How to Slow Aging Naturally Through Mindset

From Survival Mode to Strength: How Stress, Self-Talk, and Relationships Shape Your Health

In this insightful and inspiring keynote, Dr. Najat Fradi reveals a powerful truth: staying young is not only about genetics or appearance, but also deeply connected to how we think, respond to stress, and relate to ourselves and others.
