Longevity by Design: Ranking IVF Embryos Based on Lifespan Chances
A new service from Nucleus Genomics lets IVF parents score and rank embryos on the risk of over 900 diseases—like Alzheimer’s, heart issues, and even height or IQ traits—for $5,999. It’s called polygenic risk scoring. While it may help future kids live longer, experts worry it could lead to eugenics, stigma, or inequality. Think of it as designer babies without the paint job.
GOAT Gummies: Tom Brady's Vegan Snack Game-Changer
After retiring, NFL legend Tom Brady teamed with Gopuff to launch GOAT Gummies—organic, vegan, fruity snacks made in France with no artificial junk. Available in three flavors (Sweet Rush, Sour Burst, Tropic Fusion), they cost $4.99 per pack and are delivered in about 15 minutes. Brady says they’re his go-to “game-time snack.” It’s a bold pivot from quarterback to snack entrepreneur!
Shiftwave: High-Tech Recovery Backed by Pro Athletes & Neuroscience
Shiftwave is a recovery tool built for elite soldiers and pro athletes, now being tested in wellness centers. It uses neuroscience to reduce stress, recalibrate the nervous system, and speed up recovery—while you just lie back and relax. Think high-tech chill mode for those tough post-workout days
Taurine: Not the Anti-Aging Superhero We Hoped For
Taurine’s been a biohacker favorite for boosting lifespan—animal studies showed promise. But new research from NIH finds taurine levels don’t drop with age consistently in humans, monkeys, or mice. It’s more tied to sex and species, not aging. So, it’s not a reliable anti-aging marker. Still, it plays roles in immunity, antioxidants, and brain function. But hurry—don’t stockpile those pills yet.
