Gene editing that could make your bones eight times stronger is no longer science fiction, and Biohackers World just wrapped its biggest ever event in Los Angeles. Then we go into the vault for a classic conversation with Paul Saladino on the carnivore diet, recorded when he was its biggest evangelist, which makes it a fascinating listen knowing what he thinks now.
