Stephanie Misanik, MS, CNS, LDN
Stephanie Misanik is Clinical Director at Nava Health and a licensed nutritionist (MS, CNS, LDN) with over 10 years in hormones, cardio metabolic health, and root-cause, personalized longevity medicine. Her work starts with one belief: people deserve to understand their bodies and get care that works.
At Nava, she leads research and development on the clinic's protocols and partners with the medical team to turn evidence into real-world care. That means reading the studies, pressure testing what holds up, and building it into something a patient can use to live a longer, healthier life.
On Longevity Unfiltered, she takes what is happening in the research and explains what it means for the listener's body. Too many people get dismissed or treated for symptoms instead of root causes. Her goal is simple: connect people to the right information and a clinical team that knows what to do with it.

About the Show
Longevity Unfiltered is hosted by Zach Dancel, COO of Nava Health, and Stephanie Misanik, Clinical Director at Nava Health. Zach & Stephanie anchor every episode, working through one topic in longevity medicine and turning the research into something you can actually use. Guests are hand-selected from distinguished experts and accomplished leaders whose track record backs up what they share
- Hormone Optimization: why normal and optimal are never the same number
- Lab Literacy: what a real workup checks that a standard physical never does
- Aging Myths: testing the claims everyone repeats against the actual evidence
- Physical Fundamentals: sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress, and gut health as one connected system
This is personalized longevity medicine, built on evidence instead of trends.
