We all have our own "fountain of youth" tricks — i.e., ways to ward off aging — such as exercising, dieting, taking medications, getting Botox injections … But when we heard that the brightest minds on the subject of longevity were coming together to share what they’ve learned about available medical advances that really have been proven to help people live longer and healthier lives, we wasted no time getting all the details.

The Aging & Healthy Lifespan Conference takes place at Harvard Medical School on September 23 — and wOwers who wish to attend are eligible to receive a special discounted ticket price of $100. According to one of the event speakers, who specializes in treating illnesses associated with aging, the conference will address the science behind some of the products that promise to turn back the clock.

"In the next 20 years, the population of Americans over the age of 65 is expected to double, and one thing is clear — our culture is consumed with the subject of aging," says Christoph Westphal M.D., Ph.D., CEO of Sirtris Pharmaceuticals and senior vice president of the Center of Excellence for External Drug Discovery. "But while we look to the latest diet, exercise and skincare ‘fads’ to beat the clock, there is actually important scientific research being conducted that is likely to prevent and effectively treat diseases of aging in our own time."
