As a serial entrepreneur, brain tumor survivor, and the youngest winner of NYU Stern’s business plan competition, Chris Mirabile is known for beating the odds. Throughout his career, Chris was pursuing a lifelong passion – health and wellness – with an emphasis on avoiding disease (spurred by his encounter with a brain tumor), extending his healthy lifespan, and maximizing his performance and wellbeing. As a self-proclaimed “citizen scientist,” Chris dug into scientific research on longevity and experimented with supplements, diet, exercise, and lifestyle hacks to find the secret to living a long, healthy life. As Chris shares on his blog SlowMyAge.com, and according to independently verified third-party epigenetic, metabolomic, telomere, andphysiological tests, he was able to reduce his biological age by 37%, his pace of aging by 31%, and his telomere length is the equivalent of a 7-year-old’s. The outputs were the best results the lab had ever seen, according to the lab’s founder. Now approaching a chronological age of 40, Chris’ biology is by most accounts that of someone in his mid-twenties – a particularly noteworthy accomplishment for someone who endured the physiological and psychological stresses of a brain tumor. In following his life-long passion and after more than a decade of research and experimentation, Chris founded NOVOS, the first nutraceutical company that targets the 12 biological causes of aging to increase longevity. NOVOS includes a Scientific Advisory Board of six of the world’s top biologists and geneticists who study aging from Harvard, MIT, The Salk Institute, and more. With NOVOS, Chris created much more than a supplement company— he built the first-of-its-kind consumer biotech platform that leverages the latest science to help people take control of their healthspans and lifespans. NOVOS is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

After 15 years as a top product development consultant, I launched nu:titty (get the pun, nudity, and new titties?) to create post-surgery bras that women want to wear, helping them feel feel comfortable and confident in their new bodies.Before starting nu:titty I worked with brands including Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch, and giants like Macy’s,Walmart and Target. But, after undergoing my own prophylactic mastectomy last summer, I realized firsthand just how limited options for this community are. For too long, the message to patients has been to be happy their cancer is cured and stop worrying about what they look like. But I believe women deserve more than this.I mean, no one really NEEDS a cute bra after surgery. But, that doesn't mean it won't make you feel good.nu:titty is more than just bras - it's a movement to help women feel complete after their breast cancer journey.

So, she expanded Proov to help women like her confidently manage menopause and get back to feeling more like themselves.

While currently on sabbatical from private practice, Ayla owns and operates Boston Functional Nutrition and co-founded the Women's Health Nutrition Academy in 2018. A letter from FullWell founder, Ayla Barmmer, MS, RD, LDNI founded FullWell as an adjunct to my clinical practice at Boston Functional Nutrition because I wanted to make the evidence-based, effective, and high-quality supplement we created for our clients available to the rest of the world.After almost two decades working on thousands of complex fertility cases, I’ve learned that no two are alike. In fact, fertility is arguably one of the most common yet perplexing health issues. The vast majority of people receive the most frustrating diagnosis of all: “unexplained infertility.” Popular medical interventions have notoriously poor success rates and often yield tremendous physical and emotional stress, not the mention the financial and relational impact.I synthesized decades of findings, looking at the needs that have emerged from the most straightforward to the most complex cases. My approach looks at the whole person, in the context of their environments, peeling back the layers until we grasp root issues. Over time, I've observed as many external and systemic causes of fertility issues as internal and specific concerns. For this reason, I believe in addressing our pursuit of fertility health as both an individual and collective need, carefully supporting a wide variety of inputs to build the optimal foundation for conception, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery.I'm thrilled that FullWell has garnered the enthusiastic endorsement of so many healthcare practitioners and physicians, but even more so in experiencing firsthand the satisfaction of our users. Every person who selects our prenatal formula is choosing to invest in their own health, and in the fundamental health of their baby. As both a mom and a clinician—I’m deeply honored to support them.Ayla BarmmerFounder, FullWell

Finding Balance, Beauty, and Purpose: How Cheree Ashley is Redefining Wellness Through Osier and Skincare.As a prominent figure in the substance rehabilitation industry and 13 years in recovery, I’ve spent the last decade building recovery programs that have helped thousands reclaim their lives. But something I often saw in my clients—and experienced myself—was the deep emotional toll that addiction takes on one’s physical appearance and self-worth. From rosacea, puffiness, and dehydration to the effects of skin picking and nutritional neglect, the journey to recovery can also be a journey back to self-love. That’s why I created Osier—a skincare and wellness brand rooted in balance, healing, and new beginnings.Osier has such a beautiful meaning as it stands for the willow tree and Willow tree means new beginnings.The philosophy behind Osier is simple: to be a safe, welcoming space where women can reconnect with themselves—mind, body, and spirit. For many coming out of addiction, basic self-care can feel overwhelming or foreign. I wanted to strip back the intimidation and offer something gentle, nurturing, and effective. That’s how our first two products were born: a moisturizer and a 3% vitamin C serum—a duo designed to hydrate, brighten, and restore skin without harsh ingredients.I chose to work with Korean manufacturers because of their reputation for clean, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare. I personally tested these products for a year on my own very sensitive skin. I wanted something accessible, something that worked for beginners or those just stepping into skincare for the first time—and these products deliver just that. The feedback has been incredible: clients tell us they see and feel the difference almost immediately.But Osier is more than just skincare. It’s a wellness movement. In a world where wellness often gets reduced to yoga classes and meditation apps—which are wonderful, but not always approachable—Osier aims to be something deeper. We’re here to remind women who have spent years putting themselves last that what they eat, how they move, how much water they drink, and what they put on their skin all matter. Wellness is not just a lifestyle—it’s a full-circle healing process: mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.Starting this brand wasn’t easy. I don’t come from money. I launched my first rehab center at 24 years old with no loans, no investors, just vision and a heart for helping others. It felt impossible. But I believed in it, and I built a multi-location recovery program on the Central Coast through passion, perseverance, and community. Now, I’m entering the beauty and wellness industry—a space I’ve loved from afar for years. I’m not an aesthetician. I’m not a beauty insider. I often feel like a small fish in a vast ocean. But I’ve been here before: an underdog with a dream.Osier stands for more than beauty. It stands for openness, support, and awareness. It’s a place where people can ask questions about recovery and wellness without shame. It’s about rebuilding confidence from the outside in. It’s about connection.One of the elements I’m most excited to showcase through Osier is our giving back initiative—a part of the brand that gives back directly to individuals battling substance abuse and mental health challenges. This is my way of keeping the heart of what I do at the center of everything, making sure that even as we expand into skincare and wellness products, we never lose the core mission: to help people heal.In the future, I see Osier growing into a full-fledged wellness brand—offering clean supplements, expanding our skincare line, and building a supportive community for women looking to find balance and peace. I want to continue creating products I believe in, inspired by my own recovery journey, and the thousands of others I’ve been honored to walk alongside.At the end of the day, Osier is about new beginnings—for your skin, your body, and your life.

What began with 50 chickens in a Southern California backyard in 2012 has grown into a mission to bring America's cleanest meat to dinner tables across the country. As a licensed physician assistant and father of four, Rob McDaniel witnessed firsthand at the hospitals he worked in how food choices could either heal or harm, inspiring him to create a better way to feed our families. Guided by the simple truth that "you are what you eat, eats," and inspired by regenerative farming pioneers, we set out to offer truly clean meats raised the way nature intended – not just another greenwashed label making empty promises. From our grass-fed and grass-finished cattle to our 100% corn and soy-free chicken, every product reflects our unwavering commitment to nutrient density and ethical farming practices. Today, Primal Pastures continues to set the gold standard for wholesome, pasture-raised meats, proving that when you respect nature's wisdom and prioritize true quality over quick profits, everyone benefits: the animals, the land, and the families who gather around dinner tables across America. Rob continues to be a practicing Physicians Assistant in Murrieta, CA.

I am and have been a practicing psychoanalyst for the past 50 years. I am a member and training analyst at the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute as well as a member of the American and International Psychoanalytic Associations. At the American, I am Chair of the ongoing discussion group Infant Mental Life and the Dream in Psychoanalysis. My training included eight years of a classical analysis with Dr. Carl Van der Heide and then twelve years of psychoanalysis with Dr. Wilfred Bion. This website presents a new paradigm for psychoanalysis, the result of my psychoanalytic research over these many years. I offer them for your reading, and commentary.When Freud discovered the unconscious, everything seemed possible. The new field he built around his discovery, psychoanalysis, offered mankind a dizzying possibility: to be free from the forces that constrain him, free from forces that compel him to pursue the wrong paths even as his conscious mind condemns those paths. Yet to simply find a name for these unconscious forces – a name like “repetition compulsion,” for example – did not diminish or eradicate them. So as the decades passed there was a problem, borne out in the analyst’s office: psychoanalysis did not provide the results we had hoped for. It was the failure of Freud’s paradigm to actually heal us that led to the great proliferation of theories we have now, each taking a piece of the great master’s overarching theory in order to form a nucleus of its own.Freud believed that drugs would one day supersede his theoretical structure by curing mental and emotional diseases themselves. But no pill can make an interpretation to a human being in suffering; only another human being, one who is knowledgeable enough, can do that. Still, Freud knew that one day his elaborate structure would be left behind the same way that all great discoveries are abandoned when more encompassing, truer visions may be seen, visions made possible by the work of those who have gone before. No such vision has yet emerged in psychoanalysis, despite our hope and longing.Today, there is a crisis in the field. Psychoanalytic societies and institutes are impoverished in numbers, in belief, and in enthusiasm. Fewer and fewer people seek out the help that analysts can offer. Entrance into the societies is down; all over the world institutes lament the lack of new applicants entering into psychoanalytic training. This can only mean one thing: that the common wisdom of the young agrees that what we have to offer does not make them catch fire – eager to enlist with a passion in an arduous journey that once might have promised the keys to the secrets of the heart and mind, and the dreams that plague us.I have given the problem of psychoanalysis a great deal of thought over these years. Now, I wish to present my own theory and solution to the problem. The thesis I am putting forward here has been tested for years and years, and so far has not been found wanting. I trust you will consider it with due care. I call this work holistic psychoanalysis for it includes the mind, body, and the spiritual. Indeed, I am convinced that the study of dreams consecutively and deeply leads to spiritual knowledge.So to pause for a moment, this is who we are, this is why we are here – to share the knowledge that I have accumulated in the past fifty years for your thinking and consideration.

Bill Shufelt is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Athletic Brewing Company, the largest and most decorated non-alcoholic brewery in America. As an outdoor enthusiast, trail runner, and busy modern adult, Bill realized that alcohol was holding him back from achieving all of his goals, so he left it behind for good in 2013. However, he still loved socializing with friends and family and pairing great brews with delicious meals. When Bill stopped drinking, he was surprised to discover that nobody had taken the time to develop a line of full-flavored, non-alcoholic beers for the 60% of Americans who drink less than one time per week. So, Bill set out to change that by creating a company focused on crafting delicious adult non-alcoholic beverages that didn't compromise on taste or quality. In 2017, Bill left a successful career at one of the world's largest hedge funds to begin building the first U.S. brewery and taproom dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic beer, despite skepticism from industry insiders. Today, Athletic Brewing is the #1 non-alcoholic beer brand in America, with over 19% market share.
