In this video, I take a closer look at follistatin gene therapy—a treatment often marketed as a shortcut to massive muscle growth. On paper, it sounds like the ultimate hack: block myostatin, remove the brakes on muscle size, and watch your strength skyrocket. But the truth is far more complicated.
I’ll explain how follistatin actually works, why animals bred with myostatin inhibition look impressive but struggle to survive, and why these oversized muscles often function more like “junk food” muscles—big on the outside but weak, inefficient, and prone to injury on the inside.
We’ll also cover the hidden risks: extra strain on the heart, liver, and metabolism, long-term impacts on endurance and coordination, and even the possibility of reduced lifespan. While gene therapy is an exciting frontier, altering the body’s delicate balance without understanding the consequences can be dangerous.
