If you care about longevity, mitochondria, cardiovascular health, or feeling sharper every day, this episode gives you a clear look at the breakthrough technology that could reshape how supplements are made. Host Dave Asprey talks with Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences, about a new way to produce plant compounds at industrial scale without ever growing the plant. Their Botanical Synthesis platform creates highly pure, clinically validated molecules that support blood flow, brain function, metabolic health, and cellular energy with remarkable consistency and little to no environmental waste.

Ilan brings more than two decades of experience in global biotech and consumer health, and under his leadership BioHarvest has grown its flagship product VINIA into one of the fastest growing plant-based supplements in North America. He explains how the company uses plant cell biology and AI guided cultivation to deliver resveratrol, polyphenols, and other high value compounds with superior bioavailability, purity, and measurable clinical effects on arterial dilation, driven by increasing nitric oxide and resulting in improving physical energy, mental alertness and reducing oxidative stress
You will learn:
• Why traditional extraction wastes most of the plant and creates inconsistent supplement quality
• How Botanical Synthesis produces highly bioavailable polyphenols without insecticides, herbacides, fungicides, solvents, or worrying about heavy metal levels.
• Why VINIA increases arterial dilation, improves blood flow, and supports healthy nitric oxide levels
• How reducing ET1 strengthens vascular health in ways typical nitric oxide supplements cannot
• Why better blood flow supports brain performance, mental alertness, and daily physical energy
• What clinical studies show about resveratrol absorption, bioavailability, and 12 hour activity in the bloodstream
• How piceid resveratrol crosses the blood brain barrier to support cognitive function
• Why BioHarvest is developing olive cell compounds like verbascoside for liver fat reduction and cognitive aging
• How future saffron cell technology may influence mood, stress, and cognitive health
• Why this approach offers major advantages for longevity, anti-aging strategies, and high-performance biology

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
