With all of the health advice online and on social media, how do we narrow in on what really matters? We've asked three experts across dermatology, fitness and cardiology to help us cut through the noise and share essential daily habits to help promote long-term wellness.

As science powers forward, so do we. Age really is just a number. We have the ability to ignite our health profile, priming ourselves for a life well-lived at every age and stage.  

Join IMAGE Media on the evening of Thursday, May 28, at The Conrad Hotel, as we discover longevity isn’t just for the biohackers; it’s a framework of medical and lifestyle insights we all have access to engage with.

On the night, and through presentation and panel discussion, we’ll hear from Professor Caitriona Ryan, co-founder of the Institute of Dermatologists and the soon-to-launch ID Formulas, who’ll share key learnings from her six years of focused medical research in creating a supplement for the most desirable health profiles for 21st-century living.

We all know the benefits of exercise, but performance coach John Belton will share how making small changes in our everyday routines can lead to immense health benefits. Then from a medical expert’s point of view, cardiologist Dr Paddy Barrett will weigh in on how we can build healthy habits to achieve peak medical condition.

The conversations, moderated by IMAGE’s contributing editor Melanie Morris, will be animated, insightful and enlightening; drawing from authoritative medical sources, lived experience and the world’s biggest thinkers.

This is the perfect night to make meaningful change, with access to some of Ireland’s smartest professionals. Each will offer advice on the magic around the human condition, and how we can optimise our physical and mental health right now, and long into our senior years.

Where: The Conrad Hotel, Dublin
