Free 2-day online event brings together leading experts to unite functional and longevity medicine with cutting-edge science and clinical tools
NEWTOWN, CT / ACCESS Newswire / September 1, 2026 / The Functional Medicine IS Longevity Medicine™ Masterclass, hosted by Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, returns September 18-19, 2026, bringing together leading experts in functional and longevity medicine for two days of live, interactive learning.
Following the success of last year’s Masterclass, which drew more than 8,000 registrants, 3,000 live attendees, and participants from 107 countries, the free virtual event will continue to elevate the role of functional medicine in longevity science.
Healthcare professionals, researchers, students, and health enthusiasts will gain actionable strategies to extend healthspan, prevent chronic disease, and optimize resilience at every stage of life.
Speakers include Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Peter Diamandis, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Aviva Romm, alongside Dr. Fitzgerald and other experts shaping the future of health. Together, they will translate emerging research and new tools in longevity science, including in epigenetics/multi-omics, metabolic and cognitive health, precision medicine, the microbiome, nutrition, women’s health, peptides, and AI use in clinical practice, and more, into practical clinical insights for healthy aging.
“There is a dramatic rise in interest in longevity science and in democratizing access to better healthspan,” says Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, medical director at the New Frontiers Clinic and host and founder of the New Frontiers in Functional Medicine podcast. “But in a world chasing the latest longevity hacks, we’re reframing the conversation. Functional medicine is unequivocally the best paradigm for integrating effective innovations and addressing the age-driven mechanisms of chronic disease, as it starts with prevention, resilience, and root causes. This Masterclass makes it clear: functional medicine is longevity medicine.”
The Masterclass is designed for functional medicine clinicians, nutritionists and dietitians, naturopathic physicians, integrative practitioners, health coaches, longevity specialists, researchers, students, and health enthusiasts. Participants will also engage in live Q&As, panel discussions, and community chats.
