Research Focus
Epigenetics of aging, cellular reprogramming, NAD+ metabolism, and sirtuins
Key Contributions
- Demonstrated the role of sirtuins in longevity regulation
- Research on NAD+ and its precursors as potential aging interventions
- Pioneered the Information Theory of Aging
Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.
Dr. Valter Longo
USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology
Research Focus
Fasting, dietary interventions, cellular mechanisms of aging, and longevity
Key Contributions

- Studies on dietary interventions for disease prevention
- Developed the Longevity Diet concept
Periodic fasting can trigger powerful cellular pathways that protect against aging and disease.
Dr. Morgan Levine
Yale School of Medicine
Research Focus
Biomarkers of aging, epigenetic clocks, biological age measurement
Key Contributions
- Development of advanced epigenetic clocks
- Phenotypic Age algorithm to measure biological aging
- Research on the impact of lifestyle factors on biological age
Biological age gives us insight into how well our bodies are functioning and may better predict health outcomes than chronological age.
Integrative Physicians
These medical doctors combine traditional medical training with evidence-based approaches to healthy aging and preventive health.
Dr. Peter Attia
Longevity Physician & Researcher
Clinical Focus
Lifespan extension, metabolic health, exercise physiology, nutritional biochemistry
Key Contributions
- Research on optimization of healthspan through quantitative medicine
- Studies on the relationship between metabolic health and longevity
- Development of personalized exercise protocols for different life stages
The goal isn't just to live longer—it's to preserve cognitive and physical function until the end of life.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick
Biomedical Scientist
Clinical Focus
Nutritional health, micronutrients, heat stress, brain health, metabolism
Key Contributions
- Research on micronutrient inadequacies and health outcomes
- Studies on the importance of sauna use and heat stress
- Work on sulforaphane and other phytochemicals for cellular health
Genetic predispositions may load the gun, but lifestyle factors pull the trigger.
Dr. Mark Hyman
Functional Medicine Physician
Clinical Focus
Functional medicine, nutrition, inflammation, gut health, detoxification
Key Contributions
- Development of the functional medicine approach to chronic disease
- Research on food as medicine and dietary approaches to inflammation
- Work on detoxification pathways and environmental health impacts
Food is not just calories, it's information. It talks to your DNA and tells it what to do.
Nutrition Experts
These specialists focus on how dietary approaches can influence aging processes and support healthier aging through evidence-based nutritional interventions.
Dr. Dominic D'Agostino
Associate Professor, USF
Nutrition Focus
Ketogenic diets, metabolic therapies, exogenous ketones, metabolic health
Key Contributions
- Research on therapeutic applications of ketogenic diets
- Development of exogenous ketone supplements
- Studies on metabolic optimization for cellular health
Metabolic flexibility may be one of the most important factors in maintaining health as we age.
Dr. Satchin Panda
Professor, Salk Institute
Nutrition Focus
Circadian rhythms, time-restricted eating, chronobiology of metabolism
Key Contributions
- Pioneered research on time-restricted eating
- Studies on circadian biology and metabolic health
- Development of circadian-aligned dietary approaches
When you eat may matter as much as what you eat for maintaining optimal health.
Dr. Sara Gottfried
Harvard-trained Physician
Nutrition Focus
Women's hormonal health, precision nutrition, detoxification, gut health
Key Contributions
- Research on nutritional approaches to hormonal balance
- Development of personalized nutrition protocols for women's health
- Integration of genomics into nutritional recommendations
Food is information that tells your genes how to express themselves. Choose wisely.
