Nik sits down with nutritional scientist Chris Masterjohn, PhD, founder of Mitome, for a conversation about how to live longer and healthier by thinking about your body the way a bitcoiner thinks about the economy. Chris makes the case that your cells operate as a market, that drugs distort that market the same way central banks distort the economy, and that a food-first, pharma-last approach respects the body's own price discovery. Mitochondria, nutrition, exercise, and why the best interventions are almost always the natural ones.
