Friends who constantly talk about their healthy lifestyle choices

I am with a group of lifelong friends, we are all in our early 60s. Until 5 years ago they used to be fun to hang out with, now our conversation revolves around their health choices, naturopaths, gut health, supplements, new exercise routines, anti aging treatments, and frankly questionable information that they had seen online (mouth taping?? dangerous seed oils???) Because of their various diets they are on (gluten free, keto,, etc), sharing a meal is a nightmare to navigate through. I recently said that I may be going on statins, as I have high cholesterol, and due to natural aging and hereditary issues (both my parents had heart attacks in their 60s) and you would have thought I was selling my soul to the devil. They all declared I should avoid statins at all costs, yet this has been proven to be a safe, effective treatment for most. They used to be chill, fun people, now its just endless chatter on subjects I am uninterested in.
