Gethin rejects high-dose NAD IVs in favor of smaller oral or subcutaneous doses spread over time. He argues that the body can assimilate only so much at once and raises a potential cancer concern for people with genetic or family risk, though the episode does not substantiate the medical claim.

Gethin prefers an oral multi-ingredient product for convenience
He compares a large IV dose to eating a week's protein at once
He recommends smaller doses distributed over time
He cautions against high-dose NAD for people with possible cancer predisposition

“So, I'm not into NAD IVs, and I'll tell you why. I prefer like a trickle dose.”

“Not only that, we know that NAD can feed cancer. Can not not will. It can like if you've got a genetic disposition for cancer…”

Why Gethin Still Calls Rapamycin Fringe

When asked about risk and the lack of data, Gethin says he does not believe rapamycin is dangerous but concedes that it remains fringe. He contrasts it with gene therapy, which he views as more invasive, while the exchange leaves the evidence question unresolved.

The host challenges the strength of the available data
Gethin acknowledges that rapamycin is fringe
He considers gene therapy more invasive
The exchange does not establish clinical safety

“Yeah. So, rapamyosin, taking five uh grams of that”
Kris Gethin · 05:00

“I don't I don't think it can be dangerous but yeah it is fringe there's there's no doubt about it you know I know he…”

The Biohacks Gethin Uses or Considers for Biological Age

Gethin runs through epitalon, metformin, rapamyosin and hyperbaric oxygen as interventions associated with longevity or recovery. The discussion is a personal account rather than a settled clinical protocol, and the host explicitly raises the limited data around rapamyosin.

Gethin says he uses epitalon twice a year
He describes metformin and dihydroberberine as alternatives of different strength
He says he takes rapamyosin weekly
He points to hyperbaric oxygen for recovery and healing

“So, epitalon, the peptide epialon, some of your listeners may have heard of that. Taking that a couple of times a year, um, will will…”
Kris Gethin · 04:30

“Um, you know, the one thing that I'd say I've been able to reduce my biological age every year since 2014.”

Inside Gethin's EBO2 Blood-Filtration Experience

Gethin describes undergoing EBO2 in London, with an IV in each arm and a roughly 90-minute filtration process. He says the procedure separates plasma from blood and claims it removes several forms of toxicity, while presenting the account as his personal experience rather than verified clinical guidance.

The procedure uses an IV in each arm
Gethin says it takes about 90 minutes
He describes plasma separation and filtration
He reports being able to see material collected during the procedure

“I've done it in London a couple of times where completely cleans your blood. It'll separate your plasma from the blood. So, it'll get rid…”

“got an IV in your left arm, IV in your right arm. It takes about 90 minutes, I believe, to completely filter your entire body,…”

What a 10-Day Silent Retreat Did to Gethin's Stress

Gethin describes a ten-day Vipassana retreat with long meditation days, no phone, no reading and no eye contact. He says the difficulty peaked as past stresses and future worries surfaced, but that staying led him toward a calmer, less judgmental state.

The retreat removed conversation, reading, phones and eye contact
Meditation ran from morning until evening with limited breaks
Gethin says many participants leave around day five
He describes equanimity and a parasympathetic state as the eventual result

“So, I did a 10day vipasa silent retreat where you are, you know, you can't make eye”

The Sensory Reset After Ten Days Without Distraction

After leaving the retreat, Gethin says he noticed clouds, mountains, wind and grass that had faded into the background before. Returning to artificial light, music and crowds felt jarring, illustrating how thoroughly the silent environment had reset his attention.

Ordinary landscape details became newly noticeable
Music and people at a gas station felt intense
The return to normal stimulation took time
The story highlights how habitual distraction can narrow attention

What Gethin Felt After EBO2—and What It Cost

Gethin reports less brain fog, clearer thinking and better sleep after EBO2. He estimates a cost around $1,500 to $1,800 and suggests frequency should depend on lifestyle and environmental exposure, while acknowledging these are his impressions and recommendations.

He reports less brain fog and better sleep quality
He likens the mental effect to clearing cobwebs
He estimates the procedure at roughly $1,500 to $1,800
He suggests cleaner lifestyles may need it far less often

“That's what I was going to say. less brain fog and I was able to sleep better. The quality of my sleep increased.”
Kris Gethin · 13:30

“I believe it cost about $1,500. So, I'd say probably be”

Measure Biological Age Yearly Instead of Guessing

Gethin recommends measuring biological age and repeating the measurement annually to see whether it is moving down. He mentions telomeres, methylation and glycans as possible measurement approaches, without comparing their validity or specifying one preferred test.

Establish a measured baseline
Repeat the measurement every year
Track direction over time rather than relying on subjective feelings
The episode does not evaluate the reliability of the named tests

“you know and of course you can measure your biological age with telomeres”
Kris Gethin · 07:30

“what I would suggest is that you measure it and then measure it every year to ensure that you're able to bring it down”

Sleep and Equanimity Outweighed Gethin's Longevity Hacks

Despite listing several expensive or experimental interventions, Gethin identifies sleep and a calmer response to life as his biggest perceived drivers of biological-age improvement. He links the change to correcting severe sleep deprivation and learning to lower stress through equanimity.

Gethin previously slept only a few hours per night
He considers sleep the biggest factor among his interventions
He pairs sleep with a less judgmental and reactive mindset
He attributes the calmer state to lower stress

“And I honestly”
Kris Gethin · 06:00

“believe the biggest thing out of all these things that I've just given a shotgun approach to has been sleep because I wasn't sleeping before.…”
