Our Scientific Board, Phoenix Experiment, Partnerships and more!

Hi Friends,

April was a big one for us — both in science and in community momentum.

We’re now doubling our subscribers every month, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for being here.

Whether you’re quietly reading or actively engaging, your presence fuels everything we’re building.

🧠 Dr. Yadong Huang joins our Scientific Board

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Yadong Huang to our Scientific Advisory Board. He’s a globally recognized leader in ApoE and Alzheimer’s research, known for pioneering work on ApoE4-targeted therapies at the Gladstone Institutes and UCSF. His presence adds major firepower to our mission.

He’ll be directly advising us on the Phoenix Experiment—our most ambitious project to date.

Speaking of which..

🔬 Progress on The Phoenix Experiment

This is the world’s first continuous, community-driven, N-of-Many trial network for ApoE4 carriers—designed to discover, personalize, and optimize your best possible protocol to beat the odds and defeat Alzheimer’s.

Instead of waiting years for traditional clinical trials, we’re creating a system that learns in real-time what’s best for each individual.

Your wearables, biomarkers, scans and lifestyle data get matched with others like you (same genes, environment, habits, preferences), so we can detect what really works—faster, smarter, and without the noise.

Structured. Personalized. Peer-powered. And built with you, not just for you.
