So you are like an 18 year old except you can't have any fun. Why would you want to live like this? You can't ever go to a party, have a drink, or go to a restaurant? Thank you, but I'll stick to eating healthy, exercising, and living my life.

Patient: Doctor I want to live to 100!
Dr: First stop smoking
Patient: Ok I can do that
Dr: Next stop eating red meat
Patient: Sure, that too
Dr: No more alcohol
Patient getting uncomfortable: Ok ok fine
Dr: Go to bed early and get 8-9 hours uninterrupted sleep
Patient: hmm
Dr: And finally, cut out sugar, don't eat so much and do a lot more excercise
Patient: Ok ok ok, and will I then live to 100?
Dr: Eh... probably not but, it will feel like it.
A man is concerned about his health and longevity, so he visits his doctor.
Man: "Doctor, I am concerned about dying before my time. Am I okay?"
Doctor: "Do you smoke?"
Man: "No"
Doctor: "Do you drink wine or beer?"
Man: "No"
Doctor: "Do you stay up late?"
Man: "No"
Doctor: "Do you eat rare red meat?"
Man: "No"
Doctor: "Do you have sex with many partners?"
Man: "No"
Doctor: "Then why the fuck do you care?"
OLD MAN: Look at me, son. I don't moke. I don't drink. I don't take drugs. I don't eat fatty food. I don't chase after women. And tomorrow I celebrate my hundredth birthday!
YOUNG MAN: How?
I think there's an in-between. Getting sleep. Fasting. Exercise. Avoiding sugar.
He's on metformin, taking 1500mg in the morning of an extended release, and 500mg extended release in the evening. Normal dosage for this is 500mg/day. Extended release means they stay in his system for 24 hours, no reason to take it in two doses, much less take 4x the normal amount.
He's also on Acarbose, another diabetic med. The recommended dosing for this is 50mg 3 times per day and hes' taking two 200mg doses. This makes no sense, your body eliminates it quickly, halflife of 2 hours. It's also 6x the standard dose.
He's also on Rapamycin, a cancer med or organ transplant med that is immunosupressive. Standard dose is 2mg/day. He's taking 13mg twice a week.
He's also taking Testesterone 6 of 7 days of the week, and half your standard does. Total nonsense.
This guy is going to wreck his kidney and liver with these meds, put himself at high risk of infection and disrupt his endocrine system. And that's just with his prescriptions, not even examining his supplements.
All this to brag that he's as fit as an "18 year old" whatever the fuck that means. I too could probably get "fit as an 18 year old" if I were taking steroids like testosterone and exercised every day. Hell, I be you could too, and probably without the testosterone.
This is the last guy I'd listen to for longevity treatments.
There is no research on taking a powerful immunosuppressant pharmaceutical for the next 40 years for "longevity".
Not to mention testosterone. At least testosterone will make you feel great while you actually shorten your life in the name of longevity.

29-year-old physician? Did he complete medical school and his residency? Give me a break.
Lazarus is laughing at this man.
A quote from page 3 of my edition: "WHERE'S MY SUIDICE SWITCH?"
I realize this was a typo, but now I'm imagining a Russian roulette-type game, but with dice.
2d6, passed back and forth. First to roll a 7 "wins".
Chances of 1/6 chambers look similar to (2d6) = 7
Shortly after there was an exchange that went something like:
Person 1: "He said his suicide switch is missing?"
Person 2: "Yeah, we had to remove it. He kept pressing it."
> Thank you, but I'll stick to eating healthy, exercising, and living my life.
While it may be nonsense if your goal is solely prolonging life, avoiding meat seems like a relatively easy way to reduce your risk of becoming worthless to society and yourself; virtually everyone can agree that dementia is something to avoid.

So, vanishingly rare. Enough to be an irrelevance.
Prion disease incidence is 1 to 2 cases per million people per year. You'd have to have millions of 7th day adventists submitting to research to be able to assert that with any confidence.

Daily consumption of red meat? Yeah, the jury appears to be tilted against such behavior/habit.
If anything calorie restriction seems to dominate all other variables in all contexts but people don't like that answer.
"Besides that, it just sounds like esoteric nonsense. What's next? Essential oils?"
it refers to the entirety of Bryan Johnson's routine including the tea-tree mouthwashing, the weekly acid peels, the 33,000+ images of his bowels, the laser treatments, the fat injections into his face, etc.
I doubt they meant that a vegan diet, regular exercise, and sleep hygiene is esoteric.
You can find plenty of vegan junk food packed with sugar.
Presence -> Presential
Governance -> Governantial
Fence -> Fential
Evanescence -> Evanesential
The latter is at least the best conceivable name for an Evanescence cover band.
I guess English took (ens -> ence) and (entia + l -> ential).
Residence -> residential, Evidence -> evidential...
Jurisprudential, existential, penitential...
The only thing is that about half have become "having characteristics related to the thing" instead of "about the thing". Words like consequential, pestilential, preferential have a common usage in this realm but still can be used in the "discussion about a thing" sense.
