SESSION OVERVIEW

SCOPE

This session is designed for leaders under sustained pressure.

Leaders often experience declining clarity, focus and resilience long before anything looks “wrong” on the surface. This session focuses on identifying those early breakdown points, why weight and aging accelerate under stress and replacing willpower with systems that actually support performance.

Participants leave with tools they can apply immediately.

THEMES

• Performance Audit: Identifying what’s stabilizing or draining energy and focus

• Founder Fuel: Fueling and fasting for sustained cognition and decision quality

• Focus & Fitness: Sleep, movement, and regulation for resilient attention

• Optimization: Data-informed supplementation and therapeutics

ABOUT LYNNETTE

Lynette Astaire is a longevity strategist working at the intersection of performance, nutrition and aging science. She has advised founders and operating teams inside accelerators and high-growth companies for over a decade.

I came to this work the hard way — through building, burning out and rebuilding inside high-pressure startup environments.

I started my first food business at 11, long before I understood the language of VC, accelerators or cap tables. Years later, as a startup founder, I learned how quickly performance breaks down when energy, recovery and focus are deprioritized (despite running a wellness company). That burnout became the turning point that reshaped my work.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of performance, nutrition and longevity with founders and leaders operating in high-pressure environments. This work grew out of my early venture Superfood School and advisory roles within cohort-based programs, where a clear gap emerged: founders were being taught how to build companies but not how to sustain themselves while doing it. That insight led to the creation of the Leadership Longevity Lab as a standalone offering. 

My work has included facilitating group-based programs and advisory engagements within organizations such as Walmart, WeWork and MAC Cosmetics, as well as working with Grammy-winning musicians and elite performers.

Outside of my professional work, endurance training — including completing my first marathon at 40 in NYC — crystallized what I now teach founders every day: long-term success requires pacing and recovery, not just intensity.
