Overheard At LongevityFest 2025: 5 Key Insights To Integrate For 2026 Practice Success

The longevity field has reached an inflection point: practitioners can extend lifespan, but the real clinical challenge lies in preserving the function and capacity that make those years worth living. Cognitive decline, muscle loss, and metabolic dysfunction are just a few of the conditions widening the gap between lifespan and healthspan as patients age without sustainable physiologic resilience.

Against this backdrop, LongevityFest 2025 unfolded December 12-14 at the Venetian Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas. Over three intensive days, more than 9,000 healthcare practitioners engaged with 170+ leading experts across 220+ specialized sessions. This year’s record-setting gathering created a vital nexus for exploring the interventions that preserve brainspan, build metabolic resilience, and protect the physiologic systems that determine how patients age.

The following insights represent a fraction of what attendees learned and are implementing in 2026, including the frameworks, tools, and intervention strategies emerging from the world’s largest longevity medicine event that translate directly to patient care and practice success, putting them way ahead of the curve.

“Lean” Into a Longer, Healthier Life: Making the Muscle-Longevity Connection

Can getting stronger help you live longer? Peter Attia, MD, says yes. Dr. Attia, a Stanford-trained physician and co-founder of the premium preventive health and longevity concept Biograph, is one of the most visible figures in longevity medicine. He recently spoke about his firm belief that cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle mass, and strength have a much higher association with longevity than traditional diagnostic health markers.

“The data are pretty clear,” Dr. Attia told 60 Minutes contributing correspondent Norah O’Donnell during a recent interview. “When you look at things like cardiorespiratory fitness, when you look at muscle mass, when you look at strength, they have a much higher association than things like even cholesterol and blood pressure.”

The Peptide Playbook: Targeted Therapies For Maximizing Vitality, Powering Peak Performance

Men’s Health Month

In today’s healthcare landscape, men’s health faces many challenges. Chronic stress, environmental exposures, aging, and age-related conditions, alongside rising rates of various diseases across the population, all significantly impair physiological functions, cellular regeneration, and overall vitality. These factors often manifest in metabolic disorders, excess weight, hormonal dysfunctions, persistent fatigue, reduced libido, and more.  

Peptide-based therapeutics have emerged as a promising approach to address these issues, utilizing synthetic versions of endogenous signaling molecules to bolster and optimize biological systems. By harnessing the power of peptides, healthcare practitioners can target specific cellular processes with remarkable precision to get to the root of the problem. The applications of this therapy in men’s health are extensive and diverse; they include augmenting hormone production, enhancing muscle growth and recovery, improving energy metabolism, accelerating tissue repair, and many other uses — both currently used in practice and with significant promise down the pipeline.
