Do you take any supplements?

Does anyone follow Bryan Johnson?

After selling his company and becoming rich, he's dedicated himself to the persuit of life extension and has spent 2-3 million dollars experimenting.

He's definitely a bit mad. Just his daily supplement list alone of 100+ pills is insane... It's all rather interesting though.

On the surface, Blueprint may seem something about health, wellness and aging. It's really a system to make tomorrow better for you, me, the planet and our shared future with AI.

Bryan Johnson

Bryan Johnson is the world's most measured human. Johnson sold his company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Through his Project Blueprint, Johnson has achieved metabolic health equal to the top 1.5% of 18 year olds, inflammation 66% lower than the average 10 year old, and reduced...

Ah yes I wouldn't be without my Ninja or my red wine (or as @mid_gen calls it, poison)

Ooh, same model I bought!

Any tips when using it?

I made some chunky soup today for the first time, absolutely delicious.

Do you mainly add boiled water to the veggies?

tbh i take from the freezer, microwave and maybe add a tin of tomatoes for the fluid content or even the chick pea juice, adding frozen lowers the final heat too much i find , but yeah boiled water will do it

Has anyone here done a proper detox?

And by detox I mean actually chelating toxins and not just inducing mad diarrhoea by downing pints of kale juice.

Thats 17g a day, it's not exactly a big amount. If replacing butter, then you probably use that much butter a day if you have a couple of slices of bread/toast.

butter is far healthier than something that is ultraprocessed.

I read some research recently that seems to show that life expectancy is slowing down. Many theories about it most of them are way beyond my knowledge but it's fascinating nonetheless.

I have an uneducated theory about this. The ‘Boomer’ generation had the benefit of decent locally farmed whole foods, no major societal pressures(social media, isolation) etc etc with all the advancements of modern medicine into their old age. Our generations on the other hand live in complete abundance, ultra processed, sugar filled diets with every imaginable mental health disorder and environmental pollutant. Its easy to over consume(and i dont mean being overweight) without thinking about the consequences.

Back on topic, I don’t take any supplements, even when I was training 4-5 days per week for 10+ years, just ate properly. Not out of disapproval, I just don’t like the stomach bloating(whey, multivits) and bloods always checked out so don’t see the point. I did try and take cod liver but again, a slight bit of bloat isn’t worth it.

I see some people saying glucosomine is working well for them. Around 20-25 years ago, GPs would prescribe it for joint pain. But is was then removed from the prescription list, I had assumed there had been more up to date studies that didn't validate the presumed benefits, but maybe it was dropped for another reason.

It's definitely available on the NHS up here, friend of my dad mentioned he was getting it for his knees.
