In December 2022, we participated in the largest anti-aging medicine event in history. Longevity Fest Las Vegas 2022 Congress brought together more than 5,500 guests, 120 world-renowned speakers and educators, and 400 companies shaping the anti-aging medicine market. Over the course of four days, we had the opportunity to learn about the latest scientific reports, the results of cutting-edge research and the practical experience of the most prominent specialists.
It's fascinating how many people gathered to learn about what's happening in this growing field. Among the many fascinating lectures, the organizers decided to send out information about the 5 key factors of longevity to Longevity Fest 2022 attendees after the conference.
Nitric oxide (NO), was the subject of numerous presentations by lecturers and a one-day pre-conference workshop. Dr. Nathan Bryan, a prominent nitric oxide researcher known as a pioneer in the field of NO, emphasized the importance of this compound for longevity, while sharing his professional insights. Here are some highlights from his session:
Legendary innovator and entrepreneur Dr. Peter Diamandis took over the Longevity Fest main stage to deliver his keynote address on longevity breakthroughs, including the latest exponential technologies and the ever-growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the future of medicine. Dr. Diamandis highlighted the ongoing transformation from sick care to continuous healthcare, which will depend in large part on the robust capabilities of wearables, sensors, nanobots, and other AI-based technologies. Below are some important takeaways from his speech:
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are no longer a novelty or a unique sight, as their growing popularity in the wellness space has led to a dramatic increase in the number of on-demand hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Widely recognized for its ability to reduce inflammation, increase stem cell production and accelerate wound healing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) remains the subject of intense research, and emerging discoveries continue to expand its clinical applications.
Joseph C. Maroon, M.D., a pioneer in neuroscience and neurosurgery, examined the established and emerging therapeutic benefits and revealed the latest findings on the neurological effects of HBOT. Here are some key findings from his lecture:
Cortisol, mainly associated with stress, is a hormone essential for life and optimal health. Cortisol deficiency can manifest as mental and physical fatigue, low blood sugar, low blood pressure and hypersensitivity to stress. Meanwhile, excess cortisol can lead to weight gain, obesity, high blood pressure, loss of bone mass and edema.
Renowned hormone health pioneer, speaker and educator, Thierry Hertoghe, M.D., stressed the importance of maintaining proper hormone levels, the ideal balance between excess and deficiency, to improve patients' health, life expectancy and quality of life. Below are some conclusions from his lecture:
Researchers are increasingly focusing on potential pharmaceutical interventions to combat the undesirable side effects of aging. The two most promising therapeutic agents for preventing age-related diseases and promoting longevity are rapamycin and metformin, although both require more conclusive scientific evidence before they can be recommended for clinical use.
Renowned longevity researcher Dr. Robert Lufkin, M.D., presented the latest scientific evidence on the anti-aging effects of drugs during his lecture. Here are some key findings from the session:
These are just a few of the many amazing anti-aging breakthroughs and longevity innovations unveiled at Longevity Fest 2022. But we already know that longevity now is available on demand. In our VIMED Medical Center in Warsaw, methods that were discussed for the first time at the conference in Las Vegas have been used for 16 years.
