My thoughts on the $2 million dollar anti-aging man? You’ll hear them all in this episode—I’m talking about Bryan Johnson and his highly debated lifestyle. You may have already heard of Bryan, a tech centi-millionaire based in Los Angeles, since he has become a pretty controversial figure and has faced a lot of ridicule for ridiculously regimented and heavily tested life (think biohacking, but on an extreme level). Based in Los Angeles, Bryan has dedicated his life to reversing the aging process and promoting his movement which he calls, “Don’t Die.” I will admit I used to view Bryan’s whole lifestyle as super weird, especially the $2 million dollars a year part, which seemed not just totally unrelatable, but also potentially uninteresting and inapplicable. However, I decided to learn more about Bryan and listened to interviews he gave with people like Gabby Reece, and I started to see something different—someone who was generous, interesting, and kind-hearted, who was genuinely just trying to do something grand to help humanity. As you will hear, I am not planning on implementing many of his methods, but I wanted to educate myself about him so I could share my thoughts about his lifestyle from an informed perspective. In this episode, I talk about the many elements of Bryan’s lifestyle and beliefs and share my personal opinions on his choices, such as my thoughts on Bryan’s assertion that AI is going to be the best way to care for our health (and make our lifestyle decisions) in the future, why sleep is his #1 priority, if I will consider emulating his early bed-time, his choice to adhere to a calorie deficient diet, and more. TIMESTAMPS: Bryan asserts that artificial intelligence is very quickly going to be the best way to care for our health. [04:48] Have we really lost our own free will and do we outsource our decision making? [07:42] We are all addicts to things like processed foods and processed sugar and illegal and legal substances. [11:36] Good sleep is still the number one habit of importance for health. [14:35] Are you open to outsourcing your athletic training and diet decisions to AI? [19:37] Brad discusses Bryan Johnson’s “perfected” diet. [25:43] The caloric restriction studies, as a key to longevity, are entirely based on animals rather than humans. [29:52] The problem of modern society is we, in general, eat too much, store too many calories and burn too few calories. [34:25] Brad describes his dietary practices and training regimen. He disagrees with Johnson. [37:24] Johnson contends that running cold also extends longevity. Brad disagrees. [42:20] The plant-based diet is okay for the right reasons, however, much of the beliefs about it are faulty. [47:07] Brad questions Johnson’s ideas about regimented exercise. It’s all about enjoying your fitness pursuits.
