The Kris Gethin Podcast
Bryan Johnson's recent autoimmune diagnosis has sparked an important conversation throughout the biohacking community. In this episode, Kris Gethin explores what this moment means—not as a criticism of Bryan's dedication, but as an opportunity to ask bigger questions about health, longevity, and the limits of optimization. Kris discusses the difference between collecting health data and creating true health, why modern lifestyles often disconnect us from our biological foundations, and how factors like sunlight, movement, grounding, nutrition, and resilience may matter more than endlessly...

Biohacking has become the new status symbol. Everyone wants the chamber, the wearable, the peptide, the IV, the stem cells, the red light, and the expensive recovery tool. But there is a problem most people do not want to admit: the body may not respond to the expensive stuff if the foundation underneath it is weak. In this episode, I’m talking about the part of biohacking that does not look impressive online but changes how well everything else works. The part people skip before they spend thousands trying to fix their energy, sleep, recovery, hormones, body composition, inflammation,...

Discover the science behind Tesamorelin, a research peptide targeting visceral fat and promoting health span. Kris Gethin breaks down its mechanisms, research findings, and implications for fat distribution and longevity. Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone release hormone (GHRH), stimulating the pituitary to release endogenous growth hormone rather than supplying synthetic GH. It primarily targets deep visceral fat, especially around organs, instead of just superficial subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is linked to metabolic diseases, inflammation, insulin resistance, and...

Most people think they know what they’re eating because they read the label. Grass-fed. Organic. High protein. Product of the USA. Low calorie. Clean ingredients. But that label is the end of the story, not the beginning. The beginning is the soil. The animal. The feed. The farm. The chemicals. The confinement. The way the food was raised, processed, mixed, marketed, and sold before it ever reached your plate. And that’s where a lot of people are getting fooled. In this episode of The Kris Gethin Podcast, I sit down with Will Harris, fourth-generation farmer and owner of White Oak...
