Nothing very new here, but its interesting to see how pop culture news sites cover different segments of the longevity industry. Lots of “thinly supported” activities being sold to people who are wasting a lot of money.
The longevity business is booming and for high society, the quest for eternal life has become an expensive hobby
Automatic doors open on to a cavernous lobby that could double as a spaceship. Reclining on white leather chairs are several young-looking men, glow-in-the dark intravenous drips attached to their arms. In one corner sits a man wearing what looks like a scuba mask attached to a computer. Machines beep. Doctors in lab coats murmur.
This is Hum2n in Chelsea, one of London’s first biohacking centres, which offers cutting-edge treatments in the booming longevity business. That scuba mask is actually a ReOxy device that mimics low oxygen conditions to stimulate lung and heart performance as well as souping up your metabolism. At the helm is Dr Mohammed Enayat, a supreme biohacker himself who has a staff of 28 and plans to open more clinics in London and Saudi Arabia.
The 40-year-old doctor practises what he preaches, travelling the globe trying out treatments himself before giving them to patients. He has twice-monthly IV drips of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which targets ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell’s store of energy. He also has regular injections of Cerebrolysin, a mixture of peptides derived from pig brains, for his brain health, and epitalon to stimulate his glands to support stem-cell production. He detoxes using intravenous ozone. And he travels to California for stem-cell-derived exosome infusions. ‘I’m doing it for short-, medium- and long-term vitality,’ he says, ‘for energy, mood, and to prevent disease progression – in short, health span.’

I remember when people were afraid to eat beef because brain matter might be mixed in (prions). Of all the things to someday inject into my body, pig brains will be last on my list.
