NORMAL IS NOT OPTIMAL: Longevity Conversation Hiding in Plain Sight
NORMAL IS NOT OPTIMAL
A Longevity Conversation Hiding in Plain Sight
Oral Health. Airway. Sleep. Heart. Brain. Evidence. Action.
Wednesday, November 12, 2026 | 4:00–6:00 PM
Colorado Health & Tech Centers | Greenwood Village
OUR FINAL COLORADO MEETUP OF 2026. YOU'RE INVITED.
We talk a lot about longevity.
The scans. Biomarkers. Metabolic health. VO₂ max. Grip strength. Hormones. Nutrition. Wearables.
But what about our mouth, our airway—and what happens while we sleep?
What can oral health tell us about whole-body health? How does disrupted sleep intersect with cardiovascular and cognitive health? Where is the evidence strong? What's actionable today? And who's actually working on these problems in Colorado?
For our final meetup of the year, Longevity Global Colorado + AgeTech Connect Colorado are bringing together clinicians, entrepreneurs and innovators working across these intersections.
Not to hype the next longevity trend.
To connect the dots.
Because the human body doesn't operate in silos.
Our innovation shouldn't either.
MEET THE PANEL
Dr. Atousa Bashardoost Safavi
Founder & CEO, Colorado Dental Wellness Center
Biological and wellness dentistry connecting oral health, airway, sleep and whole-body health.
Dr. Abid Husain, MD, FACC, ABAARM, FSSRP
Boulder Longevity Institute | Scientific Advisor, Hone Health + nuBioAge
Integrative medicine and cardiology connecting cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal and longevity medicine.
Paul Mawson
Co-founder & CEO, Kunasan
Developing non-invasive sleep neuromodulation focused on restorative slow-wave sleep, recovery biology, cognitive health and neurological resilience.
David Van Bussum
CEO & Co-founder, Boulder Longevity Institute + Longevity Launch Labs
Helping clinicians build longevity practices and move evidence-based health innovation from clinical insight toward adoption and scale.
Together, we'll ask:
What are we seeing? → What does the evidence say? → What's actionable? → What still needs to be built?
WHY THIS PLACE?
Because Colorado Health & Tech Centers is being built to connect many of the same dots.
A clinic here. A lab there. A startup somewhere else. Researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs and investors working on pieces of the same problem—often in different places.
CHTC's vision brings those worlds closer:
Care → unmet need → research → build → test → capital → commercialization → adoption.
You'll get an intimate first look at the newly completed atrium and first floor—and what this 163,000-square-foot health and innovation ecosystem is being built to become.
This isn't just where we're holding the conversation. It's part of the conversation.
WHO SHOULD BE IN THE ROOM?
The people building—and preparing for—what comes next in health and longevity.
Clinicians. Researchers. Practice owners. Founders. Investors. Health and technology companies. Policy Leaders. Operators. Innovators. Ecosystem builders.
If you're asking how your practice or business becomes longevity-ready, developing a new health innovation, looking for clinical or research partners, expanding into Colorado—or considering a new home for your practice or company serving Greenwood Village and greater Denver—
this room is for you.
Come for the conversation. Meet the people. See the space.
And imagine what we can build next.
THE EVENING
4:00 PM — Networking + Welcome Reception
4:30 PM — Normal Is Not Optimal
5:30 PM — Audience Q&A
5:45 PM — Closing Connections
Beverages + Appetizers.
TWO ECOSYSTEMS. ONE COMMUNITY.
Longevity Global Colorado goes upstream: science, research, medicine, investment and innovation supporting longer, healthier lives.
AgeTech Connect Colorado goes downstream: translating innovation into adoption, access and better human experiences as we age.
Together, we connect the dots:
Science → solution → human impact.
We gather throughout the year because ecosystems aren't built through one event or one introduction.
They're built by getting the right people in the room. Again and again.
This is our final Colorado meetup of 2026.
Come be part of the conversation—and what's being built next.
