Got my first shingles vaccine today (it’s a two shot course). I’m forever baffled at how the biohacking community will take huge leaps of faith on unproven therapies but don’t trust proven vaccine therapies that prevent serious disease.

How fraudster Shaman Durek, personal "shaman" to many celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow, is a "big bag of red flags" & duping people out of many thousands (probably millions). It infuriates me that Paltrow & others promote this bunk. From @sgcarney.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch8K...

One thing that longevity influencers all seem to agree on is that it’s important to have large age gaps with their chosen partners. Not biological age, mind you. Actual age.

For fifteen years biohackers-from Peter Attia to Tim Ferris and Andrew Huberman—believed that Rapamycin might be the secret to longevity. The only problem was that no one had ever run a trial on humans. Until now. . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK5h...
