We have more health information than ever, from sleep tracking and biomarkers to increasingly personalized recommendations. Yet many of us still feel tired, distracted, overstimulated, and disconnected from the practices that help us think and feel our best.
More than 2,400 years ago, Hippocrates used diaita, the origin of “diet,” to describe a way of life: how we eat, move, rest, relate, engage with our environment, and create the conditions for health.
Drawing on her background in archaeology and culinary nutrition, Lisa Roberts connects ancient approaches to well-being with current research on brain health, food, movement, nature, social connection, rest, and daily practices. Rather than adding more tasks to busy lives, the session asks: How do we turn what we know into a way of living we can sustain?
For people navigating high-responsibility, complex lives, the session offers practical ways to support cognitive health, focus, energy, and resilience without treating well-being as another optimization project.
The conversation will then look forward. As AI expands what is possible in health, we’ll turn the question to the room:
- What can ancient ways of living teach us about the distinctly human challenge of putting knowledge into practice?
- Where might AI strengthen, extend, or reimagine these long-standing principles of well-being?
Together, we'll imagine new use cases and explore what the next chapter of well-being could look like.
