Yep. This is basically the same problem we have with Alzheimer's - the people you need to treat are healthy people. The FDA just won’t let you test anything with any danger in healthy people. Since all new treatments inherently have risk it is basically impossible to give a new drug or treatment to healthy people.
Even giving something like metafomin [1] where we have decades of knowledge is in practice impossible to give to healthy people. No new treatment stands a chance.
