The Metabolic Operating System - A masterclass from Professor Benjamin Bikman
16-Sep-2026
Welcome to the The Longevity Lab: Exploring the Future of Thriving series.
What if the single greatest predictor of your long-term health isn't your weight but your metabolic health?
Join Dr. Benjamin Bikman, a global thought leader in metabolic health, on our inaugural event in this new year-round educational series for an evidence-based conversation on why metabolic health has become one of the most important drivers of longevity, sustained energy, cognitive performance, and disease prevention.
Dr. Bikman's professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the role of elevated insulin and nutrient metabolism in regulating obesity, diabetes, and dementia. While many health conversations focus on weight, this session reveals how the body's metabolic operating system plays a far greater role in how we age, perform, and thrive.
YPOers will explore the latest science on insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, learning why these often-overlooked factors sit at the center of many chronic diseases.
The discussion will translate complex research into practical, actionable strategies, helping members understand how nutrition, lifestyle, and key biomarkers work together to improve metabolic resilience and long-term health.
By attending this event, you will:
See how metabolic health strongly predicts longevity, vitality, and well-being.
Understand biomarkers for informed conversations with your healthcare provider.
Discover evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle approaches for metabolic resilience.
Discern how metabolic dysfunction contributes to aging and today's chronic diseases.
Optimize the system that powers every aspect of your health.
