Andrew Huberman On Biotech Free Zones

29 segments available

Andrew Huberman joins to discuss the potential physical infrastructure of a health-first zone. The legacy medical system is built for sickness care. A startup society is built for biological optimization. We discuss the transition from patient to participant, using regulatory arbitrage to bypass the bottlenecks of the FDA. From mandating light exposure to real-time cortisol monitoring, we engineer the environment to put human biology first. If these ideas interest you, we're building startup societies at Network School. You can apply online at https://ns.com.
