Abstract coming soon.
During this presentation Dr. Huentelman will discuss two studies from his lab and what they have taught us about the factors associated with differential brain aging. One study is conducted on the internet and has recruited over 850,000 people from around the world. The second study uses a specialized mobile laboratory that includes a new type of MRI machine. Together these studies are helping us learn new things about the aging brain. Dr. Huentelman will highlight some of the new things we are learning and how they can help us better improve brain aging, more personalize the approach to aging, and also help us avoid age-related cognitive diseases.
How fulfilled are you with your life? Does your life feel meaningful and intentional? In this interactive workshop, participants will take a close look at their daily choices and the impact they have on happiness, fulfillment, and an overall sense of purpose. Through thought-provoking exercises and discussions, you’ll leave with a new perspective on how you spend your time and what it means to you, along with ideas for creating more balance and meaning.
Cancer care today extends far beyond diagnosis and treatment. This panel will explore the full continuum of care—emphasizing prevention to reduce risk, advances in treatment, and survivorship to promote healthy longevity. Our experts will share insights on breast, lung, and prostate cancers, highlighting innovative therapies, lifestyle factors, and supportive resources that help patients live longer, healthier lives during and after cancer.
Ever forget where you put your keys? Where you parked your car? Or the name of someone you recently met?
As we age, it’s normal to have a certain degree of memory changes. But what’s the difference between normal aging and cognitive decline? Dr. Gallagher will highlight the distinctions between common shifts in cognition as we age, and the onset of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia. This discussion aims to empower individuals with knowledge to proactively engage in brain health strategies and seek appropriate medical intervention for early signs of cognitive decline that may indicate a progression towards more severe neurocognitive conditions.

Why should I attend the LiveWell Conference?
The LiveWell Conference will feature workshops focused on holistic well-being to increase both your health span and your life span. It will include educational sessions offering practical advice on nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and longevity-enhancing activities and habits.
The conference is intended for adults of any age that are interested in not just living longer but living healthier for as long as possible.
The term lifespan refers to the length of time for which a person lives; calculated from the time of birth to the time of death.
In contrast, health span focuses on the length of time a person is healthy, rather than just alive. Key factors may include: a life that is pain free, allowing the person to physically do things they enjoy; having the cognitive capacity to be present; and an
emotional sense of purpose or connection to others.

Sun Health, founded in 1965 in the West Valley of Phoenix, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals through healthcare, senior living options, and community outreach.
