This guy's content snuck into my youtube algo not long ago. He seems to have a real disorder that stems from age and time, permeating every aspect of his life. I know it sounds a bit judgemental, and everyone should be able to do as they please. Agreed. But if you look into him, he is actually peddling a lot of these gadgets and courses around anti-aging. The media attention he's getting is probably just lining his pockets even further
I enjoy watching his content and the levels and arguments he makes, the only thing I don't like is he believes because he is spending 2m a year, that everything he says is fact, and based on data so it's impossible to be wrong.
That kind of thinking is so odd. He thinks every eating plan is stupid, because it's not his eating plan.
As if eating that many pills and his weird food is the only way to optimize one's self.
I just started following Bryan's journey two weeks ago.
I didn't get the same impression as you. I always thought it's implied he's talking about what's good for him, not all people. He then uses that as a framework for something others could pickup and incorporate in their lives.
I like the iterative nature of his work - he always tries to improve the recipes and supplements he takes.
I always see a lot of negative comments about the guy here on HN, and he's basically hacking his own body and publishes everything for free[0].
I don't know, there's a lot of red flags on his site.
"Slowed pace of aging by 31 years": How could one possibly quantify this accurately?
Depending on his body weight, a bench press of 240lbs isn't particularly notable or impressive.
Giving leg press numbers instead of something like deadlift or squat is a bit suspicious. Leg press is easy to cheat by limiting range of motion. Plus full body movements that require more stabilization would be a better measure if one is trying to prove they haven't aged.
Comparing strength numbers to an 18 year old is probably not the best metric, given that strength takes a certain amount of time to build. Not that there are good scientific papers on this but I think general consensus is it peaks mid 20s
I agree that I like many aspects of what he does, and I am not just saying negative comments.
I'm speaking specifically about a recent video where he explicitly says that every other diet is worthless because it's not backed by data, and his is.
Also, I try not to judge what people spend their money on, but you can help a lot of people with $2m. Every time I hear stories like this I think of that guy in the UK who saved up for ... hair transplants? I think? and when he'd saved his $20k or whatever it was he decided to give it to some kid who needed money for a non-cosmetic medical treatment. There's a mensch for you.
Yeah I also think he has some form of OCD. Regardless, I think someone trying what he’s trying is a positive for humanity. Learnings about the human body could pop out
