The Wellness Address Book by Carla Abiraad, Founder of Dopamin

“A few years ago, health issues forced me to completely rethink my lifestyle. It was a real eye-opener. I realized that we can take proactive steps, that the body responds From truly listen to it, that longevity isn’t about gurus but about science—and that this science should be accessible to everyone. I wanted to make this my mission. Since then, I’ve never let go of this cause.”

“The shop in the Marais, just a stone's throw from my office. There I find my go-to items:

• the Bisou Balm Violette_FR, which I absolutely love

• the Limitless Mascara Ilia

• theAçai All-in-One Serum and theAçai All-in-One Moisturizer Face CreamRudolph Care

• theBioregenerate Rosehip Oil byPai Skincare, which I’ve been using for over six years

• TheAntipodesAura Manuka Honey Mask, which has also been a staple for six years

"The list is long :)"

“My morning walk with my dog, without a doubt. I deliberately chose an office that’s a thirty-minute walk from my home so I could make this a daily ritual: walking, having my coffee, seeing the sun, getting some exercise, and cuddling with my dog before the day even begins. It makes all the difference.

On a completely different note: a dip in the ocean the morning after a big night out. Extreme, but unbeatable.”

“The South, without a doubt—between the French Mediterranean and Lebanon, where my roots lie.”

"This light, this way of life where self-care is effortless, where everything revolves around the table, nature, taking one’s time, and togetherness. It is my compass and the foundation of my definition of health."

“The Fantaisie Spa. In addition to offering a treatment menu designed by the brand Holidermie featuring soothing facial and body treatments, the spa features several hot and cold pools and floatation tanks, as well as a hammam, an infrared sauna, and a traditional sauna—all right in the 9th arrondissement. The place is gorgeous. We even hosted a Dopamin event there!”
