For organizations
Good health offerings are only the beginning.
I work with clubs, wellness spaces and employers to help turn longevity and prevention into something people can understand, engage with and carry into everyday life.
The offerings are rarely the problem.
Strength training, nutrition advice, physiotherapy, recovery, diagnostics, health weeks, employee assistance programmes...
Taken individually, most of what clubs and employers offer is good. People use it, and often enjoy it. But accessing good services doesn't automatically mean people know how to connect them, prioritise them or sustain the benefits in everyday life.
That isn't a failure of the offering, and it isn't a lack of discipline on the human side. What's missing is the layer between the two: the work of turning good input into something that survives a travel week, a reorganisation, a bad winter.
That layer doesn't belong to any single service, which is exactly why it tends to belong to no one.
But it's where much of the long-term value of prevention is either carried forward or lost.
The integration layer
Relevant, not generic. Good prevention starts with understanding who people are, what matters to them and what their everyday lives actually allow.
Translation into an actual life. The gap between knowing what to do and doing it under real conditions is a behavioural problem, not an information problem. I translate evidence-informed longevity principles into practical priorities, helping people understand what to focus on and how to adapt when life gets complicated.
Connected to your existing offering. Whether through a workshop, individual assessment or member programme, my work is designed to complement your existing expertise and add a more personal dimension to the experience.
Two kinds of partner
The problem is the same. The formats aren't.
For clubs and wellness spaces
Your members are already investing in their health. They have access to expertise, facilities and experiences. The opportunity is to help them make more of what's available.
Through personalised guidance that connects individual health priorities to everyday life.
For your club, that means an opportunity to enrich the member experience, complement existing services and offer something more personal than another standalone wellness event.
Possible shapes:
-
Personal Longevity Baseline Analysis offered on-site
-
Small-group programmes for members with shared interests
-
Member talks and workshops on midlife health, energy and recovery, nutrition beyond diets and rigid rules, navigating perimenopause, or what really matters for long-term health and longevity
-
Selected advisory collaborations to develop or refine your longevity offering
For employers
Midlife health, women's health and sustainable performance are increasingly relevant workplace conversations. But a good talk or wellbeing initiative is only useful if people can connect it to their own lives.
I help organisations make these topics accessible, evidence-informed and practical. Whether for a women's network, a leadership group or employees navigating demanding work and changing health needs.
Possible shapes:
-
Talks and workshops on midlife health, recovery, nutrition and sustainable performance
-
Short learning series that build on one another rather than stand alone
-
Individual Longevity Baseline Analy offered as an employee benefit
None of these is a fixed package.
The one that makes sense depends on who your customers are and what you've already tried, and that's what the first conversation is for.
Start small. Build on what works
A collaboration can begin with a single talk, workshop or assessment day. With a clear scope and a defined goal.
Afterwards, we look at what worked, what participants found valuable and whether there's a reason to build on it.
No need to design a long-term programme before we've learned what your members or employees actually need.
Who you'd be working with.
I'm Julia Kiess, founder of i:gevity, a longevity practice near Brussels.
I'm trained in longevity, nutrition, fitness and lifestyle through the Human Longevity Institute (US), with additional training in eating behaviour and food freedom.
Before founding i:gevity, I spent over a decade in communications, marketing and public affairs, from the music and media industry in Berlin to EU politics in Brussels.
That combination shapes my work today: connecting complex information and bringing scientific knowledge, human behaviour and real-world implementation together to create experiences that are both meaningful and accessible.
I write and speak about sustainable longevity, food freedom and the limits of optimisation culture.
I work in English and German.
Worth a conversation?
Tell me briefly what you're working with and what hasn't held.
Thirty minutes is usually enough to see whether there's something here.
