The Charlatan’s Guide to Longevity

Millions of people now trust the profit-driven braindroppings of random podcast bros more than the advice of medical professionals or decades of peer-reviewed research. I almost can’t imagine being this gullible. Everyone wants to believe there’s some “secret” out there that some meathead just discovered. Meanwhile, these scammers are getting rich off of supplement sales, allowing them, ironically enough, to afford healthcare that’s out of reach for an enormous percentage of Americans. This dynamic is not unlike the excellent medical coverage enjoyed by members of the grotesquely anti-science Trump administration.
