Here’s the Experience We’ve Curated for You

Step into a world where wellness meets wonder. Live Young 2025 invites you to a four-day sojourn of self-discovery, wellness mastery, and communal joy. From sunrise workouts to sunset meditations, with hands-on regimens and learning in between, each moment is a step toward living your youngest life.


Live Young 2025 is more than a retreat—it’s your gateway to a life reimagined. Led by healthy-aging coach Darnell Cox, this exclusive gathering in the serene landscapes of Malibu, CA, unlocks the secrets to enduring health and beauty, as well as a youthful outlook – no matter what age or stage of life you are. You’re never too old to start living young, and you’re never too young to start.

Engage in a personalized exploration of wellness practices, beauty routines, and nutritional wisdom that Darnell herself embodies for a radiant existence.


Revitalize Your Skin Inside and Out:
Dive into Darnell’s revolutionary skincare practices, where the magic of nature meets the precision of science. After years of study, experimentation, and working with the country’s top dermatologists and estheticians, Darnell has crafted a skincare practice that combines the healing powers of natural ingredients with the latest in scientific studies. You’re not just mindlessly applying topical products that are promoted by large corporations; you’re using the Live Young Method to “trick your skin” into behaving in ways that promote a youthful appearance and radiate health.

Nutrition for Vitality:
Get ready to transform your eating habits into a powerful tool for vitality with Darnell’s culinary guidance. She opens up her kitchen to reveal the foods that will make you feel most alive, vibrant, and satiated without sacrificing flavor. From antioxidant-rich breakfasts to protein-packed dinners, learn how to craft meals that are as nourishing as they are delicious. Darnell’s approach to nutrition emphasizes the joy of eating and its critical role in maintaining a youthful body and skin. Learn the truth about diets, intermittent fasting, and even the weight-loss shots that have taken hold of our society.


Mental Wellness Mastery:
Begin and end each day with the serenity of Darnell’s personal mindfulness and meditation practices. With her master’s degree in psychology, Darnell has spent decades creating strategies to lower stress levels, enhance mental clarity, and cultivate a positive and resilient mindset. These practices aren’t just mere mental exercises; they represent a way of living, a path to maintaining vibrancy and zest for life at any age. Discover how mindfulness can transform not just your mornings and evenings but provide a beacon of tranquility and empowerment throughout your day.

Immerse yourself in a transformational experience where each day brings you closer to the essence of true wellness and beauty, inside and out.

You’ll learn the truth about which personal care devices, potions, and pills really work. You’ll discover the power of healthy eating, age-specific exercise, and intentional sleeping therapies.

Live Young 2025 is your stepping stone, no matter where you are on your journey to a life where age really is just a number.

At Live Young 2025, every element of your weekend is designed to cultivate wellness, beauty, and connection.

Meet Your Host

Darnell Cox,
Healthy Aging Specialist
Gerontologist

With humble beginnings in a small farming town in Central California, Darnell’s thirst for knowledge and boundless ambition whisked her far beyond the confines of her upbringing. Los Angeles became her stage, where she shone brightly, earning her undergraduate degree from Cal State Northridge, and two master’s degrees from Pepperdine University in psychology, and USC in gerontology.

Darnell’s story is more than just academic achievement; it’s about transformation. After an international chapter in Shanghai and Singapore, Darnell returned to L.A., a city that had always ignited her ambition. Here, she raised three children and pursued her unwavering passion for the mysteries of health, beauty, longevity, and the complexities of aging.

This quest for understanding hasn’t just been academic; Darnell became a beacon in the health and wellness community, earning certifications in Integrative Nutrition and Health Coaching from I.N.N. and completing a rigorous 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training.

Darnell’s life is a testament to the power of dreaming big, seeking knowledge, and being an eternal student of life and wellness. Join her at Live Young 2025, where she’ll guide us through the confusing maze of promises made by so many product lines and advertisements with clarity, inspiration, and a personalized regimen that will truly change the way you look and feel.
