It's almost like scientists are on to something when they wait for double blind randomizied control trials results before declaring effectiveness of a medicine.

All that money, time and effort in order for a 46 year old to look somewhere in his mid 40s.
Yeah, he looks his age. At least he's relatively healthy, aside from experimenting with those boutique supplements/drugs. It sucks that he pulls in other people into his cult.
Here's how you can do what he wants to do:
- Eat whatever your body tells you, but keep to not eating 1 hr before bed, and make sure to keep protein, nutrients, and minerals you need thru pills/smoothies.
- 5 days a week minimum 1 hr walk.
- Poop daily. There's exercises to help, but a 1 hr walk should get you moving.
- That's really it, you will reduce your biological age because the weak old cells die during exercise. -get to it chubby.
My body tells me to devour six packs of sour gummi bears every afternoon.
Most of the things you read about on this topic are verging on pseudoscience (because nearly everything diet based is) and you're going to have to feel out how it works for you if you want to look into it, but we think the cravings you have are more about what your brain thinks are the best ways to get specific things.
So, while you're craving 'sour gummi bears', what your brain actually wants might be a specific vitamin or mineral that your brain thinks it can get from that and it's likely to have an alternate healthy source. Real hard to put into practice and change how you approach that though.
I just hope that he's got nice decent medical advisors working with actual doctors and medical staff, so that all that money he's throwing at this at least trickles down to people that deserve it.
He's constantly checked with doctors and publishes the results.
Dude is another tech millionaire weirdo but may accidentally stumble upon some good data, maybe. Ordinary Things did a very interesting interview with him. Dude lives purely to hopefully extend his life, it's weird.
Ok, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was probably just time that aged him.
Drugs aside, that time thing is hard to avoid.
No, his body just did that naturally.
This just in, drugs have side effects and aging is very complex.
Dude, get a normal fucking hobby.
IMMORTALITY!
If you're immortal, your can play through ALL normal hobbies - twice!
Check mate, mortal!
The funniest thing about this is that if he just transitioned he’d get ALL SORTS of age reduction benefits! I’ve been taking spironolactone and estradiol for about 9 months now, and everyone keeps asking me if I’m getting younger.
What
Those hormones affect fat distribution, which can make someone appear younger.
Oh
Bet you anything he has not tried plutonium. He should try plutonium. Harry Daghlian will live forever. In our hearts and textbooks.
I would have so much more respect for this douche if he was doing all this in a legitimately scientific way with the purpose of benefiting humanity.
But nope, he's just deeply insecure about aging and is fine with burning money and experimenting on himself in order to feel better about it.
What's wrong with that? He's a millionaire who's experimenting on himself and reporting his findings? Definitely extreme but what value is there in hating the guy?
Let him be insecure and cope how he wants, he's small fry compared to the billionaire problem at hand
yeah exactly, maybe he'll find something useful along the way. At least the rich have (hopefully) stopped their usual "youth restoring" rituals like bathing in infant blood
He injected himself with his sons blood....
ah, nevermind
Don’t forget stealing his child’s blood.
Hey! They consented! Supposedly.
I'll take "Coerced" for $500, Alex.
He could be spending this fortune on real medical research. What an asshole.
He's "only" a centimillionaire, a single clinical trial can cost >$20m.
Why? He's publishing his results, it's a good data point. He's a human trial on safety of some of these drugs. And it's his money after all.
Many of the substances these people try end up being valuable for people with chronic fatigue and related autoimmune diseases.
Does it really matter whether he's driven by selfishness or by the desire to help others? Are all researchers purely altruistic?
Why? He’s publishing his results,
It's quackery though. He's not actually doing good science.
