I love his scientific approach to health and I find his transformation inspiring but the costs of following his protocol is probably in the hundreds if not thousands every day.

In the linked document he states that the Monthly Blueprint cost is $1,684.50, this includes all meals.

Even if it does 100% work as advertised, the amount of details to follow in the protocol is insane. Half of the things there are probably placebo, the other half can be condensed into the less complicated solution.

I don’t understand this pervasive fear of death in the tech community. Yes, one day we are all going to die. Yes, one day the human civilization itself is going to die. The entire universe will die too. So what? We all knew this from the age of five or so.

I don’t want to die today, and tomorrow I’m not going to want to die, and the day after I’m not going to want to die, and so on. Therefore, I want to live forever — proof by induction on the natural numbers.

Looking at his brain health https://protocol.bryanjohnson.com/#brain-health It appears he has some brain markers such as white matter hyper intensities and ventricular volume that are older than his age of 46. The Blueprint health protocol may end up giving people with healthy bodies but an aging brain, so they will be able to live many years with dementia (because the body is otherwise healthy). Whether having a hea…

Your brain being damaged by dementia will absolutely ruin your body in a very short amount of time. In the late stages your brain can no longer perform involuntary functions and you would literally need to be fed by IV and on a respirator to stay alive.

Sounds like torture to me. And the guy doesn't look healthy at all. More like someone who's about to start chemo.

He’s thin and stays out of the sun to reduce damage to the skin. Makes sense that he looks different than most people because of these two things alone.

He does say he’s hungry all of the time. Not sure if I would get used to that.

In this Abc News interview he doesn't look healthy to me ..his skin looks weird even with tons of lighting their using. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw2H_j81_50&t=75s

I think he looks old and young at the same time. It's obvious he is not 20 years of age. But he doesn't look like 44 either. It's almost like he looks much younger than his age giving him this unnatural look.

Since very few people are measured and as fit as he is, it's not strange that we think he looks strange. But mostly I think it's lightning and makeup giving him this unnatural look.

Do we have evidence that looking healthy and being healthy are correlated?
