A podcast — launching June 2026
Exploring the mental architecture of long-term human performance — where neuroscience meets lived experience.
Hosted by Alexandra Boehmer & Sophie Spitzer
The missing layer
The longevity conversation is incomplete.
We know how to train the body. We track it, optimize it, push it to perform longer. But burnout, cognitive fatigue, and loss of aliveness don't start in the body — they start in the mind, and in a nervous system under constant pressure.
Longevity isn't just about extending lifespan. It's about sustaining mental capacity, emotional bandwidth, and clarity under load. Peakspan exists to explore that missing layer: what happens before the body breaks down — inside the mind, the nervous system, and the psychological structures that shape long-term performance.
Peakspan is for people who don't want to trade health for success. For leaders, thinkers, and builders extending not just lifespan — but peakspan.
Who we talk to
Researchers advancing our understanding of the brain, nervous system regulation, and cognitive longevity.
High-achievers who have mastered sustainable performance without sacrificing their health or sense of aliveness.
People operating at the boundary of human capacity — and what they know about sustaining it long-term.
Why now
Peakspan launches in June 2026 to help define a new category — where mental fitness meets longevity science. Early guests shape the conversation and connect with an audience looking for depth, rigor, and real insight.
What we bring
Peakspan was born from lived experience. Two high-driven women shaped by pressure who learned: you can command the body to endure, but you cannot force it to sustain.
Without a regulated nervous system, longevity is an empty win.
This podcast exists to make that invisible layer visible.
Your hosts
Co-host
Started at McKinsey, then built a startup. After the loss of a close family member, her mind collapsed while her body kept going. Recovery didn't begin with optimization — but with understanding the nervous system and emotional overload.
Co-host
Defined by the type of drive that results from early childhood scars. By 25, with an MBA and a life full of credentials, she realized something essential was missing. Now a founder in mental health and longevity — helping others find meaning in their lives.
