On August 14, 2022, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invited James Strole, the Executive Director of the Coalition for Radical Life Extension and organizer of the RAAD Festival (RAADfest) for a conversation about how one can find the inner strength to support radical life extension and wage the war against aging and death during the challenging times in which we live. He and the panel shared what brought them to the fight, and what motivates them to continue.

James Strole is the Executive Director of the Coalition for Radical Life Extension, which is the producer of RAADfest, the largest global event of its kind. James is also the Co-Founder and Co-Director of People Unlimited, an organization that supports people interested in unlimited lifespans. Co-author of the book “Just Getting Started: Fifty Years of Living Forever”, James is a visionary anti-death activist and community builder who has spoken and written on radical life extension and physical immortality for over four decades. He has dedicated his life to challenging death-oriented beliefs and practices, and has coached thousands of people in living an ageless lifestyle to achieve healthier, fuller, more vibrant lives. He has appeared on numerous TV shows both domestically and abroad, and has spoken to audiences on four continents.

RAADfest 2022 was held in San Diego, California, on October 6-9, 2022. Visit the RAADfest 2022 website.

As in every year since the inception of RAADfest in 2016, the U.S. Transhumanist Party was again represented there. View the announcement of this from the U.S. Transhumanist Party.

James Strole

Dr. Nichola Conlon, Nuchido CEO & Co-founder, spoke with James Strole, Director of the Coalition for Radical Life Extension, about what she’s bringing to RAADfest 2019:
***
Increasing NAD+ levels to a level comparable with people 17 years younger. 
***
NAD is a natural molecule found within every living cell of your body. Without it, your body couldn’t generate the energy it needs to survive or kick-start its natural cell maintenance and repair systems. In its youthful state, your body naturally makes and retains high levels of NAD. But as you age, these levels are not maintained and the amount of NAD in your body drops by 50% every 20 years. This decline has been scientifically linked to the increasing effects of aging.
***
Recent scientific breakthroughs have shown that one of the best ways to combat aging is to maintain high levels of NAD.
***
Nuchido has pioneered the use of systems pharmacology and clinical research to boost and maintain NAD. In a scientific world-first, the team achieved the biggest increase of NAD in humans reported by any scientific group.
