The New Status Game: Longevity

I ran into an investor friend who was summering in California. He ordered a glass of Santa Barbara pinot and told me: “I didn’t drink for a year. Then on New Year’s I woke up and realized how boring my life had become. So I had a few drinks that day, and suddenly life had color again.”

When I asked why he quit in the first place, the answer was simple: better sleep, fewer distractions, full immersion in work.

He’s the type who goes all in, which is part of what makes him world-class. So when he discovered longevity, he didn’t dabble. He installed a hyperbaric chamber, bought an infrared sauna, and swapped happy hours for tennis matches.

A year later, he’d landed on a middle ground. Still disciplined, but now sipping a couple of glasses of wine. Nothing extreme. And he seemed lighter, even happier.

Listening to him explain his new regimen, I realized how far we’d drifted from our twenties. Back then it was shots of top-shelf tequila. Now it’s top-shelf supplements and IV shots of NAD+.

I love it. Except am baffled why someone would turn to alcohol to spice up their life instead of psychedelics.

There is so much scam and pseudoscience in these longevity treatments geared towards the wealthy. IV NAD+ is a great example. It’s a waste of money but because it’s IV and expensive it gives people the impression they are getting some exceptional treatment. I wouldn’t trust any place that offers IV vitamins. That’s a major red flag.
