Dr. Michael Lustgarten is looking “to science the sh** out of aging!”
Today, Dr. Lustgarten will walk through this approach, and discuss how individuals can combine scientific evidence, biomarker data, and disciplined self-experimentation to make more informed decisions in the pursuit of longer, healthier lives.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Michael Lustgarten, Ph.D.
Guest Speaker
Dr. Michael Lustgarten earned his Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2009. Since then, he has contributed to 38 peer-reviewed publications that have been cited more than 5,000 times.
After 15 years as an Assistant Professor and Scientist at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, Dr. Lustgarten left his primary academic position in 2025 to focus full-time on his health and longevity business, Conquer Aging! or die trying.
Through this work, he applies the rigor of experimental science to personalized healthspan optimization. Up to eight times per year, he measures blood biomarkers and other health-related outcomes while simultaneously tracking diet, supplements, exercise, fitness metrics, sleep, and other lifestyle factors. He then uses statistical analysis to identify the combinations of inputs that may help optimize biomarkers across as many major organ systems as possible.
This process allowed him to win the Longevity World Cup in 2026, a competition that ranks participants by reductions in estimated biological age. He’s documented this journey on his YouTube channel (also named Conquer Aging! or die trying) since 2020, while helping others apply the same evidence-based approach to their own health.
Our event is in ZOOM Only, no in person meeting this month, opening at 6:00 PM for our social hour, with the main event starting at 7:00 PM Eastern Time.
