Welcome to The Fast. In this first season of We Care Spa’s podcast and wellness series, we invite nine of our favorite thought-leaders and innovators to share their own joy of healthy living.
Hosted by Chairman of the Board at ISPA, Patrick Huey, conversations explore new beginnings, ancient fundamentals, the realities of starting a business, the power of forgiveness, microbiomes, why babies like to dance, and more. In every episode we see the moments of clarity when a person throws what no longer serves a purpose into the fire, and how that choice moves them forward.
With over 17 years of experience in the global luxury hospitality and wellness industries, Patrick Huey has built a dynamic career as an international leader within this elite field.
Patrick’s expertise and his love of conversation lend naturally to his position this season on The Fast. He says “What I was most excited to see was how such different guests all responded to these ‘ah-hah’ moments. I love to hear the energy in their voice when they come to their own understanding of what wellness means.”

It started with an ingredient label. Amra Hajdarevic was pregnant and expecting a daughter. Desperate to provide her newborn with the opportunity to live free of environmental toxins and the chemicals in everyday products, Amra began researching and studying everything she could.
