HOLOLIFE DINNER - VIP EXPERIENCE

Coupon Code TATEKI

What if your dinner could do more than just satisfy your hunger? What if it could upgrade your biology?

In my world of professional fighting and biohacking, every single thing I put into my body is a strategic choice. Fuel is information. It can either build you up or break you down. For years, "fine dining" has been associated with rich, heavy foods that, while delicious, often leave you feeling sluggish and inflamed.

We asked a different question: What if we could merge culinary artistry with cellular science? What if a world-class meal could also be a peak performance tool?

This is the vision behind the HOLOLIFE Dinner, our exclusive VIP experience. It’s where we prove that optimization doesn’t mean deprivation. To bring this vision to life, we collaborate with a true master, a culinary wizard who speaks the language of both flavor and function: Chef Sami Tallberg.

The Alchemist in the Kitchen: Chef Sami Tallberg

As Teemu Arina puts it, "Who needs a Michelin star when you can have a mitochondria-optimizing star?" Sami isn't just a chef; he's a pioneer who has turned foraging into a fine art. For over a decade, he has been the genius behind the Upgraded Dinners at the Biohacker Summit and Hololife Summit.

While many top chefs focus on technique and presentation, Sami goes deeper. He engineers edible experiences that make your cells dance. He’s the only chef I know who can make a salad feel like a nootropic stack and turn a multi-course dinner into a performance-enhancing ritual. He doesn’t just cook; he transforms ancient foraging wisdom into modern biohacking.

From Forest to Fork: A Functional Feast

The HOLOLIFE Dinner isn't just about what's on the plate; it's about the intention and intelligence behind every ingredient. This year, our guests didn’t just eat the meal—they helped create it. In hands-on sessions, we learned to make nutrient-dense sauces and dressings, turning food preparation itself into an act of biohacking. Under the guidance of experts like Dr. Olli Sovijärvi and Jaakko Halmetoja, we crafted our own sea buckthorn vinaigrette and a stem-cell-stimulating, plant-based hollandaise infused with peptides and macadamia.

This collaborative energy flowed directly to the table in a menu designed to upgrade our biology from the inside out:

Wild Salmon & Nettle Pesto: We began with wild salmon, a clean source of Omega-3s, paired with fermented beets and kimchi to nourish the gut microbiome. The dish was finished with a vibrant nettle pesto—made with one of the most nutrient-dense plants on earth—and a creamy macadamia and peptide sauce.
Reindeer Bone Broth: A soul-warming, collagen-rich broth that heals the gut lining and supports joint health.

Grilled Tenderloin of Elk: A lean, powerful source of protein, served with a star anise hollandaise and a wild herb salad that brought the forest directly to our plates.
Biohacker's Dessert: We ended not with a sugar bomb, but with antioxidant-rich dark chocolate, wild cranberries, and astaxanthin, accompanied by a "Forest Decoction X" of medicinal mushrooms and tonic herbs.

This is what we mean by "functional food." It’s a symphony of tastes, textures, and aromas that also happens to be rewiring your metabolism for the better. As Teemu says, it’s a form of "functional witchcraft."

The Ultimate Biohack: Connection and Legacy

Beyond the incredible food, the HOLOLIFE Dinner is about connection. It’s an opportunity for leaders, innovators, and wellness pioneers from around the world to gather, share ideas, and forge meaningful relationships.

This year, our conversations went deep, exploring the idea of "self-transcendence"—building something that lasts beyond our own lifetimes. In our hyper-connected but often isolated world, the simple act of breaking bread together becomes a powerful biohack. Sharing a meal stimulates the vagus nerve, lowers stress, and builds the kind of social resilience that is just as vital as physical resilience. It reminds us that our individual efforts are part of a larger movement to elevate human potential.

The HOLOLIFE Dinner is our answer to the question of what modern dining should be. It’s not just a meal; it’s a statement. It proves that a life of health and high performance can—and should—be filled with pleasure, connection, and extraordinary experiences.
