving in group singing of nature, folk and sacred songs, and co-authored Britain's Pilgrim Places. He holds a Cambridge PhD on how singing forms community.

Hayward also co-founded the Choral Evensong Trust with Rupert Sheldrake and is half of the comedy singing duo Bounder & Cad.

Liberty Mills brings a unique blend of science, compassion and straight-talking honesty to every client she works with. As a certified Integrative Health and Nutrition Coach, fertility expert and Amazon No.1 bestselling author of 360 Fertility, she has spent years helping hundreds of individuals and couples optimise their health before conception, throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Her work is rooted in one belief: fertility doesn't exist in isolation — it is a reflection of whole-body health. Rather than focusing on reproduction alone, Liberty takes an integrative approach, exploring the nutritional, hormonal, metabolic and lifestyle factors that influence fertility, pregnancy and long-term health. The result is personalised, evidence-based care that addresses the bigger picture, not just a single symptom. To her, unexplained infertility is simply unexplored.

Whether supporting couples preparing for pregnancy, women navigating hormonal changes, or individuals looking to improve their long-term health, Liberty makes complex science easy to understand and translates it into realistic, life-changing action. Her approach is evidence-based, deeply personalised and always focused on creating lasting health — not quick fixes.

Donal MacIntyre is an award-winning investigative journalist turned health-transformation advocate. After reversing his own pre-diabetic state under a medically supervised protocol, he has become a compelling public voice for metabolic medicine and longevity.

Bridging storytelling and science, Donal hosts Sacred Vitality 2026 as master of ceremonies, guiding the day and drawing out the insights that matter most.

Dr Federico Fedel's approach to medicine is rooted in his origins in the Dolomites, where he grew up surrounded by nature, fresh ingredients, and a culture of community, simplicity and quality — a foundation that shaped his belief that health is not merely the absence of disease, but the result of balance, environment and intentional living.

As he progressed through his medical training, Federico recognised the strengths and limitations of Western medicine: exceptional at treating acute, life-threatening problems, yet often insufficient for chronic, complex and lifestyle-driven conditions. This realisation led him to integrative frameworks, root-cause analysis and emerging longevity science, and to develop a holistic, systems-based model of care blending rigorous medical training with personalised optimisation strategies.

Today, Dr Fedel is known for looking beyond symptoms to build a complete picture of each patient's physiology, lifestyle and goals — combining advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, metabolic optimisation and evidence-based longevity interventions. His philosophy remains consistent: treat the root cause, not the surface; empower patients with understanding; and deliver care that is personalised, precise, and grounded in both science and humanity.

Dr Lizzie Almas trained in Ireland and completed her foundation medical training in England before diving into integrative and functional medicine. She is a Certified Practitioner of Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (USA). At Levitas Clinic, Lizzie serves as a Clinical Associate, focusing on root-cause diagnosis and holistic care.

Her specialisms include fertility optimisation (for those trying to conceive or awaiting IVF), hormonal balance (PMS, PCOS, endometriosis), and immune / gut health, particularly in cases of chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, and dysregulation. In her private practice, Lizzie works primarily with women's health, combining conventional medical training with functional testing, lifestyle medicine, and systems-based protocols.

She aims to address why symptoms occur rather than simply masking them, exploring interactions between genetics, environment, hormones, immunity, and gut health. When she's not caring for patients, Lizzie stays engaged with research and education, continually refining her approach and staying at the forefront of integrative medicine.

Dr Caitlin Scott is a medical doctor specializing in women's health and functional medicine. Drawing on her experience as both a clinician and a mother of three, she brings a compassionate, practical understanding of the pressures women face and the importance of proactive, personalized care. She holds a certificate in Functional Medicine and focuses on prevention and health optimization, integrating nutrition with evidence-informed functional approaches.

Caitlin has extensive experience in intravenous iron therapy and vitamin infusions for nutritional deficiencies, as well as body-identical hormone therapy to support patients across all life stages. She is a speaker on intravenous iron therapy, advocating for better recognition, diagnosis, and management of iron deficiency.

Passionate about health promotion, Caitlin has led courses helping new mothers navigate the physical, emotional, and social transition into motherhood, and she co-authored the book Holding Mama to widen access to this support. Her interests span the full spectrum of women's health, including menstrual cycle and menopause.

She has worked at Levitas Clinic for close to a decade and has grown and moved with it through its transition into one of the leading longevity clinics.

Dr James Goolnik is a dentist, author and founder of Optimal Dental Health in London, with more than 30 years of clinical experience. His work focuses on prevention, oral-systemic health and the growing understanding of how the mouth influences whole-body health, from inflammation and metabolic health to sleep, airway and cognitive wellbeing.

A former President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, James has trained extensively in biological dentistry and functional nutrition. He is passionate about moving dentistry beyond simply repairing teeth, instead identifying the factors driving disease and helping patients maintain their own teeth, health and vitality for as long as possible.

James is the author of Brush and Kick Sugar and regularly speaks on the role oral health can play in longevity and preventative medicine.

Dr Vijay Vendra Prakash is a GP and Medical Director of the Levitas Group, with a clinical focus on longevity, preventive medicine, sleep and cardio-metabolic health.

He is also working towards building and democratising high-quality preventive healthcare at scale in India through his venture partnerships.

Leyla Sertel is CEO of Youth & Earth, the science-backed longevity supplement brand, and co-founder and CEO of OptimallyMe, a full-stack integrative health platform that handles end-to-end diagnostic testing and turns the results into lasting behavioural change. Leyla has spent the last decade building and scaling startups from early traction to billion-dollar exits - growing international markets from the ground up at Quorum and leading FiscalNote’s EMEA enterprise growth ahead of its $1B+ IPO. Her move into health was personal: resolving a lifelong struggle with eczema taught her how much could shift by addressing underlying deficiencies and regulating the nervous system, an experience that led her to bring an operator’s playbook to wellness, and to pursue a degree in Integrative Nutritional Therapy alongside running both companies. She is on a mission to make evidence-led health accessible to everyone - not as a biohacker, but as a realist.

Tim Lodge is a Great Britain para-canoeist, mindset and wellbeing coach, and leader of Levitas One Community CIC. Born with severe congenital talipes, Tim underwent 22 operations by the age of ten and more than 60 anaesthetics throughout his life, living for decades with chronic pain and an increasing threat of amputation.

After more than two decades in the corporate world, Tim returned to canoeing at 41 and began an extraordinary second chapter in Paralympic sport. Now 54, he is the current European bronze medallist and ranked fourth in the world in para marathon canoeing, competing against athletes more than half his age. He is currently preparing to represent Great Britain at the World Championships in Argentina in October 2026.

Alongside his sporting journey, Tim worked with Dr Ash Kapoor at Levitas Clinic to address a deteriorating condition in his feet. Through fasting, cold-water therapy, shockwave treatment, targeted supplementation and plant medicine, alongside deeper work around emotional health, Tim radically changed his relationship with his body and the trajectory of his health — preventing his feet from amputation.

Today, Tim brings these experiences together through Tim Lodge Coaching, helping people better understand the connection between mind, body and life to improve health, resilience and performance. He is also involved with Levitas One Community CIC, bringing regenerative and accessible healthcare into communities, including coaching participants in the NoMAD pilot at the Samson Centre for MS.

Luke Olley is the Founder and CEO of Resonance Energy Wear, a UK-based company pioneering a new category of wearable technology focused on the relationship between energy, the human body, health and performance.

Luke's journey to founding Resonance is unconventional. He left school at 14 to pursue professional football, spending time within the academy systems at Millwall and QPR before a fractured pelvis brought that chapter of his life to an end. He later spent eight years as a professional gambler before moving into business and entrepreneurship.

The foundations for Resonance came from a much more personal place. The birth of his daughter, the stillness of lockdown and his father's diagnosis with Parkinson's led Luke to begin questioning his understanding of health, the human body, consciousness and the environment around us.

What started as a desire to understand and help his father developed into a wider journey of exploration spanning science, spirituality and human performance — ultimately leading to the creation of Resonance Energy Wear.

Resonance has developed a proprietary mineral-infusion technology incorporated into clothing and wearable products. The company is now building the scientific evidence behind the technology through independent research examining areas including autonomic nervous system responses, recovery, muscle function and physical performance.

For Luke, Resonance is about far more than building another clothing or performance brand. His ambition is to establish an entirely new category — using apparel as a delivery mechanism for technology and exploring its potential across health, recovery and human performance.

Today, Resonance is expanding its product range, scientific research programme and international presence, while working with athletes, practitioners and individuals from a wide range of backgrounds.

At the centre of Luke's vision remains the reason the journey began: to understand what is possible, leave no stone unturned, and build something capable of positively impacting people's lives.

Sarah has been on a personal health journey which has profoundly shaped her outlook on wellbeing, resilience and personal growth. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, she was diagnosed with a serious lung condition, and in May 2024 she was referred for a lung transplant assessment — a life-changing moment that prompted her to explore a range of complementary and holistic health approaches.

This led Sarah to embark on a functional medicine journey, working with specialists including Dr Kapoor, alongside practitioners in acupuncture and kinesiology. Through this experience, she achieved significant improvements in her health and wellbeing, to the extent that she is no longer undergoing assessment for a lung transplant.

Beyond the physical benefits, the journey introduced Sarah to opportunities, perspectives and experiences she would never otherwise have pursued. The lessons she learned have not only transformed her own life but have also positively influenced the wellbeing of her family. Sarah is passionate about sharing her experiences and insights with others, particularly those facing health challenges, in the hope of offering encouragement, inspiration and practical understanding from someone who has navigated a similar path.
