I am an unhealthy food addict. No more unhealthy food for me.

Thought you might enjoy his take down of AG1. I appreciated learning HOW much and for HOW long influencers are paid. Yes, this is a plug for his own products, but helpful to me, nonetheless

He looks really good here. His teeth are so white they make my eyes hurt though.
I expect him to live slightly more than the normal healthy lifespan. 95 maybe. So I would bet that he won’t live to 120. Only problem being that I would be 140 before we would find out. So I don’t see it paying.

Yes, he looks really good and his white teeth look beautiful though unnatural. Zirconia crowns or porcelain veneers may be? The fact that at his young age he’s already replaced his teeth doesn’t convince me that he’s healthy as an 18 year old as he wants to portray. It simply shows that the guy has money.

My Physique Goal:
Dr. Nir Barzilai, the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, met Johnson in May, at the annual retreat for the Academy for Health & Lifespan Research. Barzilai recalls that when Johnson showed up, the doctors present were concerned. “He looked sick. He was pale. I don’t know what he did with his face,” Dr. Barzilai says, adding that he was alarmed by Johnson’s lack of fat, which plays an important role in the body. “All these MDs, we all kind of agreed that he didn’t look so great.”

Teeth are even harder to fix than loss of elastin. I don’t blame BJ for getting them done to look better.

Great article!
“sleeping with a tiny jet pack attached to his penis”
Hope it’s not a “Detachable Penis”. Could get lost in space…

Tolo seems like a nice girl…
“She and Johnson think of themselves as a sort of futuristic Adam and Eve. They had even planned an Adam-and-Eve themed photoshoot to help people understand that they’re “talking about a revolution on the scale of the whole human race,” Johnson says. Even though Tolo is apparently as important to the future of humanity as Eve herself, she plated and served all the meals I ate on my visit, and, at least while I was there, seemed to do most of the dishes.”
"the “10 reasons why [women] will literally hate me.” The reasons include: eating dinner at 11:30 a.m., no sunny vacations, bed at 8:30pm, no small talk, always sleeping alone, and, of course, “they’re not my number one priority.”
He forgot - “they have to do the dishes”
Bryan is certainly an interesting character. Hollywood will eventually do the movie.
He somehow reminds me of the idea of raising a child in a “Skinner Box”.

Doesn’t everyone condition their child in some shape or form?

Well, yes…but that’s kinda my point…Bryan Johnson, like a “skinner box” is an extreme version of normal.

I don’t disagree with him on AG1, but its not like he’s coming from a dis-interested , unbiased perspective; he’s selling his own nutraceuticals line. It would be a lot more credible if it was coming from a neutral third party.

Interesting… he mentions a TedX Longevity Summit, taking place in Boston on October 1st. If anyone goes, please report back. It looks good, but I would like to see some more cutting edge stuff… rapamycin, plasmapheresis, …
All the “eat well and exercise” are the basic touchstones of health I’ve been hearing for the past 40 years… its all sort of like “motherhood and apple pie” , …

Apparently Bryan didn’t get the memo… (of course, who really knows what is going on, and how things might proceed… but people in a Trump administration typically have a fairly short half-life.) 'nuff said. Lets avoid politics please.
Exactly! not like that is new to anyone in or outside the longevity realm

I actually agree with you here. RFK had a long list of alternative treatments he wanted tested and Rapa easily falls in that realm.
It could be a hot issue though. I went in for an eye exam a year or so ago and my usual doc wasn’t there, his daughter was there covering for him. We talked for a bit about supplements and what might help etc… I brought up that I used Rapa and she totally changed. It’s like I said I was a pedophile or something. She thinks it’s wrong to take something that might make you have an increased healthspan. She really hasn’t thought it through, and my point is that much of the public is probably in the same place. I was surprised she even knew what it was, I’ve talked to several docs that don’t.
I think RFK’s thesis is that vaccines increase all cause mortality. He wants to see a process that can prove it one way or the other. I’m behind him on this all the way. I like science and I like proof. Let the chips fall where they may.
Here’s a crazy story on politics, I’ll try to keep it short. When it was said that the election was stolen and everybody was arguing about who should go to jail, I spent an unreasonably long time writing a letter to our governor ,Kim Reynolds. I doubted anybody would read it, maybe they didn’t. My point was that nobody really knows how all this electronic stuff works and we don’t trust it. There are too many ways to cheat. Since all voting machines in Iowa have a stack of paper ballots in the bottom (which nobody ever looks at) I thought we should automatically audit a small percentage of them and post the results after every election. Let the R’s pick a few, let the D’s pick a few and let the computer pick a few. If they come in wrong, audit them all. UNBELIEVABLY, the next session a bill passed that did exactly that. So in Iowa anyway our elections are pretty safe.
Nobody will read this post, it was too long.

This week, Bryan Johnson stopped Rapamycin.
He was very cautious with this compound based on some things seen in animal studies—glucose control, heart fibrosis, and testicular degeneration.
