I was tired, the day was long, and I simply postponed the analysis until the next day.
So I put the last six tubes in the fridge and went home.

The next morning, they looked VERY different.
That was the moment I knew I had to understand what had happened.
Sometimes, the interesting part of science is simply paying attention. 🧬

David Sinclair is a Harvard geneticist who has spent 30 years arguing that aging itself, not just the diseases it causes, is what medicine should be treating. 

At this year's Super Human Summit in Stockholm, he laid out where that work now stands, and it's some of the most talked-about and most debated science in the field.

His core idea is that we age less because our bodies wear out and more because our cells lose "epigenetic information," the instructions that tell each cell what to be. 

In a 2023 Cell paper, his lab scrambled those instructions in mice without changing their DNA, and the mice simply aged. 

In a 2020 Nature paper, his team reset old cells using three reprogramming genes and restored vision in blind mice, later repeating it in monkeys.

This year, Life Biosciences, a company he co-founded, injected a version of that therapy into a human eye for the first time, in a glaucoma trial.

It's a genuine milestone, but the study is testing safety rather than whether it reverses anything, so it shows the approach can be tried in people, not that it works yet.

This was one of the standout talks from the Super Human Summit 2026. 

@superhuman.network and BCG built The Longevity Review 2026, the first real breakdown of what the research supports and what's still just hype.

Dr. Vali on stage at the Superhuman Summit with Dr. Babak Amen and Prof. Gordan Lauc.
Five takeaways. Peptides. Biological age. The fact vs the fiction.
Stop being a pick and mix patient. Your wearable data is not the full picture. NAD will not help most people. A podcast peptide stack is paint thrown at a wall. And the worst damage starts in your brain.

Reishi has been used for centuries as a “longevity mushroom,” and now researchers are testing what it may do for sleep.

In an 8-week randomized trial presented at SLEEP 2026, adults with chronic insomnia took either reishi mushroom extract or melatonin each night. 

The reishi group saw a bigger drop in insomnia severity scores, suggesting stronger improvement than the melatonin group. 

That is important because sleep is one of the body’s main repair windows, influencing recovery, immune function, metabolism, mood, and healthy aging. 

The extract used in the study was standardized for triterpenes, compounds researchers believe may play a role in sleep-related pathways. 

No serious adverse events were reported, and most participants completed the trial. 

More research is still needed, but this adds an interesting new layer to the conversation around natural sleep support.

Another year around the sun.

We don’t grow by adding years. We grow by what the years ask of us — and just how we’re willing to answer.

Our bodies ask the hardest questions. For me, a brain injury in my twenties, competing and winning some of the hardest endurance events in the world, Long Covid decades later. Times when conventional medicine — my own training, my own profession — had no answers for me. What it did give me was curiosity: the refusal to accept “we don’t know” as the end of the sentence and the drive to keep looking — into the nervous system, into what the body is saying when tests say nothing.

That curiosity became BioHarmony®️ — a methodology born of my medical practice, my psychiatry training and a life spent learning what truly creates care, belonging and nervous system capacity. It kept evolving this year. From the Six Senses Ibiza RoseBar days to summit stages, workshops, the Mallorca retreats. The arc grew to honour what the nervous system actually is: dynamic, weather-like, never fixed. A safe container for emotional expression, growth, community and real connection.

And this year taught me again what I keep having to relearn: you cannot hack biology. You cannot force it. The very drives that make us feel switched on — the striving, the building, the always-more — are the same drives that, left unchecked, quietly write pathology into the body. The “on” feeling is seductive. Over time, it costs.

So yes, my life is full. But I carve out time for what refuels me — for self-care, for joy, for late nights dancing on the rocks in Ibiza. Because that isn’t indulgence. That’s the biology of joyspan: joy as physiology, not reward.

My daughter finishes primary school this month. A whole era closing as I write this. I’ve tried to be there for the small moments, not just the milestones. Some I caught. Some I missed. That’s the truth of a working mother.

Friendships deepened. And some business relationships I entered with grace and an open heart didn’t hold. It stung. It also taught me where my yes belongs.
