Berkeley Life Launches Medical Advisory Board, Uniting Leading Voices in Hormone Health, Sexual Wellness, Nervous System Regulation, and Microbiome Science
New board of functional and integrative medicine leaders will help guide Berkeley Life's Nitric Oxide science and support the brand's mission to put healthy blood flow at the heart of everyday health.
New York City, NY — August 28, 2026 — Berkeley Life, a science-backed nutraceutical company built on the biological foundation of Nitric Oxide (NO), today announced the launch of its Medical Advisory Board, a group of respected clinicians who will advise the brand's science and serve as ambassadors for its mission to make Nitric Oxide a household name in health and active aging.
The board brings together practitioners from across functional and integrative medicine, hormone health, sexual wellness, nervous system regulation, and microbiome science, disciplines that reflect the full picture of how the body ages, adapts, and thrives. Members will work directly with Berkeley Life's science team to help translate emerging NO research into education and resources for both healthcare providers and consumers, while helping guide the brand's ongoing clinical and content strategy.
"At Berkeley Life, we've always believed that Nitric Oxide is one of the most underappreciated foundations of wellbeing, and that belief only gets stronger with the right people validating and expanding it. This board brings together clinicians who are already trusted voices in their fields, and who share our commitment to giving people real, science-backed tools to stay active, energized, and confident as they age. We're honored to have them helping shape where Berkeley Life goes next," said Nils Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of Berkeley Life.
"Nitric Oxide sits at the intersection of so many of the body's core systems: vascular, hormonal, neurological, microbial, and this board reflects that. Each member brings a different clinical lens, but they share a mechanism-first, evidence-based approach that mirrors how we approach our own research. Their input will help us keep pushing the science forward responsibly and ensure make sure what we're building is genuinely useful in a clinical setting," said Cathy Eason, Chief Science Officer of Berkeley Life.
