I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Michael Easter. Michael is behind the TWO/PERCENT Substack where he offers “practical, accurate, and useful health, performance, and mindset information.” I’ve listened to, and read, a bunch of Michael’s content. Not only is it enjoyable but it seems, well, sensible. Our conversation was inspired by my Coming Out Against the Healthy Lifestyle post.
I hope you enjoy our conversation and maybe find another substack to follow.

* Why criticism of modern medicine is on the rise.
* How “medical reversal” highlights the need for evidence-based practices.
* The rise of longevity and why many longevity practices often lack robust evidence.
* Why personalized healthcare is essential for effective treatment.
