Knowing thy voice - the ultimate biohack

Kelsey Buchalter shares her transformative journey of overcoming anxiety and eating disorders by discovering the power of her voice. She introduces "knowing your voice" as the ultimate biohack—unlocking both emotional well-being and physical health. Learn how vocal expression, from singing to speaking, stimulates the vagus nerve, reduces stress, and helps you stay grounded and authentic in a fast-paced world. Kelsey Buchalter is a nutrition advisor, speaker, health coach and host of “The Human Theatre” podcast. She is passionate about mental and physical health optimisation, the significance of lifestyle interventions in the treatments and prevention of health problems, and understanding the body through an ancestral lens.

Her biggest source of inspiration? The human body and its innate ability to heal itself when placed in the right environment. While mental and physical health optimisation is always at the forefront of her mind, so is creativity. She’s a self-proclaimed dancer, actor and singer-songwriter with a strong belief that the performing arts can be used as a means of therapy to facilitate societal change.

When she’s not inspiring others with her incredible ideas about the human body, you can find her “practising” her other talent: Listening to audiobooks at top speed and sharing these ideas with others in a simpler way. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
