- London Futurists meetup on 21 Oct 2021 featured a talk titled “Younging: Triggering Ancient Mechanisms for Rejuvenation,” focusing on interventions that re-activate endogenous repair pathways.  
- Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s video on sulforaphane was shared; the compound is a mild toxin that up-regulates the NRF2 pathway and phase-2 detoxification enzymes, potentially offering hormetic benefits.  
- Practical kitchen-level biohacks were discussed: blending raw broccoli and letting it sit for ~1 h maximizes sulforaphane formation; Romanesco broccoli contains ~10× more glucoraphanin precursor than standard varieties.  
- Frozen broccoli is blanched and thus enzyme-inactivated, but adding 0.25 % daikon radish or mustard-seed powder after thawing restores myrosinase activity and sulforaphane yield without altering taste or appearance.  
- Supporting literature links: SciDirect paper on mustard-seed enhancement (S0308814612016937) and PubMed study on processing frozen broccoli (PMID 23915112).  
- The GP-Write conference was happening the same day; participants noted that GatherTown access was available for poster sessions, though main talks were viewed as less compelling.
