"Where focus goes, energy flows."
Tony Robbins
We’re Stefano and Elena, creators of Daring Hub and Zenlace. One year ago our lives were completely different from now. Yes, we both had a challenging yet rewarding job which made us happy, but we had been struggling with sleeping disorders, bad headaches, neck stiffness and pain for weeks. We were also putting on weight for no reason! The doctors suggested that we took a serum cortisol test and…Surprise surprise, both of us had high levels of cortisol in our blood.
We soon found out that cortisol is our body’s main stress hormone and that it affects almost every organ and tissue!
They explained to us that only a normal level of cortisol helps to respond to stress, maintain blood pressure, fight infection, regulate blood sugar and even metabolism. They also added that in order to sleep better at night without taking any medications we definitely had to change our work-life balance or, at least, to find a way to relax during the day, maybe with a daily massage or meditation.
Easier said than done, right? Well, maybe not.

During the following days we decided to do some (a lot of) research and these are the results:
- stress is much more dangerous than expected
- serotonine, dopamine and endorphines, our positive hormones, are our best friends
- a neck massage can reduce the cortisol in our blood almost immediately
- it also promotes the release of positive hormones
- positive hormones increase mental relaxation and improve mental focus
- poor posture, for example in front of a screen, is one of the main causes of neck pain
- meditation and mindfulness help reduce stress and soften anxiety
Zenlace stems from our findings: we aspired to combine our shared appreciation for Zen Buddhism mindset, based on meditation (“Zen” comes from the Sanskrit word for “meditation”) and self-improvement, to the benefits of a cervical massage.
Some months into it and the first Zenlace was born: we started to use it at work, on the train and, obviously, at home, only 15′ a day
We both felt much better in terms of sleep quality and focus in just few days, but we also wanted to check our cortisol levels. Three weeks later we had our blood tested again and we were amazed at the results: everything was back to normal!
