Exploring Longevity: The Global Wellness Institute's New Podcast Series Launches
Exploring Longevity with the Global Wellness Institute
On May 14, the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), a prominent nonprofit dedicated to the wellness industry, will debut its new podcast series titled "The Wellness Roundtable: Longevity." This podcast aims to spark engaging discussions surrounding the compelling topics of longevity and healthspan, transitioning from abstract theories to practical applications that seek to redefine our approach to aging.
The Podcast's Mission
The launch of this innovative podcast comes at a time when interest in longevity is soaring. Many people find themselves overwhelmed by either overly technical research or the exuberant predictions from Silicon Valley's futurists. The Wellness Roundtable steps in to bridge these gaps, allowing listeners to explore real-world implications of scientific advances in aging.
With the first episode featuring longevity entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, audiences can anticipate enlightening conversations with top-tier scientists, health practitioners, and industry leaders. The podcast will dissect the breakthroughs in healthspan research, the strategies to live not just longer, but better, and the companies at the forefront of this movement.
Host and Expertise
Leading the discussions is Alexia Brue, co-founder of the award-winning media company Well+Good and seasoned longevity entrepreneur. Brue's unique position allows her to draw insightful connections among diverse perspectives in the health and wellness sectors. She's set to engage thought leaders—from geroscientists to wellness promoters—to examine the latest developments in biomarkers, AI in disease prevention, nutrition, exercise, and regenerative medicine.
Differentiating the Podcast
The Wellness Roundtable is positioned to stand out in a bustling podcast landscape dominated by various health and longevity themes. With episodes designed for wellness professionals, the podcast delivers digestible content, ensuring that every episode remains under an hour and strikes a balance between informative and accessible.
Brue emphasizes, "While longevity has permeated cultural conversations, many discussions become bogged down in science or stray into unattainable fantasies. Our focus bridges the gap between scientific inquiry and practical application, crucial for everyday wellness practitioners."
Upcoming Topics and Episodes
In each of its ten episodes, the podcast will tackle a different aspect of longevity and healthspan. By inviting a fresh host to guide each topic, the series promises variety and depth. Recognized brands and experts from the wellness realm will weigh in on pressing questions, making the series appealing to both industry insiders and curious consumers.
Some anticipated topics include:
1. Dr. Peter Diamandis on the emerging technologies responsible for the "healthspan revolution."
2. Phil Newman’s insights into the longevity industry evolving from science to the marketplace.
3. Anna Bjurstam's perspectives on the convergence of wellness and longevity practices.
4. Dr. Andrea Maier discussing how adopting proactive longevity care can alter our health trajectories.
5. Additional contributions from experts like Dr. Adeel Khan on regenerative medicine and the critical role of women's health in longevity, featuring guests such as Dr. Piraye Beim and Abby Miller Levy.
Each episode is not just an exploration of topics but an invitation for listeners to envision how they can actively contribute to and shape the future of aging.

The full episodes are set to launch bi-weekly on major podcast platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart Radio. Viewers may also find the episodes on GWI's YouTube channel.
