Speaker
Health & Longevity Summit 2026
Olivia Lesslar
Functional medicine doctor & psychoneuroimmunology expert
Dr Olivia Ly Lesslar is an Australian medical doctor recognised internationally for her work in psychoneuroimmunology and longevity medicine. Often described as a "medical Sherlock Holmes," she is known for synthesising insights across multiple fields of medicine to unravel complex, multi-system conditions that defy conventional diagnostic frameworks.
She is Director of Functional and Longevity Medicine at Cingulum Health in Sydney, and Medical Architect and Founding Medical Mentor of Eir Liv, a medicalised longevity members' club where she designed the clinical framework underpinning its integrative model. Internationally, she is Founding Chief Clinical and Standards Advisor to Elite Optimal Health Centre in Accra, Ghana.
Dr Lesslar holds leadership and advisory positions across more than thirty international organisations in neurotechnology, biotechnology and space medicine, including Human Regenerator (UK), Sens.ai (Canada) and Oxford Healthspan (UK). She also holds academic appointments at Griffith University and the Geneva College of Longevity Science, and has lectured at Oxford, Georgetown and UC Berkeley.
In 2025, she completed a seven-city speaking tour across Australia and New Zealand presenting The Nine Ancient Survival Threats, her original framework on the evolutionary roots of chronic disease. Her 2022 TEDx Melbourne talk reflects her broader advocacy for medical autonomy.
At ELEVATE, Olivia will explore the connections between muscle, mind and the mitochondria.
