You wanna know the secret to long life and good health - well, we don't really have it lol. But keeping up physical exercise, eating well and healthy, not having stress at work or daily life, avoiding or reducing alcohol and smoking, attending a physical once in a while and getting your teeth checked, all of that would do more than the weird biohacking this guy is doing. And so little of it is reachable by people and depends on society rather than any individual effort.
How the fuck can you council a single mom working a few jobs to try and reduce the stress in their lives or to give their kids healthy food when they can only afford the subsidized crap we produce as a society, or tell someone to get a check up that costs them so much money and if the doctor finds something they might not even be able to afford to treat anyway. There is no individual pull up your boot straps to getting people into good health, this is a societal effort and the people in charge of production and distributing goods (not any of us) have decided you're not important enough to spend the effort getting you healthy.
