Longevity discussion meetup

Informal longevity discussion group for people with backgrounds in science, medicine, tech, engineering, business or anyone interested in the future of health and medicine.

Suggested discussion topics on the night:
Why lifespan ≠ healthspan

Lessons from Blue Zones and centenarian studies

Which biomarkers best predict healthy aging (e.g., ApoB, VO₂ max, grip strength)

Role of continuous monitoring (CGM, HRV, wearables)

Emerging blood tests for aging clocks (epigenetics, proteomics, metabolomics)

Optimal nutrition patterns (low-carb, Mediterranean, protein distribution)

Exercise strategies: Zone 2 training, resistance training, VO₂ max training

Sleep optimization and circadian rhythm alignment

Stress reduction and psychological resilience

Current pharmacological tools (metformin, rapalogs, GLP-1s, statins, PCSK9 inhibitors)

Supplements with evidence vs hype (creatine, omega-3, spermidine, Ca-AKG, NR/NMN)

Longevity devices (saunas, cold therapy, red light, neurostimulation)

Advances in diagnostics (liquid biopsies, home blood testing, AI-driven risk prediction)

Gene editing, senolytics, stem cells, organ regeneration

Epigenetic reprogramming — realistic timelines?

Digital twins & personalized simulations for health decisions

How longevity medicine differs from conventional GP/primary care

The ethics of prescribing preventive medications to healthy midlife adults

Reimbursement models — making longevity medicine accessible

What simple tests or habits to start with now

How to prioritize interventions (Pareto principle in longevity)

Case studies: famous figures or personal journeys in longevity

Implications of extended healthspan for retirement, work, and family life

Policy and insurance adaptation

Building communities of practice (local groups, digital platforms)
