About Doc

Advances in longevity-related science are accelerating against a backdrop of false claims and marketing schemes. How can we go fast but not break things? How can we parse credible, life-enhancing science from the incessant pseudo-science dominating today’s health narrative?

Inspired by the intimate early days of TED (the Monterey era, when it felt like a salon) and Allen & Co, a small group of thoughtful, committed scientists and leaders have come together to animate a movement anchored in ‘truth in medicine.’ To enhance the experience, an interactive testing suite will let our community measure, monitor, and gain insight into their health and longevity using the latest, scientifically validated diagnostics.

For three days this Fall, the DOC experience will transform the Estate Yountville into an exclusive and intimate community committed to scaling proven advances in medicine. DOC features a faculty of the most important scientists you need to know - each at the forefront of singular medical advances that are impactful right now. The agenda will highlight actionable insights into artificial intelligence, longevity, and women's health. Participants - leaders in business, technology, and finance - have the opportunity to engage in credible scientific tests that illuminate biology, sleep, and brain health and to discuss their results with the DOC faculty.

Join us in Napa this Fall as we identify and harness credible, meaningful medical advances.
