    Valentines Day in San Francisco, with Valentina

    @baelentina_ and I cohosted a Valentines Day SF rager with @zocomputer last night.

    Gym Bro vs Bio Bro: Peptide Edition, with Max Marchione

    I wouldn't get used to polished MOTS but I figured what better way to announce a @superpower partnership than to bring in some cameras and microphones and have a super serious debate on peptides and looksmaxxing with @maxmarchione. Tune in as we go back and forth on peptide risks and benefits, why the FDA is dragging the chain and get Max's thoughts on the new looksmaxxing craze taking over the timeline.
