In this show, I share more thoughts on my new, recent longevity mantra: perform, recover, perform, recover.
These thoughts were inspired by an interaction I had with my friend Michael Kummer—host of The Primal Shift podcast—who recently wrote a newsletter article about the longevity practices of the increasingly prominent biohacker Bryan Johnson.
While I appreciate a lot of things that Bryan does in service to the health community by trying all these cutting-edge strategies and then reporting back on his results, I do have some thoughts on the tendency many people have these days to drift a little too far towards high-tech anti-aging methods—particularly when it comes to taking a flawed approach to a biohacking strategy.
Just look at Bryan Johnon’s decision to eat fewer calories based on the assumption that calorie restriction does indeed help with healthy aging….When it comes to biohacking, are some extreme methods too extreme? And could we be making some huge mistakes in the process? Find out in this episode!
