Are you actively part of the lifestyle medicine community? Or simply curious to explore? This event is perfect for both, with the UAE about to take a major step forward in the field of preventive health and well-being.
From 17 to 19 October 2025, the 1st UAE Annual Lifestyle and Longevity Medicine Conference will take place at Erth Abu Dhabi Hotel. The event marks a new era in how healthcare is approached across the country and the wider region.
Hosted by the Emirates Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine Society (ELLMS) in collaboration with the Emirates Medical Association (EMA) and the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine (IBLM), medical professionals, researchers, policymakers, and innovators will collaborate towards a healthier future.
What to expect at the 1st UAE Annual Lifestyle and Longevity Medicine Conference
The three-day event is designed to elevate the practice of lifestyle medicine in both clinical and public health settings. Participants will experience an accredited programme led by international and regional experts, exploring the key pillars that shape the fields of lifestyle and longevity medicine.
Sessions will cover a wide range of topics, including nutrition, mental health, physical activity, genomics, digital health tools, behavioural science, and integrative care.
The goal of the 1st UAE Annual Lifestyle and Longevity Medicine Conference is to bridge the gap between research and real-world practice, providing clinicians, health coaches, and policy leaders with practical skills, case-based learning, and exposure to the latest developments in health technology and prevention models.
Interactive workshops, wellness experiences, and networking sessions are also part of the agenda, perfect for both professional growth and collaboration.
Take at the broad themes that will be explored and analysed in detail over the three days:
Day 1 – Clinical Foundations In Lifestyle & Preventive Health
Day 2 – Systems Health, Stress & Health Span Science
Day 3 – Tech, Tools & Translating Knowledge Into Practice
What makes this event especially significant is its multidisciplinary nature. From doctors and researchers to innovators and decision-makers, the conference serves as a platform for sharing insights, developing solutions, and driving collective progress in healthcare delivery.
As part of the conference, participants will also be able to apply for the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine (IBLM) certification. The Emirates Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine Society (ELLMS) is the official partner and sole certifying organisation in the UAE.
While registration for the 2025 certification is now closed, watch their space for further information on the upcoming cycle.
A new era for healthcare in the UAE
Founded in 2025 under the umbrella of the Emirates Medical Association, the Emirates Lifestyle and Longevity Medicine Society is the first professional body in the UAE dedicated to advancing both lifestyle medicine and longevity science.
At its core, ELLMS recognises the urgent need for a shift in how healthcare systems operate. Rather than treating illness after it appears, this is a more proactive approach to address the root causes of chronic diseases and thereby expand not just lifespan, but also healthspan.
The future of health begins here
The 1st UAE Annual Lifestyle and Longevity Medicine Conference is the beginning of a larger movement to redefine how health is perceived.
The landmark event aims to pave the way for a healthcare model that values prevention, personal responsibility, and long-term well-being. For the UAE, it’s not just about adding years to life, but life to years.
Of the event, Dr Abeer AlTeneiji, President of the Emirates Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine Society, says, “This is the beginning of a transformative movement in healthcare, one that places prevention, personalisation, and empowerment at its core.”
“Whether you are a clinician, researcher, policymaker, or healthcare innovator,” she notes, “this conference will equip you with cutting-edge insights, practical tools, and access to a dynamic network of professionals dedicated to advancing human health.”
