I am a trans tech person who strongly suspects this person will transition based on pattern recognition of other software people I’ve known transitioning.

Well, statistically women live longer so there may be more than one angle here!

I predict that statistically trans women live a lot less long

So did eunuchs, back in the day. If longevity is your only goal, I don't think you need more estrogen, just less testosterone.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

yeah my thoughts when reading his stuff too. Just because its based in "health" doesnt mean its healthy. Hes still unfamiliar with balance it seems

Nothing bad about that lifestyle as long you can mentally tolerate it. Although I don’t see what about it should cost $2 million per year

Full-time staff, including multiple private doctors(!) to secure, prepare, and then apply the stuff to your body probably makes up a large part.

This is just my opinion based on what little I know of his protocols but I think he's getting ripped off. I do about half of what he does and I think most people could afford it at the risk of having to buy two or three less shiny things. Unlike him I am not publishing where I landed because it will vary by person. Each person should binge-read everything on nih.gov and binge watch a bunch of doctors, scientists and…

Have a list of generally useful low-hanging fruit?

Isn’t he getting daily blood transfusions from younger people?

I want to know if this is really a thing. There is suspiciously little publicly Googleable reaserch.

Does blood from a young person rejuvenate someone else and is there any bad side effect on the younger person?

> In August 2022, I started 17aE2, non feminizing estradiol (Rx), based upon male longevity evidence. My dosing protocol is 4mg wk, transdermal. Since we started, there’s been no change to serum estrogen or testosterone and no known side effects.
