We don't just want more years—we want those years to matter. The Metabolic Longevity Summit addresses the fundamental question at the heart of longevity medicine: how do we preserve not just lifespan, but the quality, vitality, and cognitive clarity that make those extra years worth living?
This inaugural virtual summit brings together leading expertise from across the nutritional and metabolic health landscape to explore the cellular and biochemical foundations of healthy ageing. From mitochondrial membrane integrity and antioxidant defence systems, to the challenges of pharmaceutical weight loss and the neuroprotective power of blood sugar regulation, each session delivers practical, evidence-based strategies that practitioners can implement immediately.
Why Amrita Summits?
At Amrita Nutrition, we work with over 200 therapeutic brands. Each brings their own unique expertise and innovation to the table, yet these voices rarely share the same platform. Amrita Summits was created to change that: showcasing multiple providers under one roof to deliver exceptional, cohesive educational content that serves the practitioner community we're proud to support.
Curated and hosted by Tanya Borowski, our Head of Education and an experienced nutritional therapist specialising in functional medicine, this summit ensures each presentation offers both breadth of perspective and depth of expertise. Each supplier partner contributes a focused, niche element to the metabolic longevity conversation, creating a comprehensive learning experience that's greater than the sum of its parts.
What to Expect:
- Four cutting-edge presentations exploring the cellular mechanisms that determine healthspan and cognitive longevity
- Virtual delivery with full recordings available, allowing you to learn at your own pace
- Interactive panel Q&A at the end of the day, giving you direct access to all speakers for deeper exploration and practical clinical questions
- Free registration for all healthcare practitioners and their clients
This is more than education—it's a collaborative approach to advancing practitioner knowledge and, ultimately, client outcomes in the rapidly evolving field of longevity medicine.
Presentation 1 | The Foundation of Cellular Longevity: Phospholipid Integrity, Mitochondrial Function & Metabolic Vitality
Mitochondrial decline isn't an inevitable consequence of ageing, it's a modifiable process that begins at the membrane level. While much attention focuses on mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant protection, the structural integrity of mitochondrial membranes often determines whether these interventions succeed or fail. Phospholipids form the very architecture of our cellular powerhouses, and when membrane integrity falters, a cascade of metabolic dysfunction follows: impaired energy production, increased oxidative stress, and accelerated cellular senescence.
This session, presented by Kayla Butera, explored the fundamental yet often overlooked role of phospholipid membrane health as the cornerstone of mitochondrial function and metabolic longevity. Supported by BodyBio.
Presentation 2 | C15:0 – The Missing Essential Fatty Acid Revolutionising Metabolic Longevity
Recent studies reveal that C15:0 deficiency may be driving widespread cellular dysfunction, whilst adequate C15:0 levels support cell membrane integrity, enhance mitochondrial efficiency, and activate key longevity pathways.
This session explored why C15:0 is now recognised as one of the leading nutritional geroprotectors, and how practitioners can leverage this simple yet powerful intervention to optimise client outcomes. Supported by Fatty15.
Presentation 3 | Beyond the Magic Pill: Supporting Metabolic Health During & After GLP-1 & GIP Therapy
Hailed as life-changing and revolutionary, the so-called “magic pill” weight-loss medications have dominated our conversations over the past two years. Undeniably, they have transformed the lives of many individuals living with obesity and long-standing metabolic disease. However, these benefits do not come without cost. Side effects, including gastroparesis, cholestasis and gallstones, are well recognised, while the long-term metabolic consequences remain unclear. But what is increasingly evident is that a significant proportion of individuals regain much of the lost weight, in some cases up to 60%, once these medications are discontinued.
Nutritional Therapist Marta Anhelush, honed in on the three key mechanisms of action of the GLP-1 and GIP medications and focus on targeted nutritional and lifestyle strategies to use alongside, and beyond them, to support sustainable and long-lasting weight and metabolic improvements.

Presentation 4 | Metabolic Flexibility: Botanical Strategies for Healthy Glucose Balance and Cognitive Support
Emerging research suggests that maintaining steady glucose responses and supporting healthy insulin function may play an important role in overall metabolic well‑being and long-term cognitive health. Fluctuations in glucose levels can influence oxidative stress, cellular energy pathways, and normal inflammatory responses—factors that contribute to how the brain adapts, performs, and ages over time.
Dr. Brian Keenan, ND, DOM, LAc examined the relationship between metabolic flexibility and cognitive resilience, highlighting how select botanicals may help support healthy glucose metabolism, mitochondrial function, and adaptive stress responses. Participants will explore evidence-informed strategies for integrating botanical ingredients into protocols that promote metabolic balance and overall brain health. Supported by Gaia Herbs.
