Men's biohacking culture pushes unproven testosterone and peptide regimens
Verge senior reviewer Victoria Song describes a growing online subculture of men sharing 'looksmaxxing' routines, including testosterone boosters, gray-market peptides, and drugs like Cialis taken off-label for longevity rather than their approved use. Figures like biohacker Bryan Johnson promote these regimens publicly, framing them as tools for physical optimization, appearance, or anti-aging rather than treating any diagnosed condition.
