Preventative Brain Health & Salivary Biomarkers with Neuroscientist Dr. Lavinia Alberi Auber | Episode 259

EPISODE SUMMARY

What if your saliva could predict your brain health, stress resilience, and even your future risk of dementia?

In this episode, neuroscientist and biotech entrepreneur Dr. Lavinia Alberi reveals how the future of healthcare is shifting from reactive medicine to real-time precision diagnostics — and why so many ambitious entrepreneurs are unknowingly damaging their cognitive performance in the pursuit of success.

We explore the hidden neurological cost of hustle culture, the science of cognitive resilience, and how to build a million-dollar life without sacrificing your brain, body, or relationships.

EPISODE NOTES

Dr. Lavinia Alberi is a neuroscientist and biotech entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience decoding the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and dementia. Building on a distinguished academic career — including leadership roles at Johns Hopkins University, Heidelberg University, University of Fribourg, and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) — she has translated deep scientific insights into innovations advancing precision health, preventive medicine, and therapeutic strategies.

As founder and CEO of multiple biotech ventures, including VitalizeDx, Dr. Alberi focuses on salivary biometrics and fluid diagnostics as accessible, non-invasive tools to transform brain health, performance, and disease prevention. Her mission is to leverage cutting-edge science into actionable solutions for athletes, patients, and society at large by strengthening:

Cognitive resilience and brain health
Muscular reserve and physical performance
Immune and metabolic potency

Dr. Alberi has raised and managed multimillion-euro research projects, contributed to more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, and holds several patents in precision diagnostics and performance monitoring. In parallel, she serves on scientific and industry boards, including the Alzheimer’s Pathobiome Initiative, 5IronmenBeatAlzheimer’s, and Chronic Infection Foundation, while actively advocating for democratizing access to precision health.

Her vision is to help build a future without sporadic dementia by uniting biotechnology, performance science, and preventive strategies into scalable, high-impact innovations.
