Jane Fonda Headlines the Livelong Women's Health Summit
The Livelong Women's Health Summit is set to take place on April 17-18, 2026, at The Masonic in San Francisco. This conference, headlined by famed Academy Award-winning actress and activist Jane Fonda, aims to create a platform for over 70 experts in women's health, addressing pressing topics relevant to women. Expected to attract more than 2,000 attendees, the summit marks an effort to empower women through credible and evidence-based health information in a landscape rife with conflicting advice.
"Women are tired of being marketed to when it comes to their health," said Katie Gaudu, the COO of Livelong Media. This summit represents a unique opportunity for women to gain clarity about their health, enabling them to make informed decisions that can positively affect their futures.
Notable Speakers and Topics
Featured speakers alongside Fonda include renowned experts such as Dr. Mark Hyman, a leader in functional medicine; Dr. Vonda Wright, specializing in women's musculoskeletal health; and Dr. Mary Claire Haver, known for her insights on menopause. Other notable speakers include Dr. Leslie Cho, a cardiologist focusing on women's heart health, and Dr. Hyman's emphasis on nutrition and wellness, indicating a holistic approach to women's healthcare.
Over the course of two days, discussions will cover critical topics including:
- - Hormones and menopause
- - Cardiovascular health
- - Metabolism and weight
- - Strength and musculoskeletal health
- - Brain health and cognitive changes
- - Sleep and recovery
- - Longevity science
Each session is designed to be practical and grounded in current scientific research rather than fleeting trends, directing conversations towards pressing health concerns and solutions that women face at various life stages.
Empowering Women Through Information
Gaudu emphasized the need for evidence-based health knowledge, highlighting that women frequently remain underrepresented in medical research, particularly as they age. This summit aims to reverse that trend by providing straightforward insights into aspects of health like nutrition, fitness, mental wellness, and healthcare decision-making, ensuring that later years can be lived to the fullest.
Attendees will have the opportunity to partake in guided discussions led by journalists and moderators who will challenge existing notions and promote understanding among the audience. This interactive environment is crafted to encompass the journey many women navigate, especially through perimenopause, menopause, and the various stressors linked to career and caregiving demands.
Designed for Shared Learning
The unique format of this health summit encourages women from their 30s to 80s to engage with one another, often attending in pairs or groups. This communal learning experience reflects the growing awareness that discussions surrounding health decisions can significantly benefit from shared knowledge and perspectives.
