He isn't. He became rich by relying on rich parents and now tries to follow in David Sinclais footsteps, but clearly has no understanding of biology, which has led to numerous people getting side effects from the blueprint protocol.

[@rhitaakhardid5792]

Great insight! Thank you. Please be kind to your guests. I was taken back when you blurted „ how did you do that and you do not seem to be that kind of guy … you don’t seem like someone who would be doing the victory dance“… Never heard of people that are reserved personalities but are highly successful?! Be kind!

Hi Sam, sorry to hear you have the ApoE4 gene issue. The gene is involved in cholesterol metabolism. Since it's a genetic defect at best you can slow it. It's a bit far-fetched but try to lower your LDL-C, hope you're brushing your teeth before eating (morning) and sleeping, keep your B12 and D up. All the best. Hope you read the comment.

[@ShannonHansenCook]

It is true there are lots of things you can do with apoe4 genes to beat the progress and possibly prevent dementia. Check out Dr. Phil Bredesen's work. I teach my resident psychiatrists- in -traing his concepts frequently.

[@JennyMaxwell-r1y]

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly

[@GabrielFelix-g5w]

Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields

[@JennyMaxwell-r1y]

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choi

I love this so much but I would have one question for him. Actually, I have a Lotta questions for him but main one would be how do you quantify the emotional impact foods can have especially when you try to standardize that set of equations across all spectrums of society? I’d. giving gummy bears to a toddler compared to a 70yr old or rewarding my a 3rd grader after a soccer game with a happy meal compared to eating some scientific sludge “a Sad Meal” lol

[@fabiosmind]

[@davidshamiri1448]

Thanks the podcast .. following all three of you now

[@benmacdonald5625]

respect to Bryan for his successes, it's an interesting interview, but my apologies - as a few others have said in the comments, this just raised more questions for me and didn't quite sit right. Biology != engineering. a helmet that measures brain activity with light - going to have to walk me through that one. eating exactly 1,977 calories a day and nothing more? not probable. when i hear someone speaking about epigenetic markers or serological markers as though they're an immutable characteristic of all bodies that can pinpoint a biological age, i'm skeptical. coding data in DNA - yes it can be done, but so what? use cases? efficiency & speed of writing and reading that data vs alternatives? what do you do with it? there's something around 22:30 - 'could we build a global biological immune system?.. solutions coded by software engineers.. infrastructure to engineer atoms, molecules and organisms.', i didnt quite understand what he was trying to say, but something along the lines of how we need software engineers to solve biological problems (?). we're going to engineer atoms? maybe it's just the way he speaks, and that these statements have qualifiers and limitations that aren't been said out loud, but it left me thinking that something was off.

[@karensams994]

I think your critique is valid but even if he is a psychopath people like this are valuable to society.

There is nothing wrong with Bryan. The guy is simply a genius…with discipline as a side dish. Plain and simple.

I’m by no means the best developer albeit I’m alright. From my understanding building a secure payment processing software is a massive endeavour . I find it hard to believe he was able to do that on limited funds :/ .

[@jackmiddleton2080]

It is a lot easier in today's world. It was probably a lot harder when his company did it. Technology keeps progressing in a way where what took a team of the best and the brightest in the world to do a decade or two ago can now be done by one guy in his dorm room.

[@crimpers5543]

Probably had some contacts in the industry. Sounds a little sus that these big companies pretty much didn't want the headache of proper payments compliance and just outsourced it to some startup. Sounds very high risk and really easy to blow up.

[@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384]

@@crimpers5543 ya that too some startup which didn't really have a track record... these are the actual interesting points which get glossed over because all these podcast hosts want to sell the story.. did he know someone? how did they connect? what was the network like. how did he get into that network. there are so many questions right there. and that is what the make or break it part of the entire story is. if most people can get these "breaks", a lot of people are ready to work hard and have high iq.
