This week I'm joined by Dr Karan Rajan, NHS surgeon turned bestselling author and Chief of Science at Throne Science, for a conversation about optimisation culture: wearables, peptides, Bryan Johnson, and why more data isn't always better data. What we explore together: •His own health scare at 28, when a routine blood test uncovered fatty liver disease from a low-fibre diet •Why "the illusion of health" might be the real cost of the wearable and wellness boom •Bryan Johnson, colonoscopies, and why the most measured man in history still missed the basics •The peptides debate: survivorship bias, zero human trial data, and what to actually ask before you try one •A hospice nurse's deathbed regrets, and what they reveal about how we're really spending our time •Creatine's kidney false alarm, and the simple blood test that solved it •The "fever dream" that became Throne Science, and the mission to catch colon cancer early Love, Sarah Ann 💛 My book 'Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthy-Shouldnt-Be-This-Hard-ebook/dp/B0G1DHNRV5 This episode is sponsored by: POLSEN HEALTH: The compassionate health tracker.
