The New Longevity Salon

An invitation-only evening at Gary Brecka’s Miami home gathered the thinkers quietly shaping how longevity is lived, not just studied.

The conversation around longevity is evolving—and on January 28, it unfolded not on a stage, but around a dinner table.

The invitation-only Longevity and Clean Living Supper marked the latest installment in a private dinner series co-hosted by Kavita Channé and Gary Brecka, created to convene the voices actively shaping the future of human optimization. Held at Brecka’s private Miami residence, the evening gathered a tightly curated group of leaders spanning longevity science, functional medicine, and wellness media.

Brecka led much of the evening’s scientific dialogue alongside Dr. Daniel Pompa, whose work in cellular detoxification and inflammation recovery has helped define modern functional medicine. Together, they explored metabolic health, environmental toxicity, and the long-term implications of how people actually live—not just how they supplement or optimize on paper. The exchange moved fluidly between research and real-world application, grounding the discussion in both data and lived experience.

A cultural and media lens was added by Iman Hasan, host of the Biohack It podcast and founder of IHC Agency, whose perspective reflected the broader shift underway in the longevity space. As the conversation revealed, longevity has moved beyond clinics and protocols, increasingly shaped by storytelling, community, and the way ideas move through culture—well beyond the lab.

Channé, who co-hosted the evening, framed the supper as a conversation-led gathering rather than a programmed event. Sip Channé, her clean, no-sugar wine brand, was served throughout the night, aligning naturally with the evening’s emphasis on longevity without excess or prescription.

Rather than spectacle, the evening emphasized exchange—science meeting culture, data meeting lived experience. As conversations lingered late into the night, the takeaway was subtle but unmistakable: longevity’s next chapter is being shaped not just through research, but through community, dialogue, and the rooms where those ideas quietly converge.
