🚀 RAADFest: The Ultimate Longevity Experience (And Yes, I Jumped in the Street!)
A few months ago, I received a message that made my heart skip a beat.
Dr. Melissa Petersen (follow her on instagram for tons of info on peptides!), who leads the Women’s Clinic at RAADFest, reached out and invited me to join a longevity panel alongside some of the top minds in the space.
I was in Marseille at the time, getting ready to speak at a longevity conference, walking with my Chief of Staff Gwen, when the message landed.
She instantly sensed something big had just happened. Next thing you know, I was jumping up and down on the sidewalk, completely ignoring the people staring — and yes, Gwen caught it all on camera! 🎥💃
🧬 Why I Said Yes Without Hesitation
Sharing knowledge is my fuel. It’s why I wake up in the morning, and what brings me joy at night.
I don’t pretend to know everything — I’m not a doctor, I don’t have all the answers, and I certainly don’t master every biomedical pathway (only a few).
But I’ve been a biohacker since 1998, back when it wasn’t cool, and definitely before it was trending.
I am not 55, and I don’t let my chronological age define me as:
my skeleton is 26
my immune system is 34
my skin is 40
and my spirit/soul/mind? 150 at times, 35 at others times and yes…sometimes I am a 5 year old kid rolling on the floor with my dog and laughing my heart out
Oh — and I’ve authored 55 books translated into 5 languages… and that was before the rise of ChatGPT 😉
I love digging into science, interviewing experts, and most of all: cutting through the noise.
There’s a LOT of BS in the world of wellness — let’s face it — so think of me as your friendly Biohacking Cop 👮♀️🧪
💥 RAADFest Highlights
RAADFest did not disappoint.
✨ I met James Strole, the festival's founder, a charismatic ball of energy with a great tan, an enviable head of hair, and an unwavering commitment to pushing back the boundaries of aging. He’s the real deal.
✨ Finally got to hug Dave Pascoe IRL — the man many call the slowest-aging human on the planet. His biomarkers are off the charts. He’s humble, smart, and an absolute force in the longevity community. Follow him on IG, seriously.
✨ Reconnected with Lea Llovio, a fellow biohacker who blends spirituality and science. She's deep into peptides, supplements, and quantum healing — a fascinating combo.
✨ Two members of BPC (Best Performance Crew) from San Francisco — Daniel and Rachael — joined me for the ride. Always more fun when you’re surrounded by your tribe 💫
✨ I discovered Lumati, a company offering a cutting-edge 5-in-1 modality (think light therapy, frequency tuning, and cellular support in one platform). Can’t wait to share more — I felt incredible after my session.
✨ Interviewed Dr. Alex Borsand, an expert on HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) — and YES, expect a few reels to drop soon on my Instagram @valerieorsoni 🧠💨 Alex put me in touch with OxyHealth, the leading provider of high quality hyperbaric chambers and guess what? I am now the proud owner of a Vitaeris 320 in which I spend an hour a day!
✨ Got my hair pulled (literally!) by the folks at Acorn — why? Because they’re cryopreserving my stem cells and building a potential future bank of regenerative resources. A moment of science-meets-sci-fi 🔬❄️ Thank you Dave for making this experience as painless as possible and actually…fun! Cannot wait to receive my secretomes and get going with some micro needling on my face, arms and legs!
👩⚕️ Women's Longevity Panel
And then... boom! I found myself on the main stage, part of an inspiring Women’s Longevity Panel, diving into what actually helps women live longer and thrive better.
From hormones to habits, peptides to purpose — we covered it all.
📺 I’ll be posting a short behind-the-scenes video of the panel very soon on Instagram @valerieorsoni.
🧬 Telomeres & Beyond
I also had the honor of meeting Dr. Bill Andrews, legendary for his work on telomerase and telomere biology. His insights on cellular aging are mind-blowing, and I left our conversation buzzing with ideas.
📍See You at RAADFest 2026!
Next year, RAADFest moves to Washington D.C. in the fall 2026 — and I hope to see YOU there.
🗓 Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing a special promo code soon so you can join this extraordinary community of age-defiers, scientists, innovators, and health rebels.
In the meantime, keep questioning, keep testing, keep optimizing 💥
Forza!
