Now im curious why he believes electrically grounding your bed sheets will give you a better night sleep.
I assume this is some crazy conspiracy theory, but still curious.

#62What is this guys agenda? Seems like he’s on the path to setup a cult.

Re: Blueprint health protocol
#63I have no idea whether his stuff will work but I'm glad people are trying wacky stuff to find out.
There is a very weird lack of interest in slowing down or reversing aging in the scientific/medical community in general. To me it seems like it should be a top priority. Life is extremely short and extending our lives shouldn't be a terribly hard feat given there are plenty of biologically immortal and long lived organisms all over our planet.

Maybe most people are content with children, the current state of the art against aging communities?

#64In 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.
He uses similar lighting in his YouTube videos just not as much.

#65I 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?
Seems a lot more extreme then that (e.g. he doesn't just tell people to sleep better he also tells people to buy special bed sheets with silver in them to ensure your bed is electrically grounded), and it seems likely he gets kickbacks from some of these products.

#66Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
But isn't this one of the points of all this. Figuring out which thnigs work and which don't? Which can be thrown out and which can be "condensed"?

He is also personally experimenting with things far more extreme than that. Like off-label pharmaceuticals, replacing his blood with blood from his son, and even gene therapy.
Well yeah, but he doesn't say people should follow him but rather that everyone are free and should make changes to his "protocol" in order to make it fit their life.
I still see no problem here..
Re: Blueprint health protocol
#68the goal shouldn’t be to avoid death but to live our old age in adequately healthy and strong bodies (proportional to age and our daily routines) and a sharp mind still capable of following complex arguments. i doubt the strategy for this involves all this sacrifice and masochism. but fear of death is such an overriding fear. it commits us into slavery and makes us do crazy things with sufficient justification. life’s for living not longevity. so live! tecumseh’s poem comes to mind:
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.Re: Blueprint health protocol

Can you link me to a statement where he actually tells people to buy sheets with silver in them?
Honestly, I've followed him for quite a while and pretty much all of his content is wholesome and while a bit culty, it's not like he is forcing anyone to do anything. For the stuff that actually makes him money, he is a lot less sales-pushy than the overwhelming majority of youtubers. You can get his protocol for free and follow as much as you want to, buy the supplements and silver sheets from wherever if you want to.
Re: Blueprint health protocol
#70I 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…
Maybe if he was not doing anything, his score would be 1.1? Also, I don't think the point is doing fancy things. The people that beat him might just be doing "common sense" healthy things. Something which most people don't do. See SAD (Standard American Diet).
Yeah, of course, maybe it would be 1.1. What I am trying to say is that the results could be reported in a more scientific manner.
For instance, about epigenetic clocks, there are a lot of them now. There is GrimAge for mortality, FitAge for fitness, and dozens of different clocks for chronological age. I cannot know for sure, but I am almost sure Bryan tried at least a few. Why did they select to showcase only this one? Is it because they liked the results the most?
Same for all other markers. All of them are "optimal" "above 95%", etc. Is there no marker that is not so great and can still be improved? Also showing the history of the measurements (how they fluctuate during years Bryan is on the protocol) would be wonderful. Or measuring the same markers for a different person, who is above him in the leaderboard, but not going through the protocol.
I want to repeat that I love what he is doing. But for some reason the website gives a marketing vibe. This is our protocol, everything is optimal, here is our olive oil. Which is a bit of a weird look, given the lengths Bryan Johnson is going through.
