Canyon Ranch announced LONGEVITY8, the most thorough and thoughtful offering yet in the category of extending lifespan and health span. LONGEVITY8 is inspired by eight principles and built on Canyon Ranch's decades of expertise and new technology and tools while remaining deeply rooted in human connection. The eight principles of LONGEVITY8 include Integrative Medicine, Flexibility and Fitness, Nutrition, Sleep, Spiritual Wellness, Mental and Emotional Health, Outdoor Activity, and Strength and Endurance.

The four-day program enables Canyon Ranch guests to undergo 15 diagnostic tests and assesses more than 200 biomarkers including blood work, cancer screening and genetic testing. LONGEVITY8 also offers additional scientific evaluations at the resort's state-of-the-art medical center in Tucson. These evaluations include VO2 Max, DEXA Body composition and others to help extend not only lifespan, but also health span, which is the length of time that a person is healthy.

The inaugural LONGEVITY8 session debuts exclusively at Canyon Ranch's Tucson resort on November 10-14, 2024. The investment is $20K per person or $36K per couple and involves a four-day, four-night all-inclusive stay that covers accommodations, meals, 30+ guest activities daily and all testing, educational sessions, consultations, and related health and well-being services. The next session will take place December 8-12, 2024, with an additional 10 programs running in 2025.

"LONGEVITY8 thoroughly and thoughtfully provides the road map for the entire journey to live younger longer and is strongly based on our focus on the totality of body, mind and spirit," said Canyon Ranch CEO, Mark Rivers. "We know that longevity is the ultimate human endeavor and while tools and technology are critical, we know that expertise, human connection, and total perspective may be most important of to a life of health and happiness."

Included in LONGEVITY8 are 18 one-on-one consultations and six months of virtual follow-ups and appointments with Canyon Ranch's team of experts, including board-certified doctors, licensed practitioners and professional service providers. LONGEVITY8 connects each guest directly with expert providers for physician consultations, spiritual wellness guidance, behavioral and emotional health support, diet and nutrition coaching, sports performance and science, sleep analysis and more.

"Extending lifespan while improving health span has never been more important, particularly for Generation X as we age and begin to see our parents living longer but not necessarily healthier," said Rivers. "Only 20-40% of factors that determine lifespan are inherited genetically. This means 60-80% of these elements are trainable and adaptable based on lifestyle adjustments in mind, body and spirit, which is where the principals of LONGEVITY8 can make a direct impact."
