What Is BroScience, And Why It’s the Future of Sovereign Health in the 21st Century
5 years ago, I called myself a Broscientist, and people laughed.
Today I still call myself a Broscientist, and some of the most influential people in the world acknowledge thats its one of the most powerful movements of our time.
BroScience is one of the most misunderstood words in modern health culture.
I realize to the uninitiated, it’s a joke. It gets used as a slur, a term of derision said by people who outsource their thinking to authority figures, credentialism, and institutions.
To those people, BroScience means “unscientific,” “reckless,” or “gym myth.”
Or said more simple, you’re an idiot not to be taken seriously.
And thats alright.
Because they’re wrong.
Real BroScience is not anti-science. It’s post-institutional science. Its science returned to its 1st Principle core of Human curiosity using logic and reason to seek explanation and knowledge.
BroScience is what happens when intelligent, sovereign individuals do not wait for permission to optimize their health, their bodies, their lives.
Instead we integrate lived experience, pattern recognition, applied physiology, and selective scientific literacy into a coherent system that actually works on an individual level.
And this accrued knowledge creates a living corpus that leads to innovation.
It is field-tested, gym tested, performance tested biology. You cannot confine it to category, because its inter-disciplinary.
Its people like myself, operating on the edge of established knowledge and practice, self experimenting, and reviewing both old and new literature and paradigms to push knowledge further.
BroScience begins where the credentialism and clinical trial ends.
Trials tell you what happens on average. BroScience tells you what happens to you.
Credentialism claims science is “Settled”. Broscience questions the narrative and demands scientific skepticism.
The reality is that modern institutional science is no longer the neutral “truth-seeking” enterprise it claims to be. Over the past three decades, a growing replication crisis has revealed that a large percentage of published findings, especially in nutrition, psychology, and medicine, cannot be reliably reproduced.
This system is optimized for publishing papers, not discovering truth.
Whereas credentials were once a signal competence, they instead signal compliance to dogma and ideology. Career advancement depends on grant funding, institutional approval, and ideological alignment. Researchers are penalized against questioning assumptions, replicating prior work, or reporting null findings. This creates publication bias, p-hacking, and selective data reporting, all while eroding scientific integrity.
Ideology has further compromised objectivity. When certain conclusions become politically or socially protected, inquiry narrows. Entire segments of biology forbid questions on human genetic diversity, and subscribe to broken tabula rasa theories.
Questions stop being asked, because the cost of even asking them is too high. Follow the cult, or be cast out. Science in many fields have become lunatic advocacy dressed in statistical language.
Finally, skewed incentives distort outcomes. Pharmaceutical funding, academic prestige, and bureaucratic risk aversion shape which hypotheses are explored and which are ignored. Safe, incremental work is rewarded; disruptive truths are not. You will be told to shutup and follow the unspoken line.
The result is epistemic bankruptcy, a system that is credentialed, well-funded, but increasingly disconnected from reality.
Science still works, science is based on principles.
But institutions increasingly do not.
The Decentralized Health movement that is Broscience has resisted this and emerged as a rising force for neutrality, real inquiry, and innovation
The reality is is that modern health institutions were not designed to produce optimal humans. They were designed to manage populations, reduce liability, and treat disease at the lowest acceptable cost. They move slowly, speak cautiously, and rarely revise dogma in real time.
BroScience is the response to this gap.
At its core, BroScience operates on three principles:
1. The Body Is a Holistic System
BroScience rejects compartmentalization. Light directs fundamental functions, such as sleep. Sleep affects hormones. Hormones affect cognition. Cognition affects behavior. Behavior affects body composition. Nothing exists in isolation. The Science of health is an integrated field.
2. Results Trump Credentials
A degree does not make a protocol effective or validate knowledge as perfect. Understanding mechanisms and outcomes are what matters. BroScience respects data, but it values repeatable results in real humans more than prestige. If something works consistently across thousands of lifters, entrepreneurs, fathers, and athletes, then it deserves attention, regardless of whether it’s fashionable or “the SCIENCE” currently agrees with it.
3. Self-Experimentation Is a Responsibility
Sovereign health requires ownership. BroScience practitioners test, measure, adjust, and retest. Bloodwork. Body composition. Performance. Subjective wellbeing. The individual becomes the laboratory. This agency in action. The ultimate form of evidence is not a study, but N=1 results that produce a measurably healthier human.
Why is BroScience the future?
Because the 21st century demands sovereign health.
We are entering an era where centralized systems are overwhelmed, slow, and increasingly disconnected from the needs of high-functioning individuals. The men and women who want to be strong, clear-minded, resilient, and present for decades cannot rely on “wait and see” medicine that takes 20 years to change its opinion.
BroScience fills this vacuum.
It blends ancestral wisdom with modern tools. It uses peptides before they’re mainstream, strength training before it’s prescribed, metabolic health before it’s urgent, and lifestyle engineering before disease appears.
BroScience is a liberation from gate keeping and permission. Its radical responsibility
YOU are in Control of your health.
It strips away politics, bureaucracy, fear, financial incentives, and asks one brutal question:
Does this make humans stronger, healthier, and more capable over time?
If the answer is yes, it stays and is explored further.
If not, it can be set aside.
That is BroScience.
We are not rebels for the sake of being contrarian.
We seek agency over our biology
And in a century defined by chaos, complexity, and centralized failure, sovereign health will not be optional.
It will be survival, and mandatory to thrive into the future.
That is Broscience.
