Wow, just look at the number of pills he takes every day: https://protocol.bryanjohnson.com/#step-2-supplements https://protocol.bryanjohnson.com/#step-2-supplements And then apparently the same dish, every day... definitely a very scientific approach.

Definitely, a much longer list than it should be necessary https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/q/75/i/177f6e6b12f3c2b247d1c631e6a5394b583cf3cb4f52577531c85586a41431f3/Screen-Shot-2022-12-15-at-2.47.41-PM.png https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/q/75/i/177f6e6b12f3c2b247d1...

Yeah I noticed this and was going to mention it. That many supplements is very very odd. Many people have lived very long over the years without resorting to that many pills.

  The "food" in America has never been grown with more fertilizer. It's probably missing all kinds of stuff that would be there otherwise. You can buy and eat only organic and that might help. Even that's no guarantee of nutrient quantity though.

I cant tell if you're being sarcastic but the protocol was developed as the result of his teams reading the latest published literature. I'm not being snarky here but if you have a problem with it, it's the result (by definition) of you not being up to date on what the corpus of science is telling us about nutrition.

  Taking more vitamins than necessary is associated with cancer risk. https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.14694/EdBook_AM.2014.34.e478 https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.14694/EdBook_AM.2014.34.e47...

  His protocol was developed as a result of his team trying anything and everything that might potentially help. "The definition of what the corpus of science is telling us about nutrition" is overselling it. There's a reason the site is plastered with "this is not medical advice" disclaimers.
