Smart Life Forum

Smart Life Forum (SLF) is a non-profit 501(c)3 based in Palo Alto, with 135+ members who attend our monthly meeting on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7:30pm. Our primary mission is to provide credible health education to the public with an emphasis on optimal wellness, anti-aging medicine, and longevity. SLF helps to keep the public up-to-date on the latest findings and developments that impact our health. Our topics include anti-aging medicine, complementary/integrative medicine, nutritional science, and related issues in biochemistry and physiology, and the mind-body connection. We review topics including: nutrition (healthy diets, good and bad fats, good and bad carbohydrates, high-quality protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and more), bioidentical hormone replacement, exercise regimens, and herbs, and the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical drugs and surgeries. Our members range from people wanting to get more life out of their years to highly sophisticated anti-aging and preventive wellness oriented laypeople and physicians. Each month, we provide a short forum for our members to raise questions or new findings on health, then invite leading experts in alternative health to present to our members, An advisors is a top-ranked antiaging physician (see antiaging.com) and another is an authority on cognitive enhancement (smart drugs). Past speakers include Aubrey de Grey (Cambridge-based creator of the SENS aging model), Julian Whitaker (chelation poineer and author of "Reversing Heart Disease"), John Gray (Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus), Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief), and Bruce Ames (Berkeley mitochondrial aging expert). Smart Life Forum has shared knowledge that has transformed the health of many people, and in some cases even saved lives. Please come to a meeting if you're interested - you'll find a community of experts who can give you quality advice on just about any health topic.
