In goop Health Vancouver: Gut Health, Soul Searching, and Body Talk

Our In goop Health summit has moved north, specifically to Vancouver. Hundreds of guests gathered at the city’s iconic Stanley Park Pavilion for a weekend of all things wellness. On Saturday, our summit host, Elise Loehnen, of goop podcast fame, led discussions on gut health, angst and anxiety, soul potential, and body image. We stocked our panels with some of our most valued experts (like Alejandro Junger and Barry Michels) and heard from some brilliant minds, like Andrew Kerklaan, a doctor of chiropractic who broke down the body’s endocannabinoid system for us. Attendees recharged with a master class on glowing skin and yoga with lululemon, and they got a reading from one of our favorite mediums, Susan Grau. We followed up on Sunday with a Barry Michels workshop on coming out of the shadows and a slate of workout and wellness classes. Sure enough, it all went by too quickly—so thank you Vancouver, we can’t wait to head north again soon.
