Grave Concerns for Elon Musk’s Health as Doctor Spots Worrying Sign in Latest Joe Rogan Episode
In a recent feature for The Daily Mail, I was asked to comment on the public’s growing concern over Elon Musk’s apparent physical decline. My remarks centered not on celebrity, but on the universal physiology of stress.
Even among individuals with extraordinary resources, the effects of sustained emotional strain are visible and measurable. Prolonged exposure to stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline accelerates cellular wear and tear, increasing one’s risk for cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.
Chronic stress also interferes with nutrient absorption, sleep quality, and metabolic balance. Over time, this creates what I often describe as the “rusting” of the body’s systems — a gradual, internal deterioration that no one is immune to, regardless of status or success.
Public figures like Mr. Musk often operate under immense, unrelenting pressure. But the underlying biology is the same for everyone: stress isn’t merely psychological; it’s biochemical. Managing it effectively — through proper rest, balanced nutrition, and moderation of workload — remains one of the most powerful forms of preventive medicine we have.
