Intro/Outro Song: Sedução Momentânea by Roulet:

[__NikolaTesla__]

He felt miserable earlier in his life and now he feels better than ever. Simultaneously, he puts out all the data and his findings for free and supports whole food plant based lifestyle.

[MictheVegan]

While I did applaud him for putting stuff out for free, maybe I did crack a few too many jokes and not mention that as far as rich tech dudes go, Bryan seems to be really genuine and well-intentioned which I appreciate. He could easily keep all of this a secret and I'm sure other rich people are. I also want to emphasize that while I was pointing out potential holes in the regimen (or for people who try to follow it), it certainly is better than what I do lol.

[BangMaster]

I don't get all the hate Bryan's getting on the Internet. He is a free Man, he lives in a Free Country, he can do whatever he wants with his Money. And the good thing for us a Society is, he is giving out tons of free information on his anti-agin routine. It's a win-win for everyone. To some People, he may seem obsessed, but to Society, he is providing tremendous value based on his own research he funds with his own Money.
Instead of caring what he does with his Time, Money, & Energy, why not use his methods and apply it in your own Life wherever you can. We all want to look healthy & young as we get old, so, there is nothing wrong with it.

I suppose having earned a billion dollars made him realise that (despite what a lot of excuse makers say) you can't buy health, or lifespan, so he's trying to earn that, now. He's a trier, that's for sure. He's a one person longevity experiment, with all the stats recording it.

I’ve been following Bryan Johnson for a couple months now. I think the greatest value in what he is doing is that he emphasizes diet (plant-based), exercise and sleep, which are things that everyone can focus on and improve regardless of their financial situation. It just takes discipline and focus. So in that sense it is inspiring and motivating.

[ElsjeMassyn]

I listened to Brian Johnson's story on Pierce Morgan's show.
Whilst Piers tried to punch holes in him he stayed peaceful, patient and very kind till the end.
I applaud him for good manners and of course doing this scientific anti-ageing venture on a plant based diet.
May he be blessed in whatever he does and reach all his goals.

[bonniek]

He actually is vegan for ethical reasons. He mentions this in one of his interviews - that he hopes the human race will evolve and become more responsible and compassionate. At that time he stated that he couldn’t find a good vegan supplement for collagen (but hoped to).

[stcalico]

I admire him for being able to live such a regimented lifestyle. Hopefully he finds some joy in the life he is working so hard to extend.

[swites]

45 is still pretty young. Generally if you look after yourself you can still look pretty young-ish at 45. Age accelerates a lot from 45 to 50 though in terms of greying hair, wrinkles etc.

[Jetta]

I admire Bryan because he did something very few people do: he didn't like the way his life was going, and he changed it. Making a full scale change like that in your 40's is not easy. Plus he seems so happy. I say good for him.

[jakubchrobry]

Metformin does not increase longevity in people that exercise according to some recent studies. It negates the benefits of exercise. Bryan Johnson exercises a lot, so it will be interesting to see if he drops Metformin from his regimen. Does he or his paid experts not know about this or do they currently disagree with the studies?

[helenhucker]

Thank you for this Mic.
I have a book called 'Who Goes First ' that tells the stories of doctors and other medical people who experimented on themselves to better understand science. It is a fascinating read and I think this guy is providing a similar service to solve the problem of healthy aging. Good luck to him.

[lavanniarajalingam]

I think it isnt about just living longer. But it is also about increasing the quality of life as we age. Having seen my grandparents and older aunts suffer for their poor quality lifestyle choices has made me realize the best way to live is to take care of what goes into our bodies. Bryan's work helps with giving us ideas on what may work for the human body and increase the quality of our health

[Starship_X]

@MictheVegan regarding the collagen peptides, Bryan Johnson has said that they are still looking for a reputable vegan source... likely waiting for one that can produce a Certificate of Analysis (purity of soil and practice, no heavy metals, 3rd party batch tested, etc.).

[kathivy]

He’s a better role model than Andrew Tate, so more power to him.

[spacewalktraveller]

Personally, I wish Bryan all the best in what he is doing, it's his life and his money. I really hope he lives a long full life.

[alison]

12:36 I wonder... when I was working at a veterinarian clinic, I learned that cats and dogs who have been spayed/neutered they lived longer, and one of the reasons why was because it reduces their risk of reproductive cancers

Yes. His olive oil is top notch quality. I think he makes it himself. He plans on creating a little olive oil business with full chemical analysis, like polyphenols etc. Sounds like he wants to profit from some of his protocol. I don't blame him, and it's a health business (more ethical) rather than a disease business like many other products in this country, e.g. tobacco, chicken farming, etc.

[hrhsophiathefirst]

When we are young we chase wealth, once we have it we chase health. I find this fascinating because his diet looks remarkably similar to the foods I ate growing up on a small Caribbean island. Most of our food we farmed or fished the same day we ate it! With no car we walked everywhere and swam for recreation. I am 47 and I still eat this way now it costs a lot more as I live in US but I still try to have a whole food diet, eat small bony fish a couple times a week, have an oatmeal breakfast of an insane amount of nuts, antioxidants and omegas and exercise every day. So far so good!

[tamcon]

Too much work, but he's experimenting on himself, so OK. Credit to him for freely providing the information about his regimen--he'd look like a Bond villain if he charged money for it--and it's good that, apart from the unattainable supplement regimen, it's practical, evidence-based stuff: Don't eat too much, make your diet mostly whole plant foods, get a good amount of restorative sleep, and engage in daily moderate exercise. Thanks for posting!
