Yet, many people spend thousands on supplements, wearables, and biohacking gadgets, while ignoring the most powerful factor for longevity: purpose and connection.
I’ve spent decades in the supplement industry, formulating cutting-edge compounds for performance, longevity, and cognition. But if I’m being honest…
Some of the “top biohackers”, the ones tracking every molecule in their body, don’t even look healthy.
Meanwhile in Blue Zones, where people routinely live past 100, you’ll find centenarians drinking wine, smoking cigars, and never measuring their ketones.
So, what’s their secret? They have deep relationships, a strong sense of purpose, and real connection. To their community. To their loved ones. To something greater than themselves.
The science backs this up:
– Purpose reduces mortality risk and lowers inflammation, protecting against cognitive decline.
– Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of health and longevity. Studies show loneliness is as harmful as obesity or smoking.
– People in the longest-living communities don’t biohack. They belong. They have close friendships, communal traditions, and a reason to get out of bed every morning.
So before you spend thousands on the next “life-extending” supplement, ask yourself:
Do you have deep relationships? Do you have a purpose that excites you?
Because the greatest biohack isn’t in a bottle. It’s in the way you live.
What’s one thing that gives your life meaning?
