"Feeling drained and stressed as a leader? Discover the DNA secrets to unlock boundless energy and thrive into your 90s!" Leadership demands energy, focus, and resilience—but what if your genetics are holding you back? In this episode of Career Confidence, Georgie Hubbard sits down with Alessandra Edwards, a peak performance expert and clinical nutritionist, to uncover how top leaders use DNA insights to supercharge their energy, manage stress, and lead with confidence well into their 90s. Alessandra shares her unique approach to helping executives increase energy and productivity by 50% through genetic and biochemical optimisation, drawing from her 10+ years as a nutrigenomic specialist and her corporate experience as a marketing manager. Alessandra opens up about her personal journey—growing up in an unhealthy environment surrounded by family illness, battling a congenital heart defect, and overcoming a fear of early death through the power of epigenetics. She explains how she transformed her life by studying health science, genetics, and nutrition, and now helps leaders do the same. From identifying your genetic “signature” (are you a CEO, Warrior, or Shooting Star?) to practical tips like managing blood glucose and boosting magnesium, this episode is packed with science-backed strategies to optimise your performance and longevity. Georgie and Alessandra dive into the red flags leaders should watch for—like unresolved fatigue and afternoon energy dips—and how to address them with personalised, stress-free wellness practices. They also tackle the pressure of “perfect” self-care, the role of intuition in leadership, and why women need to shift the narrative from punishment to strength as they age. Whether you’re a busy executive, an aspiring leader, or simply want to future-proof your health, this episode will inspire you to take control of your energy and lead at your best.
