If you look at his regimen, which he documented extensively, it is actually very thorough and well-researched. There is very little to criticize in there, given his goals. It is a refreshing contrast to all the many people in this field who are pushing a quack diet to sell books, or who have rejected the scientific method and decided that "natural" means good. This is the opposite of that. He has all the money he needs and just wants to actually figure out how to make himself as healthy as possible, using the best science. https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.co/ https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.co/

Certainly not the most ridiculous regiment, but far too many supplements and a team of 30 doctors, seems like the goal is a medical accident. If he deducts all the time that goes into this how many years has he gained (or lost?)

  Most of the medical stuff looks like testing. The only pharmaceutical I see is metformin. Which part of this is extreme or likely to lead to problems? I realize that even testing is not harmless, but the main problem would be inaccurate test results requiring more tests. And since he is a millionaire who is obsessed with this stuff, I don't think he is too troubled by the time and money spent on testing.

Broccoli, Lentils, and Mushrooms for lunch every day sounds a little repetitive. Lunch could just as easily be a different soup or stew every day, with a lot more variety. Instead he appears to be blending it into a gazpacho.

I think the thing to critique is the goal. The stated goal isn't to be as healthy and happy as possible, it's to look 18. That's a fools errand.

The -3F body temperature drop is a huge red flag to me. This is a pretty common thing you see from excessive exercise with too low a calorie intake, it suppresses liver T3 production and you get effectively a bit hypothyroid.
