In the ever-evolving field of longevity science, one of the greatest challenges we face is not the lack of knowledge—but the lack of structure. With a flood of research, trends, and breakthroughs emerging daily, individuals and professionals alike are often left asking: Where do we start? What truly matters most for a longer, healthier life?

The Blue Longevity Pyramid: A Roadmap to Lifespan and Healthspan Optimization

In this transformative session, Ilian Gregorov introduces The Blue Longevity Pyramid—a strategic framework designed to cut through the noise and offer a clear, actionable roadmap for optimizing both lifespan and healthspan. Rooted in evidence-based science and inspired by the timeless wisdom of Blue Zones, the pyramid provides a tiered approach that places foundational lifestyle pillars at its base and builds upward toward the frontiers of personalized and precision medicine.

Attendees will journey through each level of the pyramid:

  • Starting with the Foundation—where sleep, stress management, physical movement, social connection, and purpose form the bedrock of a long and meaningful life.
  • Moving into Nutrition & Metabolic Health—exploring dietary principles like the Mediterranean approach, intermittent fasting, and strategies for glycemic control.
  • Advancing to Exercise & Physical Optimization, where strength, cardiovascular fitness, and mobility are positioned as non-negotiables for healthy aging.
  • Diving into Biological Optimization & Personalized Interventions, covering emerging strategies like hormonal balancing, targeted supplementation, and bespoke protocols.
  • And finally, looking ahead to the Future of Longevity Medicine—including AI-driven diagnostics, epigenetic reprogramming, gene therapy, and longevity-focused pharmaceuticals.

This lecture will not only provide a holistic framework but also inspire attendees to think both broadly and deeply about how to integrate the science of longevity into real-life practice—for themselves, their patients, or their organizations.
