Loyal’s Post

We're proud of our team! Check out the remarkable work of Dr. Audrey Ruple, who serves on the executive leadership team of the Dog Aging Project. "I'm the director of the environment core," Ruple said. "We look at all of the environmental factors, which we consider to be everything outside of the dogs. That includes diet and exercise, but also the built environment, chemical environment, natural environment, and drinking water."

"Apostate, radical, heretic. Call them what you want, but... what if they’re right? Meet the thought leaders featured in "Heretics", a brand new original series (one of the great original series crafted by the FreeThink e-mag) featuring the thought leaders who aren’t afraid to color outside the lines. You might not agree with them, but you can’t afford to ignore them. Because heretics have the power to change the world." Love that quote !! Did you know that the quest for longevity may not be restrained to us but extend beyond humans to animals? Celine Halioua, CEO and Founder of Loyal, is at the forefront. Loyal is developing the first FDA-approved drugs explicitly intended to extend lifespan and health span. On the path to FDA approval, Celine and her team started running clinical trials that objectively and robustly demonstrates that Loyal's drug extends dogs’ healthy lifespan, and does so safely. https://lnkd.in/eVj6dWMj #Heretics #Innovation #Longevity #Animals #Biotech #ThoughtLeaders

Today's WeeklyLT expands on posts from the past two weeks by leveraging Jane Goodall’s life, legacy & research to remind us: “THERE IS NOT A MAJOR GAP BETWEEN US & ALL OTHER ANIMALS.” The prior two posts I’ve written have alluded to our IMPROPER USE OF TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH OF MOBILE DEVICES & SOCIAL MEDIA. THIS MISUSE IS WIDENING THE GAP – FOR THE WORSE. OUR MOVEMENT, SOCIAL CONNECTIONS & OVERALL HEALTH & HAPPINESS ARE NOT TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. As a reminder for those unfamiliar, Jane Goodall (now 90) is a British primatologist, ethologist & anthropologist, renowned for her groundbreaking work in the study of chimpanzees. She has extensively researched & documented (written & video) the social & family interactions of wild chimpanzees throughout her lifetime & proved to us that: 1 – Chimpanzees make & use tools (ie, using of sticks to extract termites), a trait that society previously thought to be uniquely human. 2 – Chimpanzees are not strictly vegetarians; they hunt & eat meat, often engaging in cooperative hunting to catch prey such as monkeys. 3 – They have intricate social structures & relationships; Goodall observed behaviours including grooming, forming alliances & establishing hierarchies within their communities. 4 – They exhibit a range of emotions similar to humans, expressing joy, sorrow, anger & affection. 5 – They engage in play, form close bonds with family members & grieve the loss of loved ones. 6 – They can be aggressive & violent, engaging in conflict & wars between other groups, BUT they also show reconciliation behaviours such as kissing & embracing after conflicts. https://lnkd.in/gzeJTV_b I'm glad my kids got to learn about Jane Goodall & chimpanzees this week as part of their camp by watching a film about her. “CHIMPANZEES ARE LIKE US BIOLOGICALLY – OUR CLOSEST LIVING RELATIVES. WE HUMANS ARE A PART OF, AND NOT SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM” (Jane Goodall). PERHAPS WE NEED TO GO BACK TO OUR ROOTS. BACK TO OUR CORE. BACK TO WHERE WE CAME FROM? A little less use of technology, coupled with more movement, whole foods, social connections & time outdoors can go a long way in raising our overall health & happiness. That’s my plan for this beautiful Sunday. Pass it along. We owe this to ourselves, & most importantly, our children.

Exciting News! Tomorrow, I have the honor of being the keynote speaker at a Rotary meeting in Weston. I'll be delving into consumer behavior, decision-making processes, and the intriguing notion that we are "rationalizing animals" rather than purely rational ones. If you're attending or in the area, let's connect and discuss more! #RotaryMeeting #ConsumerBehavior #Weston #DecisionMaking #florida #miami #neuromarketing

Come along? Learn to use and practice some great tools for Futures Thinking, so you can help others to imagine multiple futures.

Cannes Lions: It's that time of year again, and the Rogue Bees are out in force. 😎 "Rogue Bees" is such a useful idea, popularised by the inimitable Rory Sutherland. It resonates deeply in the world of creativity. Rogue bees are those daring honeybees - yes, actual little buzzing hardworking bees 🐝 - whose whole job is to COMPLETELY IGNORE their genetically hardwired mission to find nectar and instead seek out new and unexpected sources. In bee world, most follow the poetically-named waggle dance to known sources of pollen. But these rogues ignore the dance, and zigzag off to discover unknown riches. There aren't many of them, but their role is vital, and it means the hive both survives and thrives. The point is simple: if we all played it safe, we'd never discover anything new. Flying in a metaphorical straight line leads to mediocrity, and never seeing the yet unseen. Pushing the boundaries – like our honeybee friends – redefines what’s possible and uncovers unthinkable solutions.🍭 People have said smarter things about this idea and managing risk, but for me, the best of it is about creativity and staying curious. 😉 Those tiny creative rebels have got their pollen-covered bums all over this years' entries. I’ll leave it to the actual creatives to round up the best, but enjoy the LinkedIn rabbit hole while the festival is on. Try to be just a little bit more rogue bee, and celebrate those among us.🌟 #CannesLions #Creativity #Innovation #RogueBees #Marketing #BoldIdeas

Updated link on the official TedX YouTube page: https://lnkd.in/gTCcMiTr The research evidence is clear that companion animals, or pets, can provide many benefits for human mental and physical health. The concept of the human-animal bond suggests that pets can also benefit from relationships with humans. But given the degree of control humans have over their lives and environment, the needs of pets are not always adequately met. By recognizing their sentience, or emotional and cognitive capacities, and meeting their species-specific needs, we can improve the well-being of our pets. In turn, we can enhance our animal-human relationships and bonds.

Discover the concept of "holding space" — a powerful practice where beings support each other's health and vitality without intruding on personal boundaries. Janell dives into how animals instinctively contribute to the health of their collective by setting intentions for the whole's optimal well-being, showcasing their unique roles within this energetic partnership. 🌸 Watch the full video on the link below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g3W8SWS3
