Your Family’s Multi-Generational Healthspan/Lifespan™ Journey Begins Here
There is no greater gift to a Family than maintaining and improving the health of each member. Enabling future generations to live longer, healthier lives is the most meaningful legacy you can leave. The Grand Teton Club aspires to foster a community of like-minded, technologically optimistic, and future-facing families who believe that community and mindset are essential pillars of the Healthspan/Lifespan philosophy.
What is Healthspan/Lifespan™
Healthspan and lifespan are two related, but distinct concepts used to measure two aspects of human longevity and overall human health.
Lifespan: length of time a person lives
Healthspan: the duration of healthy & functional life
Maximizing both Lifespan and Healthspan typically requires a combination of genetics, lifestyle choices, disease prevention, and access to quality healthcare.
A Community That Offers
A Legacy of Wellness Through the Five Pillars of Multi-Generational Healthspan/Lifespan™.
Diet
Farm-to-table nutrition via on-site vertical farming & regenerative agriculture and humane animal husbandry.
Exercise
Private golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, snowmobiling, biking, horseback riding, 100+ miles of trails, and a state-of-the-art fitness center—plus easy access to premier ski resorts.
Sleep
Noise-free wilderness and homes designed to optimize sleep
Technology
Annual full-genome sequencing, full-body MRI scans (onsite or at remote imaging facilities), and AI-driven health diagnostics.
Community
A supportive, like-minded community is essential to a thriving Healthspan/Lifespan lifestyle. At The Grand Teton Club, families connect through shared values—wellness, nature, purpose, optimism, and legacy. Our environment fosters meaningful relationships across generations, encouraging members to learn, grow, and live with intention. Through communal activities, shared experiences, and a collective commitment to future-focused living, the Grand Teton Club community strengthens emotional well-being, enhances resilience, and helps each family build a healthier, more connected future. 125+ families pioneering the future of proactive healthcare.
The Family Biorepository Concept
The Grand Teton Club Is the First Community
to Develop the Concept of a Family Biorepository
A BioRepository is a facility that collects and stores samples of biological materials such as DNA, stem cells, blood, sperm and eggs, certain body tissues and proteins.
Why in the world would someone build and maintain a BioRepository under their guesthouse? To answer this, let me tell you something about our founder’s family history and genealogy.
Our founder was born in Korea just 10 years after the end of the Korean War. He traces his family back nearly 425 years and 19 generations in the southern port city of Busan, Korea. His family was never wealthy, but these family genealogical records remain a precious and important part of his family’s genetic and hereditary legacy. If these ancestors had been able to sequence their genomes annually, so much more information about them could be known and understood. By studying the epigenetic changes from year to year in one’s ancestors, one can gain great insights into the lives they lived and challenges they faced and in doing so, find out so much about who they were and why they became who they became. Future generations will also know about our lives and themselves, in addition to how they came to be who they are genetically and biologically.
David Choo
Today, we have the unprecedented opportunity to sequence our genomes annually (or regularly) and to archive this information for posterity. This effort extends beyond preserving cultural and familial heritage; it captures the biological narrative of each generation. As the first generation in human history able to sequence our genomes, we believe future descendants will appreciate—and perhaps expect—that we embraced these technologies to document, safeguard, and pass forward our genetic records for their benefit and for the advancement of humanity.
A New Standard for Generational Preservation
Preserving Health, Knowledge, and Legacy for Generations
A groundbreaking, technology-forward facility built as a steel-reinforced concrete storage area beneath each homesite. Designed to preserve as many generations of sequenced genomes (DNA) as a family chooses to archive, it also provides secure long-term storage for other biological materials, including stem cells, banked sperm and egg specimens, and select tissues. This resource is created for the benefit of both present and future generations of each family’s descendants.
Club members will become Founding Patriarchs and Matriarchs of their Family’s commitment to a tradition of Healthspan/Lifespan practices and lifestyles, as well as the sequencing and preservation of their Family’s genetic heritage for generations to come.
With the advent of genomic biotechnology, sequencing and archiving the genomes of each family member over the course of several future generations of your family will enhance your family’s ability to understand and create individualized and family‐based treatments to help optimize Healthspan/Lifespan for future generations of your descendants.
We are confident that families who begin this archiving today will gain significant long-term advantages, with benefits that may extend across multiple generations, while those who postpone or forgo this opportunity may miss out on its profound future impact.
When Dr. Craig Venter first sequenced the human genome in 2003, humanity entered a new era—one in which the full identification of approximately 3.2 billion DNA base pairs became possible. This milestone opened the path toward truly understanding and harnessing our genetic code. Families who choose to sequence and archive their genomes now position themselves to benefit from future medical breakthroughs, especially as advanced AI and emerging quantum computing technologies accelerate our ability to “crack the code” and potentially add years—or even decades—to healthy human life.
The Grand Teton Club:
Medical Diagnostic Clinic
Grand Teton Club plans to be the first private community to offer world-class Healthspan/Lifespan resources through its Grand Teton Institute (GTI). This dedicated non-profit private research institute will build an advanced medical clinic, and conference/education center will be similar in intention to clinics such as:
