## Resource

Jordan and Nate open with a genuinely wild AI experiment: Nate ran his genetic data through an AI tool and got a full cognition, energy, and hormone report back. From there they dive deep into psychedelic therapy, celebrating RFK Jr.'s new HHS VA partnership researching psychedelics for veterans while flagging real concerns. Big Pharma is already circling, with Eli Lilly dropping billions to patent DMT based compounds, and the guys unpack a tragic Miami retreat case that shows why sketchy wellness grifters are just as dangerous as pharma control. They also roast a Wired writer who tried to "debunk" RFK's high protein advice by eating nothing but protein powders and pop tarts, dig into the mysterious diarrhea causing parasite showing up in lettuce, and cover a UK lab's synthetic fiber designed to hijack your GLP1 hormones. Rapid fire news on daylight saving time, baby formula ingredients, and a scary new screen time study rounds things out.
