For much of the past two centuries, the world of physical culture, perhaps shortened to the world of “fitness,” has served as a battleground for vicious criminals. A seemingly all-or-nothing debate About the right path to health. Doctors and nutritionists have discussed all-vegetable, all-grain, all-meat, and numerous other diets. Trainers took to the barricades touting the benefits of strength training, jogging, swimming, yoga, and various combinations thereof. One thing is always the same with him. That is, each leader has his own champions, and these champions are inspired to follow his one true path to health.
But now, observers can witness a truly unprecedented fitness debate unfolding. Brian Johnson — A pale, muscular 46-year-old tech mogul and biohacker who claims to spend $2 million a year on various procedures and chemicals to rejuvenate everything. his “baby face” even more A fearless, blood-sucking adolescent penis — he found himself in the middle of an argument with someone on the other side of the spectrum. known as 'Sol BraIn X, the man is very much an online fitness “physical spiritualist, nature lover, and aesthetic curator” who promotes a back-to-nature philosophy. Now a shameful liver king.
Of the two, at least for one “team” or another, science or nature fans, the question is quite simple. Which method leads to excellent health? Fans of “Team Science” are quick to point out that: Proven method of our ancestors — If we can all agree on what that is. — has been around for thousands of years but failed to prevent death, while Johnson is trying something new.
Sol Bra advocates the opposite, a return to qualified nature. With a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of the natural environment and elements of ancestral lifestyles, Sol Buller's approach nevertheless incorporates many modern supplements that he sells on his site. , reflecting a growing disillusionment with modern technology-driven society. This perspective criticizes over-reliance on artificial enhancements and advocates for a more balanced lifestyle, but it is thoughtful in the areas where Sol Buller believes supplements can make a difference. It's deeply divided.
Like many other things in the world of guru-driven fitness, as described by author Randy Roach:muscle, smoke, mirrors” There is a kayfabe element to this debate, which naturally plays out in public on social media. Johnson has received or has taken every treatment described in the pseudoscientific books, and the amount of money he spent on these treatments is an important part of his personal mythology. On the other hand, Sol Bra boast How to drink beetroot and pomegranate juice Because even though he, like a more traditional influencer, maintains a well-stocked storefront selling his work, such bodily fluids are similar to animal blood. . supplement, Bookand clothes.
A summit featuring these two will certainly excite the very online fitness stance, but the impact increasingly worsening health condition of people in developed democracies It is likely to be negligible. One of the enduring contradictions of the hyper-online fitness space is that we've never seen so many ripped bodies, impressive gym lifts, and competing forms of expertise thrown around. Despite the fact that there has never been an “unwashed public,'' there has never been an “unwashed public.'' carried more fat mass Or at least as far as recorded evidence is concerned. produced few testosterone. The 1% (and definitely the 0.0001%, or whatever class Mr. Johnson would place himself in) have many effective tools in their toolkit – steroids, growth hormone, and weight loss, such as: Contains drugs Ozempic and Munharo — that should be the bare minimum for those seeking an optimized state.
The extreme lifestyle measures taken by people like Johnson and Sol Buller are not realistic for most people. The behind-the-scenes realities of such a lifestyle are often hidden. Where until Liver King's reality was from his self-presentation And the hype on social media does not reflect the everyday health needs of the general population. A simple physical exercise that is rarely discussed in these rare biohacking discussions, and even more rarely practiced, will actually always be the most effective approach for most people.
