From Jellyfish to Humans: The Science of Turning Back Time

What if aging isn't the inevitable decline we've been told it is? Dr. Ian White, regenerative medicine pioneer and founder of Neobiosis, challenges conventional thinking about biological aging by exploring nature's most radical examples—from immortal jellyfish that reverse their age to lobsters that never age at all. Drawing on two decades of stem cell research at Harvard, Cornell, and beyond, he presents compelling evidence that aging can be accelerated, slowed, paused, and even reversed. This provocative session examines the mechanisms behind age reversal, from Yamanaka factors to perinatal tissues, and explores whether regenerative medicine holds the key to treating aging itself as a disease.

From Caveman to Keyboard: Biohacking Your Ancestral Biology

Carlos Bertonatti, Clinic Director of Miami's Medical Health Institute, delivers a high-energy session exposing the dangerous gap between our ancestral biology and modern living. Opening with an unconventional biohack demonstration, Bertonatti reveals the "three silent killers" conventional medicine ignores—particularly endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that are quietly destroying our hormonal systems. Drawing from his extensive self-experimentation as an extreme athlete and his clinic's work in hormone optimization and functional medicine, he confronts shocking statistics: 93% of Americans suffer metabolic dysfunction, while EDCs silently sabotage our cellular machinery. This isn't theoretical wellness talk—it's a practical wake-up call grounded in the fundamentals that 95% of people get wrong.
