In this episode with Dylan Gemelli, you'll hear one of the wildest origin stories in the health world. Dylan went from college athlete to Milan model to cocaine dealer to a 15-year prison sentence, and came out on the Fourth of July with two felonies, no job prospects, and a decision to start over. Within a year he had a million YouTube subscribers explaining compounds almost nobody was talking about yet, and today he hosts the number one health and fitness podcast in the country.
You'll also get the practical side: what SARMs really are and why he turned against steroids, what happened when a routine calcium score came back at 120 with an Lp(a) of 330, how he pushed back against the Mayo Clinic and got that number down into the 90s anyway, and what he learned about ejection fraction and chronic cardio the hard way. Dylan explains why he believes many biohackers are among the unhealthiest people out there, how stacking too many supplements and peptides creates redundancy that backfires, and which lesser-known peptides will rise in popularity.
