ExtraLife
My name is Justin Gurian. I live with tinnitus. After two decades in DJ booths and nightlife, a single night changed everything. Now I’m combining seven layers of experimental treatment and documenting every step publicly. If this works for me, it becomes the blueprint for 740 million people.

Research funding vs. other conditions
Tinnitus affects more people than diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s combined. Yet it receives less research funding than almost any condition of comparable prevalence. The science is promising: stem cell therapy, peptide protocols, molecular hydrogen, psychedelic-assisted treatments. But it’s scattered across journals in 9 languages, locked behind paywalls, and trapped in institutional silos. ExtraLife is connecting the dots.
Founded by Justin Gurian, who lives with tinnitus and built ExtraLife because waiting for traditional institutions was no longer an option.
The Protocol
A multi-vector approach attacking tinnitus from every angle simultaneously.
BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, Selank. Cochlear nerve repair and inflammation.
Humanin, MOTS-c, SS-31. Direct cochlear hair cell protection. Published evidence (Waldmann 2023, Cortada 2024).
MSCs and exosomes at Eminent Wellness. Peptide priming hypothesis.
H₂ inhalation crosses the blood-labyrinth barrier. Available at Eminent Wellness, Scottsdale.
640nm photobiomodulation. FDA-registered clinical trial for tinnitus (NCT05091060). 10 min daily.
Psilocybin microdosing, neurofeedback, notched sound therapy, HRV biofeedback.
Claudia AI tracks every biomarker, audiogram, and change. Pattern recognition at scale.
Research Bounties
Choose the research initiative that resonates with you. Every contribution accelerates open-source science.
Investigating the neuroprotective peptide BPC-157 for cochlear nerve repair and tinnitus reduction.
Exploring mesenchymal stem cell therapy for inner ear hair cell regeneration.
Researching psilocybin-assisted approaches to maladaptive neuroplasticity in tinnitus.
Designing multi-peptide protocols combining BPC-157, TB-500, and Selank for auditory repair.
The Intelligence Stack
How AI, experts, and community work together to accelerate discovery.
Claudia monitors 200+ research sources across 12 languages daily for tinnitus-related findings.

Breaking Barriers
A doctor in Mexico City publishes a finding in Spanish. Within minutes, a researcher in Tokyo can read it in Japanese. Upload in any language. Contribute to everyone. The language barrier, one of the oldest obstacles in science, is eliminated.
A New Model
Siloed. Paywalled. Slow. Institutional gatekeeping limits who gets to ask questions and who gets to see answers.
Open and transparent, but requires wallets, tokens, and blockchain knowledge. A barrier for most patients and researchers.
Open. Transparent. AI-powered. Fund with a credit card. Results in your language. No wallets. No tokens.
Transparency
Pick the research initiative that matters most to you — or fund the general mission.
Research is conducted through the Collective with full transparency. Every dollar tracked.
Findings published open-access — no paywalls, no corporate ownership. Science for everyone.
Every dollar tracked. Every finding published.
