An invitation to Lahvie's inaugural gathering
The next thirty years don't happen by accident.
Over the past year I have been to more funerals than weddings. Two friends buried their fathers. Both men had been vigorous once. Both lived a long time. But the last decade of each was a long narrowing — and nobody could say when it began.
There is a stretch, sometimes ten years or longer, when a man is not sick but is no longer fully well, and is quietly losing the ability to say yes to things. No appointment marks it. No lab flags it. It starts while everything still looks fine.
My own labs are normal. Theirs were once, too. That is precisely the point.
The question I keep coming back to is not how long will I live, or even how healthy am I right now. It is this: how much of what I have is still available to me when my life asks for it?

Midlife has a way of narrowing what we imagine is still possible. This gathering is designed to push in the other direction.
The science makes your trajectory visible. Art expands the imagination. Golf slows the pace enough for honest conversation. And the room makes change feel possible.
You leave with a clearer view of what you want the next thirty years to become — and a physician-led plan for building the health and capacity to pursue it.
Most medicine asks whether disease is present today. Trajectory Medicine asks where your health is headed — and what can still be changed. Before we ever meet, you and I complete the workup most programs skip.
A complete, structured health history designed to uncover what a routine physical can miss.
Drawn at a Quest location near your home, including cardiovascular and metabolic biomarkers not typically included in a routine physical.
So our time together in Miami is spent on your trajectory, not getting acquainted.
By the time we gather in Miami, we won't be introducing ourselves.
Eighteen holes, white Lahvie hats, and the kind of conversation that only happens walking a fairway. Golf gives us time, difficulty, adjustment, and room to talk — many of the same things the next chapter will require.
A deliberately small room where men can speak plainly about what they are building, what they want to protect, and what the next thirty years can become.
Admission to Art Basel Miami Beach, and a curated Lahvie art evening — a conversation about what the next thirty years look like, and how art and culture shape the answer. Midlife narrows what we imagine is possible. Art interrupts that.
Measured directly, interpreted privately. We quantify the capacity of your engine and how efficiently it uses fuel as demand rises. You leave with your Personalized Trajectory Plan.
We directly measure two dimensions of performance most physicals never quantify — revealing not only the size of your engine, but how efficiently it produces and uses energy.
Dr. Amos LadouceurI built Lahvie because I came to believe medicine was answering the wrong question. Most healthcare asks whether disease is present today. I wanted to ask something more useful: Where is your health headed? What can we still change? And what kind of life are you trying to build over the next thirty years?
Not includedTravel, accommodations, meals, and personal expenses. Rooms in Lahvie's block at the Andaz Miami Beach are currently approximately $695 per night, before taxes and fees; you'll receive the private booking link once you accept.
Lahvie is beginning with a deliberately small group of men who are still building — men willing to look honestly at where their health is headed and think expansively about what comes next.
By the time we arrive in Miami, we will already understand your health story. Together, we will turn that information into direction — and ask what the next thirty years can become.
Please respond by September 1 so we have enough time to complete your pre-Miami assessment.
