Brain Health Network - What day to day environmental toxins do we encounter that can impact our brain health?
Brain Health Network - What day to day environmental toxins do we encounter that can impact our brain health?
There are potential harmful chemicals in almost everything we touch, from household cleaning products to the make-up we use and the air we breathe. Prolonged exposure to these chemicals have the capability of negatively impacting our brain health and contributing towards neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in later life.
These chemicals can either be inhaled into our respiratory system or come into contact with the skin, the largest organ and protective barrier of the human body. There they work to penetrate the skin’s surface, making their way into the bloodstream or, if inhaled, the lungs. These toxins are considered to be harmful, and sometimes even fatal. The question is, what are we coming into contact with on a daily basis that we could possibly avoid, or switch out to with a healthier alternative…
Household cleaning products: many cleaning products contain chemicals including ammonia, bleach and volatile compounds, commonly known as (VOCs). Each one of these releases fumes into the air and can become a danger when there is exposure for long periods of time. This can lead to respiratory issues damaging the central nervous system and further impacting cognitive function in the long term.
Make-up products: whether opting for a natural look or heavy glam, make-up products are in constant contact with the skin. Fortunately over the last few years, the beauty industry has shifted away from using carcinogens such as silica and parabens in favour of more natural alternatives. For example, castor oil for skin hydration.
“According to current European laws, all cosmetics approved for use must be completely safe for their users, and the responsibility for this lies with manufacturers, distributors, and importers.”
There are however some companies that continue to use toxic substances within their products such as phthalates and heavy metals, and over time these toxic chemicals are absorbed through the skin. While the body’s biological systems are designed to eliminate these toxins, when they’re overwhelmed toxic effects such as headaches, memory loss and poor concentration can begin to take place.
Cigarette smoke: in 2007, the smoking ban came into effect with the hope of sparing future generations the side-effects associated with chronic exposure to cigarette smoke. Exposure on a daily basis can contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death worldwide which further impacts brain health. (World Health Organization, 2022). Symptoms include neurocognitive dysfunction and brain structural abnormalities which pave the way for neurodegenerative diseases including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Pesticides: these are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, but according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), approximately 80% of an individual pesticide is used indoors. Pesticides contribute to a range of cognitive and psychomotor impairments, including memory loss, attention deficits and a loss of alertness. When next selecting your indoor plant pesticide spray, be sure to opt for a natural alternative that uses cinnamon or vinegar as a repellent. Prolonged exposure to ‘outdoor pesticides’ can contain neurotoxic substances that can damage long-term cognition and function.
Air Pollution: traffic-related air pollution significantly impacts our brain health. Evidence has shown that when we inhale exhaust fumes there is a clear link to cognitive decline in later life. When we breathe these fumes in, the central nervous system becomes inflamed and according to the recent paper, ‘The Effects of Air Pollution on the Brain’, this type of pollution not only contributes to cognitive decline but it can further impact behaviour and psychomotor skills.
The relationship between toxins and neurodegenerative diseases is complex, however it is clear that certain toxins can contribute to the development or progression of neurological conditions primarily through oxidative stress and inflammation.
While there is evidence suggesting an association between environmental toxins and cognitive decline, it’s important to note that this is not the only link. Many factors can contribute, including genetics, lifestyle and overall health. However, by reducing exposure to toxins and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the risk of cognitive decline in later life can be significantly reduced.

Bleisure by NTL Trust - How to Achieve it Through Citizenship by Investment
Lifestyle spotlight: Bleisure by NTL Trust - How to Achieve it Through Citizenship by Investment
Indulge in the extraordinary - where business meets leisure, and luxury knows no bounds.
In the ever-evolving landscape of luxury travel, a new lifestyle trend is taking center stage among High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) - Bleisure. Blending business with leisure, this trend is reshaping the way HNWI approach international travel, and citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean are emerging as the ideal path to cater to this luxurious fusion.
Bleisure – coin of roaring 20s
Bleisure, the seamless integration of business and leisure travel, is not just a trend; it's a lifestyle adopted by HNWI, who find the perfect blend of work and relaxation during their international journeys. What's driving this trend? The answer lies in the prolonged stays in various destinations around the world and symbiosis of work and personal life that took place in post pandemic years, and unique investment opportunities that HNWI encounter while globe-trotting.
The HNWI Influence on Bleisure Travel
Statistics reveal that HNWI are spending nearly 40% more time abroad than the average holidaymaker. Their preferences lean towards extended stays, much longer than the regular two weeks of private time off. It's not just about business meetings; HNWI are seeking the perfect combination of traveling and active holidays, reshaping the traditional concept of leisure.
HNWI Investment Preferences
When it comes to investments, HNWI often turn to real estate and government bonds. Forbes Magazine recognizes real estate as one of the top choices for these discerning investors. However, the location is key, and the benefits extend beyond financial gains. This sets the stage for the perfect intersection with the world of Bleisure.
The Perfect Blend: Citizenship by Investment in the Caribbean
Enter citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean, offering a haven for HNWI seeking both investment opportunities and luxurious travel experiences. Countries such as Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, St Lucia, and Dominica have embraced this trend, providing a unique blend of increased mobility, global reach, and privacy for investors.
NTL Trust: Transforming Bleisure Travel
Advising us on this luxury travel revolution is NTL Trust, with 30 years of experience in the industry, a key player offering citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean and beyond. One shining example is Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment program that has a distinct real estate path: Hodges Bay, a 5-star resort that is not only a paradise for travelers but also a strategic investment opportunity. This citizenship by investment offer allows investors to gain all perks that Antigua and Barbuda citizenship provides global mobility, favorable tax regime, financial security; in exchange for investment in lucrative commercial property that is world renown, and opportunity to enjoy resort perks of week-long annual vacations while ensuring a guaranteed buyback after a five-year holding period.
Crafting the Bleisure Lifestyle
Picture this: a week of indulgence in a world-renowned resort, the freedom to explore secluded locales available only to a few, and the opportunity to invest in prime commercial real estate. Citizenship by investment with NTL Trust encapsulates the HNWI goals for a seamless blend of luxury, investment, and travel. Privacy, increased mobility, and global reach become the building blocks for the ultimate Bleisure lifestyle. Caribbean region is the perfect middle between US East Coast, South American coast and Western Europe – you can land in St Kitts and Nevis in only three short hours after tying up your business deals in Miami or fly overnight to Antigua from London and catch a break before you continue your work tour through American continent. The Caribbean is the perfect region that has it all: accessibility, privacy and otherworldly nature.
Conclusion
As the worlds of business, investment, and travel converge, citizenship by investment programs in the Caribbean stand out as the key to elevating your Bleisure lifestyle. NTL Trust's offerings, exemplified by Hodges Bay, showcase how HNWI can seamlessly intertwine work, leisure, and investment in the most luxurious fashion. It's not just a journey; it's a lifestyle, and citizenship by investment is the passport to this exclusive world of possibilities.

Christian Moore Speaks at 2023 Vivanova Gala - Son of Legendary Bond Actor Sir Roger Moore and Founder of Global Environment Media
Club Vivanova is delighted to announce in partnership with the Borneo Wildlife Preservation that during our forthcoming 2023 Luxury Lifestyle Charity Gala on Saturday 18th November 2023 a the Fairmont Monte Carlo, our guest of honour Christian Moore (founder of Global Environment Media and son of legendary actor Sir Roger Moore) will speak on current global environmental challenges, sustainability and the plight of Bornean Elephants. Book gala tickets online here
Christian has over 20 years of industry experience both in television and film having worked in most departments over the years concentrating on production, from editing to producing. As a founder of Global Environment Media his work focuses on environmental issues.
Dedicated father, husband and businessman, we managed to find some time during Christian’s busy schedule to learn more about the inspiration behind the initiatives and the development of GEM.
What was the driving force and initiative behind your decision to set-up Global Environment Media?
About three years ago it became apparent that when looking into information available online and offline there was such an abundance of conflicting information and unsubstantiated information. It was at this point we all recognised that our environment is a monumental concern to all of us and we could actually do something about it through media. This is when we decided to consolidate and unite as many foundations institutes and NGOs as possible and bring their information into a hub and use a mixed media architecture to deliver the information for easy digestion.
How is the GEMA Foundation related to GEM?
Global Environment Movement Association was created to help in the production and diffusion of information and content in support of all our partners. The GEM platform is one of the diffusion outlets of which the production content created could be diffused and digested by all our subscribers and viewers. As a TV channel GEM will be diffused globally over all platforms to have the largest coverage area.
How can locals and businesses in the Monaco / French Riviera region and across Europe help the growth and development of GEM?
GEM is run as a media platform and as such we partner with companies that are environmental in their approach and have sustainability as a focus moving forward. They show their support by having a presence on our platform and channel and in turn we are able to show their good efforts in moving forward responsibly.
What are the challenges you face in charitable funding for the GEMA Foundation and how are you dealing with that?
Due to recent world events raising money and attention for environment is key but yet as a media company we have had a blow due to the tightening of budget this year. Raising donations for GEMA has been challenging and I believe the tides are turning as we come out of this pandemic. Word of mouth media and social media play a big role in obtaining donations.
Lastly, your father was an avid supporter of numerous charities and foundations, in which sector was he mostly connected with and why?
My father was an advocate for children and as ambassador for UNICEF he spent the better part of 25 years raising awareness and monies for such charities. It was through him that I developed a strong desire and need to be socially responsible in all my actions and businesses. There is nothing more noble then advocating for those who cannot for themselves. From children to animals to our environment as a whole - if you are able to To do something to help and you must.

Somewhere in My Heart - Calum Maxwell - Leadership Consultant & Executive Coach
Tom Jones is in Nice this week as part of the Jazz Festival and it was great to see and hear the great singer blast out his songs at the age of 83. It got me thinking about something that happened recently while driving down to visit my hometown in Southwest Scotland. The song, Somewhere in My Heart by Aztec Camera came up on my playlist. I turned the volume up LOUD. I was taken right back to being 18 again. A wave of happiness came upon me like it was yesterday! Thirty years later I still felt the joy, excitement, and the confidence of that moment.
This was a time of change in my life back then. My mother and I left the family home to escape my alcoholic father, I was the first in my family to be going to university in autumn of 1989 and more importantly I passed my driving test! Life was great and I was ready for anything. That summer was a turning point in my life and the music playing reminded me of my resilience and ability to deal with all the challenges I had faced growing up.
Confidence, resilience, and self-belief are at the heart of personal success but as we all know there are times in life when we don’t feel that way. Those are the times in our lives where we must pull upon our strengths to face adversity or make a change. We often forget this when dealing with new challenges, the unexpected or when events aren’t turning out the way we had hoped. Music is a really good way to start conversations about positive times in our lives. It might be the tune or it might be the lyrics… it’s always the tune for me!
Change is dependent on your mindset, your strengths and resilience. This is where I start when working with new clients. It’s so important to reflect on and explore the strengths we they have pulled upon during our lived experience. Your experiences can be at the foundation of your future success. The power of my coaching technique is that it is builds on the best of my clients, their strengths, their experiences and ultimately their actions. Music comes into my work frequently and I find it a great way to start a conversation, evoke memories and as I said, remember times of strength, happiness, and success. These feelings are real, tangible, and helpful.
One of my current client’s (an award-winning and successful journalist) favourite and motivational song is ‘Gonna Fly Now’, the theme tune from the Rocky film series. This tune was significant for my client as it was a time when she was learning her craft as a young journalist and very much in a ‘learning zone’ as she began her career. She didn’t know it all, she wasn’t always confident but she made it to the top of her profession by using her skills and strengths. These lyrics are particularly relevant to her because for the last few months she has been working on overcoming her fear of public speaking. We revisited these strengths as part of my bespoke coaching programme. She has the words, she has the subject knowledge, she has attention to detail, but what she has done is work with me to identify the fears about speaking, understand and reframe them whilst building on all her strengths to become a confident speaker and presenter.
As her motivation music blasts out ‘trying hard now, getting strong now, gonna fly now, flying high now’ it reflects on what she has done in taking positive steps to improve. Just as it was in the past, this music now reminds her of her current success in making significant improvements as part our coaching work. I have suggested that she blasts this tune out on her arrival on stage when she speaks publicly but she’s not quite up for that!
If this resonates and you would like to know more about my bespoke coaching programme to help your reach your goals and conquer your fears please get in touch. We can discuss music too, have a coffee and discover the potential for you or your organisation to make long lasting and successful change.
Go play your favourite tune and see what comes to mind.

Hitting the Right Note - L’Eze Harmonies in Partnership with Savills Monaco & Burgess Yachts
From the 2-4 June, L’Eze Harmonies showcased the exceptional setting of Eze Village in a whole new light, illuminating the village with musical charm and a sense of magic. Featuring an original operetta, children’s community choir, several world class recitals, a unique tour through the village and a series of receptions in the Chèvre d’Or gardens, what better way to celebrate the start of the summer season on the Côte d’Azur? This was an event not to be missed. Savills are delighted to have supported this wonderful initiative and the excellent work in the local community.
Eze village is one of the top locations in the world on Instagram and if you have been lucky enough to visit you know why. Winding streets, breathtaking views, charm, style and beauty all wrapped up with a cinematic backdrop and daring history including Roman emperors, a siege and great escape. So what better way to share such a historic location and exceptional location than with private evenings of music, artistry and community.
There is no denying that as a business and individuals we are passionate about the locations in which we live and communities we serve and what better way to give back than support the work of two local entrepreneurial and talented individuals, Remy Mathieu and Nicolas Cousin. With extensive international musical careers and proud Eze natives, Eze Harmonies is the innovative concept of this powerhouse team, keen to feedback to their community using their musical passion and extensive network of contacts, which showcased 25 international artists collaborating to create an unforgettable event.
On Sunday the 4th of June, Savills Monaco and French Riviera, alongside co-sponsors Burgess Yachts, had the pleasure of welcoming clients, friends and colleagues to the terraces of the Chevre d’Or Hotel, for a private evening concert overlooking the dramatic Mediterranean sea and Riviera coastline. View the selection of photos to see who attended and the exceptional setting. Following an evening drinks reception, with wines selected by local supplier La Conciergerie, Villefranche and classical musical accompaniment, guests had the rare opportunity to experience a private concert by Stéphane Degout, a world renowned tenor accompanied by pianist Cédric Tiberghien. As the moon rose over the coastline and the music soared into the night, this was a fitting finale for an exceptional event, one described by guests as “delightful, beyond words” and we for one, cannot wait to see what awaits next year. You heard it here first – L’Eze Harmonies is on the map for the summer season, to learn more please visit their website.
We take this opportunity to congratulate the organisers, artists and local community for their commitment, talent and vision, Bravo!

Conversations with Calum Maxwell - Leadership Consultant & Executive Coach
Conversations with Calum Maxwell - Leadership Consultant & Executive Coach
A few months ago as I was heading to a Club Vivanova charity event in Monaco and I found myself engaged in a familiar inner dialogue.
“Why am I going here when I don’t know anyone?”
“What have I got to offer of interest and will anyone want to hear it?”
We all know this inner voice, at times so energising and encouraging and yet at others so critical and pessimistic.
Being an executive coach, this inner chatter no longer phases me because I have learned how to use it. Conversations even with ourselves and others can be transformative in the most wonderful way.
As renowned executive coach Susan Scott writes in her best-selling book Fierce Conversations, constructive communication has the potential to be a game changer.
She wrote: “Whilst no conversation is guaranteed to change the trajectory of a career, a company, a relationship or a life ... any conversation can.”
The Club Vivanova event was of course great, full of interesting people with diverse perspectives and we talked about all sorts of subjects from wine to engineering.
I have since met three of the attendees for coffee which has been fun.
Conversations are at the core of how I help clients, they are the route map to navigating their fears and doubts, whether they are small and niggling or at their worst, paralysing. My clients have already taken the first step by finding the courage to seek out help.
Too often we chose to bury and ignore an issue. I create a supportive and secure space to allow my clients to realise personal, professional, and organisational goals. After each session together, you will feel reinvigorated, confident and have a focused plan on how to achieve your goal which will lead to your ultimate success.
I would be delighted to meet with you to have a conversation, and a coffee of course, about the potential for you or your organisation to make long lasting and successful change.

Savills Monaco with Savills French Riviera and Burgess Yachts Sponsor the 2nd L’Èze Harmonies Festival
Savills Monaco with Savills French Riviera and Burgess Yachts Sponsor the 2nd L’Èze Harmonies Festival
L’Èze Harmonies will take place in Eze village on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th June 2023. It is a musical festival offering various concerts in various magical venues throughout the hilltop village of Èze:
Friday evening sees Smoking Josephine, a string quintet, in the Exotic Garden;
Saturday evening ,we have various opera singers in the streets of the old village, with a candlelit concert afterwards in the Exotic Garden given by Thibault Cauvin, a fantastic young classical guitarist;
And Sunday evening finishes with a recital by Stéphane Degout ( baritone) and Cedric Tibergien (pianist) in the wonderful gardens of the Chèvre d’Or.
The main organiser, Rémy Mathieu, is himself an opera singer and came back to live in his home town of Èze 2 years ago. With his friend Nicolas Cousin, a fantastic percussionist , they decided to create a festival to share their passion for classical music with an audience, who perhaps, are not familiar with this genre. So the festival was created for the first time last year and was a fantastic success. The village of Èze, provides the perfect backdrop for this musical festival and Savills and Burgess are very much looking forward to the events this year .
You can buy tickets at this website link or find the event on social media.
Savills Monaco is a Club Vivanova Corporate Partner.
