Joy Kong, MD reviews gene therapy advances like plasmid-based follistatin delivery, which Brian Johnson and some celebrities are already using for muscle growth and stamina. She cautions against hype, emphasizing what science can and cannot actually do right now.
I wish we have all had magic wands and we can cure everybody, but maybe at one point we would. It's very important that we don't give people false hopes. What we can and what we cannot bring about needs to be spelled out to the public and the patient so we know where we're at. So science is advancing at an incredible rate. It has become very, very exciting, even just in the area of gene therapy, using plasmid to start producing certain proteins like follistatin. Right. So Brian Johnson went over, and some celebrities also, and other people have gotten gene therapy, inserting a gene that expresses follistatin, which promotes muscle growth and help with body recomposition and stamina and maybe even mental cognitive improvement. So, yes. So things are changing rapidly, and it's very exciting.
