KEEN Wellbeing x HPC – Sauna+ Ice Bath Labs

Date: TBD

St. Gallen

Sign-ups only

KEEN has become a reference point for active recovery in Zurich, known for its disciplined approach to heat, cold, and breathwork. Guided by experienced coaches, its space integrates sauna, cold plunges, and a recovery zone designed for genuine restoration

Event Description
This is a controlled, coached introduction to contrast therapy — with real try-outs in sauna and ice baths, plus the decision rules that keep it safe and useful. You’ll leave with a protocol you can repeat, and a clearer sense of when heat/cold supports recovery and when it’s the wrong tool.

Dr. med. Simon Feldhaus: Smart Supplementation

5 February 2026

HSG Square

100

Dr. med. Simon Feldhaus — physician, medical director, and President of the Swiss Society for Anti-Aging Medicine and Prevention — lays out how supplementation actually works when applied responsibly. The focus is not products, but decision quality: when supplementation is justified, how to individualize it, and how to avoid the common mistakes that quietly undermine health and performance.

Health Week 2025

Five days of science-based workshops, labs, and keynotes on movement, recovery, mental health, and the future of preventive medicine at the University of St. Gallen. Co-created by the Human Performance Club and Unisport, Health Week 2025 brought together students, staff, and partners to explore what sustainable high performance can look like in real life.

Group of adults practicing yoga outdoors in a park surrounded by trees.

From sunrise yoga to ice baths, sleep labs and mental health coaching, the well-being pillar turned campus into a training ground for resilience. Participants learnt how movement, recovery, nutrition and emotional hygiene work together – and left with simple protocols they can sustainably keep.

Key Insights

Hype Vs. Real Value: Research supports a short list of supplements: vitamin D, omega-3s, B-vitamins, essential amino acids, probiotics, and CoQ10 are clinically proven to enhance long-term health.
Sleep first: no gadget or supplement can compensate for chronic sleep debt; 7–9 quality hours remain the strongest recovery tool.
Deliberate stress + deep recovery: A short 15–20 minute yoga or breath-work session right after waking up primes the brain to start the day with enhanced mood and energy (confirmed by +60 participants)

Key Insights

The “once-in-a-generation” window for new entrepreneurs is today: Public reserves, shifting regulation, and a surge in unmet needs mean the smartest founders can reshape prevention and mental health from the ground up — if they build models that align incentives, not just apps.
HRV is the new gateway metric for stress and resilience: It’s not just a recovery score, it’s a live readout of your autonomic nervous system and the most practical early-warning signal for overload.
AI is learning to read the body long before symptoms appear: Google’s Large Sensor Models can fuse HRV, skin conductance, motion and respiration patterns into early risk signals — turning everyday wearables into a continuous physiological radar.

Flagship Events

A Keynote by Google cloud

One Google for Health

Hellmer Rahm, Enterprise Accounts Executive, walked us through how Google is weaving AI and health across billions of users. From AlphaFold accelerating biology and MedGemma interpreting medical images, to Search and YouTube Health delivering credible information, to Fitbit and Pixel Watch supporting everyday wellbeing, the vision is a connected health ecosystem rather than single products. The takeaway: AI in health is no longer a distant future — it’s already shaping prevention, diagnosis and access, and partnerships with universities and hospitals are crucial to keep it responsible.

A workshop with dr. patrick noack – chief doctor of the swiss olympic team

How Olympic Athletes Achieve Peak Performance

In this workshop, Swiss Olympic physician Dr. Patrik Noack took us behind the scenes of Olympic medals to show how “peak days” are engineered – not just for athletes, but for anyone facing high-stakes moments. Using Nicola Spirig’s path to Olympic gold as a case study, he shared the science-based tools that champions use to achieve optimal focus, manage stress when the world is watching, and win gold. The message: the tools Olympic teams use to perform on one decisive day are the same tools we can use for exams, big presentations, and demanding seasons at work.

A Panel With Aepsy, Grape Insurance & Google

The Future of Preventive Health

In this flagship panel, leaders from insurance, digital mental health and big tech outlined what a preventive health system could look like if Switzerland chose to redesign it from the ground up. They challenged the status quo head-on: a system that still pays for illness instead of protecting health, mental-health pathways that exist on paper but remain out of reach for most, and data that could guide early decisions yet rarely flows where it’s needed. Their vision was clear and unusually aligned — a future where healthspan becomes the core metric, where access is proactive rather than reactive, and where AI and everyday devices help catch problems long before they become crises. It was a rare look into how a country like Switzerland could lead the world in prevention, and what it will take for the next generation to make that shift real.
