Show Notes
Dr Olli Sovijärvi is a medical doctor and biohacker who’s spent 13 years researching how to actually reverse ageing. He breaks down why your NAD levels matter, why the basics (grounding, sunlight, movement) always win, and why living in a megacity is fighting biology itself.
We also cover why overtracking your data can make you neurotic, the hormetic dose response curve for sun exposure, and why the culture of constant productivity in winter is the opposite of what your body needs.

Dean Henry returns for a conversation on all things bioregulators and breaks down why they're a different category of peptides altogether.
Dr Darren Candow has published over 1000 peer-reviewed studies on creatine, and he's found something surprising: the optimal dose depends entirely on what you're trying to achieve, and it's probably not what you've been taking.
Dr Jeremy London is a cardiovascular surgeon who breaks down why blood vessel health matters infinitely more than your heart rate, the ecosystem most cardiologists ignore, and why extreme endurance training and steroids create the exact same cardiac damage. Find out what you can actually change starting tomorrow and why VO2 max isn't the only number worth tracking.
Nathan Carvalho calls himself a human optimisation architect because most people are getting the sequence wrong. He spends weeks connecting the dots between your gut doctor, thyroid doctor, trainer, and nutritionist - people who don't talk to each other but should.
Latt Mansor has a PhD in physiology from Oxford studying metabolic flexibility, and he discovered something uncomfortable about himself: he was skinny fat at 26% body fat and nothing he did worked until he did the opposite.
