Dr Ash Kapoor is a physician and longevity specialist with 30+ years of clinical experience, including two decades in the NHS. Founder of Levitas Clinics, Levitas One, Levitas Dental, Levitas Retreats and Levitas Academy, he is the creator of the NoMAD Programme and the 10R Methodology.

The most composed people in a room are often carrying the most, and no one ever taught them how to set it down. Melinda Palomino spent over three decades in finance and technology leadership, including CIO-level roles at Fortune 500 companies. Shaped by a culture that rewarded endurance, she built her career by continuing through pressure without recognising its cost. A profound personal experience changed the direction of her life and inspired the creation of Lasenda.

She now works with private clients, family offices and organisations, helping people in high-consequence roles reach the root of what they carry, emotionally and physically. Her work brings together the language of the boardroom and the wisdom of the body. What sets her work apart is the integration: she stays with people after an immersive experience, so the shift settles into daily life rather than fading once they leave.

Dr. Scott M. Martin is an interventional pain physician and regenerative medicine researcher with 26 years of clinical, research, and industry experience, focused on building the evidence base for non-narcotic and allogeneic therapies.

His work on Preleve, a non-narcotic analgesic alternative, drew litigation from pharmaceutical interests in 2017 — a fight that sharpened rather than deterred his commitment to safer options for chronic pain. In 2020 he co-founded Telehealth Clinical Evals, building the telemedicine infrastructure that opened the power wheelchair market to mobility-impaired patients; the company sold in 2025 for $3 million.

Since 2022 he has co-authored 15 peer-reviewed publications on regenerative therapies. As Chief Medical Officer of the Institute of Regenerative Education, he has secured IRB oversight for two studies, including the Real-World HCT/Ps Observational Registry. He advises five biotech firms, serves as an expert consultant in regenerative care litigation and state stem cell law, and is the author of Microdosing Motivation.

Brent Bruning is an international hand analyst, speaker, and founder of The Power in Your Hands. Over the past decade he has analysed more than 26,000 pairs of hands, developing a framework that uses the anatomy of the hand as a personalised visual map to facilitate conversations about stress adaptation, behavioural patterns, and personal development.

Brent has spent over 30 years integrating research from neuroscience, attachment theory, memory reconsolidation, evolutionary biology, and contemplative traditions into a practical coaching methodology known as The Shift. His work explores how early adaptive survival strategies — visible through the patterns in the hands — continue to influence health, relationships, leadership, and performance throughout adult life.

Brent's current research investigates whether stable anatomical features of the hand, including hand shape, palmar dermatoglyphics, and fingerprint patterns, can provide an accessible framework for discussing individual differences in behavioural tendencies and developmental strengths. Rather than serving as diagnostic tools, these observations are used to guide structured reflection and evidence-informed memory reconsolidation processes.

His work has been presented internationally at conferences in longevity, health optimisation, leadership, and personal development. Through workshops, clinical collaborations, and private consultations, Brent aims to bridge neuroscience with practical methods that help individuals recognise longstanding patterns of adaptation and develop greater psychological flexibility, resilience, and vitality.

At the Royal Society of Medicine, Brent will present "The Shift: Rewiring the Brain Through Memory Reconsolidation — Using the Hidden Map in Your Hands," exploring how personalised visual frameworks may support transformative conversations about stress, health, and human flourishing.

Dr Guy Hayward is Director of the British Pilgrimage Trust, which he co-founded in 2014 to promote "bring your own beliefs" pilgrimage in Britain. Since 2016 he has led guided pilgrimages, weaving in group singing of nature, folk and sacred songs, and co-authored Britain's Pilgrim Places. He holds a Cambridge PhD on how singing forms community.

Hayward also co-founded the Choral Evensong Trust with Rupert Sheldrake and is half of the comedy singing duo Bounder & Cad.

Liberty Mills brings a unique blend of science, compassion and straight-talking honesty to every client she works with. As a certified Integrative Health and Nutrition Coach, fertility expert and Amazon No.1 bestselling author of 360 Fertility, she has spent years helping hundreds of individuals and couples optimise their health before conception, throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Her work is rooted in one belief: fertility doesn't exist in isolation — it is a reflection of whole-body health. Rather than focusing on reproduction alone, Liberty takes an integrative approach, exploring the nutritional, hormonal, metabolic and lifestyle factors that influence fertility, pregnancy and long-term health. The result is personalised, evidence-based care that addresses the bigger picture, not just a single symptom. To her, unexplained infertility is simply unexplored.

Whether supporting couples preparing for pregnancy, women navigating hormonal changes, or individuals looking to improve their long-term health, Liberty makes complex science easy to understand and translates it into realistic, life-changing action. Her approach is evidence-based, deeply personalised and always focused on creating lasting health — not quick fixes.

Donal MacIntyre is an award-winning investigative journalist turned health-transformation advocate. After reversing his own pre-diabetic state under a medically supervised protocol, he has become a compelling public voice for metabolic medicine and longevity.

Bridging storytelling and science, Donal hosts Sacred Vitality 2026 as master of ceremonies, guiding the day and drawing out the insights that matter most.

Dr Federico Fedel's approach to medicine is rooted in his origins in the Dolomites, where he grew up surrounded by nature, fresh ingredients, and a culture of community, simplicity and quality — a foundation that shaped his belief that health is not merely the absence of disease, but the result of balance, environment and intentional living.

As he progressed through his medical training, Federico recognised the strengths and limitations of Western medicine: exceptional at treating acute, life-threatening problems, yet often insufficient for chronic, complex and lifestyle-driven conditions. This realisation led him to integrative frameworks, root-cause analysis and emerging longevity science, and to develop a holistic, systems-based model of care blending rigorous medical training with personalised optimisation strategies.

Today, Dr Fedel is known for looking beyond symptoms to build a complete picture of each patient's physiology, lifestyle and goals — combining advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, metabolic optimisation and evidence-based longevity interventions. His philosophy remains consistent: treat the root cause, not the surface; empower patients with understanding; and deliver care that is personalised, precise, and grounded in both science and humanity.

Dr Lizzie Almas trained in Ireland and completed her foundation medical training in England before diving into integrative and functional medicine. She is a Certified Practitioner of Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (USA). At Levitas Clinic, Lizzie serves as a Clinical Associate, focusing on root-cause diagnosis and holistic care.

Her specialisms include fertility optimisation (for those trying to conceive or awaiting IVF), hormonal balance (PMS, PCOS, endometriosis), and immune / gut health, particularly in cases of chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, and dysregulation. In her private practice, Lizzie works primarily with women's health, combining conventional medical training with functional testing, lifestyle medicine, and systems-based protocols.

She aims to address why symptoms occur rather than simply masking them, exploring interactions between genetics, environment, hormones, immunity, and gut health. When she's not caring for patients, Lizzie stays engaged with research and education, continually refining her approach and staying at the forefront of integrative medicine.

Dr Caitlin Scott is a medical doctor specializing in women's health and functional medicine. Drawing on her experience as both a clinician and a mother of three, she brings a compassionate, practical understanding of the pressures women face and the importance of proactive, personalized care. She holds a certificate in Functional Medicine and focuses on prevention and health optimization, integrating nutrition with evidence-informed functional approaches.

Caitlin has extensive experience in intravenous iron therapy and vitamin infusions for nutritional deficiencies, as well as body-identical hormone therapy to support patients across all life stages. She is a speaker on intravenous iron therapy, advocating for better recognition, diagnosis, and management of iron deficiency.

Passionate about health promotion, Caitlin has led courses helping new mothers navigate the physical, emotional, and social transition into motherhood, and she co-authored the book Holding Mama to widen access to this support. Her interests span the full spectrum of women's health, including menstrual cycle and menopause.

She has worked at Levitas Clinic for close to a decade and has grown and moved with it through its transition into one of the leading longevity clinics.
