In this fiery and brutally honest episode of BS Free MD, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh take aim at the billion-dollar longevity industry. They dissect the hype around anti-aging books and wellness fads—from Outlive by Peter Attia to the extreme regimens of tech millionaires like Brian Johnson—and ask: Is it all just a marketing scam? Tim rants about the absurdity of titles like Young Forever and How Not to Age, while May reflects on the emotional toll of chronic health issues that make those promises feel out of reach. They argue that true wellness isn't about chasing immortality, but about optimizing your lifestyle to enjoy what you love for as long as you can. Along the way, they call out: Biohacking cults Techno-paganism Cold plunge fads (yes, they predict you'll see them at garage sales soon) The spiritual emptiness of trying to live forever Instead, they offer a refreshingly grounded take: move your body, sleep well, eat less junk, nurture your relationships, and do the fun stuff that lights you up. That’s real “healthspan.” GET SOCIAL WITH US! 🎧 Subscribe to BS Free MD for unfiltered insights on medicine, wellness, and everything in between. 💬 Got thoughts or questions?
