San Diegans can learn strategies for living a longer, healthier life at a public keynote address by Dr. Valter Longo, author of “The Longevity Diet.” The keynote is the only public portion of the 18th annual Natural Supplements Conference, a continuing educational event for medical professionals hosted by the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Longo is director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California and is also director of the Program on Longevity and Cancer at the IFOM Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan, Italy. In “The Longevity Diet,” Dr. Longo describes the lifelong health benefits of an easy-to-follow “everyday” diet, combined with short periods of fasting-mimicking diet (FMD). He developed the FMD following 25 years of global research on aging, nutrition and disease, and after making a series of remarkable discoveries in mice and humans. He discovered that specific diets can activate stem cells and promote regeneration and rejuvenation in multiple organs to reduce the risk for diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease. His daily nutrition plan, together with periodic fasting-mimicking techniques, has yielded startling results in the lab and in clinical trials. FMD provides the health benefits of a calorie-restrictive diet, while avoiding common fasting-related stressors such as low energy and sleeplessness. All who attend the keynote address in-person must be free of COVID-19 symptoms, wear face masks and remain physically distanced. Virtual participation will be available for those who recently have been exposed to or tested positive for COVID-19 and/or are symptomatic. Payment by credit card or debit card only, no cash.

Join us for an opening reception on Friday, January 27, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. San Diego and Tijuana are geographically and historically sister cities, but in many ways today, they can seem worlds apart. Art and culture continue to bridge the physical boundary between the countries, fostering ongoing connections between creators and patrons in both regions. Paisanos, a project coordinated by the Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura de Tijuana, is dedicated to developing a formal discussion surrounding migration and movement, and has brought together a collection of two-dimensional artworks whose narratives are inspired by their creator’s proximity to the border and life between two countries. Sparks Gallery and the Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura de Tijuana are pleased to jointly present this collection in “Paisanos México,” opening January 2023 at Sparks Gallery in downtown San Diego (530 Sixth Avenue). Sparks Gallery fosters collaboration through art exhibitions, and is pleased to host its first international exhibition with artists from the Tijuana region. The exhibition consists of 17 pieces made in a variety of mediums by the following artists: Luis Alderete, Carlos Castrejón, Laura Lehman, Pablo Castañeda, Francisco Chávez Corrujedo, Carlos Coronado Ortega, Angela González, Ruth Hernández Ortíz, Virinia Lizardi, Daniel Marquéz, Antonio Oceguera Figueroa, Francisco Postlethwaite, Margarita Torres, Gerardo Diego, Ligia Santillan, Tony Beltran, and Liz Vaillard. All works on view will be for sale at the gallery. RSVP for this event here!
