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.
