Congratulations to Dr. Alister Martin on his appointment as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

At LNIF24, Dr. Martin shared his vision for bridging the gap in civic participation through Vot-ER, his initiative to register voters in emergency rooms across the country. He spoke about the link between voter participation and health outcomes.

Now, he is taking that commitment to health equity and civic engagement to one of the most influential public health roles in the country.

At the Lake Nona Impact Forum, we bring together leaders who build solutions and step into positions of responsibility. Dr. Martin reflects that approach, and we are proud to have been part of his journey.

As we look ahead to LNIF26, we will continue convening leaders whose work shapes health, policy, and public life. Explore the full speaker lineup here: https://lakenonaimpactforum.org/speakers/2026-speakers/

Cancer Care’s Next Frontier: Rethinking Metabolism

Siddhartha Mukherjee, physician, researcher, Pulitzer Prize–winning author, and 2025 Lake Nona Impact Forum speaker, argues that oncology must expand beyond genetics and immunology to directly address tumor metabolism.

In his latest STAT piece, Mukherjee makes the case for precision, tumor-informed metabolic strategies, replacing one-size-fits-all diet advice with approaches tailored to tumor biology, treatment type, and patient metabolism.

Nutrition is not lifestyle guidance but a measurable, time-bound co-therapy that can enhance drug efficacy and help prevent resistance.

A powerful reminder that the future of cancer care may depend not just on what we target, but on what tumors consume.

🧬 The Future of Healthcare Is About Living Healthier, Not Just Longer

At the 2025 Forbes Healthcare Summit, leaders explored a central question: How can we help patients live not just longer lives, but healthier ones? The discussion dove into innovation, personalized care, and breakthroughs reshaping the longevity landscape.

A standout in the conversation was Jamie Justice, Ph.D., Executive Vice President for Health at XPRIZE and a past Lake Nona Impact Forum moderator, whose work at the intersection of longevity, aging biology, and real-world impact is helping shift how the healthcare ecosystem thinks about healthspan and aging.

From breakthroughs in lifespan science to practical strategies that keep people healthier longer, the summit underscored a transformative shift in healthcare, focusing on healthspan through innovation, science-backed solutions, and human-centered care models.

Dr. Mehmood Khan, CEO of the Hevolution Foundation and past Lake Nona Impact Forum speaker, argues that the next frontier in longevity science is intervening sooner to stay healthy longer.

In a recent Longevity.Technology interview, Khan shared insights from Hevolution’s Global Healthspan Report and urged a shift from passive funding to mission-driven investment in strategic longevity science with a particular emphasis on engaging young populations now so they age with better metabolic health and resilience.

We’re proud to spotlight Goldie Hawn, Academy Award-winning actress, founder of the MindUP youth mental health program, and past speaker at the Lake Nona Impact Forum, as she continues to uplift and inspire.

Most recently, Goldie was honored with the Power of a Wish Award at the Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles Wish Gala, where she reflected on the importance of joy, compassion, and resilience in the lives of children facing critical illness. Her commitment to amplifying hope and well-being continues to resonate far beyond the stage. ❤️

December was a memorable month on the slopes for skiing legend Lindsey Vonn. The 41-year-old, already a two-time Olympic medalist and one of the greatest alpine racers ever, returned to the World Cup circuit with historic results, including multiple podiums and a standout downhill performance.

Her consistency through the holiday stretch reminded the world that determination and passion don’t retire.

Now, as we begin the new year, we can’t wait to see what Lindsey does next, especially with the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics on the horizon. After a remarkable December, the stage is set for even bigger moments ahead.

We are proud to have hosted such a trailblazer at the Lake Nona Impact Forum and wish her the best.

At LNIF25, we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Robert Montgomery and Towana Looney for the session From Pioneer to Patient: A Transplant Doctor’s Story, a conversation that highlighted the scientific and deeply human sides of innovation.

Recently, the field took another significant step forward as researchers successfully prevented rejection of a genetically modified pig kidney transplanted into a human recipient, marking the longest survival of its kind in a brain-dead patient.

Dr. Montgomery’s groundbreaking work in xenotransplantation and Towana’s commitment to advancing science remind us that what once felt unimaginable is now becoming reality.

At the Lake Nona Impact Forum, we convene voices like theirs because these uncommon conversations spark the extraordinary progress that reshapes the future of medicine and the lives it touches.

How long do you want to live? And more importantly, how can we make those years healthier, more vibrant, and more fulfilling?

Peter Diamandis, a past Lake Nona Impact Forum speaker on sessions like Longevity: Your Practical Playbook, dives into these questions in his latest book "Longevity Guidebook: How to Slow, Stop and Reverse Aging – and NOT Die From Something Stupid."

At LNIF, we bring together leaders across health, innovation, policy, and technology to explore exactly these kinds of challenges, turning insights into actionable strategies that improve lives. From practical longevity tips to breakthroughs in health tech, the Forum is where ideas meet impact.

Let’s continue the conversation about how we can extend not just life, but quality of life.

At LNIF25, we were honored to have Jamie Justice, Ph.D. lead one of the Forum’s most energizing and future-focused sessions on women’s health, From GLP-1s to G-Spots, pushing the conversation far beyond symptom management and into the frontier of longevity science.

Her leadership continues to resonate as new research sheds light on the critical role ovarian aging plays in whole-body health, influencing not just fertility, but cognitive, metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune function.

These emerging insights emphasize that women’s health is central to the future of healthspan innovation.
