Good morning. It’s August 20th, and Americans are officially consuming a record low amount of alcohol. Blackouts these days mean a red-light therapy nap after a fiber binge (which sounds kinda relaxing, doesn’t it?)

The rundown for this week:

  • 💃🏾 Why creatine should be universally taken by women in midlife

  • 💪🏽 Man Cereal is unveiled

  • 💉 RAADfest 2025 turns into a health scare

When Longevity Fails: Festival Peptides Spark Health Scare

Two women went to a Las Vegas festival promising the secrets of “living forever.”

Instead, they left on ventilators.

The event was RAADfest (short for Revolution Against Aging and Death) a gathering where anti-aging gurus, biohackers, and curious attendees trade ideas and therapies on how to beat mortality.

At one vendor booth, California physician Kent Holtorf offered injections of peptides, lab-made chains of amino acids marketed as everything from hormone balancers to age-reversal tools.

Here’s the kicker…

His pop-up operation wasn’t licensed in Nevada, and soon after getting jabbed, two women suffered catastrophic reactions and ended up hospitalized.

Peptides have exploded in popularity in the wellness world, but unlike FDA-approved drugs, they’re often compounded in private pharmacies with limited oversight.

Safety varies widely depending on how they’re manufactured and administered.

Some doctors swear by them, others call them risky experiments.

Oh and here’s where the story gets even wonkier…

Holtorf then ran the incident through an AI tool, which produced a 57-page report declaring it “impossible” the peptides caused the hospitalizations. Still, he hasn’t offered an alternative explanation, and critics say AI printouts are no substitute for rigorous science or proper regulation.

RAADfest bills itself as a frontier space for radical life-extension, but this scare underscores the very real dangers of unregulated medical interventions.

Here’s a pro tip; don’t be the guinea pig for somebody else’s experiment.

And for the love of g*d, take care of your body by doing your research before you inject or swallow anything from a guru selling you their latest stash.

Got Milk? Man Cereal Arrives This Fall

Move over Wheaties, there’s a new breakfast flex in town.

“Man Cereal,” the soon-to-launch bowl of hyper-masculinity, promises to do more than just soak in milk. Fortified with protein and laced with creatine, it’s designed to turn your morning routine into a pre-workout session.

No word yet on whether it comes with a free shaker bottle or a gym membership, but the marketing practically screams, “If your cereal doesn’t help you deadlift, is it even breakfast?”

Why stop at creatine?

Should we expect Whey-Os, or Testosterone Toast Crunch next?

At the end of the day, consumers will vote with their wallet and we're excited to see how this one pans out.

THIS is what you should be focusing on.

Modest lifestyle changes = big results.

These days, there’s too much focus on supplements, whacky biohacks, and over-the-top regimenes that hardly work for the average person.

We’re straying too far from the basics.

But the good thing is, just modest changes (increased social activity, minor changes in diet) can lead to profound long-term effects.
