About Dr Julia Jones

For over 30 years, Julia has been a pioneer in combining psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science to revolutionize health and performance. Her journey into biohacking began in the 1990s when, during a visit to a US Navy SEAL base in California, she was shown how to use music to increase endurance, reduce stress, improve sleep. This sparked her lifelong fascination with simple 'hacks', especially the power of sound and its impact on the human body.

As a musician, DJ, and Sport & Exercise Scientist, Julia has developed unique methods of using sound to optimize health and well-being. Also known as "Dr. Rock," she’s worked with elite athletes, Grammy-winning musicians, business leaders and celebrities, helping them unlock their full potential using simple, science-backed techniques.

Julia’s academic foundation is as impressive as her practical experience. She completed postgraduate training in applied neuroscience at King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience. As part of her recent 5-year research project, she deepened her knowledge through Stanford Medical School’s Nutrition Science and Cambridge University’s Genetic Science modules.

Her published research in the 1990s explored the power of synchronized exercise to music, and her PhD at the University of Westminster examined the lifelong impact of music memories from our youth. This research led to her collaboration with the NHS, where she designed the music strategy for their first Dementia Village in 2018.

Julia's expertise expands beyond music, incorporating cutting-edge health strategies such as daylight exposure, cold water  therapy, fasting, and breathing techniques. Her mission is to tackle chronic illnesses through simple, sustainable habit changes built on a handful of 'hacks' that help our ancient evolutionary biology work in the modern world.

She is also the author of the acclaimed Health Trilogy books: The Music Diet, Neuron, and F-Bomb. These Amazon bestseller books offer accessible, science-based strategies for enhancing health and longevity.

In 2023, after completing a five-year research project, Julia launched Holidity, a breakthrough brand combining evolutionary science, technology, and human-led accountability to help people make lasting changes to their health. In recent years Julia's pioneering work has attracted increasing media attention and she delivers enthralling live talks that encourage audiences to update their thinking, ditch the fads and fix their habits.

When she’s not leading the charge in wellness innovation, Julia rocks the stage as the lead guitarist of the all-female band Pretty Crap, who recently performed at London’s legendary Troubadour.
