Health and Wellness Expert Leslie Kenny

October 31, 2023 • Elizabeth Solaru • Season 3 • Episode 5

Elizabeth Solaru had a fascinating conversation with Leslie Kenny, the visionary founder of Oxford Healthspan. Leslie's journey from California to Oxford, coupled with her unyielding determination and passion for health optimisation, has led her to shape a groundbreaking venture that seeks to redefine well-being.

Leslie's story is both inspiring and deeply personal. In her 30s, she received a life-altering diagnosis of autoimmune conditions, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypothyroidism. Conventional medical wisdom offered no cure, only the management of symptoms through potent immunosuppressants. However, Leslie's upbringing instilled a different approach rooted in her Taiwanese heritage – the belief in harnessing the body's innate wisdom for healing. She questioned the suppression of her immune system and instead sought ways to support its natural abilities.

Her unwavering commitment to her own health led her to embark on a transformative educational journey. She enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, fuelling her passion for health optimisation. Leslie's quest for knowledge and her remarkable dedication to well-being eventually led her to Oxford, where her path intersected with Oxford University scientists and doctors.

Leslie's collaboration with Oxford University scientists and doctors marked a significant turning point in her career. Her work at the intersection of science and holistic health optimisation bridges the gap between traditional medicine and the emerging field of healthspan. This pioneering approach is poised to revolutionise our understanding of well-being and longevity.

Our conversation with Leslie Kenny on the Luxury Business Podcast sheds light on the evolving landscape of health and wellness, a booming space in the luxury industry where science and holistic practices converge.
