“A year later, I drink less, go to bed earlier, and wear a ring that tells me how bad my sleep is,” he shared with Fortune.

Presumably washing his hair was not one of them.

Right? And hey I get dying hair to look a little better, but that dye job is horrible. Not a great look to be talking about longevity! lmao

I'm torn with my attitude about Bryan Johnson. I do think it's great that he's doing all this stuff on himself so we can watch what happens. But there's something about him that just gives me a bad vibe.

Maybe it's his vacant stare or something, but ugh, he just seems creepy. Just my bias tho, cuz maybe he's an awesome guy.

But I wouldn't want to look like him! I'm def gonna check out the documentary tho.

I don't think there's any educational value to what he's doing because he's one person, just a single data point. We can't generalize from that, we do experiments in a controlled way on many more people.

Fair point. I guess I should say I think it's more interesting than educational.

I’d never heard of him before, but now I’m curious as well. Thank for posting! Although at $2mil a year I don’t think I’m going to be adopting his regimen any time soon. Is there a $2 a year version?
