Around 100 Vitalist Bay attendees sat for a mass blood draw in Berkeley, using stick-on Tasso devices to collect samples for hormone, metabolism, organ-health and biological-age testing.
The session opened the first day of the longevity conference-festival, where founders, investors, researchers and biohackers gathered to discuss ways to delay aging and extend life.
Talks and activities ranged from cryopreservation and menopause delay to longevity therapeutics, alongside workshops, Krav Maga and sound baths at Lighthaven.
Organizers framed the event as part of a broader shift in longevity from a niche movement toward a more commercial industry aimed at making anti-aging efforts mainstream.
