SNL Roasts MAHA, Pistachios Slap, ChatGPT Doctor Stats, Colon Cancer Under 50, and more... : 1435

This week's stories: 

*SNL Roasts the MAHA Movement 

Saturday Night Live took direct aim at RFK-adjacent anti-vaccine culture in a sketch that lampoons raw milk, bull semen, energy healers, and "natural immunity" rhetoric — and it landed with a mainstream audience. Dave breaks down what it means when fringe health narratives become national punchlines, and why being a biohacker means staying precise about what you're actually skeptical of.

*Pistachios Are a Stealth Longevity Stack 

New Cornell-linked research shows pistachios are significantly more bioactive than standard nutrition data suggested — hitting Nrf2, AMPK, and gut barrier pathways simultaneously. This is a whole-food hack hiding in plain sight.

*40 Million People Are Using ChatGPT as Their Doctor 

Industry estimates put daily ChatGPT health queries at roughly 40 million users — making AI the largest informal primary care interface on the planet. Dave lays out the only safe framework for using these tools without getting burned.

*Your Microbiome Is a City — and Architecture Matters 

New biofilm research shows that how your gut microbes physically organize themselves may matter as much as which strains you have. The next frontier of microbiome hacking is infrastructure, not species.

*Colon Cancer Is Now the Leading Cause of Cancer Death Under 50 

This is no longer a retirement problem. Dave breaks down the four drivers behind the spike — and why your gut health protocols are now frontline cancer prevention.

*Measles Is Back — and the Math Is Unambiguous 

Over 1,300 confirmed cases across 31 states in 2026 alone, with the US at risk of losing its measles elimination status for the first time since 2000. Dave addresses the "natural immunity" argument directly — and doesn't pull punches.
