You guys really are obsessed with the Johnson lol

This Johnson keeps getting shoved in our face.

[Thought Art]

@Leo Gura He’s a leader and change maker. Shove shove shove. 
 

Teaching people to sleep, exercise and eat healthy to me matters a lot for a well functioning society. 
 

I am willing to admit that I’m wrong. 
 

However, I take his supplements:

1. Longevity Mix

2. Creatine

3. Essential tabs

4. Ashwghanda and Rhodelia 

5. NAC, ginger cucumin.. 

I personally notice I feel really good throughout the day. I’m also taking fibre and probiotics which healed my recent stomach issues. 
 

I measure my sleep and activity score everyday with my Oura ring. My sleep is improving and my stress has gone down too. However, there are personal reasons for this the supplements can’t fully account for. 
 

Ive notice increased mental clarity, focus creativity. I can’t say for certain, but I really enjoy them. I think creatine for me is huge. 
 

I want access to the best foods, supplements, materials, books, teachers, courses, techniques etc for living a long healthy life. I personally like Bryan and the Blueprint brand. Yes, it is expensive. You can buy the same supplements elsewhere or not at all. 
 

I am willing to adjust over time. 
 

A lot of the substances the OP shares has to do with his hair growth protocol… yeah I’m open to that. 
 

Also, some people have claimed he doesn’t share biometrics that show he is unhealthy. Notice how that’s unfounded claim. we don’t know that. I’ve seen him shared publicly his protocol fails in the past why wouldn’t he do it again? 
 

He is a weird looking guy. Some of his protocols I think are not interesting to me. But, that’s not the value he gives me. Just like I don’t want to be Leo Gura I don’t want to be Bryan Johnson.

I remember when life purpose and personal development was a theme of this place… I see a lot of people talking and judging but doing nothing.

That's cause he lives off mostly artificial things and supplements. You simply cannot out-do nature, that is the very downfall of humanity and root cause of our dis-ease in the world today. He looks very deathly but its his journey and experience, eventually he will come to his senses, hopefully.

 

This is called the appeal to nature fallacy. He eats a lot of whole foods everyday also…. Are you being balanced?

@Thought Art Look at his hand, which he cant hide with his makeup. Looks old.

Let's not forget social / health influencers exist to sell you things.

Housing, income, food access, education, social connection / safety, stress, safety, healthcare access - these are bigger social determinants of health. These things have a bigger impact on people's health than any morning routine ever will. But many of these issues dont have the ability to sell you something. Bryan's stuff tends to mix the two. Bullshit it always served up along with truth. There is something being sold. Sleep - wearables/mattress, food - his suppliment line etc. Fitness - wearables. Air - filters. Hair - red light caps. Temperature monitors. It goes on.

Health "influencers" are not legitimate forms of information, they are generally just freelance marketers with affiliate links.

Don't forget this. The presentation can create an illusion that health is mostly a technological optimization problem. It's wise to approach the social influencer ecosystem with the same skeptesism you would advertising.

I think it could be circulation problems - he has thyroid issues he takes medication for. 

His eyes are constantly looking very irritated which I don't quite understand. Unless he has Graves disease. Eye irritation can be linked to thyroid issues. He looks worse than be did prior to losing the weight, but he reports to feel better + better health data. 

[OBEler]

@Natasha Tori Maru He probably feels good. A  junkie feels also good if he has stable supply on drugs. 

[Thought Art]

@OBEler Regardless, his commentary on sleep, nutrition, exercise and our toxic food supply chains and fast food companies are true. All his supplemental products and nutrition products have science behind them and are third party tested his food plans are available for free and align with nutrition experts I’ve seen in the past. 
 

His appearance is odd. Always has been. He looks the best he has, from what I’ve seen. He is older, and didn’t live that healthy for most of his life and damage has been done already. I wonder why his eyes are red, or what happened prior to him being on camera. Worth wondering. 
 

Calling him a drug addict is a weird accusation in my opinion. I don’t follow that. He kind is kind spoken, teaches practical health advice and is motivating for health conscious people. He seems to be focused and inspired by health, longevity and enjoying life in a healthy way…. I don’t see the issue with that. 
 

Don’t die from preventable diseases that are lifestyle related is a fair purpose. 
 

I don’t know the extent of his personal health. I know he has data on all his organs. Not all of them are healthy. But, he has good biometrics according to him. But, none of us truly know. 
 

Appearance is a way of judging for sure. But, I’m not convinced it’s enough because those are only snap shots. His eyes looked fine when talking to Theo Von recently…

He is a middle aged man. He’s gonna look like one. He looks fit. His face is weird and he has done strange procedures to it early on in his project too.

What do you guys have against BJ? 

Haha yea, he's unfortunately caught in 🔶 Orange paradigms: reductionism, self-maximization.

He has traces of 🟢 Green tho: psychedelics & veganism.

Also a good example of how psychedelics use without proper spiritual/ontological/epistemological work gets you nowhere, or even more trapped in one's own worldview.
