Founder, Elyna Douglas spent almost a decade in global product launches at Apple and Google. She was good at the work, and for years she treated the migraines, the fatigue and the chronic stress as the price of being good at it.

At 35, surgery to remove a cancerous tumour stopped everything. Recovery gave her something the job never had: time to look at what she'd normalised. The more she learned about what desk-based work does to the body, the more she recognised the same patterns in the people around her, most of whom had no idea anything was wrong.

It wasn't the first time she'd seen the difference. At 26 she ran a glamping business, on her feet in fields outside London every day, and felt stronger than she ever had at a desk. Work can give to the body or take from it. Most modern work takes, and almost nobody is keeping count.

The Work Body Lab exists to keep count, and to change it before the body has to force the conversation.
