Biohack Yourself Media and Lolli Brands Entertainment Honor Dr. Daniel Pompa During a Cannes Celebration of Health News Network
CANNES, FRANCE — Health News Network (HNN) officially recognized Dr. Daniel Pompa as Founding Channel Owner No. 001 during the Biohack Yourself and “sHEALed” Cannes celebration, marking a major milestone in the launch of the expert-owned health media platform.
The recognition took place during a multi-day Cannes experience hosted by Biohack Yourself Media and Lolli Brands Entertainment, where more than 300 doctors, practitioners, wellness leaders, filmmakers, journalists, podcast hosts, and health experts gathered for screenings, interviews, media activations, networking events, and global press coverage.
The event included:
Red carpet experiences and film premieres
Global podcast pavilion recordings
Private networking events
Documentary screenings
Expert panels and Q&A sessions
Luxury afterparties
International media interviews
Behind-the-scenes production activations
At the center of the celebration was a special presentation honoring Dr. Pompa for what organizers described as a lifetime commitment to root-cause healing, cellular health education, and transformational leadership within the wellness space.
Presented in front of members of the global health community, Dr. Pompa received an official framed certificate recognizing him as the first Founding Channel Owner in HNN history.
The presentation also included a formal recognition letter from the Lolli family, Biohack Yourself Media, Lolli Brands Entertainment, and HNN leadership.
Recognition Beyond Medicine
The acknowledgment extended beyond Dr. Pompa’s professional accomplishments and focused equally on his long-standing commitment to family, leadership, and purpose-driven impact.
The recognition highlighted decades of work across:
Cellular healing
Detoxification education
Functional medicine
Root-cause health investigation
Health freedom advocacy
Practitioner training
Documentary participation
Podcasting and media education
Wellness leadership
Organizers also emphasized what they described as a defining part of Dr. Pompa’s legacy: building alongside his family rather than sacrificing family for business growth.
The presentation specifically acknowledged Dr. Pompa and his wife, Merily, for creating what organizers called a “family-centered mission rooted in unity, purpose, health, contribution, and legacy.”
The certificate itself was signed by the “Lolli Fampire®,” a term created by the Lolli family representing families building together across media, education, healing, and generational purpose.
The Vision Behind HNN’s First Founding Channel Owner
According to HNN founders Anthony Lolli and TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli, Dr. Pompa represented the type of expert the platform was designed to support from the beginning.
HNN was built around the belief that trusted experts should own their audience relationships, media infrastructure, educational content, and long-term legacy rather than relying entirely on third-party social platforms.
The organization describes traditional social media as “borrowed attention,” arguing that experts often lack full control over visibility, audience access, distribution, and platform infrastructure.
HNN was introduced as an alternative ownership-driven media model focused on long-form educational programming, independent distribution, and expert-controlled content ecosystems.
The Future of Health Media Is Expert-Owned
Health News Network is structured as a curated health-focused streaming ecosystem where qualified experts operate branded media channels within a centralized network.
Inside the platform, experts retain ownership over:
Intellectual property
Educational content
Programming
Audience relationships
Brand positioning
Media archives
Long-form content libraries
“HNN is not about giving experts another profile page. It is about giving them infrastructure, permanence, discoverability, and a true media home,” Anthony Lolli, co-founder of Biohack Yourself, Lolli Brands Entertainment, and HNN, stated during the Cannes presentation.
The company compares the structure to real estate ownership:
“HNN is the building. The expert owns the unit inside the building.”
A Curated Ecosystem, Not an Open Marketplace
The Cannes unveiling also introduced many attendees within the Biohack Yourself ecosystem to HNN’s long-term vision for premium health media distribution.
The platform combines streaming infrastructure, long-form education, podcast ecosystems, documentary distribution, audience ownership, curated discoverability, future monetization opportunities, authority positioning, and premium health media branding within a single interconnected ecosystem.
According to organizers, HNN is selectively onboarding a limited number of founding channel owners as the network expands.
“This is not an open marketplace,” said TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli, co-founder of Biohack Yourself, Lolli Brands Entertainment, and HNN. “We are building a curated ecosystem of trusted voices who have spent decades creating meaningful impact.”
The Growing Shift Toward Expert-Owned Media
The rise of owned media infrastructure represents a major shift for health experts, educators, and independent wellness voices.
For years, practitioners and creators have relied heavily on third-party social platforms to reach audiences. However, changing algorithms, platform policies, and visibility restrictions have increasingly exposed the risks of building entirely on rented digital platforms.
HNN was created to provide a long-term alternative focused on permanence, ownership, and direct audience relationships.
Rather than competing for temporary visibility, experts are building scalable media assets designed for long-term authority, education, and impact.
As HNN expands, organizers believe every credible expert strengthens the value and integrity of the ecosystem as a whole.
