We're doomed we're saved #30

Show notes

2025: For millions of people, the new year starts with the self-promise to improve, to quit smoking, alcohol, to get in shape, to stay young and attractive, to basically create and become a new me. While traditionally new year vows meant to relinquish, today there seem to be many helpers in the form of biohacking. Beginning with diets and not ending with technical devices. While there are real shortcuts and fake abbreviations to reach some of those goals, there´s also traditional ways. In "New year old me – no biohacks needed", Louise von Stechow and Andreas Horchler try to distinguish what´s worth trying and what to avoid.
