UK – Held at London’s 180 Studios from 3–5 October, leading wellness platform Healf brought together the leading voices in health and science to explore the future of wellbeing for its immersive HX25 event, powered by V14. During keynotes, panels and immersive sessions, speakers challenged conventional health models and championed a personalised, preventative approach.
Bio-optimisation took centre stage, with human biologist Gary Brecka declaring: ‘If you do what I ask, I will add seven years to your health span.’ He emphasised the role of genetic methylation testing to address conditions including ADHD, OCD and anxiety (a process whereby a small methyl group, comprising one carbon and three hydrogen atoms, is added to other molecules in the body, such as DNA or proteins, to change how they function). He also urged a shift from one-size-fits-all supplements to treatments tailored to individual deficiencies.
In the panel Where Spirit Meets Science, Dr Tara Swart, Jenna Zoe and Maya Raichoora explored the intersection of neuroscience, human design and ancient wisdom, reflecting on the idea that while the mind is limited by choice, the body serves as the true guide as it is a vessel that is attuned to intuition, presence and a personal cosmic curriculum.
Experiential highlights included red light meditation, movement masterclasses and breathwork sessions. A shared theme emerged: sustainable health must unite ancient wisdom with emerging science, from epigenetics to neuroaesthetics and AI-driven longevity.
Healf positioned itself not just as a wellness event, but as a blueprint for the future of human flourishing and a catalyst for democratising longevity through accessible, personalised and science-backed health interventions.
