If I was old I'd simply say: Old age begone!
He just hit the final S in that system
He probably should have taken this medication under the supervision of Dr. Toboggan.
Rapamycin
It's not just "one of many" it was the big one that has a large online following swearing by it, and lots of idiots taking it.
Also I can't see a pic of this guy without thinking of Dennis Reynolds asking if he should wear a mask of his own face.
Every time I think of Dennis Reynolds, I'm reminded of the episode where he tries to sell his car that got stuck in water, and he berates the guy for mentioning how the car isn't even runnable.
Lol he even has "big hair". I bet this guy is a blast to be around. Yikes.
Is he buddy's with Peter thiel and all the vampires that support trump and want to live forever
I'm in my forties and he doesn't look noticeably younger than I do except for my hair being salt and pepper. I don't look exceptionally young or anything, it just doesn't seem like his regimen is really doing anything that diet, exercise, and sunscreen can't also accomplish.
Yeah I remember seeing some stupid post somewhere about this guy saying "can you believe this man is only 45" and everyone in the comments saying "um yes that is what 45 year olds look like."
I can imagine that having a hyperfocus on anti-aging and unstoppably aging at the same time, must be really stressful and at the end of the day, ends up contributing to a faster aging overall.

When you’ve got everything in life and all you want to do is live longer.
instead of helping the billions living in squalor and dying premature deaths.
If he hits on an effective anti-aging treatment from his efforts then he'll help billions that way instead. Pretty much everyone eventually suffers from aging if they live long enough.

At this rate, he can likely claim solitude regarding the premature deaths
Edit: solidarity not solitude. My brain broke this morning.
Lmao the picture of this dude is like Paul Rudd on Star Trek
I ran across a YouTube video of this guy a couple months ago because a popular YT fitness guy (rock climber) I watch went and interviewed him and did some physical 'age tests' with him as well as just talk about his daily routines.
He doesn't come across as batshit crazy in the video, but obviously he's a bit obsessive over this whole thing.
The funniest part about it was that Magnus (Climber) matched or exceeded him in almost all the physical 'age tests' they performed. Of course, Magnus would also outperform most other people in most physical tests but that didn't make it any less humorous. On the "not as batshit as I imagined" list, he also seemed fairly supportive/genuine of Magnus' results/abilities during the video.
Regular physical activity and spending some time outdoors is more beneficial than injecting weird shit, who knew?
You can't fight bad habits with supplements.
I don't believe this guy (Bryan) has a lot of bad habits, his whole life seems to revolve around this life extending plan. I'm not at all defending/justifying him, but he had a pretty good answer regarding what supplements are best when Magnus asked. His response was "The ones you are deficient in"
Again, as I said above, in the linked video he doesn't scream "batshit crazy" but just really eccentric!
He also exercises and eating healthy though. He isn’t just popping pills and pray for the best.
I still can’t believe he took his kid’s blood to try to live longer.
Is it wrong to wish him success in his quest for longevity with a side of quadriplegia?
I’m sure he asked for the blood.
Oh, that’s different then.
It's pretty wild someone like this is so high on his own supply that he bought into his own bullshit.
so high on his own supply
I'm out of the loop, I don't know who he is and I'm not sure I've heard about the drug earlier. But IMO, at least he did that. Instead of only peddling dreams to others for a hefty price
hefty price
If this is the guy I'm thinking of, he's doing both.
Extreme workouts, diets, medical interventions (blood transfusions, etc.), general body weirdness that would be classed as some variety of anorexia nervosa if he were younger and poorer, and a regimen of pills. He's selling the pills.
Oh, and ladies? He's looking to to reenter the dating market. I guess that's neither here nor there, but for some reason he's available!!!
Well, that's kinda my point. At least he's doing both, not only one of those

:D

I'm a man and if I met a woman serious about life extension then I would consider that a positive. It's evidence that she is smart (at least in the high-INT/low-WIS way), motivated, and will always have something strange and new to talk about. Her eccentricity may turn out to be of the sort that makes a serious long-term relationship impossible, but that's a risk that someone who wants to date eccentric people must take.
With that said, I expect that women who think the way I do are quite rare.
Every fiction writer who described dystopian futures in which the wealthy sought life extension in order to continue amassing control and wealth should pat themselves on the back. Yeah, people and the rulers have always wished for life extending magic, but the dystopia factor is spot on.
Dude looks like he's in his late 50's
Well, aren't things peculiar in the Delusionland™️?
I'm glad someone other than me is trying this sort of thing. He bears the risks, but if he succeeds then I share in the benefits.
Same here. It bothers me how many people have come to worship the Dragon-Tyrant and consider this guy to be somehow "selfish" for attempting this.
He wants to be Bob page so bad
He needs to go on a whole foods plant-based diet. It’s good for your skin and health.
IIRC, he already is.
