Your Host & Lead Investigator
Janice Cunningham, MPH
Vancouver, Canada
​I created ASL with Sibel to be a trusted, information portal. Our priority is sharing key takeaways from our investigations for those who don't have the time, training or interest for doing the geeky deep dives that I can't resist. A second priority is providing you with links to our most trusted go-to resources informing these key takeaways. I believe it is best to get the detail direct from the experts!
​​​​
What follows are my background, beliefs, and experiences that most shape my analysis and biases.​​​​
​
CREDENTIALS & EXPERIENCE
-
Master of Public Health (MPH) health communications (influencing behaviors for social good).
-
Early champion for Digital Health innovation - mobile Health (mHealth) and telemedicine.
-
Instructor training in Chen Taiji and Qi Gong; practitioner of same and other mindfulness practices.
​​
BELIEFS
-
Brain health is the foundation for quality of life: physical, mental and spiritual.
-
Integrating Modern Science with Ancient Wisdom provides useful, more holistic insights.
-
We're all an N-of-1 (Study of 1). What works for me may not work for you.
​
RED FLAG TRIGGERS
The words... "Just have a little willpower" and "That's normal aging. Just accept it."
​​​
WHY BRAIN-FIRST PRIORITY
REASON 1: My father dying from Alzheimer's complications triggered my deep dive into the latest research on dementia. The evidence was clear: lifestyle habits are better than any drug available to help prevent or slow it down!
​
REASON 2: BrainSmart habits overlapped with virtually all behaviors recommended for physical and emotional wellbeing.
​​​​
REASON 3: These deep dives also led to the latest insights for building habits that stick by tapping into the power of our brain. ​We really can change at any age! ​​​​​​​
I hope you'll join the conversation as we continue to investigate.
​​
Be safe. Be well.

Advisor & Chief Skeptic
Sibel Tunali
London, England
Greetings from London!
​
We all know how easy it is to believe what we want to believe, so my primary role on the ASL Project is designated skeptic.
I look for the potential alternatives to the conclusions we come to that feel so obvious at first glance. I also look at the doability test, knowing the practical challenges of what it means to juggle life as a mother, business executive, and more recently, cancer survivor working to regain her energy and vitality!
​
A bit more about me:
-
I apply my years as an engineer turned executive in the telecom sector to advise and mentor food, wellness, and technology startups.
-
Being the mother of my twins has shaped my life priorities.
-
I see the world through a new lens after multiple years of cancer treatment.
​
Please join me in this role of advisor and skeptic through our contact form and occasional survey.
This is a living project with an ever evolving process; your perspectives will help make the ASL Project more useful for everyone!
​
Wishing you well,
Sibel
