Book Dr. Ludidi as a speaker

Health is not a matter of luck or willpower, but a skill you can learn. Nutrition scientist, bestselling author and private coach Dr. Samefko Ludidi translates science into what people can actually use, and connects it with what he learnt from communities that still live in the rhythm of their environment.

Energy is a result of your environment

45–60 min · For employers and teams

From a vegetable garden in South Limburg to the Himba in northern Namibia: how environment, rhythm and food together decide how much energy people have. Why vitality doesn’t start with willpower, and why employers and caterers are the architects of that energy.

Health is a skill

45–60 min · For leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals

Not talent, not chance: a skill you can learn and maintain, built on four pillars: rhythm, food, movement and rest. Four pillars, one order: rhythm first, food follows. Why quick fixes fail, and what lasting change asks.

Why we eat what we eat

45–60 min · For a broad audience, food and hospitality

Our preference for sweet, fat and salt is not a weakness but a survival signal, shaped over hundreds of thousands of years, and modern processed products hijack it. Understanding instead of blaming yourself.

What we forgot along the way

Inspirational keynote

What communities like the San, the Himba and the Hadzabe show us about energy, recovery and ageing, and what we have lost in our always-on culture.

Longevity without the hype

For audiences beyond the hype

A sober look at ageing and lifespan, based on what science actually shows instead of promises and sales talk.

Ramadan and performance

Every year

For sports clubs, teams and employers, in the weeks before Ramadan

How do you stay sharp, strong and well recovered while fasting from dawn to sunset? Dr. Ludidi has guided elite fighters, footballers and their teams through Ramadan for years. He stays out of the religious side and explains the biology: hydration, what and when to eat between iftar and suhoor, training load and sleep, and why the weeks of preparation before Ramadan make the difference.

Why Dr. Ludidi

Science based, human oriented
lived wisdom

Science as the foundation

A nutrition and movement scientist with a PhD in gastroenterology and a role as Chief Science Officer. What he says is grounded, and he can explain where the limit of what we really know lies.

Fieldwork no one else has

His research with the San, the Himba and the Hadzabe brings stories and images no other speaker in health can offer. Not mood shots, but the place his story comes from.

Elite sport as a test bed

As Head of Nutrition at Africa’s first WorldTour cycling team and through his work with UFC athletes, he worked where nutrition measurably makes the difference. That makes his advice concrete.
