Canyon Ranch, the legendary wellness experience and hospitality company, has unveiled its latest innovation: LONGEVITY8™, a groundbreaking program designed to extend both lifespan and health span. LONGEVITY8 is the most thorough and thoughtful offering in the category, inspired by eight core principles and built on Canyon Ranch’s decades of expertise combined with new technology and tools.

The eight guiding principles of LONGEVITY8 include Integrative Medicine, Flexibility and Fitness, Nutrition, Sleep, Spiritual Wellness, Mental and Emotional Health, Outdoor Activity, and Strength and Endurance. This holistic approach ensures that guests not only live longer but also enjoy a higher quality of life.

LONGEVITY8 involves a four-day, four-night all-inclusive stay at Canyon Ranch's Tucson resort. During their stay, guests will undergo 15 diagnostic tests assessing over 200 biomarkers, including blood work, cancer screening, and genetic testing. Additional scientific evaluations, such as VO2 Max and DEXA Body Composition, are offered at the resort's state-of-the-art medical center. These assessments aim to enhance both lifespan and health span by identifying and addressing key health factors.

The program also includes 18 one-on-one consultations with Canyon Ranch’s team of experts, comprising board-certified doctors, licensed practitioners, and professional service providers. Guests will benefit from six months of virtual follow-ups, ensuring that the positive changes initiated during the program continue long after their stay.

Canyon Ranch CEO Mark Rivers emphasized the program’s unique approach, stating, "LONGEVITY8 thoroughly and thoughtfully provides the road map for the entire journey to live younger, longer. While tools and technology are critical, we believe that expertise, human connection, and a total perspective are most important for a life of health and happiness."

LONGEVITY8 is particularly significant for Generation X, as they observe their parents living longer lives, but not necessarily healthier ones. According to 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 principles of LONGEVITY8 can make a direct impact."

The inaugural LONGEVITY8 session will take place at Canyon Ranch's Tucson resort from November 10-14, 2024, with the next session scheduled for December 8-12, 2024. Additional programs will be available throughout 2025. The investment for this transformative experience is $20,000 per person or $36,000 per couple.

Booking for LONGEVITY8 opens on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Interested guests can learn more and secure their spot by visiting canyonranch.com/longevity8 or calling 866-494-9279.
