I actually quite like his content, and I consider myself generally wary of marketers and content creators.
I find most of his videos, which typically follow the format of "I conducted experiment X on myself; here are the results," useful and digestible without being overly pushy about selling his Blueprint product.
The sample size = 1 person (himself) casts doubt on a lot of his findings, but I've still made some lifestyle changes after watching his videos. I finish eating earlier, and anecdotally feel better. I've leaned toward eating more healthy nuts and extra-virgin olive oil, and I've also purchased a sleep tracker.
I have not made any Blueprint purchases.
- road_to_freedom 2y agoWhich sleep tracker? Watches aren't accurate.
- olives 2y agoI use Withings (a pad that you put under your mattress) because I can't stand wearing anything when I sleep. Seems ok according to this analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHS8bweLcxQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHS8bweLcxQ
- the_clarence 2y agoThe whoop. I recently compared it with an actual sleep apnea test and the REM is not accurate at all. But it is interesting to see tendencies (drinking alcohol really messes up with your sleep, winter increases your REM, etc.)
- lend000 2y agoWhoop is definitely not accurate for sleep data, but it's great for exercise and there's certainly value in seeing trends.
- brookst 2y agoAccurate or precise? Scales can be useful even if not accurate, so long as they are reasonably precise. Same for sleep tracking watches.
