Longevity, Genetics & Biohacking (feat. Chris Barnes) #646

Hello and welcome to Biohacking News: The Christmas Message 2025. Like the King's speech, but more interesting, and with fewer castles. This is my annual moment to look back at a year of upgrades, breakdowns, breakthroughs and blue urine, and gently pretend I understood all of it at the time. We also unveil our podcast interview of the year.   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BiOptimizers Sleep Breakthrough and Magnesium Breakthrough These are BIOptimizers sleep and magnesium supplements which I take every night.  I have also been using the new Magnesium Breakthrough drink - delicious way to get magnesium. I have been putting a scoop in my protein shake after a workout.  Just go to BIOptimizers.com/tony and use code TONY15 for at least 15% off (often more).
