Since 2006 I have been supporting women as a doctor at different stages of their lives. I truly believe that every woman deserves to live a confident, informed and healthy life, which is why I created Femy. info platform, where we provide modern, online courses to help women understand how their bodies work, prepare themselves for the inevitable changes that come with being a woman, and be able to pass this knowledge on to their daughters honestly and authentically, supporting the growth of a new generation of confident, health-conscious women.

I have been working in hyperbaric oxygen therapy since 2005, and between 2012-2018 I ran the Baromedical HBOT centre in Budakeszi. Currently I am the Medical Director of Balance Medical Centre in Lenti (Zala), where our complex musculoskeletal rehabilitation centre with HAUX Starmed-2200 eight-person private hyperbaric oxygen therapy Ke-Son chamber is engaged in therapeutic, rehabilitation and preventive activities. I have been involved in the healing, organizational and professional management of Balance Medical Center since its inception. I do scientific work, publish, build professional relationships, present at international medical conferences. I consider it my mission to raise awareness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in both professional and public forums, and to integrate the method into the co-professions.

The Blue Zone project aims to promote the principles of healthy living and longevity, which is closely linked to my work with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy plays a role in rehabilitation and improving general health, in addition to healing. Scientific research supports its anti-ageing effects.

In communities where there is a strong focus on health promotion, we often see stress management, physical activity and nutrition awareness. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy goes beyond these to optimise the body’s regeneration and functioning. My therapy not only supports physical and cognitive health, but also has an indirect positive impact on mental well-being.

I am Dr. Nelli Orvos, an HR and healthcare lawyer, as well as a data protection and patient advocate. Based on my experience of nearly 10 years in the public health care sector, I recognize that patient empowerment is essential to quality health care.

My recent involvement in the Blue Zone project aims to increase patients’ legal knowledge, helping them to know their rights in their vulnerable situation. To this end, I continuously organise trainings and workshops, providing useful information to the general public, healthcare workers, medical specialists and institutional management members on the importance of good communication and legal awareness.

Currently, as the CEO of Mediteam Szeged Zrt., I am working to ensure that our institution provides the most comprehensive and safe care possible for patients, and that by joining the Blue Zone project, we support patients’ rights and well-being in a safe healthcare environment.

I’ve been involved in the world of theatre and the arts for over 30 years and believe that creative expression is key to finding a balance between body and soul. The Blue Zone program is designed to promote healthy, long life, with emotional well-being and a sense of belonging to community as a cornerstone. Drama and improvisation are excellent tools to develop self-awareness, release everyday tensions and experience the joy of creation.

In my sessions you can learn how to connect more deeply with yourself and others, communicate more effectively and confidently step out of your comfort zone. Theatre and improvisation help you not only on stage, but in all areas of life – be it self-confidence, stress management or even improving social relationships.

One of the important elements of the Blue Zone is the community experience, as a stimulating environment is essential for a long and balanced life. Art is a universal language that connects us, unleashes creative energy and helps us live more fulfilling lives.

What can you expect on my programmes?

• Workshops: short, intensive small group sessions focusing on creativity and self-expression.
• Trainings: one or two-day programmes using drama and improvisation methods to help you unlock your potential.

If you want to get more out of yourself, improve your communication skills and become more confident in your everyday life, join me and experience the power of art and self-awareness!

I originally graduated as an environmental engineer, and my commitment to sustainability has been my life ever since. Yet, more than 25 years ago, I decided that I wanted to focus on human development rather than nature. Since then, I have been working as a trainer, coach and organisational development consultant, supporting individuals and companies to operate more efficiently and consciously.

I believe that all change comes from within and that real progress only happens when we commit to our own path. As Gandhi said:

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

As a coach, I help you to see your goals more clearly, find your resources and walk your path – even if it is sometimes challenging.

If you’re looking for me as an entrepreneur or business leader, I can help you create a workplace culture where colleagues not only get the job done, but stay motivated, engaged and successful in the long term.

Progress is a process – and you will not be alone on this journey with me.

I’m Péter Jászberényi, I’m a natural healer and conscious living practitioner, and I’ve been helping people live healthier, more balanced lives for over 25 years.

My research focuses on how to get the greatest results from the human body, mind and spirit.

During my travels in India, I studied ancient healing techniques and spiritual practices in the Himalayas. I also often visit Transylvania to learn about ancient ways of life and the secrets of living close to nature.

As an instructor, I teach Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Meditation techniques to help create harmony between body and mind. I am passionate about combining ancient wisdom with modern awareness.

I strive to inspire and support others to improve their lives through my work. I believe that the power of nature and inner awareness can radically transform our lives. For me, health is not just a physical state, but a complete harmony of body, mind and spirit. The methods I teach help participants to develop a deeper connection with themselves and the world.

Jászberény Tünde vagyok – anya, feleség és egy olyan szakember, aki hisz a belső egyensúly és a tudatos életmód fontosságában.

We face many challenges in our lives and managing them well is essential for our physical and mental well-being. My mission is to help others find their own balance, live more consciously, and give them effective tools to manage stress, maintain health and improve mental well-being.

Based on decades of experience, I created the Fairy Plan programme, which is based on methods such as movement, yoga, sound therapy, breathing techniques and relaxation. These have been scientifically proven to help create and maintain a balance between body and mind.

I believe that everyone can change their quality of life with the right tools and support. My aim is to help you navigate this process and to give you practical, easy-to-use tools.

Hi! I am Annamária Juhász, health promotion expert. I graduated in Economics from the University of Miskolc in 2006, since then I have been working as an assistant professor at the Marketing Institute of the Faculty of Economics. I have received several awards as an excellent lecturer and I am currently a PhD student at the Elemér Hantos Hantos School of Economics and Regional Sciences, where I am writing my dissertation on “Health Behaviour Development through Social Marketing Tools”.

I’m Róbert Kertész, the “Vegan Ironman,” and I’m passionate about a plant-based lifestyle, balancing sport and health.I decided to become an Ironman in 2011 and have been training dawn to dawn to achieve this goal.

In 2013 I switched to a plant-based diet and in 2014 I successfully completed the Ironman twice, winning the title of “Vegetarian of the Year”. Since then I have organised several lifestyle camps and lectures where I share the transformative power of a clean, conscious lifestyle.

It is important for me to make healthy living accessible and inspiring for others. With this in mind, I have written a trilogy of books in which I share 3,976 life stories that show how to transform your life in a more conscious, healthy direction.

I have been motivated by the Blue Zones lifestyle and the NEWSTART principles for a long time, and I am constantly learning and applying them. As a Blue Zone Project expert, I help others incorporate health-conscious living and perseverance into their daily lives, contributing to a long and fulfilling life.

“I grew up in Tiszalök, where I experienced first-hand the benefits of a chemical-free, nature-friendly lifestyle through my grandparents’ farming as a child. This approach has been an important part of my life ever since and is an important basis for my involvement in the Blue Zone Project.

I currently live in Nagytarcsa, where I have started a community garden programme. It’s a platform that brings together local people to share knowledge, experiences and support each other in creating a more sustainable way of living. We build on the power of community, acting together and finding solutions together – this is the ethos that is part of the Blue Zone’s founding principles.

If you are a company director:

Working with corporate organisations, I draw inspiration from the way nature works to create more efficient, sustainable systems. I now bring this experience to the Blue Zone Project: showing you how to harness the power of nature and community to help you and your team live longer, happier lives while running a more successful business.

If you are a private individual:

I will provide inspiration and practical advice to help you build more harmonious relationships with your environment, develop healthier habits and create strong, supportive communities. All this while moving you towards a more balanced, happier life.

I am Mónika Mesterházy, the founder and editor-in-chief of Életszépítők, an online eco-creative lifestyle magazine. I work as an institutional communicator, a certified social worker, and a child protection specialist with a mental health perspective. I have spent more than 20 years in the world of written media as a journalist and editor, working for county and national newspapers. I created Életszépítők Eco-creative Lifestyle Magazine in 2013, where you will find useful and interesting articles in the fields of home decoration, DIY, child rearing, and gastronomy that help you create an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

I have been actively working with primary and secondary school students since 2018. My interests focus on experiential pedagogy, learning methodology, career guidance, and the development of social competencies and skills. I regularly lead skill-building and creative sessions aimed at supporting the mental, emotional, and social well-being of young people.

I graduated from the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Pécs, then completed vocational training at the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology of ELTE. I earned my master’s degree at the Institute of Mental Hygiene of Semmelweis University, and I have been applying the Igazgyöngy Art School’s “Social Competence Development through Visual Education” methodology for years.

I am a member of the National Association of Hungarian Journalists, a member of the Department of Elderly Affairs and Social Dialogue, and a member of the Department of Social Policy within the MÚOSZ. In my work, the promotion of sustainable and healthy lifestyles is of utmost importance to me, which is closely related to the Blue Zone project.

Based on the research of the Blue Zones, it is clear that the secret to a happy and long life lies in social connections, mentality and a healthy lifestyle. My goal is to provide readers with information to make conscious decisions in their lives, thus contributing to a more balanced, harmonious everyday life.

I am a health therapist, holistic health coach, gut specialist and founder of Edinaturally. My mission is to help leaders, entrepreneurs and business people optimise their health in addition to their everyday challenges.

My work focuses on gut health and nutrition, because I believe that a balanced life is based on proper digestion, a strong immune system and a conscious, personalised diet. These are essential for maintaining energy levels, improving concentration and maintaining long-term health.

As a manager, I know exactly the challenges of time pressure and the constant need to perform. That’s why I have developed my individual mentoring programmes, training materials and workshops, which:

• They provide personalised nutrition plans to regenerate gut flora and increase energy levels.
• They teach you how to adopt simple, sustainable, healthy habits in your everyday life.
• They give guidance on how to balance eating and stress management to give your body and mind maximum support.

I gained my professional knowledge at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I was taught by Dan Buettner, the creator of the Blue Zones concept. This inspiration led me to integrate the principles of the Longevity lifestyle into my work.

My aim is to help you achieve peak performance in the long term, while maintaining your health and quality of life, with simple yet effective, personalised solutions.

“I’m Nikolett Diána Szarvas, founder of HerbClinic, a biomedical engineer, a health therapist and a mother. I am the author of the Nature Healer in the Family series of books, which has already published five volumes.

The mission of HerbClinic is to educate people about the effective use of herbs, to preserve and restore the health of children and women. We have built a specialised health promotion regime based on the use of herbs, which supports us from conception to the end of our lives. Our system currently consists of two educational card games, five textbooks, two courses and twenty-seven specialised premium herbal tea blends.

Nature gives us everything, we just need to know what to accept from it.”

I’m Noémi Szász, a Nutritionist and food scientist. I graduated from the Faculty of Nutrition at Semmelweis University and since 2017 I have gained experience in different segments of the food industry in several FMCG companies. These experiences have deepened my knowledge of food, especially in the field of innovation and product development. In my work, I have the opportunity to learn about the latest market trends, which allows me to make an informed judgement on whether a new product is a real functional food or just a marketing gimmick.

Sport and a healthy lifestyle have always played an important role in my life. I have been running at amateur level for ten years, mainly half marathons, which required a deeper understanding of nutrition and the effects of nutrients on the body. Over the years, I have also applied my knowledge in small collaborations, research and consultancy, which allows me to offer a comprehensive approach to nutrition support.

I am Bertalan Thuróczy, biomedical engineer, longevity researcher.

I grew up in Rákóczifalva, and after studying electrical engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), I turned to the medical field. After completing a joint Master’s degree in biomedical engineering at BME and Semmelweis University, I joined a Hungarian pharmaceutical company, where I am still working, paradoxically, on the need to reduce the number of drugs we take: I am involved in the development of digital health solutions that use artificial intelligence. I am also doing my PhD in longevity research.

In the Blue Zone project research, we will work with a number of doctors to develop science-based solutions that contribute to long-term health and well-being. Our research in the coming years will aim to provide valuable new knowledge to the scientific community and help the Blue Zone community to develop conscious, healthy lifestyles.

In addition, I wrote my story so far, from my recovery from cancer to my pursuit of longevity, in Run, Believe, Live, and I published a second volume, Super sapiens, about scientific, health and technological innovations, biosensors, wearable devices that help readers better understand modern medical and biotechnology trends and the functioning of their own bodies. As a continuation of my commitment to healthy living and sustainable well-being, I hope that the research of the Blue Zone project will be prominent not only in the domestic but also in the international arena.

I am Pálné Turcsán, Zita, I have been working in healthcare for 45 years, and my main areas of expertise are home care, wound care, and the prevention and treatment of bedsores. Over the years, I have met many patients and their relatives, and I have experienced that in many cases, proper home care is lacking or not effective enough. However, with a little attention and the right methods, a lot can be done to improve the quality of life and avoid complications.

How does all this relate to the Blue Zone?

The Blue Zone aims to help people live longer and healthier lives. This includes disease prevention, proper exercise, nutrition and – often overlooked – proper care. If someone is struggling with an illness, recovering from surgery, or has difficulty moving around in their older age, professional home care is key.

The most common problems I encounter every day:

• Prevention and treatment of bedsores – What aids are recommended? How often should you change your position? How can you recognize the initial symptoms in time?
• Wound Dressing Techniques – It doesn’t matter what kind of dressing we use, as wound healing is greatly influenced by choosing the right dressing and using it correctly. I will show you how to professionally care for your loved ones so that they heal faster and without complications.
• Ostomy Therapy – Stoma care, skin care, and nutrition are all important aspects of stoma care. Using the right products and techniques is essential to avoid discomfort and complications.
• Home Care Basics – How can you care for your loved one without overwhelming yourself? What are the practical tools and techniques that make everyday life easier?
