Discover the future of Longevity Medicine.

Dr. Robin Berzin is a Columbia-trained physician, functional medicine pioneer, and one of the leading voices in longevity, women's health, and the future of medicine. She is the Founder, Chief Health Officer, and Chair of the Board of Parsley Health, the first national and in-network functional medicine and longevity clinic in the US, and has spent her career making the case that chronic disease is largely reversible — if you treat the right causes.

Her book State Change, published by Simon & Schuster, argues that the mental health epidemic is being misdiagnosed: the real causes are physical, and they're fixable. She has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Tech Pioneer, named one of the 100 Most Innovative Women in Business by Inc. Magazine, and praised by Fast Company for founding one of the World's Most Innovative Companies.

Dr. Berzin serves as an advisor to numerous health companies, including Whoop, Ritual, and Nodal, and writes the Offscript with RBMD newsletter on female longevity. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, three children, and two dogs.

Jeffrey Bland, PhD, is a pioneering figure in the food-is-medicine movement and a leading expert in nutritional biochemistry. As founder of Big Bold Health, he now focuses on longevity through immune health, championing the concept of immune rejuvenation as a pathway to healthy aging. Dr. Bland's work highlights the powerful role of plant polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids in supporting immune resilience. Widely known as the "father of Functional Medicine," he has spent more than 50 years advancing nutrition science, regenerative agriculture, and personalized approaches to lifelong vitality.

Dr. Bland began his career in academia as a university professor. In the early 1980s, he became a protégé of two-time Nobel Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling. Dr. Bland then spent decades as a natural products industry insider and entrepreneur, while also serving as a scientific advisor and mentor to dynamic founders and leading brands.

A lifelong educator, Dr. Bland has traveled the world many times over as a renowned speaker. In 1991, he and his wife, Susan, founded The Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2012, they established another educational nonprofit called The Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute, which brings together researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, and other stakeholders to focus on new models of healthcare delivery, advancements in medical nutrition therapy, and exciting emerging science.

Dr. Bland is the author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life, as well as additional books and many research papers. His next book will be published by HarperCollins in March 2027. The Nourished Gene: Rejuvenate Your Immunity, Reverse Chronic Symptoms, and Activate Your Longevity is now available for pre-order from all major booksellers.

Prof. Brian K. Kennedy is one of the world's foremost biologists of aging. He is Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and Physiology at the National University of Singapore, and Director of the Centre for Healthy Longevity at the National University Health System — with a PhD in biology from MIT.

His research helped uncover the roles of the mTOR pathway and the sirtuins in aging — pathways that began, improbably, in yeast cells and turned out to be conserved all the way to humans. Rapamycin, the mTOR inhibitor his field rallied around, is the single most robust intervention known to extend lifespan in animals; Brian now runs human clinical studies (alpha-ketoglutarate, rapamycin) to see what actually moves biologic age.

From 2010 to 2016 he was President and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in California. He also directs the Asian Centre for Reproductive Longevity and Equality, tackling ovarian aging and women's health — because the ovary is one of the fastest-aging organs, and menopause accelerates aging across the body.

His message is democratic. "It's not about billionaires — it's about billions": two billion people will be over 65 by 2050. He argues we must fund the basic, curiosity-driven science that answers why we age at all — and hand people back the knowledge to make their own decisions.

Ying Baron is an entrepreneur operating at the intersection of longevity science and business.

She is Executive Director and Co-Founder of LiveBeyond, a global longevity advisory firm, and BeyondClock, a chemistry-based biological age clock built on 60+ routine clinical biomarkers.

Julie is not a scientist — she builds the bridge.

Through LiveBeyond, she works with hospitals, clinics, and biotech companies to design longevity protocols, validate treatments, and structure preventive health models that can function at institutional scale.

Through BeyondClock, she helps commercialize a one-of-a-kind clinical chemistry clock — transforming routine health checkup into a measurable indicator of biological aging. Her focus is turning science into tools doctors can use and markets can adopt.

With over two decades of experience investing in and building ventures at industry inflection points — from commodities and space to longevity — Julie brings commercial sharpness, strategic discipline, and execution focus. Her core question is simple: how do you take real science and build a viable, scalable business around it?

She sees longevity not as wellness culture, but as an economic shift — redefining prevention, productivity, and sustainable human capital.

Julie speaks internationally on science-to-market execution, biological age measurement, female health, and building durable businesses in the healthspan economy.
