Mark Hyman wants you to believe he’s biologically 39 years old. The 66-year-old functional medicine guru and twelve-time New York Times bestselling author has built an empire on the promise that the right combination of supplements, lifestyle changes, and cutting-edge treatments can literally reverse aging. “We can reprogram our genes back to a younger you,” he states in one way or another in countless podcasts. “[At] 63 I could use certain transcription factors and turn my biological clock back to 25. Make my wrinkles go away, my hair turns black, my joints get healthier.”But earlier this year, Hyman revealed something that threatens to undermine his entire brand: he almost died.Not from old age. Not from some unavoidable disease. From sepsis—a severe infection that spread through his spine after what he vaguely described as “a pretty common injection” for back pain.And he’s not alone. Jordan Peterson, the pop psychologist who promotes anti-wokeness as a key to mental well-being, was also hospitalized for sepsis as well. Peterson remains largely out of the public eye, and it’s unclear whether he’ll ever fully return.Here’s where it gets interesting: both men share the same doctor—Adeel Khan, a regenerative medicine physician who runs a string of stem cell clinics out of Mexico, Dubai, and Japan. Khan’s patient roster reads like a who’s who of celebrity wellness: the Kardashians, Tony Robbins, and yes, both Hyman and Peterson.Over the past two months, I’ve been investigating a story that these three highly public medical professionals have taken great pains to keep under wraps. It’s a story about how two of the most prominent wellness influencers in the world promoted Khan’s dubious stem cell therapies, then nearly died while under his care. And even after their close calls, they’ve remained largely silent—because admitting what happened would undermine the very grift pipelines that fund their lifestyles.However, since their legal team has already been in touch, I would like to offer you a necessary disclaimer.Important disclaimer: Everything I present here is my opinion based on investigative work using publicly available information, interviews, and independent analysis. I haven’t directly inspected private medical records, so my conclusions are circumstantial. References to “scams,” “fraud,” or “lies” should not be taken as definitive findings of fact or legal conclusions. No statement should be interpreted as a categorical declaration that any person has violated civil or criminal law unless a court has so ruled. I encourage you to examine the evidence and reach your own conclusions.With that said, let me tell you what I found.

The Epstein files are a spotlight into the twisted life of the world’s most notorious sex trafficker and the billionaires and oligarchs that took advantage of young women and children. Even the redacted trove of more than 3 million documents by the Department of Justice proves that his ring of abuse went much farther than just to satisfy his sadism, but that the things that went on in his island were vitally connected to a pool of a dark money empire that exists in parallel to the ordinary economy. But what happens when we look beyond the official government releases and cross reference information in the Epstein files with another investigative journalism goldmine: a 2017 trove of leaked banking documents called “The Paradise Papers”. Read together, these two archives of material tell an even darker story about the real importance of Jeffrey Epstein. Which is why I’ve brought Craig Unger onto the show today. He’s an investigative journalist, former editor of the Boston Magazine and a multi-new york times best selling author who, like the rest of the independent journalists trying to survive the media apocalypse, now writes on Substack. A few weeks ago he broke the Paradise Papers - Epstein connection in a piece titled “Jeffrey Epstein’s Really Big Short.” Craig Unger's Substack: https://craigunger.substack.comEpstein's Really Big Short: https://craigunger.substack.com/p/jeffrey-epsteins-really-big-shortGet Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

This is my final report on Wim Hof—the charismatic ice-guru who exposed me to the magic of breathwork and cold exposure. Since I first met Hof in 2013 he has become increasingly erratic and even dangerous. Today a new edition of my New York Times bestselling book What Doesn’t Kill Us is officially for sale and I’d love you to pick up a copy or download the audiobook on Audible. (Incidentally, if you already have a copy from Audible you can just re-download the book to access the new files for free).I’m setting the record straight about Hof because of the prominent endorsements I gave him over the course of a decade. I still believe in the transformative power of various environmental exposure and breathwork regimens, it’s just that Wim can no longer be the face of the movement. Over the last two years I’ve collected archival footage of Hof, interviewed dozens of people whose family members’ died following Wim’s instructions and endured near-constant abuse from his cult-like devotees who would rather call me “Judas” in the pantheon of Hof than look at the evidence with clear eyes. The video I’m putting out today collects the most important pieces of Hof’s story that ultimately made me change my mind about him.Official Book Page: https://www.scottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usAudible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B01N5NNZF8/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-077506&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_077506_rh_usAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/What-Doesnt-Kill-Environmental-Conditioning/dp/1635652413/?tag=Foxtopus-20Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

You’ve heard of Project 2025: the manifesto that has become the de facto guiding light for the second Trump administration. Its twisted Christian-nationalist agenda has brought us a wave of ICE raids across America, tax cuts for billionaire, gutted climate policies and using the FBI to prosecute and harass political opponents. Project 2025 was written by the conservative DC think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which recently released a new vision for women’s role in society called “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years” that aims to severely curtail women’s rights, including the right to divorce and maybe even vote. To talk about it today I’ve brought on the New York Times opinion columnist and author of the book “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood” Jessica Grose onto the show today.Jess Grose on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jessgrosewrites/Her website: https://jessicagrose.com/Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/join

When thousands of ICE agents descended on Minneapolis and began kidnapping people off the streets, the residents didn’t just stand by and let it all happen. Ordinary citizens like you and me spontaneously organized on Signal chats and began tracking ICE’s movements through they city. They warned their most vulnerable neighbors with whistles and car alarms and video taped arrests across the city. Friends of mine began delivering food to people too scared to leave their houses and carpooled their children to school. All of this happened in the face of ever-increasing violence from a fascist-anti-democratic state with seemingly unlimited resources to spend on harassing ordinary Americans. On today’s show I wanted to reflect on the miraculous organization of an effective citizen resistance in Minneapolis and offer hope to people in other cities who have not yet had ICE land on their doorstep. The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have supercharged the active resistance movement in across America. The lessons of Minneapolis will spread across the country. In this video I’m going to discuss how you can get involved and join the resistance more actively than just posting angry messages on social media. My guest today is Jack Jones, better known as Quadzilla. He’s an ex-army infantryman and wild land firefighter who has been organizing information about the decline of America’s democratic order and fall into totalitarianism. When I first started following him a year ago my thoughts were–oh man, this guy is extreme. He was telling Americans to arm themselves and get ready for occupation. I think that Jack was something of an oracle who saw what was happening before anyone wanted to believe he was right. Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/
