Presented in partnership with NFM, the free community event will feature physician-scientist Dr. Helen Messier and Dallas Mavericks executive Khalia Collier, alongside leading wellness brands. The day‘s central theme is longevity and living better for longer.
According to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, women are significantly more likely than men to have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, highlighting the need for greater personalization for women of their sleep environments, in addition to more awareness of sleep health as part of overall wellness.
“Women‘s wellness deserves dedicated conversations centered around the unique needs of the female body,” said Bedgear founder and CEO Eugene Alletto, adding, “As more people embrace longevity as a way of thinking about their future, we have an opportunity to connect the dots between sleep, recovery, exercise, and nutrition in a way that‘s approachable, inspiring, and grounded in science. This inaugural Women‘s Wellness Day at NFM is an important step in that journey.”
Keynote presenter Dr. Messier holds a PhD in molecular immunology, an MD in family medicine and advanced training in genetics. She has held leadership roles at Human Longevity Inc., Viome, Fountain Life and Bioscope.ai. Her presentation will explore the unique approaches women can take to work with their biology for optimal wellness, and how proactive decisions around nutrition, exercise, sleep and preventive care can compound into healthier aging.
Collier, vice president and chief of staff of basketball operations for the Dallas Mavericks, will share how elite organizations evaluate wellness and recovery, and which practices have made the greatest impact on her own life and career.
Following the keynote, attendees can continue exploring wellness throughout NFM with demonstrations and experiences from leading brands across nutrition, fitness, recovery and sleep. Guests can be personally fit for a Bedgear Performance Sleep System, helping them discover the personalized sleep solutions best suited to their body type, sleep position and temperature preference.
“At NFM, we want our store to be more than a place to shop. We want it to be a destination where people can connect, learn and discover ideas that improve their homes and their lives,” said Robert Kincheloe, store director at NFM. “Women‘s Wellness Day brings together health, wellness, education and community in a meaningful way.”
