Two Percent with Michael Easter · #21: Why Health Became the New Religion | Alan Levinovitz · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

There's only so much paper.

Yeah, yeah.

People were asking me, why didn't I include the stories of patients who have done these mind-body therapies, been failed by them, and feel they've been harmed by them?

I mean, the answer is this is not a piece about...

all of the failed therapeutic interventions that are out there and the way that people have been harmed by them.

I mean, those are both important stories.

People harmed by mind-body therapies, people on crazy protocols that could have all sorts of health side effects.

I mean, for me, this is not about...

boosting mind-body therapies or boosting biomedical or whatever you want to call it, protocols.

That's just a different story.

Someone should write it.

It's not going to be me.

I'm not writing the hit piece on the unevidenced biomedical protocols that are happening at long COVID clinics.

Someone else, if they want to step in there, can do that.

I think I'm going to move on a bit from this topic.

I mean, gosh, talk about a movement with a long history.

As I said, my original area of expertise is classical Chinese thought.

Taoist monks have all kinds of longevity protocols, and those typically involve avoiding whatever it is the masses are eating, combined with some sort of proprietary supplement regimen, some magic spells, etc., etc.,

I think the longevity movement is just our culture's version of a timeless search, which is the way to get outside of mortality.

You have gurus like Brian Johnson.
