Exposing The Many Lies Of Bryan Johnson

Brian Johnson, the anti-aging guru, has been blowing up over the past few years with his outlandish claims that he will live forever and that he's the healthiest man on the planet. For the past few years, I've been spending millions of dollars trying to create a protocol that slows my speed of aging and reversing the aging that has happened. Do you think that you're going to die? No, really? Yeah. I've become the most measured person in in human history. Don't die is a religion; my competitor's Jesus.

Unfortunately for Brian, most of what he says is provably false, and Brian has a long history of blatantly lying to his followers. Some might even go so far as calling Brian an outright scammer. I've been following Brian's various social media accounts for the past few years and would see things that stuck out as odd about many of his claims, but it wasn't until I dug deeper into his story that I really saw just what a house of lies Brian has built for himself. And sadly, he has millions of followers who see him as some sort of anti-aging guru, when in reality he's just pushing overpriced supplements that don't help you reverse aging like he claims. And just recently, Brian decided to start selling NFTs to his audience as well.

Brian claims his goal is to help people live better and healthier lives and potentially live forever. He also claims he never created his Blueprint anti-aging protocol to make money. Explain that to people who are under the impression and maybe feel a bit misled that I'm not here to sell you anything. Oh, but now every meal I eat can be found in this like ready-to-eat processed format. When I started the project, I had no incentive to make money. If that's the case, then why is Brian selling both jewelry and NFTs to his followers? What sort of anti-aging aspect can I receive by buying one of his NFTs? I asked him about that on Twitter but never got a response from him. I guess I'm just not on Brian's level and don't fully understand how buying an NFT helps me live longer.

Brian is worth hundreds of millions of dollars after selling his company to PayPal in 2013, so I'm really not sure why he feels the need to sell NFTs to his audience since he clearly doesn't need the money. Now, the NFTs are just the tip of the grifter iceberg when it comes to Brian Johnson, as I'll show you throughout this video. And I really don't know why Brian is trying to be so manipulative and dishonest about his never-die protocol. As I said before, he's massively wealthy, so it seems like this comes from more of a vanity aspect for him, as he wants to leave his legacy on the human species and be known as the man that changed humanity forever. Whatever the case for why Brian is doing this, much of what he preaches is a lie, and we'll break it all down piece by piece.

Before we go into details about several of Brian's false claims, the first thing I want to touch on is his habit of playing the victim for sympathy. He'll leave comments on Twitter about why he doesn't know why people attack him so much, as he's just trying to do good for humanity. But this isn't the full story. Brian is a master at rage bait; he will often post tweets or Instagram stories that he knows will piss people off, and his intention is to create controversy so more people will talk about him. One of the best examples of this is when Brian Johnson had a transfusion of his son's plasma injected into his body to see if it would help slow his aging process. This obviously drew a lot of criticism, as there is no real evidence this would lower his pace of aging, and there is also a well-known conspiracy theory that many elites do this as well. Brian is well aware of this and started referring to his teenage son as his "blood boy" to play into this. When criticism continued, he decided to take things to the next level and made an Instagram story to play into the criticism: "Tell me I'm feeling a little low. I got you. Thanks." Brian does this intentionally, knowing it will upset people, but ultimately it gets him more attention, which is his real goal.

In January of 2025, Brian put out his worst tweet ever when he tweeted, "Nighttime erection data from my 19-year-old son and me: his duration is 2 minutes longer than mine. Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright." Now, that tweet was almost universally disliked, with even some of Brian's biggest fans like Alex Becker posting in shock and others calling for him to burn in hell or asking the FBI to look into this guy. Needless to say, people were not happy about Brian posting his teenage son's boner stats online, but Brian doesn't seem to care because, in the end, it got him the attention he wanted, with over 34 million views on that one tweet alone. So, next time you hear Brian playing the victim about how he's unfairly being targeted for no reason, do keep in mind that he's just manipulating people and knows exactly what he's doing to get as much attention as possible.

Since November of last year, I've been using this desk you see in all my videos, which was sent to me by the company Flexaspot. I wanted an upgrade over the small wooden desk I was using in my old videos, so I was more than happy to take Flexaspot up on their offer. This desk, which is the E7 Plus standing desk, has been the best sponsorship I have ever taken on the channel and was happy to accept another ad read with the company. The E7 Plus standing desk allows me to film all my videos seated, and then when I want to work on a script, I can raise the height to standing level so I don't have to sit all day long. This top-of-the-line desk comes with a four-legged rockolid design and features motors to raise the desk. The motors are so smooth I can even stand quarters on their side and raise the desk without them ever falling over. On top of the smoothness of the motors, they're also incredibly powerful and have a 540 lb static capacity, which is more than enough to lift my big butt straight up into the sky without any effort at all. The desk is compatible with loads of accessories available on the website as well and even features a USB charger on the keypad for your convenience. Flexaspot has a wide selection of chairs and desks to choose from on their website, but personally, the E7 Plus is my favorite.

Click the link below to get yours now and experience the ultimate in stability and performance. Thanks again to Flexaspot for being a continued valuable sponsor of the channel.

The first of Brian's claims I want to debunk is his very obvious clickbait comment that he's going to live forever. He's gone on many different podcasts making this claim, and this one line is, I think, why he gets so much attention because it sounds so outlandish that this one man thinks he can live forever when everyone who came before him has died. "Do you think that you're going to die? No, really?" He spouts off this nonsense for clicks and views, but the more you dig into it, you'll see that he's just lying for attention. On a much smaller podcast run by comedian Bill Maher, Brian did come clean and fess up to the fact that he believes he will die. "I know I'm going to die by the most ridiculous thing possible. It is, it is really yes. Like, how can that not be true? Well, because irony. I mean, irony always wins." The nonsense that he spouts for attention about never dying is something that Brian himself doesn't believe is true, once again saying and doing things purely for attention. Brian knows that nothing he's currently doing in his Blueprint protocol will extend his life by more than a few years and has even talked about how the only real chance for eternal life is if artificial intelligence can come up with some new technology to alter human DNA, basically admitting that everything he's currently doing is a waste of time and purely for attention.

The next issue with Brian Johnson is probably one of the most severe because it could possibly lead to many of his customers getting very sick by using his products without realizing what's really going on. Brian follows a vegan diet that he believes is the best for longevity and anti-aging. He started selling his Blueprint protocol to his followers as a complete kit that contains all the minerals, vitamins, and supplements you need to copy his routine. The Blueprint stack will run you $325 for a month's worth of everything you need. The important thing to note about this plan is that it's completely vegan. If you know anything about a long-term vegan diet, there is one vitamin that you can't typically get from vegan foods, and that is vitamin B12. B12 primarily comes from animal products like meat or dairy, and if you don't consume any B12, you can start to develop a long list of side effects like fatigue, cognitive problems, depression, anemia, heart palpitations, and the list goes on and on. Now, most vegans know they need to supplement with B12, and it's easy to do that with pills or fortified vegan foods. Many vegans loved Brian's Blueprint Protocol because it was vegan and provided the needed B12 in the Blueprint essential capsules as part of the stack. Everyone who followed the protocol took it. Unfortunately, it turns out Brian wasn't being as honest as he claims to be, and a user posted to the official Blueprint subreddit the certificate of analysis that was on Brian's website for the essential capsules that showed there was no detectable B12 in the product at all.

What makes matters worse is this certificate of analysis was up on the Blueprint site for nearly 8 months before anyone realized Brian's team was selling these products with undetectable amounts of B12 in them. This is incredibly dangerous for any vegans who were following the Blueprint protocol, as they trusted they were getting their needed B12 from Brian's products. This set off a wildfire of upset customers in Brian's subreddit. One guy said, "Agreed, this is quite embarrassing. I always try to defend Brian where I can, as he often receives unwarranted hate, but this is something to be objectively critical about; needs fixing." Another user said, "This is 1,000% unacceptable. B12 deficiency is serious; this is not a minor mistake here. Also, they knew about this, hence the COA, so knowingly selling a product while labeling it otherwise is extremely immoral considering the damage B12 deficiency can cause." Another user realized that the COA had other issues, stating, "It has 3x the promised selenium, though get your levels checked; I was at 97 percentile, way above normal, and it was causing health issues." Now, you would expect a quality company to quickly fix this problem and not leave up a certificate of analysis for 8 months which shows the product has no B12. As more people began to dig up inconsistencies on the COAs of Brian's other products, the team decided to remove all certificates of their products on the website so they can no longer be looked at, with a message stating that it's "coming soon." This was true up until March 19th, 2025, when the website was finally updated and many of the certificates were finally readded to some of the products. As soon as the new COAs were added, people on Brian's own subreddit quickly pointed out even more issues with this product, showing that the cadmium levels were too high for his cocoa powder to be sold in the European Union. This looks especially bad for Brian as he put out an entire video talking about how his cocoa powder is some of the best in the world, but it turns out it actually has more heavy metals in it than many other brands you can find cheaper on the market. "Okay, so you're convinced that cocoa is good for you, but before you buy, be aware that cocoa can have high levels of heavy metals. It naturally has this, but they need to be tested, and what you need to be aware of is most companies don't share the results of heavy metals. You don't know how much you're consuming, and they don't have any guarantees. There are no guarantees, and so it's important if you're going to buy cocoa, know the levels and know the appropriate serving size because too many heavy metals is not good for you. This is why it's so important to know what you're eating and to have quantified data on the cleanliness and the positive benefits."

Now, what makes matters worse about this whole situation is that Brian put out a video trashing his competition, AG1, 6 months ago. In that video, he goes over how you can't trust AG1 at all, but you can trust him because they post all the COAs and are completely transparent. At the same time Brian was trashing his competitor, he was selling vegans a product that claimed to have B12, but the certificate clearly stated it didn't. I guess Brian doesn't really believe in that whole bit about being honest and transparent. "The point is, AG1 is not what it's hyped to be; it's overpriced, it's overpromised, and it does not deliver the value you think it's delivering. Now, to give you an idea on how we approach transparency, we list every single ingredient we have and the exact dose, and we post the COAs, which means a third-party lab tests our ingredients, and they have that summary sheet. We post that; everything's transparent. Everything's transparent. Everything's transparent."

One of the many talking points Brian likes to constantly bring up is that he has the slowest speed of aging in the entire world. So, Brian is claiming that based on tests he's done that his current speed of aging is 48, which means that his biological birthday now comes every 2 years. He uses this talking point to sell a lot of products and ads on Facebook and other platforms, but when asked about the speed of aging test he takes, he admits that it really means nothing at all and it's just a fun game that really shouldn't be taken all that seriously. "I think people who do speed of aging tests that I'm aware of realize it's an emergent field; it's interesting; we don't know exactly where it's going; it's kind of a fun game; it's a it's a game of curiosity: where am I at? How do I compare? But I don't see anyone thinking that this is replacement for any serious medical uh assessment that would conclude their true risk factors. They've never been used to test future lifespan. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't assert like you're Okay, so like, given that is the case, how much confidence can we have about it being a predictive tool that's of any utility? Yeah, none. It's a fun game to play." To me, it seems very hypocritical to use this talking point to sell your products when in a podcast he admits it's just a fun game that means nothing.

To take things further, on the Blueprint website, they use Brian's pace of aging as a main selling point for all of their products, which implies that these products can help you slow your age just like Brian did. Unfortunately, that's all a bunch of bull, and the Blueprint Protocol won't help you decrease your aging at all, according to some who have tried it. Sierra Clark, a fitness YouTuber who followed Brian's Blueprint protocol for 180 days to see what would happen, took the speed of aging test, and the results were disappointing to say the least. "This is Brian Johnson, and we've done his Blueprint routine for 180 days. You ready for this? No. Yes. Let's go. I'm trying to get onto the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard. What's it look like? It's good. No. 0.95. My first score was 0.93; my second score at 90 days was 0.94, and my final score at 180 days is 0.95. Obviously, that's disappointing. Yeah, I did everything within my power to literally follow a set plan, the protocol, move forward, improve my speed of aging as much as possible." Brian Johnson does hundreds of different experiments on his body with things like hyperbaric chambers, stem cell injections, having his plasma replaced, and taking a bunch of drugs not on the Blueprint protocol. All of those have way more impact on lowering his speed of aging for these tests than his Blueprint protocol ever will, and the program he sells shouldn't be marketed as a way to help lower your speed of aging when it very clearly doesn't do that. In my opinion, this seems like very sketchy advertising at best and borderline illegal marketing based on the claims they can't really back up about what their products can help you achieve.

Now, to make matters worse, Brian has created an entire game around the anti-aging test that proves nothing, known as the Rejuvenation Olympics. This website allows you to buy anti-aging tests, and once you've bought three of them, you can compare your speed of aging score against the leaderboard on the website. Currently, Brian Johnson is number one on the leaderboard, but that hasn't always been the case. When I was doing research for this video, I came across a Reddit thread on Brian's subreddit titled "The Rejuvenation Olympics are dishonest." In the thread, it goes over how Brian was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, and they were going to mention his Rejuvenation Olympics in the article. Shortly before the article came out, Brian changed the rules on the rankings to pump up his score and lower the rankings of others above him on the list. Now, people can say anything on Reddit, so I had to look at the website on Wayback Machine, and the website has gone through a lot of changes recently, but it does look like what they are saying is true. On the main page of the site dated June 4th, 2024, it has Brian listed in seventh place, right below David Pasco, who is a health guru competitor to Brian, and right above Julie Gibson Clark, who was mentioned in the Reddit post. The next time the webpage was archived was on June 26th, where we see the page was redesigned, and now Brian is ranked third, two spots ahead of his competitor David Pascow, and Julie Gibson Clark has been completely kicked off the leaderboards. To me, that seems incredibly fishy that the uh Rejuvenation Olympics get a site redesign, and the only one that seems to have benefited is Brian Johnson. Let me know in the comments below if you think that was just an odd coincidence or if something shady was really going on.

Brian Johnson's main claim is that he's doing all of this to live longer and potentially reach the point of immortality. A lot of people have questioned his appearance, with his ivory white skin tone and his obviously dyed hair, but Brian has claimed he's never done anything for appearance and it's all about longevity. "And we've just followed the data and the science, and so when you see my appearance evolve, it's just we're following data and science. We do nothing about appearance like that is proactive; we just say, 'How can I drive this process of aging to the slowest possible rate and reverse aging damage?' So it really is just like a real-time live science experiment." Unfortunately, that's a complete lie. Brian does many things to alter his appearance that have no benefit for his potential longevity. I like to dub this his "vanity protocol," which goes against his claim that he does all this to live longer and in some cases even takes drugs that could hurt his longevity simply to try and make himself look younger.

One video that intrigued me when he posted it was the video titled "How I Reverse My Hair Loss Plus Graying." Now, a little context about me is that I'm 36 years old, and almost to the day I turned 35, I started to notice gray hairs appearing in my beard and on the side of my head. I'm not ready to be an old gray-bearded man, so when I saw a video from Brian claiming to have found a way to naturally restore the color to your hair, I was definitely interested. The hair-dyeing market for both men and women is in the billions of dollars, and if Brian found a way to naturally restore colors to people's gray hairs, that would be a multi-billion dollar discovery. Brian has claimed multiple times that he does not dye his hair and even makes that claim in this video at the 3-minute and 30-second spot. "Now, many people have said, 'I dye my hair.' I actually don't. Uh, going to the salon, using a chemical process, I did that before in my 30s. I haven't done that for the past year or so." Brian is a master of doublespeak and will often say things he knows are not true. In this particular case, just a minute later in the video, Brian tells us the two chemicals he uses to dye his hair. His claim that he doesn't dye his hair is somehow true to him because he doesn't use traditional hair dyes you buy in the store and is using a natural supplement. "So I'm going to show you the two formulations I use. One of them has an herbal extract which has a color, and that's what you see in my hair. One is GR7; this is a company in the UK that makes this. In addition to GR7 is uh Myrai; this is the one that has the herbal extract that has some color as part of the formulation." The two products he's using are both hair dyes, but he claims that since they see color changing at the root, it's actually reversing the natural hair color, but this simply isn't true. One of the products he mentions is called GR7, which is a product from the UK that makes dubious claims about restoring natural hair color, but some of the ingredients listed are known to be used as hair dye. Tyrosine, for example, has an entire article by Science Direct that goes over how it can be deposited on the hair to be used as dye. The other product he's using, My Rocky, makes similar claims about reversing the graying process naturally but uses ingredients that also dye hair, like Gala Royas Galnut extract. Fortunately, it seems like Brian's own followers aren't buying into the story that these two products actually restore your natural hair color, as his own subreddit is filled with people calling this video out. "It appears that My Iraqi is just dying your hair over a long period of time. GR7 is similar to Grecian formula; it's a chemical reaction between a metal salt to sulfur which produces the stain that coats the hair. Like Grecian, it doesn't look good or natural; it's oversaturated, dull, and lifeless looking on Brian. It's giving the wrong tone to his skin tone, which is adding to his off look. He'd look much better if he used normal hair dye in a gray blending technique using lighter shades. The other one he uses seems to be a henna product which equally just coats the hair." I would love for anyone in the comments to give me a logical reason as to why you need to dye your hair to live longer. This is very clearly done purely for vanity reasons to look younger, which goes against Brian's saying about not doing anything for appearance sake. "We do nothing about appearance like that is proactive; we just say, 'How can I drive this process of aging to the slowest possible rate?'"

The other claim Brian makes in this video is that he should be completely bald, but he reversed his hair loss. Now, this claim is partially true, and there are known chemicals on the market that can reverse hair loss; however, Brian hasn't reversed his hair loss to the extent he wants you to believe he has. In all the videos he shows of himself, he looks like he has a full head of hair, but Netflix did a documentary on Brian released at the start of the year, and in shots from the documentary, you can clearly see that he still has significant hair loss in the back. Brian does a few different things for hair loss like red light therapy, which does have some known benefits for hair growth, but Brian also uses a chemical called minoxidil, which is the active ingredient in Rogaine. Minoxidil and finasteride in Propecia are two well-known drugs that both help with hair loss by different means. Now, if you want to use either of these drugs to reverse your hair loss, I'm not going to judge normal people for doing that; however, Brian claims that everything he is doing is to live healthier and potentially never die, and minoxidil isn't a drug that you should be using lightly if you are trying to live as healthy as possible. Minoxidil has many side effects, including chest pain, fainting, irregular heartbeat, headaches, lightheadedness, swelling, and even rapid weight gain. Now, again, if you want to take this drug to help with hair loss, that's a personal choice for you to make, but taking a drug purely for a vanity metric to regrow hair goes against Brian's claims of not doing things for just appearance. Everything mentioned in his hair regrowth and anti-graying video, which received over two million views, is purely for vanity, and that proves that once again Brian is a liar. "We do nothing about appearance like that is proactive; we just say, 'How can I drive this process of aging to the slowest possible rate?'"

One of Brian's main components to his anti-aging protocol is caloric restriction. He consumes less calories than his body needs daily in the belief that this has life-extending principles. The data on that is uh questionable at best, but one thing that is known is that significant caloric restriction can lead to lower levels of testosterone being produced by the body. This is an issue Brian had to deal with personally in the past when he started a caloric-restricted diet, and in his earlier videos on YouTube, he admits to taking testosterone replacement therapy in the form of patches he would wear on his leg. "And then you saw there, I I have a testosterone patch; that's an AndroDerm 2 milligrams patch, which delivers, I think uh, is it nine milligrams of testosterone, something like that? Yeah, I can never remember this one. Yeah, so it's we so with the caloric restriction of doing less than 2,000 calories, my testosterone dropped to in the 4 to 500 range, and so we started supplementing with the AndroDerm 2 milligrams patch. Yeah, so I think you had the free testosterone index of age 70 equivalent or so. So this is just keeping it in the normal range; it's not we're not doing like uh testosterone above the normal range, which is basically not healthy; it's just keeping in the normal range to reduce that biological age of pretestosterone index to from 70 to around in the 40s." Now, keep in mind, this is the man that tells everyone he is the healthiest human on the planet. "Though I'm the healthiest person in the entire world. Why the healthiest human on the planet needs to take TRT to maintain normal levels of testosterone while many men do just fine with their own body's production, I'm not really sure." I think Brian realized it was a bad look for him to have to be on TRT while claiming he's the healthiest man on the planet, so about a year ago, he announced he was now off of TRT and his body was producing all the testosterone he now needs.

Brian's currently publicly shared testosterone levels are quite high for someone his age and in a caloric-restrictive state, which has led to many people claiming Brian is still taking testosterone replacement therapy. However, Brian has publicly said on Twitter that he's not on TRT anymore. This doesn't sit well with many people in the health field who believe Brian is lying, with one doctor, Paul Saladino, getting into a beef with Brian, telling him to post his LH/FSH to prove he's not on TRT. For those who don't know what that is, it's two hormones known as luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. These are produced by the pituitary gland to regulate the production of testosterone in the testes, and when someone is on TRT, it suppresses these hormones to extremely low levels because the body senses enough testosterone is being produced, so it shuts down production in the testes. A very simple way for Brian to prove he's no longer on TRT would be for him to release a blood test showing his LH and FSH levels. Fortunately, it would be very easy to do this since Brian's own company, Blueprint Protocol, sells a blood test that gives both these results for the low price of only $150. So, has Brian released this information and shut down those haters? No, of course not. Why would Brian take a simple test by his own company to show what he's saying isn't a lie? Everyone should just believe him. "People don't lie on the internet, guys." Jokes aside, More Plates More Dates, who has a massive YouTube channel about fitness and steroids, asked Brian why he hasn't released this info yet, and his answer was very interesting. "LH and FSH, how did those change from 1950 to 2250? We just got that data back. I forget." That podcast was on December 13th, 2024, and as of March 2025, Brian still hasn't released his LH and FSH to his biomarkers page, so I guess that test...

Guys, it it must have got lost in the mail. I guess we'll all just have to take Brian's word that he's not on TRT, since he doesn't want to provide any evidence to back up that claim. Everything's transparent. Everything's transparent. Everything's transparent. At this point, we now need to talk about Brian's Johnson on social media.

Brian loves to talk about how he has healthier erections than the average 18-year-old, and he loves to talk about his erections on every podcast he goes on. To put this in context, my nighttime erections are the length of the Titanic—the movie, not the boat—and that is better than an average 18-year-old. A lot of people think it's weird that he's constantly talking about his erections, and to be honest, it is. There is some truth to why he's measuring this, because men who experience less erections—specifically erections which happen naturally as you sleep—tend to have poorer health results, and it can be an early sign of heart disease as well. The main reason Brian has been talking about it so much is because it gets him tons of attention. Brian has been using a tracking device he wears on his Johnson to get his nighttime erection data. As all men cycle through having erections when they sleep, he had his teenage son wear the device as well, and this is where his infamous tweet of measuring his son's wood comes from.

Brian proudly posts on his website that he has the top 1% erections in the entire world and uses this selling point to help push his products. However, once again, Brian isn't being completely truthful with this statement. My prostate, for normal size, it it still is. As you age, you get a bigger prostate. I also start taking Tadalafil, which uh, basically offsets that bladder enlargement. In that clip, Brian says he's taking Tadalafil to help with his prostate, but what Brian doesn't mention is that Tadalafil is the active ingredient in the erectile dysfunction medication called Cialis. She's still the one for you. And Cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. Many people who have never used ED meds may not fully understand how they work, so let me break it down for you. People often think that ED meds give you erections, which isn't true. What they actually do, in the simplest term, is relax the blood vessels, which can allow more blood to get to your wood. So, ED meds make it easier to get erections, and often you get much harder erections than you would naturally. Now, other drugs like Viagra and Levitra use a different chemical that only lasts for about 4 hours. However, Tadalafil, which is the active ingredient in Cialis, lasts for a total of 36 hours. What this means is that the Tadalafil is still helping Brian get rock-hard erections while he is monitoring his wood in his sleep. So basically, Brian Johnson is taking performance-enhancing drugs for his wood and also lying to millions of people about it. But you can't go to sleep and work hard at having arousal cycles. You can't try to have good boners; it just happens. And so it's a default representation of your health, and so it really is like you can't fake it. You can't fake it. I also start taking she's still the one for you.

It's incredibly deceptive for Brian to tell everyone he has the best erections in the world when this has nothing to do with his basic blueprint protocol and mostly has to do with taking erectile medication. To put that into context, that would be like if a clearly roided-out man started telling everyone he was completely natural, and if you wanted to get just as jacked as him, all you had to do was buy all his supplements. Of course, no one would ever do that because that would be a complete lie. Brian will often present himself as an expert when he goes on podcasts with people he knows don't know anything about the anti-aging industry or medical field. He'll make claims he knows he can't back up, but since he won't receive any pushback, he just says whatever he wants, and everyone just accepts him as the anti-aging guru you should trust. For example, when he went on the podcast Diary of a CEO, he made outlandish claims about extra virgin olive oil being better than Ozempic to help you lose weight. It's better than Ozempic, really. It is. So, for example, there's a study where people lost 5.2 lbs uh, taking EVO, consuming EVO for 9 weeks. Brian was quoting a study for this statement, but it turns out Brian misread the entire study, and the real reason people in this project lost weight was because they were cutting calories, and those using extra virgin olive oil in their food compared to those that use soybean oil lost more weight. So Brian has no idea what he's talking about, once again.

Now, when Brian went on a podcast of someone who actually knows about the health field, Derek from More Plates More Dates, he questioned him on that claim, to which Brian admitted he didn't do enough research and doesn't know what he's talking about. You mentioned there was a study where individuals consumed extra virgin olive oil for 9 weeks and lost 5.2 lbs, and it was in addition to what they're currently eating. It's better than Ozempic. You know what that was before we went through the process. And so when I did that podcast and we started going through the whole process, like, "Oh my god, I really should have cleaned up my language." Okay, so yeah, that was before. I have to give a lot of credit to More Plates More Dates because he's one of the only interviews I've seen with Brian Johnson where he actually questions him on a lot of the information he's putting out, as opposed to most other channels that just fellate Brian Johnson like he's some sort of health guru god, which he isn't. Derek questioned many of the supplements Brian Johnson's team was putting out, and Brian, not knowing anything about what he's selling, would constantly respond with, "I don't know." Well, that's a good question. Now, do you have to like add synthetic micros into it to like achieve the like pseudo equivalency or is it yielded through natural means? It's a good question. I don't know. What is the differential on? I don't know. Glucose spikes, for example, or like ability to process it well and digest it well. Is there any notable difference? But yeah, it's a good question uh, from that perspective. I don't know. Is this the only human study on alpha-ketoglutarate, or is it based on like what is the literature we're pointing to to find the utility in it to be as part of like a daily stack? Yeah, I don't know. Okay, how do we justify this as an everyday thing that we're going to utilize? Yeah, I don't know. The comprehensive evidence justification for it in here, it's in the essential capsules, and if it was bioavailable in generic non-patented format, like I would love to use that myself, but I've avoided it because I thought it just didn't absorb. Have you found otherwise? Or yeah, also I don't know.

It's clear to me that Brian Johnson knows very little about anti-aging and just seems to be a lab rat throwing anything at the wall to see if anything will work. I really don't understand why anyone takes this guy seriously, since most of what he says can be proven false or misleading in some way. Now, I know some of his fans will say, "I'm just being a hater, and he's trying to make the human species better." But if he's putting out false info and blatantly lying to people about many of his statistics, then that needs to be called out. I actually like the anti-aging biohacking space and feel it can provide a lot of helpful info for people to live happier and healthier lives if the information is accurate. I've actually been wearing a sleep-tracking ring for about 6 months now to monitor my sleep, which is one of the best things people should be tracking to monitor their health. I've been doing little experiments on my health with different food I eat and eventually realized that fasting before bed—meaning not eating anything 5 hours before I sleep—has been incredibly beneficial to my total sleep time and quality of sleep. This one thing has made a huge impact on my life, and I'm looking for more ways to try and improve my life as well. So I'm not against the anti-aging industry if they put out helpful, truthful information, but unfortunately, Brian Johnson doesn't do any of that and just seems to want to constantly lie to people to present himself as the healthiest man on earth, when that's clearly just a bunch of lies.
