Here's a harsh truth that might set off your internal defenses: Longevity protocols might add more years to your life, but they can't, by their very nature, give you more life. That might sound like a contradiction, but it's the truth. The dirty little secret behind the entire world of biohacking and longevity science is based on a lie. The biohacking protocols, supplement stacks, and longevity practices are a symptom that only deepen the disease. In fact, they only exist to distract you from the root of the problem. Fear is a cruel mistress. And you're terrified of your own mortality. It's natural to fear your mortality. It means you're human. But it's also what turns your fear into a cunning beast that dupes you into wasting the precious moments you have today for something that longevity cannot shield you from. You could have the most dialed in longevity protocols on the planet and you'll still die. And until you face the fear of your own mortality, you're just stretching the time before you lay on your deathbed filled to the gills with regrets. Longevity can't give you more years of a well-lived life if it's only purpose is to distract you from your mortality.
