Most people trying to look after their health are already doing a lot right. They exercise. They eat reasonably well. They get the occasional check-up.
But there’s often a gap between the effort they’re putting in and knowing whether any of it is actually moving the needle, in terms of supporting their body on what matters long-term.
For many, according to Etienne Humbert, co-founder and CEO of Kiwi company Conquer Health, that shows up as declining energy, inconsistent recovery, or a sense that despite doing the right things, something isn’t quite adding up.
Dame Susan has spent her life operating at a high level. Four world squash titles in the ‘80s and ‘90s and years leading complex public institutions (she was New Zealand’s Race Relations Commissioner from 2013 to 2018) means she understands what performance looks like, and what it costs when you get it wrong.
“I understand how important health is, and often our health is managed on assumption rather than insight – so I was happy to become involved as an ambassador.”
Many people wait until something feels wrong before seeking support,” says Humbert. “We’re seeing growing interest in a more proactive and personalised approach to health and wellbeing, where people want deeper insight into factors such as recovery, stress, lifestyle and long-term health, so they can make more informed decisions about how they support their body over time.”
Conquer Health takes a proactive approach. Rather than responding to symptoms, the company’s programme is designed to provide specific information, unique to each person, using advanced testing and expert clinical interpretation to build a detailed, joined-up strategy of how an individual can support their health goals based on their unique genetic make-up.
Each programme begins with a unique personal history, followed by an advanced DNA test that examines both your genetic profile and how those genes could be expressing themselves through epigenetic analysis.
But what sets the model apart is what happens after the testing. Clients work through extended one-on-one sessions with specialists in integrative and functional medicine, and that depth of time and expertise allows for a different kind of conversation – one that goes beyond symptoms to focus on patterns and what could be done to support the person in their ongoing health journey.
The difference between generic advice and advice built around your own biology is significant. What can support one person doesn’t always translate to another, and without that individual picture, even disciplined people can spend years focused on the wrong things.
Humbert says the goal is to support people to help them help themselves to stay as healthy, capable and independent for as long as possible – and it starts with understanding your unique biology.
“Most people are surprised by what they find out,” says Humbert. “The real question is whether you want to take control and support your health now, rather than waiting to see what happens.”
