JANUARY 29-31, 2027
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
Add healthy years to life – and life to years
A three-day healthy aging and longevity summit built for people who want the science, not the hype: nutrition, exercise, brain health, and healthspan strategy from physicians and researchers who treat this as medicine, not marketing.
Jan 29 – 31, 2027
3 days, beachside
Beachside Hillton
across from the Pacific Ocean
Physicians & the public
welcome each day
NO POLITICS · NO PRODUCT HYPE · NO MIRACLE CURES — ONLY EVIDENCE-INFORMED HEALTHSPAN STRATEGY
— THE CONUNDRUM
We already won the first battle.
This summit is about the second.
Clean water, sanitation, antibiotics, and safer childbirth roughly doubled human lifespan in a few generations — almost none of it by slowing aging itself. That work is largely done. The open question now is what fills the extra decades.
01
Lifespan is not healthspan
Living to 120 with the last 40 years spent frail and medicated is not the goal most people actually want. The goal is staying capable, for as long as possible.
02
Compression of morbidity
Geroscience’s working goal: postpone illness so disability is compressed into only the final stretch of life, not decades of it.
03
Most of it is within reach
Nutrition, exercise, sleep, and purpose remain the strongest levers we have — before any conversation about peptides, hormones, or biomarkers.
How do we maximize healthspan and truly live Life to its fullest?
The topics are the most relevant and salient issues to control healthspan.
The speakers are inspired experts. The members in the audience are pilgrims seeking a better way to live and age.
— WHAT WE’LL COVER
Every major lever in healthy aging, in one weekend.
Rigorous science, physician education, and practical implementation — in the same room. No single conference usually manages all three.
| Nutrition for Healthy Aging Deficient, sufficient, and optimal intake — and where the evidence actually lands. | Exercise & Muscle Preservation Strength, flexibility, and cardiopulmonary capacity as the highest-leverage longevity tool. | Sleep & Circadian Biology The recovery system most healthspan plans quietly ignore. |
| Brain Health Preventing — and in some cases reversing — cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s risk. | Microbiome Science What “gut health” means once you strip out the marketing. | Biomarkers of Aging What’s worth measuring, and what a number actually tells you. |
| Epigenetics How gene expression — not just genes — shapes the aging trajectory. | AI in Longevity Where machine learning is genuinely changing risk prediction and care | Regenerative Medicine An honest look at where the field stands today. |
| Peptides & Hormones Balanced discussion of evidence, use cases, and regulation — no hype. | Psychology of Aging Well Purpose, belonging, and resilience as measurable longevity factors. | Financial Planning for Longevity Because a longer healthspan needs a plan to match. |

— FOUNDER & ORGANIZER
Dr. Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS, FACN
Organizer of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd International Symposia on Adjuvant Nutrition in Cancer Treatment
A clinical nutritionist, researcher, and author with over four decades in the field, Dr. Quillin has spent his career studying one question: how the way we eat and live shapes not just how long we live, but how well. He is the author of The Pleasure Advantage, which makes the case that longevity isn’t a discipline of deprivation — it’s a discoverable, enjoyable lifestyle grounded in science.
The Living Longer Summit is the live extension of that work: three days of learning, connection, and — fittingly — genuine enjoyment.

Frequently asked questions
A conference is lectures. A convention is exhibits. A symposium is academic. A forum is discussion. This is a summit: people coming together to solve one important problem — how to maximize healthspan.
Both. The program is built for physicians and scientists as well as anyone seeking a practical, evidence-based approach to aging well — no medical background required.
No. The organizing rule for this summit is no politics, no product hype, and no miracle cures — including on contested topics like peptides and hormones, where speakers are asked to give a balanced view of the evidence and the regulatory picture.
Registration opens soon. Join the early access list below and you’ll be notified the moment tickets go live, along with early-bird pricing.
