This talk is for leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs who want to increase focus, sustain energy, and perform at their best — without sacrificing health or happiness.
You Will Discover:
The science behind sleep and high performance
How quality sleep sets the foundation for a productive, focused day.How to beat the afternoon energy crash
Practical tips to maintain momentum and stay on top of your game.The power of a morning routine
How to set the tone each day for lasting energy and mental clarity.

True Health Care:
The Power of Complementary Medicine & Personal Choice
A New Paradigm in Primary Care: Exploring Natural Hygiene with Dr Sabatino
In this outstanding presentation, Dr Sabatino invites us on an informative and inspirational journey into a new primary care paradigm.
He will introduce the ‘Natural Hygiene’ model of healing, highlighting how this approach can successfully address both acute and chronic disease. He will also delve into the concept of energy and entropy within the damage hypothesis, exploring how these factors relate to the development of ill health.
Dr Sabatino will examine the crucial role of complementary care approaches and the supportive lifestyle choices that we, as practitioners, recognise as fundamental to removing obstacles to health and healing.
Finally, he will reflect on the evolving role of complementary and integrative practitioners as true healthcare providers — not merely managers or promoters of disease, as often seen in conventional models. This presentation will emphasise the essential part we play in preventing and reversing the array of global health crises.

Healthcare 4.0:
How We Get There
Mainstream health systems, dominated by the medico-industrial complex, are increasingly falling short across key health metrics. Despite their potential, nature-aligned approaches — including Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) — have struggled to gain traction, hindered by powerful vested interests that control information, education, funding, and policy.
Drawing on over four decades of experience in academia, non-profits, and consultancy, Dr Rob Verkerk offers a thought-provoking exploration of what a truly transformational model of healthcare could look like — one in which Big Pharma plays a supportive role, rather than holding the reins.
Healthcare 4.0 reclaims health as both a personal and societal asset. It champions individual empowerment, medical ethics, and the creation of a shared language that bridges disciplines and dismantles silos.
Rooted in nature’s intelligence, this model is holistic, preventive, and regenerative — viewing humans as complex, adaptive beings, continuously interacting with their environments. This inspiring and grounded talk paints a vision for a health system built on science, ethics, and deep respect for both human experience and the natural world.
Alliance for Natural Health
With a Master’s degree and PhD from Imperial College London, Dr Verkerk has been closely involved in quality assurance of natural products and has regularly acted as an expert in court cases. He is a fellow both of the American College of Nutrition and the Royal College of Medicine, as well as being Science Lead to the Scientific & Medical Panel of the Yes to Life cancer charity in the UK.
Forest Bathing
Latest Groundbreaking Research
“Forest Bathing” is the English translation of the Japanese term Shinrin-yoku, meaning quality time spent under a forest canopy for health and wellbeing. It involves mindful, unhurried walks through woodland, engaging all five senses to reconnect with nature.
The Forest Bathing Institute (TFBI) is at the forefront of research into the behavioural, physiological, and neural effects of forest bathing, collaborating with around 100 universities worldwide. This gentle practice helps calm the nervous system, allowing us to slow down and benefit from nature’s restorative power.
A growing body of compelling research — including studies by Dr Qing Li, TFBI’s Scientific Advisor — shows that forest bathing can significantly reduce blood pressure, lower stress, improve concentration and memory, lift symptoms of depression, increase energy levels, and strengthen the immune system.
Join TFBI Directors Gary Evans and Olga Terebenina for a wide-ranging and insightful presentation. They will explore what forest bathing truly involves, share fascinating findings including TFBI’s own peer-reviewed studies, and explain why this practice is gaining international recognition.
The presentation will also cover the wider landscape of nature-based healthcare, highlight the many benefits of forest bathing, introduce their new book The Healing Power of Trees, and offer practical, take-home tips to help you embrace nature in your daily life.

The World Economic Forum has appointed Gary and his wife as winning Top Innovators.
