Crazy how many nasty comments are in here talking crap...shows how cruel the world can be judging someone whos worked his whole life to make money than use it to better his own health. Hes not hurting anyone and hes using the knowledge hes gained to help other by sharing his experiences. Who cares what he looks like thats irrelevant, to be fair he actually does look way younger than before he started 👏👏👏 so good for him. Hes helped humanity at the same time while doing this project he decided to embark on. Im honestly extremely happy for the man. I wish him the best and i hope he finds people in his life that can bring him even more happiness. Hes found a purpose and its helping him and others. Keep going strong Brian dont let these internet trolls hurt you ❤ you look good man screw those people 💯

I'm so grateful this dude exists.

[alisonclunes]

What a maverick! Love him or hate him, doesn’t matter, but you must respect a man who lives his life in alignment and on his own terms. History will show his experiment to be of immense value to humans.

[markyanish]

This dude inspired me to hold myself accountable and get my shit together. Very grateful

[elizabethk]

The only one on You Tube I trust is not just out to benefit financially from his videos. I'm 76, perfect health, no meds, no pain, and follow his advice as much as my modest pension allows.

[motivason]

I've watched Bryan since day one, and I never felt judged. Instead it inspired me to get better and check my bio markers daily, BP, my posture and I even made my own version of the green giant. This is a great video. Thanks man... 🙏

[inogenmackenzie]

I really like this man, he is a philosopher who has managed to get to the point where he can put his life-ideas into practice. He is a thinker and is not afraid of telling people about the inner problems that he has faced. A person who talks about how to live AND about how to live forever is rare indeed.

[highhavingness]

Interesting take, I come from a family of long life. Great aunts lived to 102, 103, grandmother to 98, mother’s sister to 100, mother 97, father 92. The rest lived into their late 80’s and early 90’s. All farm people. Fresh fruits and veggies and fresh meats. I’m mostly vegetarian. Focus on organic foods. My body likes that the best. Eat fish occasionally. I’m 70. Doctor doesn’t know what to do with me as I don’t need any meds.
I don’t like alcohol. I sang professionally so never smoked. And farm life requires lots of outdoor activity. But most of all I’m happy, avoid toxic relationships. So I love my life.
So his is an interesting take on life.

Bryan is an amazing man, and is giving humanity such a gift with the recounting of his struggles and with his longevity program.

[douglas]

Total respect for Bryan. It's sad to me that so many try to tear him down. He handles the nonsense that comes with what he's doing really admirable. If you are into science he's a must follow. So honest. His intentions are solid. I trust him and the reported results of his "experiment".

[pamelan]

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Bryan is vulnerable, caring, and gives so much good information.

[lindaw]

One of the best Johnson’s interviews w the insightful probing questions and summary. This finally helped me understand Brian’s method better ❤

[milanpintar]

who hates this guy, what is wrong with the world?? i’m so grateful for all the people that want to improve the world.

[tamiepuglisa]

So many people do terrible things with their money … Brian is using his money to help his body, his mind and he’s sharing with the world what he’s learning…. Can you imagine others doing this as well??? Thank you… I’ve ordered your blue print stack can’t wait to get it …. Thank you 🙏

[annetteannette]

I am grateful that BRIAN JOHNSON is here now and stronger. I AM GRATEFUL FOR HIM AND HIS PURPOSE. YOUR QUESTIONS AND THE HUMILITY IN WHICH THEY WERE ANSWERED WERE A GREAT EXPERIENCE TO SIT THROUGH THIS INTERVIEW. NAMASTÈ

[RoyalPurpleStar]

All you trolls out there that are mocking and insulting Bryan Johnson should go work harder on your own lives and make a better life for yourselves and your families, instead spewing vitriol for no reason other than insane jealousy.

[Oversowhat]

Dear Bryan, I am certain that you have far, far more fans than detractors. Thank you so much for your excellent work.

[raybod]

Brian Johnson is a great guy for letting everyone know what he’s doing. I’m 66, did a lot of information searching when I had several illnesses in the last 20 years. My conclusions are very similar to Bryan’s, except my diet has more seafood, pineapple and a few supplements he doesn’t take.
