Who I Am
I am a certified natural health practitioner with a background in engineering and earth sciences -- two disciplines that share more with health science than most people expect. Both require you to understand systems under stress: how they hold, where they fail, and what they need to recover. That's the frame I bring to everything.
I hold dual master's degrees and am a PhD candidate in Earth Sciences. My practice focuses on functional and natural health, working with individuals on the precise application of nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle intervention. Precision is the operative word. General recommendations don't interest me much. What works, for whom, at what dose, in what context -- that's the question worth asking.
My Role in This Formula
I identified dihydromyricetin as the primary candidate ingredient and provided the scientific framework the formula was built on. Mark Scott refined it through more than 400 pre-commercial trials. The result is US Application 18/698,010, of which I am a named co-inventor alongside Mark and David Weinkauf. Patent applications use clinical terminology appropriate for USPTO filings; the consumer marketing language for Hangovr180® follows separate FDA regulations for dietary supplements under DSHEA -- which is why what you read on the label sounds different from what you read in the patent.
The formula has three ingredients. The selection wasn't arbitrary. DHM at 1,500mg addresses GABA-A receptor modulation and supports the enzymatic pathways responsible for alcohol and aldehyde metabolism. S-acetyl glutathione at 75mg delivers bioavailable glutathione directly -- bypassing the synthesis pathway that alcohol specifically impairs. Fulvic acid at 150mg at 90% purity improves cellular membrane permeability and enhances DHM bioavailability. Each ingredient earns its place by mechanism, not by convention.
How I Think About This Product
A hangover is not a mystery. It is the body running an acute episode of oxidative stress, mitochondrial disruption, GSH depletion, GABA dysregulation, and neuroinflammation -- simultaneously, under time pressure. The morning after is not just unpleasant. It is a measurable acceleration of cellular damage.
That framing matters because it tells you what the formula actually is. Not a hangover remedy. A metabolic support product for a specific, documentable, recurring class of biological disruption -- one that happens to be most visible and most universally recognized in its acute form the morning after drinking.
DHM is, in my view, among the most versatile natural-health compounds in the recent healthspan literature. The published literature demonstrates its activity across multiple disease-category contexts. SAG and fulvic acid remain the two primary co-administration compounds for DHM across applications -- for precisely the same reasons they belong in this formula.
The science pages on this site reflect my current understanding of the evidence. Where the evidence is strong I say so. Where the evidence is suggestive but not conclusive I say taht too. The distinction matters.
What I Do Outside This Company
I maintain an active natural health practice, working with clients on individualized supplementation and health protocols. I take that work seriously. I don't recommend things I haven't examined carefully, and I don't examine things carelessly.
