About

Achieve new heights. The word “Arête” refers to both a sharp mountain ridge and the Ancient Greek virtue of “excellence.” Here, the boundless majesty of the former inspires a passion for the latter.

Tony Molina, Founder

Tony stands among the great thought leaders in the contemporary longevity eco space and precision self-care industry leading the expansion out of managed care into the 21st century lifestyle of epigenetics. Being trauma informed, Tony works in the health space teaching biologic resilience, treating trauma and influencing society and culture in biotuning- a path out of dis-ease and pathology and into resilience, metabolic elasticity and flexibility, health span and well span. Tony is a high energy knowledgeable presenter having successfully been on The Human Upgrade podcast with Dave Asprey and presenter at the 2021, 2022 and 2023 International Biohacking Conferences on longevity topics.

Tony began his experience and education as an Amphibious Reconnaissance Marine Team Leader in the first Gulf War during Operation Desert Storm, as a U.S. Navy Diver and leader of Marines. Tony then raced as a professional athlete on the elite professional expedition competition racing circuit producing life affirming achievements during nonstop, 24 hours a day, weeklong adventure races held around the world the most famous being Mark Burnett’s Eco Challenge and the Infamous Raid Gauloises which were held in remote locations in the world requiring world class skill in over 10 disciplines.

Tony is releasing his first book on programming longevity this spring 2024; a beginning treatise that contributes to the longevity and biology space providing the means and language for culture and society to grasp the infrastructure in influencing well span, health span and lifespan.

Tony is a teacher, speaker, facilitator, thought leader and author that has conducted practical longevity research at high altitude for decades throughout Volcano Alley in South America in the Andes of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Argentina, in Africa on Mt Kenya and Kilimanjaro, along the Cascades and High Sierras in California and most currently in the Himalayas in Nepal on Ama Dablam- 23,000 feet working out the effects of hypoxia, pressure and metabolism in humans and the responses to rapid ascent/descent at altitude. Tony has created the human adaptation system (HAS) from this firsthand research of years of successful rapid ascent to extreme altitude currently having just climbed Ama Dablam in ten days: normally a thirty-day expedition.

Tony has helped thousands of people navigate the longevity eco space including Lykke Li, Peter Guber, Roma Downey, and Mark Burnett. Tony is also the Senior Research and Development Specialist at Powerplate, the leaders in whole body vibration.
