100NO 695: The Healthiest Man Alive Has An Autoimmune Disease

Whilst this episode comes out, we are in Sardinia running our July Longevity Experience. The locals are a very different type to the world’s “healthiest” man.  Today we explore the recent revelation that the world’s self-proclaimed healthiest man, Bryan Johnson, has autoimmune gastritis (AIG).  What does this mean for health philosophies, the role of environment versus genetics, and the dangers of a rigid approach to wellness?  Today we unpack the science, challenge long-held beliefs, and share what we think it means for the narrative of longevity.  SEPTEMBER EUROPEAN LONGEVITY EXPERIENCES ARE COMING We are in Ikaria from September 8-14 and Sardinia from September 16-22.
