Christopher Shade, PhD, is the founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific. He holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry but prides himself as the intuition-driven alchemist and innovator of liposomal and nano emulsion formulations. Chris is on the faculty at George Washington University and is a sought-after thought leader in the biohacking and functional medicine space. Chris is a student and practitioner of Dzogchen, a tradition of teaching in Tibetan Buddhism for over 20 years. He sees oneness as the highest expression of self with his explorations on the subject deeply rooted in the esoteric.



Mindy Pellegrino, MA, MNT, is the Director of Content Strategy and Education at Quicksilver Scientific, where she has married her personal interests and passions for mind, body and spiritual explorations with initiatives she believes in. During this time, she has worn the hats of fitness instructor, functional nutritionist, reiki master, and business owner to name a few.
