Part 1: The Economy of Immortality

What if you were told that a 5 percent investment of your net worth would guarantee—yes, guarantee—a net yield of 30 percent? Would you open up your portfolio for that? Now, imagine investing that same 5 percent in your biology and cognitive health to gain an identical 30 percent yield. This translates into more productivity, higher-level output, cognitive upgrades, more free time, and—ultimately—a more balanced quality of life. Dave Asprey, founder of the nutritional supplement marketer, Bulletproof 360, explains his views on the investment horizon and ROI for human biology in "The Economy of Immortality," exclusively at the MEA Summit.

Part 2: The Future of Well-being and Technology

The future of well-being is going to be personalized, predictable, participatory, and process oriented. Many adverse conditions will be preventable. Only 5 percent of disease-related genetic mutations are fully penetrant, guaranteeing a disease will occur. Ninety-five percent of chronic illness is influenced by environmental factors including our mental environment and relationships. It's known that low-grade depression and anxiety, as well as chronic inflammation, are present in most people decades before a chronic illness is diagnosed. As we move into the next decade, artificial intelligence, VR, deep machine learning, epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and the understanding of the microbiome will lead to modalities of prevention and treatment through influencing biological activity, self-regulation, and homeostasis through an interface linking science, emotional and social wellbeing, and spiritual intelligence.
