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’m sure your visual analysis performed via a screen is more accurate than the dozens of tests he constantly has carried out by specialists in a lab.

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.
These websites will look so funny 100 years from now when everyone involved is dead. It will look to the future exactly like emperors drinking mercury to extend their lives. I love it.

Ah yes, because fear of mortality is restricted to tech people.
Well, I don’t see, say, medical doctors designing “protocols” taking dozens of pills every day.
Go back 150 years and it was much more common.

Do we have evidence that looking healthy and being healthy are correlated?
Depends how you define those terms, but i think the answer is an obvious yes. Many looking healthy things are literally just your body functioning correctly.
I think Bryan is an interesting dude and no matter if you think he is insane or not, it's interesting to follow and the message is a good one. He is literally telling people to sleep more, exercise more, eat better etc etc. How can you be against that?
Honestly it sounds like he is putting a lot of stress on himself and I'm not sure that helps to stay young at all. He doesn't look young but at least he dresses younger which I guess is something.
Why is this on top of HN? Shameful self promotion into a cult?

> b12 (because livestock are supplemented with it) What do you mean "supplemented"? The vitamin comes from animal sources.
Livestock is given B12 supplements. B12 only occurs naturally in soil, where the concentrations are too low for even animals to bind. Prehistoric humans probably ate more dirt and had enough of it. This comment has a lot of sources compiled https://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/7ujsaf/comment/dtlj7...
LOL. Patently false. B12 is produced by bacteria in herbivores' guts.
I love what the guy is doing. It is a one-man experiment that would be very very hard to reproduce, or even get ethics approval and funding for, by a research lab. But on the other hand, I get a sense that the public side of his results are overblown. For example, my field is epigenetics, so I had a look at his "epigenetic clock" results. He uses "DunedinPACE" to track the rate of aging and his result is supposedly 0…
> Why not mention things like that along with all the optimism? The only people I see with extreme optimism are weird tech people. Most people I follow outside of that circle range from laughing at this to "kinda neat" (like you and me). Is anyone convinced this is "worth it", or that what he's doing is actually anti-aging anything?
