Summary
Alan Graves is the CEO of Do Not Age, a UK-based longevity company, and he’s been fully immersed in the biohacking space since 2019. In that short time, he’s become a leader in supplementation and expanded his curiosities—even as far as outer space.
We talk about his preparation for an upcoming Virgin Atlantic flight to the stars, and how he plans to protect his human form in such an environment. We also touch on our dieting journeys—from veganism to all-meat and everything in between, ride the pharmaceutical industry for its ongoing role in promoting sickness in many forms, and sing the praises of Do Not Age’s innovative line of products.
From deep space to raspberries, detailed biochemistry to FDA politicization, this episode has it all—as Alan wields an informed and inquisitive perspective on all things biohacking, past, present, and future.

| 0:00.0 | If you've been listening to the human upgrade for very long, you've heard about the |
| 0:04.0 | science-backed benefits of sonnas, like sweating out heavy metals and other toxins, and |
| 0:09.7 | even a euphoric feeling you get from endorphins releasing from the heat. |

| 0:37.4 | It heats up really fast, the quickest on the market I've found. |
| 0:41.2 | I like it because it's really easy to clean, it has low EMFs, and it has the highest temperature |

| 0:50.2 | I like to use it when I'm traveling and don't have access to a full-size sauna. |
