He is a professor at Harvard - I imagine he wouldn't get to that role if the science didn't have some merit.

Where did he ever say that resveratol was the fountain of youth? Interviews I've seen with him seem more reasonable then I always hear people make him out to be.

NMN does have some promising results based on recent studies- what do you mean he pushed hard? Where did he actually do that?

Resveratrol is "as close to a miraculous molecule as you can find."

NAD+ “is the closest we’ve gotten to a fountain of youth.”

Both quoted in an excellent article on Sinclair:

You should see what Huberman often shills and he's a prestigious professor as well.

Would also add that until recently - and by his own hand - Jordan Peterson was a professor at first Harvard, then the University of Toronto.

Andrew Huberman does take and talk about certain medications and supplements which haven't yet been proven effective. However, he has always been completely clear about what the science does and does not say so that people can make up their own minds. He has also consistently been open and ethical about conflicts of interest.

what exactly does Huberman shill? As far as I can tell, he has done an extemely commendable service bringing academic literature to the masses.

Don't know about Huberman but how did JP "shill" anything? Can you give a few examples of deceptive statements by him?

Joking, are we?

Spill the tea girlfriend, I'm sure you are right but we don't all follow or have even heard of him, why be coy.

He shills diet, sleep and exercise, and maybe circadian stuff. What are you referencing here? The ad sponsors?
