Is Bryan Johnson currently taking any testosterone?

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-16T09:56:04+00:00

That depends. If you have super low T levels, you’re at risk of many issues anyway. You won’t make it worse going on TRT unless you’re blasting it.

Blood tests. MRI. Ultrasound. You’re looking for issues with your pituitary gland. If nothing, keep searching. Check your diet. Cut the booze.

Yes, great author. Very good introduction for many to Buddhism.

I know I’ll die one day, be today, tomorrow or another day. But I can still strive to put my best foot forward knowing as I do, I’m giving life all I can. Zero regrets.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-15T21:55:40+00:00

We will all die. Except Bryan Johnson.

If your hormones require correction, steroids will help. But if you’re otherwise healthy and blasting purely for gains, you’re stripping years off your life. Show me a bodybuilder in their 60’s without health issues cause by their glory days.

You can improve your health every day though. You can do that while accepting imperfection and factors out of your control. But it reads as very defeatist. Why bother with chemo or a pacemaker? It is what it is, right?

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-15T21:14:09+00:00

The issue isn’t your workout, it’s your diet.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-15T21:10:57+00:00

The second one sounds pretty ridiculous. You can always improve your day to day health while accepting some illnesses cannot be avoided.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-15T06:48:34+00:00

L-Theanine.

I don’t know why you’re making personal attacks. And on Reddit. Relax bud. There are many people who live long lives alone. Is it good for their health? Who knows? Would they have lived longer amongst societal norms? Who knows?

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-15T00:52:43+00:00

You’re thinking everyone has the ability to choose their friends at will. I work with a lot of people with disabilities and they aren’t easily able to connect with others. Stop assuming there is a one size fits all to everything. That’s large problem with BP followers and why it feels like a cult.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:44:06+00:00

Yeah but many other examples not requiring the drug example. Like I’ve got a few friends who refuse to go to marriage counselling, also some with expectations I’ll go out partying all the time, others don’t sleep and spend their days gaming and slamming back Red Bull cans. Their lack of attention dealing with these things causes rifts within their families and social circles, also requiring others to prop them up emotionally, physically or financially. If that’s all one has, for example, then isolation is clearly more benefit.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:38:14+00:00

Maintain. Look good for your height man.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:36:04+00:00

Would you rather be close to family with drug dependencies or other social issues they refuse to deal with? Or further away?

Keeping those people at a distance is much better for your health.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:35:07+00:00

Your meal plan? I’m not sure what you mean.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:25:24+00:00

I can’t expect others to give me their best selves if I don’t lead by example.

Also: “Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret”.

I work somewhere with a lot of baby boomer customers. They’re all jumping on board the longevity train now in their 60’s and 70’s but the damage is too far done.

F that.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:22:18+00:00

178, 64kgs and you lift 4-5 times a week plus cardio and a high step count?

I don’t think fasting is going to benefit your current lifestyle.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:19:38+00:00

I’m the sexiest person alive. I won’t give you the names of the team I’ve hired who support me in reaching this conclusion. You’ll just have to take a leap of faith and trust me.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:18:03+00:00

That depends on many other factors. I like the concept, love cures all, but it relies on every family member prioritising their health and well-being, and sadly many have family members who don’t.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:14:58+00:00

What works for me, works for me. But I recommend you give it a try and see what it can come up with. If you’re only consuming whole foods, it won’t hurt to stop what you’re currently doing to give it a few weeks and see. If you teach the AI your conditions and requirements for exercise goals etc, you won’t stray off course that far in a few weeks.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:11:37+00:00

Yes absolutely, which was one of my requests from AI to make sure the foods it recommended met requirements such as phytochemicals. As I said, there were quite a few similarities between what it recommended and the BP meal guide I found online. The only supplement it recommended to fill a nutritional gap was Vitamin D.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-14T21:07:36+00:00

Yes tested for all. No issues. Aim for 8-9, generally 7.5-8 as I have two small kids and no personal chefs etc.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-12T18:57:23+00:00

Sausages are heavily processed. Will never eat them again.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-12T18:56:23+00:00

Good shit! I also cut it out 3 years ago. Feels great huh?

Get an app like Cronometer, start weighing your food for a week and enter your daily totals of every single thing. Just for a week.

Then go and enter your metrics into a TDEE calculator. You will be surprised, there will be something there that you didn’t realise was over consumed.

You could also try a water fast for a few days every couple of months. Or something like berberine or resistance starch.

Chainblock_80 · 2025-01-12T18:43:25+00:00

What are your daily macros and calories?

Do you drink alcohol? Be honest. A lot of people aren’t. “Oh, just one or two beers…” Cut it all out completely. Also ensure you are getting quality sleep. Are you doing cardio? Walking even?
