Let’s Do Health: How To Transform Modern Healthcare
In this thought-provoking keynote, Dr Rangan Chatterjee challenges one of the greatest misconceptions in modern medicine: that healthcare is truly about health. The reality, he argues, is that today’s healthcare systems are overwhelmingly designed to react to illness rather than prevent it. Despite endless conversations about prevention, most chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s dementia begin developing silently in the body decades before symptoms appear. Yet intervention typically only comes once people are already sick.
Dr Chatterjee presents a bold alternative vision for the future based upon proactive, personalised and preventive healthcare. He will explain why regularly measuring the 11 most important metabolic health biomarkers and combining them with tailored lifestyle guidance is the most important step we can take to transform the health of the nation. It is a revolutionary approach designed to empower individuals long before disease takes hold. The result is transformative in the short-term with more energy, better mood and increased vitality. And, it will dramatically reduce the risk of people getting sick in the future.
This inspiring keynote offers a powerful blueprint for how healthcare must evolve if we truly want to transform the health of the nation
Gut Health: The Science of Everyday Longevity
What we eat every day has the power to extend healthspan or shorten it. In this session, Dr Megan Rossi explores the latest science behind nutrition, supplements and personalised diets, separating evidence-based strategies from wellness noise. Discover why the gut microbiome is increasingly recognised as a gateway to many aspects of healthy ageing – influencing everything from metabolic and immune health to brain function. You’ll leave empowered with practical, science-backed strategies to support your gut and make sustainable choices that can help you live not just longer, but healthier.
Weight Loss and Metabolic Health: Redefining the Goal
Weight loss is no longer a one size fits all conversation. This debate brings together differing perspectives on metabolic health, insulin sensitivity and long term sustainability from fasting and lifestyle led approaches to medicated interventions such as GLP-1s. Hear experts challenge assumptions, weigh risks versus benefits and explore what truly supports long term health, body confidence and a healthy metabolism.
Sleep as the Ultimate Longevity Tool
Sleep may be the most underrated longevity intervention we have. This session dives into sleep science and recovery exploring how sleep impacts ageing, cognition, metabolism and immune health. Walk away with actionable strategies to improve your sleep quality and long term vitality.
Cognition & Focus: Training the Brain to Age Better
Aging well is not just physical, it’s cognitive of course and they’re symbiotic. This session explores neuroplasticity, brain health and mental resilience, showing how lifestyle, movement, nutrition and stress management can support focus, memory and cognitive longevity at every stage of life.
Digital Longevity: The Apps and AI Tracking Your Future Self
From wearables to AI powered insights, digital tools are transforming how we understand our health: we’ve never had more options for tracking how we live. This session deeply explores the best apps, platforms and emerging technologies, including digital twins that help track, predict and optimise long term wellbeing while putting data back in your control and avoiding information overload.
NAD+: Separating the Hype From the Science
NAD+ has become one of the most talked-about molecules in longevity – but what is it, why does it matter and does boosting it really live up to the hype? In this evidence-led session, longevity scientist Dr. Nichola Conlon unpacks the science behind NAD+, exploring its central role in cellular health and biological age. She will explain why NAD+ levels decline over time, why this has sparked so much interest in the longevity world and how to navigate the growing number of NAD+ boosting interventions with a more informed, critical eye.
Warm Up with Joe Wicks
Step away from your seat and get your body moving with a quick burst of energy led by fitness coach and wellness advocate Joe Wicks. In this fun and accessible five minute workout, Joe will guide the audience through simple movements designed to wake up the body, boost mood and remind us how powerful even a few minutes of movement can be for our long term health.
No equipment, no pressure just a quick reset to get everyone energised and ready for the rest of the day.
Cardio vs. Resistance — How to Train Smart
Exercise is essential for longevity but striking the right balance is key. This session explores how cardiovascular and resistance training contribute differently to ageing well, bone health, muscle preservation and metabolic function. Learn how to train smarter, not harder for long term results.
Friends and Family Longevity
Longevity is more powerful when shared. This session looks at how social connection, community and family habits influence healthspan and how your own journey can inspire healthier behaviours in those around you. Discover why relationships may be one of the strongest predictors of long life and why N-of-1 should be N-of-Friends and Family .
Biological Age Testing: How, What, Why
Chronological age is how many candles are on your birthday cake, biological age is the key marker for your actual age and your pace of ageing. This session breaks down diagnostic tools, from blood markers to epigenetics, explaining what biological age testing can (and can’t) tell you and how to use these insights wisely in your longevity journey.
Back to Nature — The Most Powerful Longevity Tool
Modern life has pulled us away from nature to the detriment of our health. This session explores why reconnecting with the natural world improves mental health, immune function and longevity, and how embracing outdoor practices can have profound long-term benefits
