RAADfest 2025: A Decade of Defying Aging​

From July 10–13, RAADfest returns to Las Vegas with a milestone: 10 years of flipping the narrative on aging ... not with vague promises, but with data, diagnostics, and action that actually holds up.

The focus this year? It's not about wishing for more years. It's about figuring out how to make the ones ahead work better.

This isn’t your typical health conference. RAADfest is a celebration of life, offering an unmatched mix of scientific credibility, immersive experiences, and community momentum.

I spoke with James Strole from the Coalition for Radical Life Extension and Aubrey de Grey from the LEV Foundation ... who are co-hosting for the first time ... about what to expect from this 10th edition.

And yes, expect a shift.

From Lab to Life: What’s New This Year

Across four tightly packed days, RAADfest gives you the full arc … from diagnostics and daily practices to age-reversal protocols that just might shift the timeline on what we consider normal.

The structure? Simple and focused:

  • Day 1: What’s possible … and what’s already working
  • Day 2: Diagnostics & Lifestyle. It’s all about data and how you can use them
  • Day 3: Longevity Amplifiers that boost resilience and extend healthspan
  • Day 4: Age Reversal. Think gene therapies, organ regeneration, and the future

Aubrey de Grey, President of the LEV Foundation, said …

“We’ve expanded the conference to show the full longevity landscape ... because breakthroughs don’t happen in isolation. They come from combining knowledge, passion, and community.”

Which is exactly what RAADclinic is built for. This isn’t just sit-and-listen. You get to test, experience, and interact with therapies, protocols, and measurement tools … on-site. Real data. Real applications. Immediate relevance.

Why Business Leaders Should Pay Attention

For entrepreneurs, longevity is more than a health trend. It’s a strategic advantage.

“What good is all the money if you’re not healthy?” asked RAADfest co-host Jim Strole. “Living longer with vitality gives you time to create more, lead better, and enjoy the life you’ve built.”

De Grey added, “People don’t like to be sick. That means they’ll pay not to be sick. And that means longevity isn’t just a mission; it’s a market.”

He emphasized that early-stage longevity research might not be investable just yet, it still matters:

“Smart investors see the logic of donating now to accelerate breakthroughs that later become investable,” he said. “It’s how Peter Thiel approached it ... and it works.”

The Thought Leaders Powering the RAADfest Vision

Expect real insights and boundary-pushing science … not recycled slides … from people pushing the limits on what's possible:

  • Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, CEO of Optispan, on biological aging and healthspan optimization
  • Liz Parrish, CEO of BioViva, advocating for patient access to gene therapies
  • Noah Davidsohn, CSO of Rejuvenate Bio, on cell reprogramming for disease reversal
  • Dr. Adiv Johnson from Tally Health, explaining biological age measurement
  • Dr. Amy Gutman, on ketogenic diets and neuroplastic brain health
  • Bill Faloon from Life Extension Foundation with updates on what works right now
  • … and more innovators in fields like cryonics, mitophagy, neuroplasticity, and organ preservation.

Their work bridges the gap between what’s possible and what’s practical … delivering science that’s ready for action.

Building a Future Fueled by Miracles

Science moves fast … but not in straight lines … and sometimes advances seem to be truly miraculous.

De Grey shared …

“People underestimate how often miracles happen in science: CRISPR. Stem cells. iPSCs. These weren’t predicted, but they reshaped everything. These breakthroughs come once or twice a decade ... and we’re due for more.”

So, while the rest of the world debates what’s realistic, RAADfest moves forward ... with people who are done waiting.

Join RAADfest

RAADfest 2025 is more than a conference. It’s a convergence of science, strategy, and spirit ... where longevity isn’t a dream, but a direction. Whether you’re a founder, futurist, investor, or bio-curious entrepreneur, this is your invitation to explore what’s next.

And yes, Jeunessima Magazine is once again a media partner. Come meet Dr. Ines O'Donovan, PhD, the creator of Jeunessima, the world’s 1st longevity magazine for women, launched 11 years ago.
