SXSW 2025 is right around the corner, and if you’re passionate about wellness, longevity, and optimizing your health, this is one event you don’t want to miss. Every year, SXSW brings together the brightest minds shaping the future of wellness—from longevity experts and mental health advocates to AI pioneers and trailblazers in holistic health. And this year promises to be bigger and more transformational than ever.

Let’s dive into the key themes that will be defining the future of wellness at SXSW 2025 and the experts you should have on your radar.

Living Longer, Living Stronger: The Longevity Revolution

We’re not just talking about living longer; we’re talking about living better for longer. With advancements in longevity science, regenerative medicine, and cellular health, experts like Dr. Peter Attia—longevity specialist and best-selling author—will be breaking down how we can enhance our healthspan (the years we live in optimal health) through data-driven lifestyle interventions, personalized medicine, and cutting-edge biotech.

Expect deep dives into everything from fasting and metabolic health to sleep optimization and exercise strategies that can actually slow down aging (yes, you read that right). If you’re obsessed with biohacking and longevity, this will be your jam.

AI & Your Health: The Future is Now

AI is revolutionizing everything—including our personal health. This year’s SXSW will showcase how artificial intelligence is reshaping self-care, mental health, and even how we interact with our future selves. How cool is that?!

One panel we can’t wait for is ‘Hi! I’m Future You: Cultivating Long-Term Wellbeing with AI‘. The eye-opening ideas presented will explore how AI-generated future self-visualizations can help us make healthier decisions today. This panel will feature insights from AI thought leaders from Harvard, MIT and UCLA who are bridging technology and wellness in ways we never thought possible.

Women’s Wellness: A New Era of Care & Innovation

Women’s health is no longer being treated as a niche category—it’s (finally!) taking center stage. From innovations in hormonal health and menopause, to fertility tech and holistic approaches to cycle syncing, SXSW 2025 is bringing together the voices leading this revolution.

Look out for Erica Huss, wellness entrepreneur and co-founder of several women’s health brands, as she shares insights on the biggest gaps in women’s wellness and how we navigate our health in new and sustainable ways.

Brain Power: Mental Health Meets High Performance

Gone are the days when mental health was an afterthought—brain health is now front and center in the wellness space. At SXSW 2025, speakers like Kati Morton, a licensed therapist and digital mental health advocate, will break down how we can build resilience and proactively prevent overstimulation and burnout.

From meditation and breathwork to the latest in neurofeedback and psychedelic therapy, the conversations at SXSW will explore the evolution of approaches to mental well-being.

Beyond Medicine: The Rise of Holistic Health

More people are waking up to the fact that true wellness isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about prevention and a 360-degree approach to well-being. From the power of gut health and NAD+ therapy for cellular repair to hydrotherapy and functional movement practices, SXSW will explore how we can prioritize our well-being holistically, using science to qualify, support and expand on traditional holistic therapies that have stood the test of time.
