#479 Dr Mike Israetel - Drugs To Build Muscle and Lose Fat Without Needing to Work Out
Lift Free And Diet Hard with Andrew CoatesShow Notes
Dr Mike Israetel returns to enlighten you on what’s coming in the future of health, fitness, and aesthetics. Mike’s new book, The Aesthetics Revolution, is available everywhere June 23rd, so grab a copy.
Mike shares what we may see happen in the relatively near future, including:
Will we have access to drugs that build muscle without working out (and we’re not talking about PEDs) Roughly when could we see approval and access to these drugs How will AI expand our capacity to research and develop new pharmaceuticals What should we expect from the next generation of fat loss drugs How powerful will they be and will they have fewer potential side effects Will the muscle-building drugs be an effective combo with the weight loss drugs To what degree will people be able to create "designer physiques" Will people stop working out if they can get the aesthetic and even health benefits of these drugs Will people be and stay as happy as they think if they gain access to this degree of physique change Is life extension a potential outcome of this revolution in pharmaceuticals Will de-aging be possible And much more
