The Gstaad Guy sits down with Glucose Goddess to unpack how a life-changing back injury, paired with depression, anxiety, and depersonalisation, became the unexpected catalyst behind her mission to transform how people understand food. From searching for external validation and navigating life as a people pleaser to becoming deeply obsession-driven and purpose-led, she shares how the hardest beginnings often shape the strongest direction.

The conversation dives into glucose, balanced eating, and the science behind spikes, including breakfast myths, pregnancy nutrition, cholesterol misconceptions, and practical daily hacks that actually work. She explains why mums resonate so deeply with her content, how motherhood reshaped her relationship with food and ambition, and why access to better information is the key to long-term health. They explore prevention, intermittent fasting, building a family, handling criticism, and the emotional resilience required to keep going when things feel uncertain.

The Gstaad Guy sits down with Greg Chait, founder of The Elder Statesman, to trace the unconventional path from throwing parties and collecting blankets to building one of fashion’s most distinctive luxury brands. Greg shares the origin story behind receiving his first cashmere blanket, discovering the power of yarn, and why leading with intuition, not trends, became the foundation of his creative philosophy. From early exposure to fashion to stumbling upon the identity that would define his brand, he reflects on living many lives before finding the one that felt right.

The conversation explores colour theory, self-expression, and becoming the first to put tie dye on cashmere, a move that reshaped perceptions of luxury as something playful, cosy, and deeply personal. Greg breaks down the evolution from blankets to ready-to-wear knitwear, expanding into womenswear, designing retail experiences, and building a brand with soul. They discuss value alignment, creative collaborations, customers turned partners, and the balance between being an artist and an operator. Along the way, Greg opens up about empathy, therapy, emotional overload, and how becoming a father reshaped his perspective on leadership and life.

The Gstaad Guy sits down with Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of WHOOP, to explore how understanding the human body became the foundation for one of the most influential platforms in modern health. From overcoming the stigma of medical-looking wearables to deliberately taking the tech out of the product, Will shares how solving a real physiological problem led to a system that helps people build awareness, balance, and long-term resilience.

The conversation moves through heart rate variability, the autonomic nervous system, and the interplay between parasympathetic and sympathetic activity, unpacking how sleep, recovery, strain, and consistency shape performance and longevity. Will explains how WHOOP enables an ongoing conversation with your body rather than a one-time snapshot, reframing prevention as a daily practice rather than an annual checkup. They explore the rise of longevity culture, health tracking as high status, and the growing role of AI in education, customer experience, and medical insight, alongside candid reflections on the limits of today’s healthcare system, building high-performance teams, and how continuous data can move from optimisation to life-saving impact.
