#354: The DARK Side of Bodybuilding: Eating Disorders, Cellular Health & Peptide Power—How Dylan Gemelli Rebuilt Everything

In this episode of the Longevity Podcast, I sit down with Dylan Gemelli—a name many of you may know from the bodybuilding world and the pioneering days of biohacking. Our conversation takes a very personal turn, as Dylan bravely opens up about his early struggles with body image, bulimia, and body dysmorphia, and how these challenges set the stage for his journey into fitness, nutrition, and ultimately, cellular and mitochondrial optimization.
