WorldLink Medical Announces Speakers for 11th Annual Academic Summit

Nationally Recognized Researchers and Clinicians to Present the Latest Evidence in Hormone Optimization, Women's Health, Metabolic Medicine, and Longevity

Salt Lake City, Utah – July 15, 2026 — WorldLink Medical today announced the first confirmed speakers for its 11th Annual Academic Summit, taking place September 18–20, 2026, at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. This event is directed towards licensed medical professionals.

The annual Summit brings together leading researchers and clinicians to examine the latest evidence shaping hormone optimization, menopause care, cardiovascular health, oncology, neuroscience, metabolic medicine, and longevity. This year's first speaker announcement showcases nationally recognized experts whose work is influencing how clinicians approach some of the most important questions in modern medicine.

"Our Academic Summit has always been about bringing together the brightest minds to challenge assumptions, examine the evidence, and advance the practice of optimal medicine," said Dana Burnett, Executive Director of WorldLink Medical. "This year's faculty represents some of the most influential researchers and educators in cardiology, oncology, neuroscience, exercise science, and women's health. Their work is helping redefine how clinicians understand hormone therapy, metabolic health, and preventive medicine. There is simply no substitute for experiencing these conversations in person, where meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and learning happen beyond the lecture hall."

Unlike traditional specialty conferences, the WorldLink Medical Academic Summit intentionally brings together experts whose research spans multiple disciplines over several decades, highlighting how hormone health intersects with cardiovascular disease, cancer risk, brain health, metabolism, and physical performance. Attendees don't simply hear the latest research. They gain a deeper understanding of how discoveries across specialties connect to improve patient care.
