The Natural Health Industry's Dirty Secret

The natural health space was supposed to be the alternative to the mainstream. But lately, it's been looking more like a copy of it. Same one-size-fits-all promises, just dressed up nicer and sold for more.
Dr. Mark Young sits down with Dylan Gemelli, one of the few voices in the space who's willing to say it out loud. What follows is a conversation about bad actors, real fundamentals, and the role faith plays in lasting health.
Dylan's built a following of 1.5 million on Instagram, runs a top-ranked health and fitness podcast, and has spent years in bodybuilding, neuroscience, and peptides. He's also shared stages with names like Dave Asprey and Ben Greenfield.
The two get into why most people are biohacking backwards, the trust problem in wellness, and what actually moves the needle once you strip away the noise. There's a lot of ground to cover, so the conversation got split in two. This is the first part, and the second one is on the way.
