Turns out it might not be possible to win at vaginal microbiomes, which is a totally normal thing to want in the first place. Seems like bryan may have completely misinterpreted a couple of papers on the subject, which honestly doesn’t bode well for the rest of his biology expertise.
Cat Hicks:
The idea that this is the “best bacterial species” is a huge sign of a grifter btw. The entire idea of a microbiome includes that you need BALANCE. Microbiomes are a fragile ecosystem. “Up and to the right is always better” is absurd here, I’m sorry are we in a corporate board room

oh thanks, this is great. yes now that it is pointed out, very eugenics-y to go around saying “ah yes there is one true supreme bacteria, we should culture this bacteria on the human petri dish aka vagina”

which honestly doesn’t bode well for the rest of his biology expertise. Isn’t Bryan Johnson a businessman? Does he even purport to have any biology expertise?
