Exercise Scientist Critiques Bryan Johnson's INSANE Anti-Aging Protocol

[@BryanJohnson]

Hi Friends, Bryan Johnson here 👋. My health habits were terrible as a kid, I martyred my health for twenty years as I built companies, and I was chronically depressed for a decade. So after forty years of wearing my body down, my biomarkers are now in the top 1%. I openly share all of my learnings and data with the world, hoping that it will help others out. Wishing all of you the best. Top 1%: Speed of aging (epigenetic) Top 1%: Muscle mass & function Top 1%: Fat mass Top 1%: Inflammation Top 1%: VO2 max (cardiovascular) Top 1%: Bone mass Top 1%: Sleep Top 1%: Combined clinical markers

I am a little disappointed Dr. Mike did not mention quality sleep as a core pillar of health. To quote you and Will Tennyson: "If people at home could take something away from you, what would have the most impact?" "Sleep."

Not the path I would have taken, but to each their own I suppose... I would suggest re-reading my comment. I said it might be feasible. In other words, I made no claims to certainty because that would be impossible. However, I have worked in the IT industry for 20 years as a software developer, and have seen the incredible amounts of advancements that AI has seen in literally just a couple years. So I have a bit better of a perspective of where things are going than the average Joe. It occurs to me that you are one of those people that desperately fight against AI regardless of how it is used. So any time anyone even utters those two letters in even the slightest positive way, you have this unsuppressible urge to start shit with them. Hate to break it to you, AI isn't going anywhere, it's going to be better than you at everything you do, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. You can either embrace it and benefit from it, or be left behind. Your choice, I honestly don't care what you do. Also, I care little for your opinion in general since you have already established yourself as an internet troll. So feel free to type up your response (I'm sure it's going to be wonderfully eloquent, and filled with as much insight as your first response), but I will not be reading it. So just know ahead of time your efforts will be wasted. Not because of a fear of conflict or anything like that (I have no issues with that), but it's because you chose to be dick with zero prior provocation. So next time, be respectful, and you might actually get somewhere.

[@wrightworldwide]

Thanks Mike! Always a good laugh. Question: you often say seed oils are not bad, but do not address why others say they are bad and I was wondering, would you please expound one day for us? Cons: 1.Inflammation: High intake of omega-6 fatty acids relative to omega-3 fatty acids can promote inflammation in the body. Modern diets often have a skewed omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. 2.Oxidative Stress: PUFAs are prone to oxidation, which can lead to the formation of harmful compounds when the oils are exposed to heat, light, or air. 3.Processing: Many seed oils undergo extensive processing, including refining, bleaching, and deodorizing, which can strip away beneficial nutrients and introduce harmful chemicals. 4.Trans Fats: Some processed seed oils may contain small amounts of trans fats, which are harmful to heart health. Thanks for your time, whether or not you do see/acknowledge this.

I do find from personal experience that my sleep patterns are better when I watch the sunrise in the morning. So refreshing! Also, Vitamin D is an incredibly important vitamin that is necessary for just about every function in your body. Just get plenty of polyphenols and antioxidants to combat any potential sun damage, and you are good. Seed oils, though, are highly inflammatory. Stick to omega 3s, coconut oils, grass-fed butter, avocado oil, and beef tallow.

Sure, maybe there are different, unexpected things that happen when doing them all in combination as a side-effect, but given the specificity of each addition and the specific part of the body it targets, I doubt there's much overlap with the effects of the things he does (like that tearduct massager lol). tell me if I'm wrong though! open to debate

Most longevity people don't look great. Which should speak for itself. But there are some honest things that MIGHT be worth thinking about. Like long periods of fasting (48+hrs) probably do a lot to make you healthier. But fasting may deplete certain fat stores we haven't seen depleted in wealthy people in generations. So it might look weird to us. Most rich people don't have sallow cheeks from starving. This may be a fairly new thing to human society. So it's worth considering. Maybe the healthy people of the future won't look optimal according to our old genetic senses.

Because he's pale as hell and trying not to emote because it will show his wrinkles

[@FillYouWithMe]

A body made for longevity, a face made for a 1980's cyborg movie where he's trying to deceive humans and take control of the planet.

[@mslice09]

More like Woody Allen's (Sleeper) ..he wakes up in the future and finds out everything he was told was wrong.😮

[@billballinger5622]

He looks like the cyborg from the first Alien movie

[@Len1977gt]

He doesn't do any plastic surgery or any cosemtic enhancements to his face

[@turkN9NE]

lmao

[@HoboGardenerBen]

Huh? He openly admitted getting facial fillers. Keeping a super low body fat made his face look scary so he got fillers. It looks weird

[@thefish727]

Dr. Mike is 39? God damn, gear is wild.

[@Avogadros_number]

Looks closer to 49

[@kodeshministry4612]

😂😂😂😂 its not even worth it. Just go the long route, get just as big and stilll be healthy at the end of it. This can be done naturally

[@bodycounter9386]

I mean he basically looked 40 in his early twenties. He is just built different.

[@Avogadros_number]

@@kodeshministry4612 you cannot get as big and defined as Dr. Mike without steroids

[@RickR-k6j]

I knew many people who clearly weren't athletic, big beards, man hands, was in high school. we just different

[@curtisstewart3179]

I was told by a doctor when I asked him the best thing I can do do to extend my life as I enter my 70's was "Don't fall". So my training revolves around isometrics, walking, and ballance. People I know that fall and break something are dead in 2 years or less. I work to not let the old man in.

[@markislivingdeliberately]

And if you fall, rehab and keep moving even after it hurts. Just keep moving.

[@curtisstewart3179]

You fall and break something after 70, odds are against you. After 80, much worse.​@@markislivingdeliberately

@@curtisstewart3179 Great mentality ! Happy you have found a good routine

[@Fallenangel_85]

Keep moving and put weight on those bones, that way they don't become brittle and weak.

[@jordanbeagle5779]

BJJ teaches you to fall safely. Probably the number one benefit tbh 😂
