The faith aspect is interesting. Not saying there's no room in life for faith, but I would want to know what the various chemicals were doing to me. You would need a team of scientists and technicians to objectively measure that stuff.

A few of them do (Dave Palumbo was/is arguably the best among the "chemists" out there, guys who researched their own gear), but most are consuming so much - the taking of drugs is part of the culture, probably the main part for many - that they can't bother to think too much about it. Amazing stuff, amazing lifestyle.

This was fascinating. I'm familiar with both influencers. I recall Bostin being brazen about drugs, and Jerry making "be cautious with caffeine" videos. I had no idea they had fed connections.

Bostin needed a kidney replacement, and died of a heart attack in the gym. Jerry died in his sleep alone in a hotel or apartment.

Anyway I really enjoyed this content. I happen to be on a 98 mile bicycle ride in the plains.

Certainly a far healthier way to spend your time, though it’s certainly fascinating to envision the oddball lifestyles these folks lead. A world of muscle, smoke, and mirrors.

It’s a willful death march while they take fish oil and money to reduce internal damage.
