Kloë Girier: Diagnosed at 44 & Now Leading a Neurodiversity Revolution with RES8T

In this episode of the Levitas podcast, Dr Ash Kapoor sits down with Kloë Girier, the founder of RES8T, to discuss her transformative journey following a late diagnosis of autism, ADHD, and bipolar at the age of 44.

Kloë shares how this diagnosis provided a long-awaited explanation for her life experiences and inspired her to create a digital manual for others navigating similar paths.

They explore the "double-edged sword" of neurodiversity, discussing how the same energy and drive that can lead to entrepreneurial success can also result in burnout and addictive patterns if not properly managed.

The conversation dives deep into the RES8T app's unique framework, which is built upon eight pillars of health: physiological, physical, safety (accommodation), mental, psychological, spiritual, self-actualisation, and self-achievement.

Kloë explains why standard medical models often fail neurodiverse individuals and how her AI-powered platform aims to provide a visual, community-driven representation of health that helps users identify where they might be lacking, such as basic hydration or sleep.

Listeners will also gain practical insights into lifestyle management, including the profound impact Kloë found in becoming teetotal, improving her diet, and managing environmental stressors like noise and light.

Whether you are a parent of a neurodiverse child, a high-performing entrepreneur, or someone seeking to understand your own brain better, this video offers a hopeful and practical guide to recalibrating your life for long-term vitality
