Unleash Health®

At Unleash Health®, we are privileged to be surrounded by some of the most remarkable scientific minds on the planet. Today, I want to acknowledge, with deep appreciation, Dr Richard Wood, Ph.D., who has been promoted to the role of Chief Scientific Officer. Richard’s leadership has already shaped so much of our scientific philosophy, our rigor, and our sense of responsibility to the world. In this role, he will guide our health science team, our 42-member global Scientific Council, and oversee the design, development, and validation of our scientific programs as we embed wellness science into every customer journey in partenrship with the world's leading brands. As Richard said so powerfully: “A new era of wellness science is here. Where every action is grounded in evidence, every recommendation learns, and every brand becomes a partner in delivering impact at scale. This is the dawn of a scientific revolution.” Richard, thank you for your conviction, your clarity, and for choosing to scale this future with us.

We’re proud to officially welcome Professor Soomi Lee, a leading mind on stress, sleep and longevity to the Unleash Health® Scientific Council. Her pioneering research shows that stress, sleep, and happiness form a feedback loop, one that can spiral negatively under pressure or become a powerful engine for resilience when supported by the right habits. “Small, daily behaviors can either erode or enrich our quality of life. I’m excited to bring this science to life through Unleash Health®, helping people recover better, sleep smarter, and flourish more every day.” Dr. Lee’s expertise will inform a new-generation of emotionally intelligent, recovery-driven wellness programs, especially relevant for sectors like financial services and pension funds seeking to help peole thirve in life both personally and finanically, and to boost retirement outcomes.

We’re proud to officially welcome circadian biologist and skin longevity researcher Dr. Thomas Mortimer to the Unleash Health® Scientific Council. Dr. Mortimer is internationally recognized for his pioneering research on how the brain, body, and skin communicate to regulate circadian rhythms, tissue vitality, and aging, advancing a new frontier in whole-body skin health and longevity. “Skin health isn’t just surface-deep. It reflects our internal biology, our rhythms, and our resilience. I’m excited to help shape protocols that redefine what beauty and vitality can truly mean.” Dr. Mortimer’s appointment marks a major milestone in our mission to bring the next generation of science-led, behaviorally-delivered skin health solutions to life, built in partnership with trusted brands across beauty, supplements, and wellness.

SCIENCE HAS FAILED This doesn’t feel great to say, but it’s become absolutely clear to me that science has failed. Specifically, it has failed society when it comes to communication. As a nuclear physicist, this is a personal responsibility. Because if we can’t share the science with the world, what good is it? I think of some of the most compelling science-based organisations who, behind the scenes, are creating magic. Then, when it comes to telling the world… they sound like scientists. It’s hard not to. Our entire training and careers teaches us to communicate in a certain (scientific) way, and then when it comes to interacting with the wider world, we’re out of sync. It’s time to change – or, at least, to evolve. The h-index, once so fundamental, now feels two-dimensional. Like being stuck in single-player mode, when the game we really want (and need) to play is massively multiplayer. This is why we have put together the Global Scientific Council at Unleash Health®. These are the domain leaders and researchers who are working to make cutting-edge health science accessible to all. It’s time for a new measurement of scientific influence and impact, one that directly benefits people.

We’re thrilled to welcome world-leading expert in perinatal sleep science and women’s health Professor Michele Okun to the Unleash Health® Scientific Council. Professor Okun brings decades of pioneering research into the biobehavioral rhythms of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, advancing how sleep, stress, and immune signaling shape maternal and fetal health. “My mission has always been to help women navigate the biological and emotional transitions of motherhood with greater knowledge, confidence, and compassion. I’m thrilled to bring my research to life in ways that support women everywhere.” Professor Okun’s appointment marks a major step forward in elevating women’s health as a core pillar of our platform, in partnership with trusted brands across maternal care, supplements, skincare, and more.

Today, we’re proud to mark a major milestone in our mission to bring the science of wellness and longevity to every human on Earth: the appointment of Dr. Richard Wood, Ph.D. as Chair of the Unleash Health® Scientific Council. “Preventative health doesn’t suffer from a lack of evidence, rather it suffers from a lack of scalable undistorted dissemination. The siloed clinical approach is not setup to deliver outcomes in the prevention economy. Real impact demands deep collaboration across the brightest minds and disciplines. That belief is at the heart of our mission, our approach, and the work of this Council.” - Dr Richard Wood Full announcement in comments.

Create the world you want to live in. An excerpt from my conversation this morning with Dr. Keira Barr, MD, dermatologist and leading expert on the mind-skin axis. It perfectly captured why: Unleash Health® is the mission. Leading scientists are joining us. Trusted brands are backing us. Health is changing. So is marketing. And science is paving the way.
