on longevity rather than anti-aging. Haven’t you heard? Anti-aging is so passé! Instead of being concerned with how to make your visage wrinkle-free, focus on living … longer! Those in the know are using biohacking, genetic screenings, and peptide stacking to optimize their lifespans. You can scan your whole body, à la Prenuvo, to detect disease and test your blood for biomarkers tied to inflammation and hormone health—for less than the price of a full face of filler!
