As a teenager Chris Mirabile developed a "humble appreciation of life" that turned into a life-long dedication to biohacking and self-experimentation. He survived a brain tumor at the age of 16 - an experience that piqued his interest in longevity research and eventually to the launch of NOVOS, a nutraceutical company that targets the biological causes of aging to increase longevity. An appreciation of science and peer-reviewed research has seen Chris emerge as a leading voice in the pursuit of healthy aging and longevity.
