At LNIF25, we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Robert Montgomery and Towana Looney for the session From Pioneer to Patient: A Transplant Doctor’s Story, a conversation that highlighted the scientific and deeply human sides of innovation.

Recently, the field took another significant step forward as researchers successfully prevented rejection of a genetically modified pig kidney transplanted into a human recipient, marking the longest survival of its kind in a brain-dead patient.

Dr. Montgomery’s groundbreaking work in xenotransplantation and Towana’s commitment to advancing science remind us that what once felt unimaginable is now becoming reality.

At the Lake Nona Impact Forum, we convene voices like theirs because these uncommon conversations spark the extraordinary progress that reshapes the future of medicine and the lives it touches.

How long do you want to live? And more importantly, how can we make those years healthier, more vibrant, and more fulfilling?

Peter Diamandis, a past Lake Nona Impact Forum speaker on sessions like Longevity: Your Practical Playbook, dives into these questions in his latest book "Longevity Guidebook: How to Slow, Stop and Reverse Aging – and NOT Die From Something Stupid."

At LNIF, we bring together leaders across health, innovation, policy, and technology to explore exactly these kinds of challenges, turning insights into actionable strategies that improve lives. From practical longevity tips to breakthroughs in health tech, the Forum is where ideas meet impact.

Let’s continue the conversation about how we can extend not just life, but quality of life.

At LNIF25, we were honored to have Jamie Justice, Ph.D. lead one of the Forum’s most energizing and future-focused sessions on women’s health, From GLP-1s to G-Spots, pushing the conversation far beyond symptom management and into the frontier of longevity science.

Her leadership continues to resonate as new research sheds light on the critical role ovarian aging plays in whole-body health, influencing not just fertility, but cognitive, metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune function.

These emerging insights emphasize that women’s health is central to the future of healthspan innovation.

Last year at the Lake Nona Impact Forum, Mark Cuban brought his signature candor and forward-looking perspective to our stage. Now, he’s sparking another important conversation about how Gen Z can thrive in an AI-driven job market.

In a recent interview, Cuban emphasized that success today is about showing up with real, practical skills, especially when it comes to AI. His advice to young professionals is to become fluent in the tools shaping the future and bring that value where it’s needed most.

We’re proud to see our speakers continue driving conversations that challenge assumptions and inspire action.

How do we redefine what’s possible? Even when the world says you should have stopped?

Lindsey Vonn, a past Lake Nona Impact Forum speaker, is doing just that. At 41, she placed 2nd in a World Cup downhill a day after becoming oldest winner at age 41.

This is resilience, what it means to push boundaries, physically and mentally, when many have long since packed it in. Vonn’s journey is a powerful reminder that greatness is about how you rise, adapt, and persist.

At LNIF, we believe in conversations that challenge the norms, amplify possibilities, and unlock human potential. As we count down to the 2026 Forum, we take inspiration from stories like Lindsey’s because the future of leadership and impact isn’t just about what’s easy. It’s about pushing through the hard, the unexpected, and redefining what’s possible.

Over the past several years, the Lake Nona Impact Forum community has been exploring how we can meaningfully extend both human healthspan and lifespan, grounded in science, personalization, and innovation.

A new report shows that the ""business of living longer,"" spanning health tech, biotech, wellness, and even financial planning, is projected to reach $8 trillion by 2030. This rapid acceleration proves that longevity has evolved from a scientific frontier to a global priority.

At last year's Impact Forum, Dave Asprey, founder of Upgrade Labs, joined us to unpack the evolution of human performance and the emerging tools transforming preventative health. His session highlighted the shift from reactive care to proactive, precision-based strategies that empower people to live stronger, longer, healthier lives.

As longevity innovation continues to enter the mainstream, it's evident that the ideas championed by LNIF's speakers, researchers, and collaborators are helping define the future of the field.

We're excited to build on this momentum at the 2026 Lake Nona Impact Forum, convening leaders who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible for human wellbeing.

Rethinking Longevity: Adding More Life to Our Years

The conversation around longevity is shifting from simply living longer to actually living better. As life expectancy rises, the focus is turning toward “healthspan”: the number of years we remain active, capable, and thriving.

Across the Lake Nona ecosystem, longevity is a scientific goal and a community vision. From regenerative medicine and precision diagnostics to proactive, data-driven wellness, leaders in Florida’s “medical city” are shaping what it means to age well.

As technologies like cellular rejuvenation, AI-assisted health monitoring, and personalized care plans advance, we move closer to a future where longevity means freedom to live, contribute, and flourish across every decade of life.

For companies like AdventHealth, Fountain Life and Upgrade Labs, the question isn’t just how long we can live, but how we can make those years count.
