Dr. Weiner’s Insights from A4M’s Longevity Conference 2024
Top insights from A4M’s Longevity Conference in Las Vegas, including neurotransmitter health, vagus nerve stimulation, GLP-1 therapy, and cellular longevity.
The A4M Longevity Conference brought together experts to share research and practical insights on health, aging, and optimization. As a speaker and attendee, I presented on psychedelics and pain management while learning about innovative approaches to longevity.
Here are my takeaways:
Neurotransmitter Balance and Methylation for Mental Health
Neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are essential for mood and cognitive health. Imbalances can disrupt emotional well-being and mental clarity. Optimizing methylation, a key epigenetic process, can restore balance and improve mental health.
Vitamin B6 and biotin, found in foods like poultry and nuts, are necessary cofactors for methylation. To support neurotransmitter health, we now offer Deplin, a medical food designed to boost brain L-methylfolate levels. This supports neurotransmitter production, which may enhance mood and emotional stability.
For individuals with diabetes-related nerve damage, we now offer Metanx, another medical food shown to support nerve health and function.
The Benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) activates the "rest and digest" system, improving stress regulation, reducing inflammation, and balancing the nervous system.
VNS is effective for managing chronic pain, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, and migraines. It provides a non-invasive, drug-free way to enhance both physical and mental health.
We’re proud to partner with Truvaga, a clinically proven VNS device that can be used anytime, anywhere. Truvaga’s gentle yet effective technology promotes calmness, mental clarity, and better sleep.

GLP-1 Hormones and Microbiome Health
GLP-1 hormones regulate glucose and enhance insulin secretion. They are being studied for diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cardiovascular health, and even cancer.
A healthy microbiome amplifies GLP-1 benefits, highlighting the importance of digestive health and detoxification. Proper GLP-1 use requires increased protein intake to minimize muscle loss.
We now offer GLP-1 therapy combined with holistic care plans. Contact us to learn more about how this therapy can support your health.
Longevity Science and Cellular Health
Advancements in longevity science reveal simple yet powerful ways to support cellular health and aging:
Telomere Length: Telomeres act as cellular age markers. Diets rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and vitamins protect them, while processed foods harm them.
Mitochondrial Support: Supplements like CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, and NAC improve mitochondrial health and metabolic efficiency.
NAD+ and Nitric Oxide: These are essential for DNA repair and cellular function but decline with age. Lifestyle changes and supplements can support these vital molecules.
My Presentation on Psychedelics, Pain Management, and Neuroplasticity
At the conference, I presented on psychedelics' role in pain management and improving quality of life. It’s a topic I’m passionate about and one that aligns closely with the care we provide at NeuroPain Health.
