Your best years aren't behind you. They're ahead of you.
But unlocking them means understanding what’s really happening in the longevity space.
Because the longevity industry has a problem – and it's creating a lot of confusion for people.
Every day brings another "breakthrough" supplement backed by cherry-picked studies. Another biohacker protocol promising to "reverse aging." Another expert with a commercial agenda, claiming they've cracked the code.
Meanwhile, you're drowning in information but starving for wisdom.
The most powerful longevity interventions – the ones research shows can add 7+ years to your life – are sitting right in front of you, completely free.
But there's no profit in telling you the “real” secrets to longevity, such as the fact that a strong sense of purpose will add more years to your life than most expensive interventions combined.
Here's what the industry won't tell you: They can monetize your fear about aging, but they can't monetize your wisdom about living.
You're caught between two impossible extremes:
Option 1: Accept "this is just aging" from a healthcare system that manages disease rather than preventing it. Let your concerns get dismissed while powerful tools for vitality sit unused.
Option 2: Go all-in on biohacking, turning your life into endless measurements and optimizations – often at the cost of the very joy and freedom you’re hoping to protect.
Neither path leads to what you really want: a life that’s scientifically optimized for long-term health AND brings you all the joy and fulfillment that make life worth living.
What if we approached longevity differently?
What if, instead of choosing between ignoring your biology OR obsessing over every biomarker, you could understand the science well enough to choose what works for you?
What if the second half of your life could be an adventure where you’re making strategic health choices while also living with intention, purpose, and joy – now and in the decades to come?
That's what this masterclass is really about.
It offers you a complete 360-degree view of longevity so you can better understand how to evaluate the science, tools, and practices that matter most for your own longevity journey.
We're not abandoning the science. You'll absolutely learn how to understand your unique biology and track the biomarkers that matter – and what to consider while building a personalized longevity plan based on YOUR specific needs.
But we're also not stopping there. Because true longevity isn't just about adding years to your life - it's about adding life to your years. It’s about your lifespan, your healthspan, and the quality, purpose, and joy that fill those years.
This is both/and, not either/or. You shouldn't have to choose between being scientifically informed and flourishing. You can – and should – have both.
Meet your guides - two experts who've walked completely different paths to the same wisdom
Barbara Waxman
Barbara Waxman has spent her career studying what actually makes people thrive at all stages of life. As one of the first certified coaches and master’s level gerontologists in the US, she's seen behind the curtain of how we've been thinking about aging – and she knows we've been getting it wrong.
When Barbara was dismissed by a doctor who claimed her exhaustion was "normal for her age," she didn't just advocate for better medical care – she revolutionized how we think about aging itself.
Barbara's work at Stanford and as creator of the "Middlescence Mastery" framework proves that your best years don't have to be behind you. Her "Study of One" approach recognizes that your aging journey is as unique as your fingerprint – and her Seven Lifestyle Levers™ assessment helps you quickly identify which areas of your life need attention if you want to create not just a longer life, but a life worth living.
She’s shown that purpose, movement, and community are as essential to longevity as diet or exercise. Her work reframes aging as an opportunity to extend not just lifespan but healthspan – the years you live with energy, clarity, and joy.
Derek Gehl
Derek Gehl comes at this from the complete opposite direction. For 25 years, he lived the biohacker life – tracking, measuring, optimizing everything. Which, as a lifetime entrepreneur, led him to running and growing a natural health supplements company focused specifically on anti-aging supplements.
But Derek became disillusioned with an industry that profits from making simple things complicated. Driven by health issues in his twenties and failed by a Western medical system that offered prescription after prescription to treat symptoms, Derek was forced to become his own health advocate before "biohacking" was even a word.
Over the last few years, using the latest AI and diagnostic tools, Derek was able to finally solve health problems that had eluded his primary GP and even the expensive concierge medical professionals he had spent a small fortune on. This experience reinforced his belief that becoming your own "Study of One" isn't just empowering – it's often essential.
Now, as CEO of MEA, Derek uses his insider knowledge to help people cut through the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle – not what moves products off shelves.
Together, Barbara and Derek give you something rare: evidence-based wisdom without a commercial agenda.
What you'll walk away with: a complete longevity framework based on your specific needs
Most importantly: A framework for aging with intention rather than anxiety.

Why this opportunity won't wait
The stakes have never been higher. The decisions you make in the next few years will determine whether you spend your 60s, 70s, and 80s:
Every month that passes is another month of either:
The longevity industry is exploding - but most of it is noise designed to separate you from your money. The longer you wait, the more you'll be tempted by the next shiny object or miracle protocol.
Your biology won't wait either. The choices you make today determine whether you spend your later decades thriving or merely surviving.
But here's what gives us hope: The tools to optimize your healthspan have never been more accessible. Science shows that people actually become much happier as they enter midlife.
The only missing piece? Knowing how to put them together in a way that works for your real life.
Here's everything included in your masterclass experience:
- 1Three comprehensive live sessions with Barbara and Derek - interactive workshops, not passive lectures
