Why Are Hackers Microdosing “Sex Drugs” Now? : 1425

Most doctors treat the average patient. But you are not average, and this episode gives you the precision medicine blueprint to treat yourself like the individual you are, using multi-omic testing, biohacking technology, and longevity science to optimize every layer of your biology.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, a Board-Certified Family Physician, author of The Longevity Equation, and President and Founder of the American Board of Precision Medicine. He serves as Adjunct Professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine and CEO of the Institute for Human Optimization. Dr. Bajnath is certified through the Institute for Functional Medicine, board certified in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, and is one of the few clinicians actively applying genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenetics together in a real clinical practice.

Together, Dave and Dr. Bajnath break down why population-based medicine fails individuals, how functional medicine and precision science combine to unlock real human performance, and why your mitochondria sit at the foundation of every longevity strategy worth pursuing. They dig into how AI can help you decode your own inflammasome biology, why biohackers are using “sex drugs” to extend longevity, why vagal nerve stimulation directly suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome, and which biomarkers like MMP9 and homocysteine mainstream medicine keeps ignoring. They also cover peptides, supplements, the dark side of metformin, microdosing for anti-aging, and why biohacking works best when it's personalized and precise.

This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, smarter not harder health strategies, metabolism, sleep optimization, brain optimization, functional medicine, and taking full control of their biology.

You'll Learn:

• Why precision medicine outperforms population-based health strategies for human performance
• How to layer genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics into one complete biological picture
• Which longevity biomarkers your doctor is likely ignoring, including MMP9 and homocysteine
• How vagal nerve stimulation suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome and drives anti-aging benefits
• The real story on metformin, peptides, and which supplements actually move the needle
• How AI can help you understand your own biology and act on it faster
• Why biohacking precision beats random stacking every time
