Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford School of Medicine. His laboratory studies neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. Dr. Huberman received his Ph.D. in neuroscience from UC Davis and completed his postdoctoral training at Stanford, where he has been a faculty member since 2011. He is the creator and host of the Huberman Lab podcast, which has become one of the most popular science podcasts globally, translating complex neuroscience into actionable protocols for everyday life. His work spans from basic research on how the brain changes in response to experience to practical tools for enhancing sleep, managing stress, and optimizing physical and cognitive performance. Dr. Huberman has received numerous awards including the McKnight Foundation Neuroscience Scholar Award and the Pew Charitable Trust Biomedical Scholar Award. He is particularly known for his science-based protocols on light exposure, breathing techniques, and behavioral tools that leverage neuroplasticity. His ability to make neuroscience accessible while maintaining scientific rigor has revolutionized how millions approach their daily health routines.

Bryan Johnson is a serial entrepreneur and biohacker who sold his payment processing company Braintree to PayPal for $800 million in 2013. He subsequently founded Kernel, a brain-computer interface company, before dedicating his life and fortune to Project Blueprint - an ambitious experiment to reverse his biological age. Johnson invests over $2 million annually in his anti-aging protocol, which includes a team of 30+ doctors and health experts monitoring his progress. His daily regimen involves consuming exactly 1,977 calories, taking over 100 supplements, exercising for 90 minutes, and following precise sleep protocols. Every aspect of his life is measured and optimized, from his 70+ daily pills to his exact bedtime of 8:30 PM. His biomarkers show remarkable improvements: he claims to have the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old, despite being in his mid-40s. Johnson shares all his data, protocols, and even his daily meals publicly through Blueprint, making his extreme approach accessible to anyone interested in replication. His philosophy of 'Don't Die' and radical transparency has sparked global discussions about the limits of human optimization and the future of longevity interventions.

David Sinclair, Ph.D., A.O. is a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard. He is also a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney and co-founder of several biotechnology companies. Dr. Sinclair obtained his Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales and completed postdoctoral research at MIT. His groundbreaking research focuses on the epigenetic mechanisms of aging and the development of interventions to slow, stop, or reverse aging. He is best known for his work on sirtuins, NAD+ metabolism, and resveratrol. His laboratory was first to identify a role for NAD+ biosynthesis in regulation of lifespan and first to show that raising NAD+ levels can treat age-related diseases. Dr. Sinclair has published over 200 scientific papers, holds over 50 patents, and has received numerous awards including the Australian Medical Research Medal and TIME's list of the '100 most influential people in the world.' His book 'Lifespan' presents his Information Theory of Aging and practical strategies for extending healthspan. He continues to push the boundaries of aging research while maintaining an active public presence to educate about longevity science.
