and bryan if you're watching this, just know that i have successfully achieved a biological age of 25 through an innovative process called being born in 1998
That sounds like she was punishing herself for living. That's not right. Humanity has made progress to make us live longer and more fullfilling lives, that's our destiny. On the other hand being obsessed is not helpful. There is a medium.
i agree with this. wrinkles show you’ve lived through a lot, smile lines show you’ve laughed a lot, frown lines show you’ve cried a lot. aging really is your body reminding you of where you’ve been, and what you’ve done.
To bring it all full circle, the Twilight series was written by a Mormon who graduated from BYU. Bryan went to BYU and wants to be a vampire. Therefore, going to BYU will make you want to be vampire.
As crazy as this Bryan guy is, I don't wish him death or illness. That being said.... if he ever overdoes it with the supplements and has a health scare (hopefully a wakeup call for him) I'd love to watch your video about it lmao
I am disabled and survived a hell of a lot of trauma that kills a lot of other people, so I view aging as a privilege, every grey hair and every wrinkle is proof I'm stronger than my suffering.
Dear god, imagine carrying a child for 9 months, going through the pain of birthing him, spending years raising him and caring for him only for his unhinged father literally feast on his blood like some sort of demented Dracula.
I'm sure he's a great father despite spending every waking moment obsessing about himself. Poor kid probably consented to the blood-switching just to try and get a tiny bit of attention.
@@ANYHOO0 I don't think it's even consent when he's a kid. He literally can't consent until he becomes of age. Let alone the power dynamic. This is so wrong on so many levels.
@@lyra2282if it's anything medical, the kid has rights starting at 14 to withhold consent (in most States). But, as was said: money played no small part in making sure it happened--whether it was the doctor who risked their license or the kid having a dangling allowance/ inheritance. Not to mention most kids (aware of their parents' worries) would do anything to make their parents feel happy and to feel included in something "big" their parents are up to, so I also don't doubt the emotional manipulation played into it, either--whether it was explicitly done or not.
As an Ecuadorian viewer, I can’t believe Bryan spent years of his life seeing the misery and social inbalances we suffered through the 90s and thought “yeah, I want to live forever”. The depression part I understand, but the rest… We as a nation should receive compensation for this
Yo estaba pensando exactamente lo mismo. Cerca de mi casa vivían mucho de los misioneros y siempre me pareció que es neocolonial, hasta cierto punto. Creo que sólo cambió una religión por otra.
@@ΒύρωναςΛαδιάςno but it comes across as he saw the suffering of equidor on his missonary trip and was like 'damn i dont wanna be like these poor people, im gonna be rich'
I'm 42 years old. When I look at the 'old' Bryan I see a normal, attractive man my age. When I look at the new Bryan, I see a Lord Of The Rings elf who's been tortured underground in Mordor for decades and who you couldn't pay me to sleep with, ever.
This Bryan guy needs therapy…BADLY. He had an existential crisis and rather than work through it he swung to another extreme. His life is so insular now he’s afraid to travel by car because it’s a “risk.”
i was raised religious and even when i lost faith, i kind of always accepted that there would be something after death.. idk.. the afterlife was just taken for granted. and then Alan Rickman, of all people.. died. I've had a crush on him since Robinhood. i don't have a lot of family. i honestly hadn't seen someone i related to die since i lost faith, so i guess i was never challenged to think about it. and it sounds dumb, but it was literally the first time i thought of someone being dead and realising that there is nothing after that. that you would be buried or whatever and you would just cease to be. and my religion wasn't anything like mormonism - just a regular anglican, maybe went to church a few times as a child, type of thing. but it was scary to think about just not existing, it still kind of gives me the heebees because it IS an existential crisis, your sense of self and your place in the universe is forever changed I get why Bryan would be terrified of dying, of needing to hold on to this plane because everything he was raised to look forward to is a lie... but whats the point of clinging, if you're not even happy?! he is trapped in his existance, all over again and its not a way to live
it also screams real bad anxiety and phobias, like agoraphobia and a phobia of gaining weight, and a phobia of aging on top of a religious crisis, an existential crisis, AND a mid life crisis all at the same time, like bro needs mad therapy, way more therapy than most of us anyway lol
Like D'Angelo said, Bryan has a religion sized hole in his heart. Sorry, but a therapist can't fix it by asking "how do you feel about that?" He would probably only develop the same anxiety and obsession with mental health that he has with physical health. What he needs is to find a religion/belief system that doesn't have some of the problems he saw in Mormonism (though nothing is ever perfect of course). And something that will give him a purpose in life other than obsessing over himself. Nothing else will help, sorry.
That’s the trade off I’m trying to find. My adhd makes daily skincare way longer. I’ve been cutting out parts of my self care so I have more of my day 😂
Except there's thousands of Taoist monks who sit inside for a large portion of the day and are infinitely more fulfilled than you or D'Angelo. I don't follow the guy's routine but Bryan Johnson has devoted his life to being a test subject so it provides him with a sense of purpose. D'Angelo has yet to find any true purpose beyond being a youtuber I guess?
@@jamk2668 This is a strange comment. You say that monks are fulfilled sitting inside, Bryan has found purpose by being a test subject, but then downplay long form commentary as not having found a “true purpose”. It’s like you contradicted your earlier implication.
Bryan my dude, as a fellow exmormon...therapy. THERAPY. Years of it. You've gone from one kind of immortality myth to another, meaning you haven't learned anything or healed at all.
it's so fuckin wild seeing d'angelo go from the 2018 monotone to the very upbeat, high-energy 2023 brightness, i'm glad to see him healthier and happier
Tbh I liked him better that way, just simply because he focused on art which is why I started following him, as someone who is a sketch artist I got a lot of good tips from him. But if he’s happier this way then good for him
It's very normal, coming to a point where you no longer want to end your life often means being hit with the fear of death in a very sudden and intense way. I think its partly because you haven't been processing the idea of death in a normal, healthy way for a long time, and partly because the time you spent feeling suicidal/depressed feels like a waste of your life and you want to get that time back.
Severe depression, living with it in your youth and 20's and coming out of it as an older person makes one feel that they have wasted so much time, their youth, opportunity ect. He's trying to make up for lost time. It's sad, and impossible.
i think transfusing your son's blood into yours is not just weird, but cruel. can't quite explain it, but i feel a deep level of sympathy for the boy even if he agrees to whatever went on
As a non-Mormon who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for 7 years, it sounds like this guy went through what most ex-Mormons go through after he left the church. When I was dating, I met a lot of great people who basically said "I spent my whole life following whatever the church told me to do and listening to their morals. And as soon as I left, I had to figure that all out again for myself. There was no baseline anymore." Except most people didn't have millions of dollars to waste on bad science that would turn them into living AI chat bots. I really feel for anyone who's left a cult and spent years reeling until they find their way again
I think the only thing good that will come from his bad science is that he's funding the bad science no one else will and is proving why it's bad. I think it would be better spent funding a Journal if Failed Medicine and Other Science that publishes all of those doctoral and whatever experiments that the vast majority of students sign up to do but produces no results so they (1) Don't get published, (2) Face delays in finishing, (3) Are duplicates of other studies that didn't work but no one knows about because there's no way for them to have known they were already done so itd money any time straight down the drain, and (4) Stifles innovation because instead of duplicating what does work they could instead be looking at the variables to figure out what might work thereby contributing to overall well-being. The worst about science is that we only celebrate what produces sexy results. We shouldn't be afraid to talk about what works, or only discuss the things that don't work for sexy topics. Instead of looking at it that it's equally as important to know why a vaccine works on this set of pathogens as to know why other things don't improve hair growth, we should be looking at why something doesn't inhibit tumor growth or changes colors of orange varieties without changing flavor.
@krusher181 only major difference I'd cite is that no strong liquor is sold in ur average grocery store (they have liquor stores for that) and everything opens later on Sundays. Other than that (if you live in the Salt Lake City area) there shouldn't be too much emphasis on religion.
Yeah, as mikami1824 said it's not a crazy state or anything. Lots of more liberal people live in Salt Lake, and the liquor laws are the same as ones seen in other states, it's just a bit more restricted. There is a strong Mormon culture there, but also a strong counter culture. Lots of coffee shops, microbreweries, tattoo parlors, LGBTQ+ representation, etc. SLC was a lot like any medium sized city except it was very clean @@krusher181
Remember, chronic stress is a huge contributor to aging and health issues. This guy being obsessed with youth is ironically what’s going to make him age faster.
There's a story about a merchant whose servant has seen Death in Baghdad, and the servant becomes so terrified that he decides to run away to Samarra where Death can't find him. Only when the servant's owner went to see Death at the marketplace in Baghdad, to ask Death why he decided to scare the servant? Death responds that he was just surprised to see the man in Baghdad because he had an appointment with the servant that night in Samarra. It kinda reminds me of that.
My grandfather was a healthy man… he passed away at 66 from cancer. Life doesn’t care if you’re healthy, if it’s your time it’s your time. I’m not saying be unhealthy, I’m just saying live in moderation.
His aesthetic is literally so adorable 😭 I love seeing people who like cute stuff just openly doing it. He's very stylish and if I saw him in public I would literally give a mental "Awwww!" and it would make my day better.
Is he OK? Cause he was not like this when I watched him years ago. I don't even mean the look - but that constant smile comes off kinda forced. He seems like he's trying too hard to be happy. Yeah the look as cute, as long as he stays D'Angelo, and doesn't start to think because he likes glittery accessories and pink shirts then surely he MUST actually be D'Angelina.
Dude... hearing the mormonism stuff covered by a non-mormon is great. I left the cult a while ago. But the HUNGER the absence of that institution creates when someone leaves is insatiable. The hunger of purpose that mormonism previously fulfilled. Doctrine that this repeats - prophet/narcissism, eternal life, pursuit of perfection, wanting to be looked up to... This hot mess is relatable.
This is common to many people who leave their faith. There's a whole cottage industry of atheists on youtube (not *those* guys) who make content discussing these topics. Belief It Or Not, Paulogia, and Emma Thorne are some of my favorites. Aron Ra has also been a *long time* activist for atheists in the US and is a generally progressive, well-intentioned person although a lot of his content is also focused on specifically pushing back against creationism, and sharing his interests in various fields including archaeology and taxonomy.
That’s an interesting perspective. As an X Mormon also, I actually kind of felt the opposite. I was born with a disability, and never really felt like I belonged no matter what ward I went to, and I also never really felt or heard the Holy Ghost so when I found out it was a load of crock, I was so relieved. I was so glad I didn’t have to try to live up to these ridiculous standards, and that I wasn’t just going to hell because I couldn’t measure up or hear the spirit. The becoming a god yourself stuff seemed kind of cool, but all the stuff you had to do to get there was kind of insane. I could absolutely see why someone would try to live forever if they attempted to deconstruct, but still had a dread for hell or eternity. It took a few years to shake that for me.
@@kylegonewild belief it or not is one of my favorites! I like Emma Thorne too, but I admit, I haven’t watched a lot of her stuff. I also really enjoyed Theremin trees. He goes a lot into the psychological aspects of deconstruction.
Ya it's really interesting that he talks about how LDS have him rules .. Do this to score points do this to lose them. He's basically come up with a new set of restrictions/rules to pray to the alter of youth.
ON EVERYTHING 🤢🤮 And you know he stares at himself in the mirror and any reflective surface at any given time even in front of other people thinking he's the 💩 💀😂
I think an unexamined factor regarding anti-aging is that it's done because we, as humans, ultimately fear death, and aging is the ultimate sign that it is getting closer. Yes, those who age are privileged to not have died young, but death comes for everyone, that is the core motivator here.
I’m not in a hurry to die but I think I’ll be ready at some point. I would never want to be immortal, time drags on enough as it is, and seeing people you love pass on is so hard.
He literally lives a nightmare with all that money. He can't even relax. He can't even live mentally healthy. When your skin looks grey/green and you live your life on a strict schedule by choice, you've failed at life. He could be happy helping others but no. Its all about him trying to not die but not living either.
I'll maintain that the epitome of "aging gracefully" after making quite a bit of money is John Carpenter, who directed his last series from home and generally seems happy to spend his time playing Fallout, smoking, and watching the NBA. occasionally he makes some music.
Green skin is most commonly associated with multiple organ failure, and considering how few calories he's eating and how little fat he has, combined with how a lot of supplements are rough on the organs....
Exactly and he’s forgetting that chronic stress is a huge contributor of health issues and premature aging. The youngest looking people I’ve ever seen are calm and relax a lot
not a doctor but as a pharmacology student i am genuinely TERRIFIED for this man’s liver and kidneys if they actually have to process 100+ pills daily. and that’s not even getting into the insane amount of drug-drug interactions that could cause more harm than good.
Have you seen the singularity? I’m not sure if that’s exactly what the documentary is called, but that guy believing in a day that man & machine will become one also believed he could reprogram his body by taking the right supplements and was popping supplements like all day long. I think he only did like 40/day though.
not a doctor but someone studying biomedical science: the fact that bryan is taking over 100 vitamins/supplements DAILY is really concerning as you *can* overdose on vitamin supplements. i'm really hoping for the sake of his liver and kidneys that bryan is exaggerating when he says that he takes that many supplements a day
is it possibble to safely take 100 different supplements if the dosis in each one is low / adjusted to what your liver can handle well? or would consuming such a large variety of ingredients that are isolated from their natural food source always put more strain on you organs than a healthy diet with whole foods?
@@sophiemay9645 it *may* be possible if the dosage in each supplement is low, though taking that many at one time does still run the risk of going past a vitamin's upper intake level, which is the maximum amount of a vitamin a person can take without risking an overdose. some vitamins, like vitamin B or vitamin C, are water-soluble, so the body can just remove the excess in urine. however the fat-soluble vitamins, like vitamin A or vitamin K, can't be removed that easily since they normally get stored in fatty tissues or the liver, so excess can build up over time and cause issues. ultimately, the safest way to get your daily vitamins is to try and eat healthily, as well as to be aware of what vitamins you get from your food, how much of it provides to your daily intake, and what vitamins you might be missing or not getting enough of. taking supplements can definitely help with giving your body additional amounts of vitamins and other minerals that your normal diet might lack, though using them as a replacement for a well-balanced meal like bryan is doing is definitely not the way to go about taking them.
YEAH, that was really concerning to me. I'm not at all versed in the science, but a friend of mine was recently dealing with heart issues that were caused by being prescribed a dosage of iron supplements that was too high. They're recovering now as far as I know, but seeing this guy take so many at once can't be good for him.
The fact he is taking hormone supplements just confirmed for me his most effective thing is HE’s ON SYNTHROID AND TESTOSTERONE: he is on things that will end up increasing his early death risk…
As someone who grew up Mormon in Utah and no longer agree with the LDS church. This is absolutely fantastic that your shining a light on this religion. They need to be seen and your coverage of them is spot on and realistic. Thank you so much.
Hi, fellow exMormon! I’m from the East Coast and I’ve gotta say … I really feel for you guys who were born LDS in Utah. Most of my family is still in the church so it’s awkward but I’ve been able to move on by avoiding the church altogether (The reason and situation as to why I left was extremely traumatic and I’ve been in therapy for 5 years for it. Soo avoidance is key for me.) I don’t think I’d be okay if my life was in Utah where its history, the economy and people are inextricably bound to the LDS Church. My parents are converts so I don’t come from a big Mormon family thank goodness. I’m just so impressed and in awe of ex members who come from Utah and especially those who continue to live and thrive in there.
hey, a fellow ex mormon! i love to see us in the wild. you're so right, i think the general outside perception of mormons (at least in my experience) doesn't really get to the real stuff, but it's hard to explain how strange the church really is to anyone who didn't grow up in it.
I used to sit with some Mormon kids during lunch when I was in high school. They were very nice and not super religious. I get the vibe that they were just doing it for their parents.
So I have chronic myeloid leukemia and once when I was in the waiting room for a blood clinic there was an interview with Blurprint Bryan on the TV (Good Morning Britain, I believe) and the other blood cancer patients and I had a good laugh at him. He was talking about how rejuvinated he felt after a bone marrow transplant and one of the patients said something along the lines of "I didn't feel great after that but maybe it feels better without the chemo".
This behavior actually sounds a lot like the mindset caused by eating disorders. Every day is spent in pursuit of a goal, often weight or calorie based, and happiness is promised to come with it. They may monitor food intake, engage in rigorous exercise, and avoid social situations that threaten The Goal. But the behaviors actually end up horribly limiting the individual and creating a crippled social life, an unhealthy body, and existential dread. I see no difference between Brian’s immortality venture and someone whose anorexia has them in a chokehold.
@@samsara801 I think the same of Gweneth Paltrow. I heard her “what I eat in a day” and it just screamed orthorexia to me. Especially the- “I take vitamins to get nutrients from the source and not from the food that has harmful things in it”
@@timarahmcintosh3592 Gwyneth has fully bought the snake oil she's selling. These people never explain how replacing your food with diet pills keeps your caloric intake sufficient to operate at regular functioning capacity. Probably because a lot of them are torturing themselves with deficits. Bryan here at least has a strict regimented calorie intake he's open about and says he adheres to, even if his behaviors are those of someone dealing with potentially serious mental health issues.
"Is obsession healthy just because health is your obsession?" That is such a fantastically put together point. Really got me with that one, like you used code WALLACE on my heart...
former mormon here ✋ was not expecting mormon origins for this story. it’s always a bizzare feeling when mormonism crosses out of its little bubble and into the general public eye
Really? When I saw that he was Mormon, I was like, “Makes sense.” I think with Lori Daybell, Ruby Franke, and Tim Ballard that I’m just assuming every criminal or weirdo is/was Mormon now lol. It’s sad because this extremely literal minded dude-instead of much needed therapy-has spent millions only to replicate his on sci-fi version of the church. Instead of the Word of Wisdom, he has supplements and a strict diet. He has a strict daily protocol not unlike the schedules missionaries follow. Eternal life is now living forever and reversing aging. Jesus is now, well, himself. He’s even trying to have his own world and people with his “thousands of biological and digital children.” Makes me wonder what weird, unhealthy things I’ve done to replace the gaping hole left from leaving such a high demand religion as the LDS Church … at least I’m in therapy lol.
@@sirdidymus24I was ready for him to be a Visions of Glory stan as soon as I heard he was Mormon. Glad that he isn't, but... Olive Oil Jesus is a new one. 😂
Can we please just appreciate how PRETTY D'Angelo looks in this video?! The pink-rimmed glasses, the hair clips, paired with the backdrop... it's giving me life. Anyway, loved the video!!
“There’s definitely a joke here about Brian being a snake oil salesman but even the snakes were like ‘Nah’ so it’s just olive oil” The way I laughed 😂🤣
My mom is almost 60 but people think she’s 40 all the time. How? She’s a high school teacher who has wild energy and gets shit done (and dyes her hair because she loves her red hair). That’s how you stay young, you do things and interact with young people.
My mom was doing like ALL of this (minus stealing my blood, I think) way before this dude. It's called an ED. Bro has too much money to get help it seems.
I’m an ex-Mormon and it’s tragic how much literally everything in his regimen and philosophy comes from Mormonism. The guy is literal minded to a fault and clearly miserable. His entire life is still constructed around and from the LDS Church. If only he’d use some of his money to get some decent therapy, he’d probably be in a better, more constructive place and he’d be able to leave his kids some wealth rather than literally bleeding them dry.
I study nutrition science at university, and one of the top Dietitian's in Australia said to us - "There's no point living forever if you don't enjoy the time you're alive. When people get to 80, let them eat their cake." What he is doing IS supported by science - his body is young, but his soul is already dead.
As someone that left the Mormon church...it will absolutely mess you up. It's not just a religion it's a cult, and this man instead of seeking professional help to Deprogram just decided to shove all that trauma down and be totally unhinged. It's crazy.
indeed. it’s clear that he hasn’t tried to deal with the existential issues about death and the afterlife (or lack thereof) that come from a loss of faith and instead decided to just not die.
@@LeeBee287this was my first thought. The Mormon church promises that faith will keep you and your loved ones together for all eternity in the afterlife... he's aiming for the same thing, but now he thinks he can just avoid dying period.
This, the Mormonism aspect is not being addressed enough. I hate that people TIPTOE around Mormonism because it’s been normalized as a legit religion , like no, they deserve to be exposed and criticized. Loudly. Maybe then people would feel more comfortable leaving and seeking therapy afterward. His behavior is very much as you described, cult induced trauma in need of deprogramming. The joking about his “blood boy” is just… very deranged. He’s pretty far removed from having any perspective at the moment. The things he’s accomplished are incredible, it’s clear he capable of functioning on some level but where he’s at right now is so concerning. Mentally unwell and unfathomably wealthy are not a good combo for an individual’s well being.
I don't get eating a specific amount of calories a day while in pursuit of an "18 year old's body." If you don't have at least 700 calories of spicy chips coursing through your veins, you're doing it wrong.
When I first met my partner over 20 years ago, he was obsessed with a book called "Life Extension", that I think was published in the 1980s. He was taking mega-doses of hundreds of supplements a day, and had a big routine and schedule about when to take what, while eating certain things. It was really pathological. After a couple of years I "intervened" and took all his bottles to my house. He was kind of mad, but eventually we came to negotiated solution, where he limited how many pills a day he'd take, and cut out the mega-doses to RDA. It's taken him all these years to say calmly, "Everybody has to die eventually". We're both pretty healthy physically, but I think we're in the ballpark of not being insane about it.
Stressing about your age is the fastest way to lose your youth, also it's completely based on your parents so they have to be youthful looking as well.
@@friedsugar2701He was 45 during those blueprint interviews. He's 46 now so… you're saying he basically looks his age. Doesn't look like that blueprint is working, does it? lol
Dealing with mortality is scary. However, after my parent unexpectedly passed away, I've come to terms with it. Yes, the battle is painful. But being an absolute vampire is not better than what I've been through. Like literally, I used to be terrified by The Void but it's really not that way anymore for me.
there's something about your loved ones dying that make The Void feel like its breathing down your neck. you really come to some life altering revelations in that grief state, good or bad
I work as a PCA(personal care attendant). I watched my last 3 clients die. Watching them die didn’t put me into an existential crisis but it definitely gave me some perspective. Most people die alone in a hospital, all our goals should include having family to take care of us in the end of our life’s because I have seen people die both ways and the best deaths are when the person who died is surrounded by family. Dying alone is the saddest thing I have ever seen.
If I had a nickel for every guy named Brian/Bryan Johnson that went viral on the internet for their psycho health advice, I'd have two nickels. And that isn't a lot but it is incredibly strange that it happened twice
he did all this and…he still doesn’t look young. just a middle aged man who regularly showers, doesn’t over eat, or drink too much. It’s wild that the anti-aging isn’t the weirdest thing he’s ever done publically. i heard when people have a crisis of faith they sometimes fear death bc the afterlife they were told of no longer exists. Also D’angelo’s hair 🥺🥺
@@anie7254 At 23 I looked 15 (and was expecting - awkward stares). At 40 I looked 25. At 50 I looked 35. At 71 I now look 60. I started off with great genes and took care of my body (more or less). But after a certain age . . . you’re going to “look” old - no matter what you do. If you keep at it - you’re likely to DIE looking like Frankenstein’s monster. D’Angelo is a raconteur extraordinaire! No matter the topic he’s engaging.
I think something we don't talk enough is that for a lot of people, anti-aging IS fear of death. Aging is a natural sign that we are getting closer to the inevitable, so we feel that if we reverse/halt aging, we at the very least don't have to think about it, if not outright believe it won't happen.
He doesn't look young, he looks ill. There are so many people with similar financial resources who actually look healthy and in great condition without doing all this insanity. Theres a lot to be said about personalized diet and exercise plans and reducing stress levels - which does require a lot of money - but that still leaves you with most of your time free to actually live your life.
Having a religious trauma, not going to therapy to deal with the issues, being afraid to die because you don't have clarity on what happens next, deciding to become immortal and that solves that.
Thing is, most therapists I've gone to can't work through the grief the loss of my dad left me, like, it's just one example, but losing him as a kid was one of all issues I had. My mom goes through therapy/psychologists to cure her 40 year old trauma from being left out from Jehovas witnesses, yet, she still isn't cured. I deeply don't think that 99% of therapists could handle Bryan and his unique thinking, therapists are quite okay at teaching out some of the most basic breathing exercises that sometimes work in a panic attack. "go to therapy" is something people who want to seem full of empathy, but has no clue about what that is. I think Bryan is quite wacky, but to say "he needs therapy" is.... well.. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It strips agency from him and makes him seem like a person we are to talk about-- not with. Is every eccentric thinker someone who should go to therapy?
@@SirEmrikim pretty sure his pursuit of mortality is a good example of why he needs therapy. "Eccentric " is what you call madmen who happen to be rich.
@@greencaeilian5084 And how, pray tell, would a therapist deal with that. If you objectively hate the idea of death and feel it is your biological imperative to become immortal, how is ANY form of therapy going to help? I honestly feel similar to Bryan minus the religious trauma; if I die one day and everything I have ever done effectively is erased or is going to be destroyed by others, then life literally has no meaning unless it results in an immortal state that allows for perpetual growth and development
Well outside of aesthetic reasons which are shallow, aging leads to your body deteriorating. You can no longer build muscles as easily, your joints ache and stiffen, your eyes, ears, and mind weaken. Theres also, you know, the whole dying thing.
This guy is a nut case, but I kinda get certain points of the whole "fighting aging" thing. I have issues with hypermobility, and it's causing me to develop really early onset arthritis in most of my main joints (hips, knees, elbows, etc.). It's painful, really painful, and if someone looked me in the eyes and said "doing ______ will completely reverse your joint damage", I'd at least heavily consider it. But that's not how joints or bodies work, and I have to accept that. I can't imagine going that far down the rabbit hole for my own personal, and completely theoretical, gain.
Because aging destroys your body and mind? I would prefer to have full use of my body and brain for as much of my lifespan as possible tbh I don’t think there’s anything wrong w that in principle.
I really adore your gold cat-eye glasses with the gold butterfly clips combo, literally so freaking cute. A great video overall with a fantastic look! 🦋✨
I thought it was really weird and backhanded … talking about how they dont have a chance in life so im gonna start a multi-million dollar business .. like we get it, you fear poverty
Weirdly, as a 23 year-old, I have a lot of experience in a lot of the topics of this video, so story time. I'm brazilian, just to clear things up. At 15, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I tried all the tradicional medicine and none of them made a dent in my symptoms (which cause severe blood loss and repeated ulcers in the same spots, which tends to be dangerous). After a year, the only treatments left were ones where I'd have to go to a clinic monthly to have medicine vein infusion, and that scared the hell out of my parents and I. So my mom decided to pull the brakes and try every alternative medicines we could find. I did superdosing of vitamin D (kinda helped), microkinesiotherapy (crazy stuff), a few different pseudo-psychological approaches, spiritual surgeries, the whole spectrum, with no huge impact. So my dad's work colleague started seeing a doctor that helped him "change his lifestyle and be healthy" and theoretically solved his high blood pressure. We were on a waiting list for months, and the appointment was close to a month's minimum wage in Brazil. The place was extremely fancy, huge Apple electronics, a huge window over the city, etc. He told stories about how he had allegedly cured a girl's cancer and then proceeded to prescribe me 42 daily pills (supplements and actual medicine), and said I would no longer be allowed to eat gluten, dairy, corn, soy, tomato, sugar, animal products, or cook with any type of oil (without a meal plan like a nutritionist would provide). We spent another month's salary with the pills that needed to be custom ordered, and I just. Couldn't. Take them. Some of them were huge, they all tasted horribly and there's no amount of food that can keep that taste away. After like 20, I felt like I would throw up, and sometimes did. My parents became mad at me because the whole thing was so expensive, and it didn't help my symptoms at all. I spent Christmas eating only like plain steamed potatoes and kept losing weight. Everything was so overwhelming, the pain from the symptoms, the weakness from anemia, the amount of pills, the diet, my parents' pressure, that I lost a good 30 pounds weighing around 90 at the worst point. I ruined Christmas, New Years, and the only family trip we've ever taken with my grandparents. We gave up, and I started the monthly clinic infusions, and I'm in remission. Since then, other doctors and nutritionists were horrified with what this man put me through, saying that these pills interfered with each other and ended up doing nothing but overwhelm my liver and kidneys (I also got a kidney stone during the "treatment"). So moral of the story: a bunch of pills don't do you any good. The other thing is that my boyfriend has just returned from a 6-month exchange program to Ecuador, and I stayed there for a month. It's hilarious to think of an american missionary being sad about the state of things there, because in latin america, those who know Ecuador call it an extension of the United States. It has huge military bases, the economy is dollar-based, and the US has interfered with most elections there in the past 30 years or more. Outside of that the country is culturally rich and their people just voted to not explore oil in the Amazon forest, so they're a bit better at decision-making than a good amount of americans. Using that as an excuse to become a multi-millionaire with a company that doesn't even reach Ecuador is kind of hilarious. That's all sorry for the huge text
Hey, as someone with chronic illness/pain, I just want to say that you did not ruin that holiday season and vacation. Your sickness got in the way and that hard not to blame yourself for but it was out of your control. I hope you’ve forgiven yourself for that and that you continue to be in remission ❤
that is absolutely terriblem and im very sorry to hear that i can only pray and wish you the best. all this seems very recent for you so im sure its very difficult, and i extend my deepest condolences and sympathies, i really do keep your chin up friend!
This is literally a dystopic book and movie - It's Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro - where clones of people are born and raised just to be literal organ donors for their rich counterparts. It's like Bryan read that and went, "What a great business opportunity!"
Honestly, all you had to say was "his hometown in Utah" and I'm already preparing myself for the worst (Spoiler: I'm still going to be surprised at how bad it gets)
My dad used to work with this guy, and apparently he used to be super normal before he became uber wealthy (he sold his company for 800 million and owned 93% of it, so go figure). Just more proof that too much money messes with your head.
Yeah, Like D'Angelo said in the video, when you get rich and bored bc you've got less to worry about, you start doing weird shit. Your brain starts finding weird things to obsess over. Makes me wonder if Howard Hughes was normal in the beginning, too.
Imagine getting old and realizing you spent a good chunk of your younger years taking a ton of pills a day, avoiding the sun and getting painful procedures...
@@alphazunitee Avoiding overexposure to UV radiation is good for you.* No need to avoid the Sun at all if you're using sunscreen or wearing clothes that reduce skin exposure. Unless you're hurtling towards it through the vacuum of space...then you *definitely* should do everything in your power to avoid the Sun.
At 23 I looked 15 (and was expecting - awkward stares). At 40 I looked 25. At 50 I looked 35. At 71 I now look 60. I started off with great genes and took care of my body (more or less). But after a certain age . . . you’re going to “look” old - no matter what you do. If ZERO keeps at it - he’s likely to DIE looking like Frankenstein’s monster. D’Angelo is a raconteur extraordinaire! No matter the topic he’s engaging.🤣☺😊🙃
I'm 37 and people still think I'm in college. It's weird. I think it's just fasting? I've intermittent fasted for at least 12 years. And kept hydrated. Also no sun. My gmom had good genes, but was in the sun with tanning oil a lot, and wrinkled extremely.
@saliferousstudios i have pretty similar experience. I hate sunbathing, trying to eat healthy (fasting is great) and being 32 ppl always assume I'm 22 -25 at most.
When he starts looking like Frankestein’s monster, I wouldn’t be surprised if he claims that THAT is what healthy humans are actually supposed to look like at full health. Our perception has just been wrong all these years!
@@saliferousstudios I am currently 39 years old and have been told I look 16-20 for the past two decades … I don’t fast, and I’m really bad about staying hydrated. I used to get a LOT of sun during my childhood, but rarely any now (5 to 20 minutes a day at most). Also, I don’t wear makeup. Many feel this particular fact has done the work, and I’m sure it helps, but I bet it’s mostly genetics.
I left my mother's womb 39 years ago. As I approach 40, I can say with certainly I don't want to live forever, nor do I want to be in my 20's anymore. My life has gotten better and worse with age but that's part of it. It's sad to me he can't just focus on being the best version of himself.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so fearful of something so inevitable. He’s wasting his one life he’s gonna get. The irony is so strong I don’t have the words.
This is such a tragedy. He spontaneously developed social consciousness on his own, was so sheltered it broke his brain, and then has spent the rest of his life feeling like he wasted his youth to religion while not quite being able to wrest his morality and view of the world away from his upbringing
@@WhatDoesEvilMean He became a billionaire and instead of helping the people he promised he would, he just started taking 100s of pills and farting around with "immortality"
Lol but then they actually don't have empathy and still can't extend it to real people, they only like the idea of being an empathetic person in theory
48-year-old here. He looks older than I do. He’s in good shape, but it’s hard to keep your face from aging when you have no body fat. He looks more preserved than young. There’s so much shit here like: he has a whole day focused on fucking skincare and working out, but like, an hour for his family. Second: like, this is just what a lot of celebs have been doing for years, only they get published to tabloids as diet plans. The difference is that this is a man. Third: supplements are completely unregulated and total nonsense. Fourth: nobody without an immense amount of privilege could do this. Fifth: it really takes a cis man to assume he can continue to produce healthy children no matter how old he gets. Stop 👏 trying👏 to 👏create 👏cults.
i will be 45 shortly, so i'm "his age." i have a decent amount of chronic illnesses and a fairly unhealthy lifestyle. And still, yep, look much, much younger than him. It's creepy how just bizarre he looks. Well, and is, lol.
If he had put THIS MUCH effort into his original goal of societal progress instead of trying to stop aging like an obsessed weirdo, he might save the world lmao
You know someone's going to go off the deep end if they start think that they, themselves, are capable of leading/dictating the future of humanity. honey, a group of 10 people can barely agree on what to eat for lunch, one person cannot wrangle all of humanity.
this lifestyle is honestly sad to see someone voluntarily going through day to day. I have multiple severe chronic illnesses, and brian’s daily schedule/routine looks a lot like the schedule of myself and others i know dealing with chronic illnesses. taking dozens of pills, following a very specialized partly liquid diet, exercising with such attention to detail, tracking your vitals, trying new weird treatments, and putting most of your energy into your healthcare routine is a lifestyle i can’t imagine choosing if there were other good options.
SAME. It’s all I can think when I hear about these people. I wouldn’t wish my life on my worst enemy (ok… maybe my worst enemy… but not any normal, garden-variety enemies)
God this is too real. I also have multiple chronic illnesses that take a good couple of hours of management every day. It's endlessly frustrating when it gets in the way of the things I want to be doing. Why would you go through this if you didn't have to??? (I guess he feels like he has to... But yikes)
Coming from a chronically ill person, there's a lot wrong with this. From the waste of medical resources he doesn't need while others struggle to afford their lifesaving treatments, to the idea that people might buy into this "healthy" routine based on false information. Honestly the guy just seems like he needs serious mental help, and to have people in his circle tell him that. He has so much money that it doesn't matter to him whether, or not these ideas are reasonable before funding them. This obsession with not just being fit, but being a literal teenager again, and this weird compulsive behavior to achieve it is just so unhealthy. He has to be scrutinizing every physical detail 24/7, that's mentally damaging AF Imagine the effort his body must go through to process 100+ pills everyday on limited calories. He also took a bunch of prescription meds at one point. He consistently looks sick, and frail compared to how he looked before. He seems to have a savior complex while being completely disconnected from the people he wants to "save". Probably left over from the church, but instead of being one of many chosen people to save the world.. he's gonna do it all by himself, or make his own line of chosen ones. Like if he can't get everlasting Mormon utopia in the afterlife, then he'll create that utopia in this current life? I wonder if he still holds onto fears of his soul being damned, so he can't ever let his current life come to an end? Maybe without the promise of forever in heaven, life seems too short for him now? Whatever it is, shits not helping him. Idgaf how much they're being paid, why tf are doctors allowing this in their presence? Like at the very least theyre keeping him alive.. good god that's a low bar though. Get that man a damn therapist, and pleeeaase stop giving him my meds! His son was also in a pretty vulnerable place when he agreed to do the blood, and plasma transfusions. His son had just left the Mormon church, and likely had no one else on the outside to turn to. Him, and his father had not talked in years prior to this. His family dropped all contact with his father after he left the Mormon church. So the combination of wanting to reconnect with a father you havent been allowed to speak to all these years, leaving everything you had ever known behind, AND the power imbalance of his father having massive amounts of wealth/influence.. yeeeaa that's pretty fucking questionable. The nerve to even ask that of his son knowing the vulnerable position he was in, and that it absolutely was not medically necessary in any way is beyond baffling. His son may feel like it's no big deal, but from an outside perspective it's looking pretty messed up. Very bizarre priorities for a father to have. He should be ensuring his young adult son has proper support, and fulfilling experiences. Rather than trying to reclaim his own sense of youth. For anyone unfamiliar, when someone leaves the Mormon church, they are excommunicated from their community. Often that means families, and friends do not talk to loved ones who have left, unless they agree to come back to the church. People who leave have to drop all contact, they are not allowed in the temple which means no access to weddings, funerals, baptisms, or other significant family events held in sacred spaces. If the church finds out a family kept in contact with someone who left, that family will be shamed until they break contact. This isn't always the case, but it is incredibly common. Often people who leave Mormonism have no support system at all, they've been cut off from everything they ever knew. People who are "lucky" know someone who already left the church before they did, and can hopefully go to them for support. This can be especially nice when the person you turn to DOESN'T HAVE A TENDENCY TO ASK FOR YOUR YOUNG BLOOD JFC WTH!? Pure insanity.
People in the comments are really joking about, imagining agency for, and victim blaming the son in all this. He's absolutely a victim of his father's delusions, it's so bizarre.
I'm still disgusted by what he did to his son. He did it based on a study involving mice, which worked...for the mice. It also made the young mice getting old blood age rapidly. So even if it worked, he was happy to doom his son just to make himself feel younger.
Not a medical professional but I've actually been fed ~115 pills a day every day for over 2 years!! Used to take around 40 of them for every meal. It was supposed to help me because I was in a bad episode of my disease and taking lots of antibiotics too. The antibiotics were injected so I also had to go under several needles every day. But tbh the only result I got is me getting scared of pills. I mean it did not do me so much good nor so much bad (but I was sick at the time so my body was lacking lots of vitamins and stuff, unlike Bryan) it just felt kinda traumatic for 15yo me. Needles on the other hand destroyed my body, I remember having my veins collapsing and my muscles getting paralyzed. It happened over 7 years ago but I still struggle to swallow pills and I'm terrified about injection treaments. I don't understand how anybody would choose to do this on purpose without being forced to.
Fun fact! The use of a younger persons cells to prevent aging and 'live forever' was a plot point in a book series called The Declaration by Gemma Malley. Its done by the villains of the book to orphan children called Surpluses, both socially and as their names! This guy is literally doing the Torment Nexus bit!
Can't remember the name off the top of my head but there was also that countess or some shit from a story that would bathe in the blood of younger, pretty women. This trope has also appeared in several films.
Ooh and I'm the anime/ manga "Black Clover" this witch lady sucks a bunch of youth. Eminence in shadow has orphans making pills that kept the wealthiest alive

As someone who has spent a lot of time in fancy Italian shops trying to make really nice dinners pastas, you'd be surprised how much good olive oil can cost and how much it can be worth it sometimes, I have paid $70 for a bottle of olive oil a quarter of the size of what he is selling, however I know that olive oil is good because it tastes good it is genuinely amazing, and it is made an imported from Italy from manufacturers, however, I can be pretty sure that what he is selling is the cheapest California made olive oil, that you could buy for about 15 bucks at any grocery store.
They claim that the body is acidic, which is complete nonsense, however, even if it were true to “alkalize the body” one would have to alkalize the blood. But our body maintains the pH of the blood between 7 -7.4, which is already alkaline. If you were to alkalize it further, you would not have to worry about illness because you would be dead. Don’t worry, though, about alkaline water killing you. Our stomach is strongly acidic and any base that enters is immediately neutralized. The still acidic contents of the stomach then pass into the intestine where they are neutralized by alkaline secretions from the pancreas. So all of the water we drink ends up being alkaline anyway. Gwyneth Paltrow… 🤦🏻♀️
^ yeah, exactly. there are some people with very specific health issues where the pH of food might actually make some kind of difference, and I guess it can have some smaller level of impact when it comes to things like reflux and other stomach issues, but yeah, most of the "alkaline foods" stuff is bs. I remember seing so much misinformation about that during the pandemic, I saw a thing being shared on whatsapp saying that the covid virus couldn't survive in an acidic environment (?), therefore you should consume alkaline foods (??), and it gave a few examples, including lemon juice (???), and some other examples were said to have pH values of, like, 21 (????). It's bullshit, it's people confidently using terms that seem complicated to a lot of other people who didn't get a great education, knowing that that's enough for them to be believed even when it's just wrong and potentially dangerous.
Seriously, you gotta share the wealth about where you find your clothes and accessories. You never miss and I love the butterflies! As for Bryan, I feel sorry for him. His whole life revolves around cheating death to the point that he's missing out on what it means to be alive and happy. He's chock full of religious trauma, he's got a helluva ED, and his self esteem is in the depths deeper than the ones that took out the Titan. Using his son as a tool in his ongoing "experiment" is just disturbing and just how are we supposed to know what supplements and pills work when he's popping them like tic-tacs? He's setting himself and anyone who believes in his ideas up for failure. It's honestly tragic. I hope he shifts his focus to his mental health eventually. He'll be better off and so will his loved ones.
There is a line I saw recently from a student on tumblr about an experiment they remember from their childhood "Science cannot account for desperation" Any time i see a team of researches supporting niche studies with millions of dollars in backing, but no one else will support (or have access to) the studies they make, I'm reminded of their post. It's like when a student will lie about the result they got because they know they will fail the assignment when they didn't get the "right" answer
I love how you're really empathetic towards Bryan while still managing to make fun of him for like 10min straight. We may be embracing death, but Bryan is absolutely not embracing life.
seeing him before he got into all this nonsense really lends credence to the vampire idea. deadass went through the oblivion-style vampire transformation
he looks so uncanny tho... like on the surface level he's fit and his stats are great but it feels like there's no life behind those eyes. the skin, the hair, the creepy gaze everything looks so lifeless
It does seem like he's basing his "de-aged" stats entirely on external medical tests. Like, if I have a task that really calls for a fit 18-y.o., and I can only call on guys 45+... this is not the guy. Much better some rawhide 50-something.
Recently got out of the mormon religion myself (quietly..) & thank you for your empathy in explaining what it’s like. It’s SO obvious now but I understand why it wasn’t. I try not to feel too dumb about it, we were basically indoctrinated, & there are so many thought-stopping techniques that make it seem eternal-life-or-death scary to even entertain thoughts of doubt..
Isn't it painful to see how obviously he is struggling with different concepts as he has left? Like... it all kinda makes sense if you were in it. Congrats on your exit. Me too. ❤
and bryan if you're watching this, just know that i have successfully achieved a biological age of 25 through an innovative process called being born in 1998
well done
You old old. 😳
congrats
and you look stunning
He should have stuck with orphan blood like the rest of the people at the top. Orphans don't make for good headlines anymore but his own son would
My 90-year old grandmother once told me "aging is the reward you get for living" and I think about what she told me every day.

@@kukusenkamf you *want* to die?
That sounds like she was punishing herself for living. That's not right. Humanity has made progress to make us live longer and more fullfilling lives, that's our destiny. On the other hand being obsessed is not helpful. There is a medium.
@@mariaathena7910it’s only a punishment if you think of ageing as a bad thing
i agree with this. wrinkles show you’ve lived through a lot, smile lines show you’ve laughed a lot, frown lines show you’ve cried a lot. aging really is your body reminding you of where you’ve been, and what you’ve done.
To bring it all full circle, the Twilight series was written by a Mormon who graduated from BYU. Bryan went to BYU and wants to be a vampire. Therefore, going to BYU will make you want to be vampire.

I am disabled and survived a hell of a lot of trauma that kills a lot of other people, so I view aging as a privilege, every grey hair and every wrinkle is proof I'm stronger than my suffering.

I'm sure he's a great father despite spending every waking moment obsessing about himself. Poor kid probably consented to the blood-switching just to try and get a tiny bit of attention.
@@ANYHOO0 I don't think it's even consent when he's a kid. He literally can't consent until he becomes of age. Let alone the power dynamic. This is so wrong on so many levels.
@@lyra2282if it's anything medical, the kid has rights starting at 14 to withhold consent (in most States). But, as was said: money played no small part in making sure it happened--whether it was the doctor who risked their license or the kid having a dangling allowance/ inheritance. Not to mention most kids (aware of their parents' worries) would do anything to make their parents feel happy and to feel included in something "big" their parents are up to, so I also don't doubt the emotional manipulation played into it, either--whether it was explicitly done or not.
As an Ecuadorian viewer, I can’t believe Bryan spent years of his life seeing the misery and social inbalances we suffered through the 90s and thought “yeah, I want to live forever”. The depression part I understand, but the rest…
We as a nation should receive compensation for this

This Bryan guy needs therapy…BADLY. He had an existential crisis and rather than work through it he swung to another extreme. His life is so insular now he’s afraid to travel by car because it’s a “risk.”
Yeah, this screams disordered food and body behaviors
i was raised religious and even when i lost faith, i kind of always accepted that there would be something after death.. idk.. the afterlife was just taken for granted. and then Alan Rickman, of all people.. died. I've had a crush on him since Robinhood. i don't have a lot of family. i honestly hadn't seen someone i related to die since i lost faith, so i guess i was never challenged to think about it. and it sounds dumb, but it was literally the first time i thought of someone being dead and realising that there is nothing after that. that you would be buried or whatever and you would just cease to be. and my religion wasn't anything like mormonism - just a regular anglican, maybe went to church a few times as a child, type of thing.
but it was scary to think about just not existing, it still kind of gives me the heebees because it IS an existential crisis, your sense of self and your place in the universe is forever changed
I get why Bryan would be terrified of dying, of needing to hold on to this plane because everything he was raised to look forward to is a lie... but whats the point of clinging, if you're not even happy?! he is trapped in his existance, all over again and its not a way to live
it also screams real bad anxiety and phobias, like agoraphobia and a phobia of gaining weight, and a phobia of aging on top of a religious crisis, an existential crisis, AND a mid life crisis all at the same time, like bro needs mad therapy, way more therapy than most of us anyway lol
@@zoereidingerqt qt qq
Like D'Angelo said, Bryan has a religion sized hole in his heart. Sorry, but a therapist can't fix it by asking "how do you feel about that?" He would probably only develop the same anxiety and obsession with mental health that he has with physical health.
What he needs is to find a religion/belief system that doesn't have some of the problems he saw in Mormonism (though nothing is ever perfect of course). And something that will give him a purpose in life other than obsessing over himself. Nothing else will help, sorry.
“Imagine being so scared of dying that you have effectively stopped living your own life.” damn.

It's really not.
It's very normal, coming to a point where you no longer want to end your life often means being hit with the fear of death in a very sudden and intense way. I think its partly because you haven't been processing the idea of death in a normal, healthy way for a long time, and partly because the time you spent feeling suicidal/depressed feels like a waste of your life and you want to get that time back.
It's very common for severe depression tbh.
@@rampion1228mood.
Severe depression, living with it in your youth and 20's and coming out of it as an older person makes one feel that they have wasted so much time, their youth, opportunity ect. He's trying to make up for lost time. It's sad, and impossible.
i think transfusing your son's blood into yours is not just weird, but cruel. can't quite explain it, but i feel a deep level of sympathy for the boy even if he agrees to whatever went on
How can he NOT agree? He can't say no without his father going on a guilt trip.

‘You either die a Mormon or live long enough to become Olive oil Jesus’- no truer words were ever said
As a non-Mormon who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for 7 years, it sounds like this guy went through what most ex-Mormons go through after he left the church. When I was dating, I met a lot of great people who basically said "I spent my whole life following whatever the church told me to do and listening to their morals. And as soon as I left, I had to figure that all out again for myself. There was no baseline anymore." Except most people didn't have millions of dollars to waste on bad science that would turn them into living AI chat bots. I really feel for anyone who's left a cult and spent years reeling until they find their way again
I think the only thing good that will come from his bad science is that he's funding the bad science no one else will and is proving why it's bad.
I think it would be better spent funding a Journal if Failed Medicine and Other Science that publishes all of those doctoral and whatever experiments that the vast majority of students sign up to do but produces no results so they (1) Don't get published, (2) Face delays in finishing, (3) Are duplicates of other studies that didn't work but no one knows about because there's no way for them to have known they were already done so itd money any time straight down the drain, and (4) Stifles innovation because instead of duplicating what does work they could instead be looking at the variables to figure out what might work thereby contributing to overall well-being.
The worst about science is that we only celebrate what produces sexy results. We shouldn't be afraid to talk about what works, or only discuss the things that don't work for sexy topics. Instead of looking at it that it's equally as important to know why a vaccine works on this set of pathogens as to know why other things don't improve hair growth, we should be looking at why something doesn't inhibit tumor growth or changes colors of orange varieties without changing flavor.
What’s it like living there as a non Mormon? That sounds wild
@krusher181 it's a pretty normal state 0_0 just depends on who you surround yourself with.
@krusher181 only major difference I'd cite is that no strong liquor is sold in ur average grocery store (they have liquor stores for that) and everything opens later on Sundays. Other than that (if you live in the Salt Lake City area) there shouldn't be too much emphasis on religion.
Yeah, as mikami1824 said it's not a crazy state or anything. Lots of more liberal people live in Salt Lake, and the liquor laws are the same as ones seen in other states, it's just a bit more restricted. There is a strong Mormon culture there, but also a strong counter culture. Lots of coffee shops, microbreweries, tattoo parlors, LGBTQ+ representation, etc. SLC was a lot like any medium sized city except it was very clean @@krusher181
Remember, chronic stress is a huge contributor to aging and health issues. This guy being obsessed with youth is ironically what’s going to make him age faster.
Like the most beautiful women in the world in the prologue of The Princess Bride.
I said this too! Other than genetics the main thing that impacts how you age is stress, I'd hate to see when this guy finds out
Except his data is based on science, and he’s probably got the lowest stress levels of anyone on the planet.
Like the first emperor of china.
There's a story about a merchant whose servant has seen Death in Baghdad, and the servant becomes so terrified that he decides to run away to Samarra where Death can't find him. Only when the servant's owner went to see Death at the marketplace in Baghdad, to ask Death why he decided to scare the servant? Death responds that he was just surprised to see the man in Baghdad because he had an appointment with the servant that night in Samarra. It kinda reminds me of that.
My grandfather was a healthy man… he passed away at 66 from cancer. Life doesn’t care if you’re healthy, if it’s your time it’s your time. I’m not saying be unhealthy, I’m just saying live in moderation.
I didn't know how much I needed to see D'Angelo wearing butterfly clips until now 🥺
I know right! So cute
His aesthetic is literally so adorable 😭 I love seeing people who like cute stuff just openly doing it. He's very stylish and if I saw him in public I would literally give a mental "Awwww!" and it would make my day better.
His adorable outfits are as thoughtful and artful as his videos.
I’m only 0:31 in and I had to pause to yell about his hair. IT’S SO STINKING CUTE AAGH
Is he OK? Cause he was not like this when I watched him years ago. I don't even mean the look - but that constant smile comes off kinda forced. He seems like he's trying too hard to be happy. Yeah the look as cute, as long as he stays D'Angelo, and doesn't start to think because he likes glittery accessories and pink shirts then surely he MUST actually be D'Angelina.
Dude... hearing the mormonism stuff covered by a non-mormon is great. I left the cult a while ago. But the HUNGER the absence of that institution creates when someone leaves is insatiable. The hunger of purpose that mormonism previously fulfilled.
Doctrine that this repeats - prophet/narcissism, eternal life, pursuit of perfection, wanting to be looked up to...
This hot mess is relatable.
This is common to many people who leave their faith. There's a whole cottage industry of atheists on youtube (not *those* guys) who make content discussing these topics. Belief It Or Not, Paulogia, and Emma Thorne are some of my favorites. Aron Ra has also been a *long time* activist for atheists in the US and is a generally progressive, well-intentioned person although a lot of his content is also focused on specifically pushing back against creationism, and sharing his interests in various fields including archaeology and taxonomy.
That’s an interesting perspective. As an X Mormon also, I actually kind of felt the opposite. I was born with a disability, and never really felt like I belonged no matter what ward I went to, and I also never really felt or heard the Holy Ghost so when I found out it was a load of crock, I was so relieved. I was so glad I didn’t have to try to live up to these ridiculous standards, and that I wasn’t just going to hell because I couldn’t measure up or hear the spirit. The becoming a god yourself stuff seemed kind of cool, but all the stuff you had to do to get there was kind of insane. I could absolutely see why someone would try to live forever if they attempted to deconstruct, but still had a dread for hell or eternity. It took a few years to shake that for me.
@@kylegonewild belief it or not is one of my favorites! I like Emma Thorne too, but I admit, I haven’t watched a lot of her stuff. I also really enjoyed Theremin trees. He goes a lot into the psychological aspects of deconstruction.
Ya it's really interesting that he talks about how LDS have him rules .. Do this to score points do this to lose them. He's basically come up with a new set of restrictions/rules to pray to the alter of youth.
He went from looking like a normal, healthy person to resembling an AI program avatar
And the program went Blue Windows Page
ON EVERYTHING 🤢🤮
And you know he stares at himself in the mirror and any reflective surface at any given time even in front of other people thinking he's the 💩
💀😂
Ikr! I just thought he looked like an AI avatar.
@ville__ why do you keep copy-pasting people's comments?
He should've kept the beard
As very smart people have said over and over again: ageing is privilege. If you live long enough to get old, you should be thankful for that.
I think an unexamined factor regarding anti-aging is that it's done because we, as humans, ultimately fear death, and aging is the ultimate sign that it is getting closer. Yes, those who age are privileged to not have died young, but death comes for everyone, that is the core motivator here.
By staying young, he is essentially trying to live longer (age), but in a weird way.
I’m not in a hurry to die but I think I’ll be ready at some point. I would never want to be immortal, time drags on enough as it is, and seeing people you love pass on is so hard.
I don't want this privilege.
What's the point of living forever if it's a pain in the butt to maintain it and you have no fun
for someone so obsessed with anti aging he looks exactly his age
Yes, like smooth and fit but … his age.
Well, yeah, because he is his age. "Anti ageing" isn't really a thing
Bryan will literally, LITERALLY do everything except go to therapy.
Man just needs one session to tell him how fucked all this is-
The one thing he needs MOST 😭

He literally lives a nightmare with all that money. He can't even relax. He can't even live mentally healthy. When your skin looks grey/green and you live your life on a strict schedule by choice, you've failed at life. He could be happy helping others but no. Its all about him trying to not die but not living either.
Well said.
I'll maintain that the epitome of "aging gracefully" after making quite a bit of money is John Carpenter, who directed his last series from home and generally seems happy to spend his time playing Fallout, smoking, and watching the NBA. occasionally he makes some music.
Green skin is most commonly associated with multiple organ failure, and considering how few calories he's eating and how little fat he has, combined with how a lot of supplements are rough on the organs....
he's STILL trapped in existence and trying to trap himself even further with this immortality pursuit
Exactly and he’s forgetting that chronic stress is a huge contributor of health issues and premature aging. The youngest looking people I’ve ever seen are calm and relax a lot
not a doctor but as a pharmacology student i am genuinely TERRIFIED for this man’s liver and kidneys if they actually have to process 100+ pills daily. and that’s not even getting into the insane amount of drug-drug interactions that could cause more harm than good.
I was just thinking this! That many pills is not good (unless it is medically necessary)
Watch one of his vids on blood test results, his organs don’t seem to be a danger
he'll just get new ones
Have you seen the singularity? I’m not sure if that’s exactly what the documentary is called, but that guy believing in a day that man & machine will become one also believed he could reprogram his body by taking the right supplements and was popping supplements like all day long. I think he only did like 40/day though.
@@april1383 I have heard of it, but I have not seen it yet. Still scary though
not a doctor but someone studying biomedical science: the fact that bryan is taking over 100 vitamins/supplements DAILY is really concerning as you *can* overdose on vitamin supplements. i'm really hoping for the sake of his liver and kidneys that bryan is exaggerating when he says that he takes that many supplements a day
is it possibble to safely take 100 different supplements if the dosis in each one is low / adjusted to what your liver can handle well? or would consuming such a large variety of ingredients that are isolated from their natural food source always put more strain on you organs than a healthy diet with whole foods?
@@sophiemay9645 it *may* be possible if the dosage in each supplement is low, though taking that many at one time does still run the risk of going past a vitamin's upper intake level, which is the maximum amount of a vitamin a person can take without risking an overdose. some vitamins, like vitamin B or vitamin C, are water-soluble, so the body can just remove the excess in urine. however the fat-soluble vitamins, like vitamin A or vitamin K, can't be removed that easily since they normally get stored in fatty tissues or the liver, so excess can build up over time and cause issues.
ultimately, the safest way to get your daily vitamins is to try and eat healthily, as well as to be aware of what vitamins you get from your food, how much of it provides to your daily intake, and what vitamins you might be missing or not getting enough of. taking supplements can definitely help with giving your body additional amounts of vitamins and other minerals that your normal diet might lack, though using them as a replacement for a well-balanced meal like bryan is doing is definitely not the way to go about taking them.
YEAH, that was really concerning to me. I'm not at all versed in the science, but a friend of mine was recently dealing with heart issues that were caused by being prescribed a dosage of iron supplements that was too high. They're recovering now as far as I know, but seeing this guy take so many at once can't be good for him.
It’s an incredibly wide array of different supplements. Really doubt he’s overdosing on any one specific vitamin.
The fact he is taking hormone supplements just confirmed for me his most effective thing is HE’s ON SYNTHROID AND TESTOSTERONE: he is on things that will end up increasing his early death risk…
As someone who grew up Mormon in Utah and no longer agree with the LDS church. This is absolutely fantastic that your shining a light on this religion. They need to be seen and your coverage of them is spot on and realistic. Thank you so much.
i'm the exact same! i'm glad that he is talking about the church and some of the strange/odd things they do and teach.
You might enjoy a video from Cut titled “ex-Mormons play truth or drink”
Hi, fellow exMormon! I’m from the East Coast and I’ve gotta say … I really feel for you guys who were born LDS in Utah. Most of my family is still in the church so it’s awkward but I’ve been able to move on by avoiding the church altogether (The reason and situation as to why I left was extremely traumatic and I’ve been in therapy for 5 years for it. Soo avoidance is key for me.) I don’t think I’d be okay if my life was in Utah where its history, the economy and people are inextricably bound to the LDS Church. My parents are converts so I don’t come from a big Mormon family thank goodness. I’m just so impressed and in awe of ex members who come from Utah and especially those who continue to live and thrive in there.
hey, a fellow ex mormon! i love to see us in the wild. you're so right, i think the general outside perception of mormons (at least in my experience) doesn't really get to the real stuff, but it's hard to explain how strange the church really is to anyone who didn't grow up in it.
I used to sit with some Mormon kids during lunch when I was in high school. They were very nice and not super religious. I get the vibe that they were just doing it for their parents.
So I have chronic myeloid leukemia and once when I was in the waiting room for a blood clinic there was an interview with Blurprint Bryan on the TV (Good Morning Britain, I believe) and the other blood cancer patients and I had a good laugh at him. He was talking about how rejuvinated he felt after a bone marrow transplant and one of the patients said something along the lines of "I didn't feel great after that but maybe it feels better without the chemo".
hope you are thriving mate!
This behavior actually sounds a lot like the mindset caused by eating disorders. Every day is spent in pursuit of a goal, often weight or calorie based, and happiness is promised to come with it. They may monitor food intake, engage in rigorous exercise, and avoid social situations that threaten The Goal. But the behaviors actually end up horribly limiting the individual and creating a crippled social life, an unhealthy body, and existential dread. I see no difference between Brian’s immortality venture and someone whose anorexia has them in a chokehold.
Eating disorders and religious trauma share a root in control and black and white thinking. Makes total sense.
yep, I would probably describe this as an extreme form of orthorexia
you're completely right, as someone who's spent a long time studying eating disorders, i"d say he very likely has orthorexia.
@@samsara801 I think the same of Gweneth Paltrow. I heard her “what I eat in a day” and it just screamed orthorexia to me.
Especially the- “I take vitamins to get nutrients from the source and not from the food that has harmful things in it”
@@timarahmcintosh3592 Gwyneth has fully bought the snake oil she's selling. These people never explain how replacing your food with diet pills keeps your caloric intake sufficient to operate at regular functioning capacity. Probably because a lot of them are torturing themselves with deficits. Bryan here at least has a strict regimented calorie intake he's open about and says he adheres to, even if his behaviors are those of someone dealing with potentially serious mental health issues.

i'm also an ex mormon and i totally agree, its always so interesting when it crosses into the public eye lol
Really? When I saw that he was Mormon, I was like, “Makes sense.” I think with Lori Daybell, Ruby Franke, and Tim Ballard that I’m just assuming every criminal or weirdo is/was Mormon now lol. It’s sad because this extremely literal minded dude-instead of much needed therapy-has spent millions only to replicate his on sci-fi version of the church. Instead of the Word of Wisdom, he has supplements and a strict diet. He has a strict daily protocol not unlike the schedules missionaries follow. Eternal life is now living forever and reversing aging. Jesus is now, well, himself. He’s even trying to have his own world and people with his “thousands of biological and digital children.” Makes me wonder what weird, unhealthy things I’ve done to replace the gaping hole left from leaving such a high demand religion as the LDS Church … at least I’m in therapy lol.

My mom is almost 60 but people think she’s 40 all the time. How? She’s a high school teacher who has wild energy and gets shit done (and dyes her hair because she loves her red hair). That’s how you stay young, you do things and interact with young people.
She found a waaaaaay cheaper solution too!
My mom was doing like ALL of this (minus stealing my blood, I think) way before this dude. It's called an ED. Bro has too much money to get help it seems.
I guess people don't generally think about the possibility of an ED if the person is a CIS man.
Orthorexia is the one I'm guessing.
“I was trapped in existence.” That’s such a perfect way to explain it, damn.
Oh… so this all started because of religious trauma, huh.
And now he wants to stay trapped forever 😮
I’m an ex-Mormon and it’s tragic how much literally everything in his regimen and philosophy comes from Mormonism. The guy is literal minded to a fault and clearly miserable. His entire life is still constructed around and from the LDS Church. If only he’d use some of his money to get some decent therapy, he’d probably be in a better, more constructive place and he’d be able to leave his kids some wealth rather than literally bleeding them dry.
Ngl it sounds to me like he’s terrified of death because leaving the Church makes him confront the idea that there’s nothing after death

I study nutrition science at university, and one of the top Dietitian's in Australia said to us - "There's no point living forever if you don't enjoy the time you're alive. When people get to 80, let them eat their cake." What he is doing IS supported by science - his body is young, but his soul is already dead.
As someone that left the Mormon church...it will absolutely mess you up. It's not just a religion it's a cult, and this man instead of seeking professional help to Deprogram just decided to shove all that trauma down and be totally unhinged. It's crazy.
indeed. it’s clear that he hasn’t tried to deal with the existential issues about death and the afterlife (or lack thereof) that come from a loss of faith and instead decided to just not die.
this
@@LeeBee287this was my first thought. The Mormon church promises that faith will keep you and your loved ones together for all eternity in the afterlife... he's aiming for the same thing, but now he thinks he can just avoid dying period.
This, the Mormonism aspect is not being addressed enough. I hate that people TIPTOE around Mormonism because it’s been normalized as a legit religion , like no, they deserve to be exposed and criticized. Loudly. Maybe then people would feel more comfortable leaving and seeking therapy afterward.
His behavior is very much as you described, cult induced trauma in need of deprogramming. The joking about his “blood boy” is just… very deranged. He’s pretty far removed from having any perspective at the moment. The things he’s accomplished are incredible, it’s clear he capable of functioning on some level but where he’s at right now is so concerning. Mentally unwell and unfathomably wealthy are not a good combo for an individual’s well being.

When I first met my partner over 20 years ago, he was obsessed with a book called "Life Extension", that I think was published in the 1980s. He was taking mega-doses of hundreds of supplements a day, and had a big routine and schedule about when to take what, while eating certain things. It was really pathological. After a couple of years I "intervened" and took all his bottles to my house. He was kind of mad, but eventually we came to negotiated solution, where he limited how many pills a day he'd take, and cut out the mega-doses to RDA. It's taken him all these years to say calmly, "Everybody has to die eventually". We're both pretty healthy physically, but I think we're in the ballpark of not being insane about it.
As someone nearly this mans age, I know one thing; nothing ages you faster than chasing after your youth. This man looks older than his actual age.
Stressing about your age is the fastest way to lose your youth, also it's completely based on your parents so they have to be youthful looking as well.
I think it's slightly uncharitable to denounce him completely, he's a person. Also he does look 40-45 for his age of 55.
@@friedsugar2701He was 45 during those blueprint interviews. He's 46 now so… you're saying he basically looks his age. Doesn't look like that blueprint is working, does it? lol

Also the low body fat isn't helping either. Not too many wrinkles but his skin is so sunk in in a way that screams "sickly"
Dealing with mortality is scary. However, after my parent unexpectedly passed away, I've come to terms with it. Yes, the battle is painful. But being an absolute vampire is not better than what I've been through. Like literally, I used to be terrified by The Void but it's really not that way anymore for me.
there's something about your loved ones dying that make The Void feel like its breathing down your neck. you really come to some life altering revelations in that grief state, good or bad
I work as a PCA(personal care attendant). I watched my last 3 clients die. Watching them die didn’t put me into an existential crisis but it definitely gave me some perspective. Most people die alone in a hospital, all our goals should include having family to take care of us in the end of our life’s because I have seen people die both ways and the best deaths are when the person who died is surrounded by family. Dying alone is the saddest thing I have ever seen.
If I had a nickel for every guy named Brian/Bryan Johnson that went viral on the internet for their psycho health advice, I'd have two nickels. And that isn't a lot but it is incredibly strange that it happened twice
he did all this and…he still doesn’t look young. just a middle aged man who regularly showers, doesn’t over eat, or drink too much. It’s wild that the anti-aging isn’t the weirdest thing he’s ever done publically. i heard when people have a crisis of faith they sometimes fear death bc the afterlife they were told of no longer exists. Also D’angelo’s hair 🥺🥺

@@mikami1824 What data? The man has hundreds of videos and an entire website dedicated to said data. Watch it. Read it. It’s free.
I think something we don't talk enough is that for a lot of people, anti-aging IS fear of death. Aging is a natural sign that we are getting closer to the inevitable, so we feel that if we reverse/halt aging, we at the very least don't have to think about it, if not outright believe it won't happen.
He doesn't look young, he looks ill. There are so many people with similar financial resources who actually look healthy and in great condition without doing all this insanity. Theres a lot to be said about personalized diet and exercise plans and reducing stress levels - which does require a lot of money - but that still leaves you with most of your time free to actually live your life.
he genuinely looked better before he started his ai transition
He looks like Data from Star Trek
His skin just looks... wrong... like plastic
Aging means that you are still alive, and that is a gift. Social interaction and strong connections with others is the key to a long and happy life.
Having a religious trauma, not going to therapy to deal with the issues, being afraid to die because you don't have clarity on what happens next, deciding to become immortal and that solves that.
You hit it !!!!
Bingo!👏👏👏
Thing is, most therapists I've gone to can't work through the grief the loss of my dad left me, like, it's just one example, but losing him as a kid was one of all issues I had.
My mom goes through therapy/psychologists to cure her 40 year old trauma from being left out from Jehovas witnesses, yet, she still isn't cured.
I deeply don't think that 99% of therapists could handle Bryan and his unique thinking, therapists are quite okay at teaching out some of the most basic breathing exercises that sometimes work in a panic attack.
"go to therapy" is something people who want to seem full of empathy, but has no clue about what that is. I think Bryan is quite wacky, but to say "he needs therapy" is.... well.. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It strips agency from him and makes him seem like a person we are to talk about-- not with. Is every eccentric thinker someone who should go to therapy?
@@SirEmrikim pretty sure his pursuit of mortality is a good example of why he needs therapy. "Eccentric " is what you call madmen who happen to be rich.
@@greencaeilian5084 And how, pray tell, would a therapist deal with that. If you objectively hate the idea of death and feel it is your biological imperative to become immortal, how is ANY form of therapy going to help? I honestly feel similar to Bryan minus the religious trauma; if I die one day and everything I have ever done effectively is erased or is going to be destroyed by others, then life literally has no meaning unless it results in an immortal state that allows for perpetual growth and development
Why do we look down at aging as if its a bad thing??? 😭
Well outside of aesthetic reasons which are shallow, aging leads to your body deteriorating. You can no longer build muscles as easily, your joints ache and stiffen, your eyes, ears, and mind weaken. Theres also, you know, the whole dying thing.
I mean death sucks a lot
This guy is a nut case, but I kinda get certain points of the whole "fighting aging" thing. I have issues with hypermobility, and it's causing me to develop really early onset arthritis in most of my main joints (hips, knees, elbows, etc.). It's painful, really painful, and if someone looked me in the eyes and said "doing ______ will completely reverse your joint damage", I'd at least heavily consider it. But that's not how joints or bodies work, and I have to accept that. I can't imagine going that far down the rabbit hole for my own personal, and completely theoretical, gain.
death is scary and a lot of people never come to terms with it. that's what religion is supposed to be coping with.
Because aging destroys your body and mind? I would prefer to have full use of my body and brain for as much of my lifespan as possible tbh I don’t think there’s anything wrong w that in principle.
I really adore your gold cat-eye glasses with the gold butterfly clips combo, literally so freaking cute. A great video overall with a fantastic look! 🦋✨
im ecuadorian and idk how to feel about my countrys poverty inspiring this man to do all...this
I thought it was really weird and backhanded … talking about how they dont have a chance in life so im gonna start a multi-million dollar business .. like we get it, you fear poverty
Weirdly, as a 23 year-old, I have a lot of experience in a lot of the topics of this video, so story time.
I'm brazilian, just to clear things up. At 15, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I tried all the tradicional medicine and none of them made a dent in my symptoms (which cause severe blood loss and repeated ulcers in the same spots, which tends to be dangerous). After a year, the only treatments left were ones where I'd have to go to a clinic monthly to have medicine vein infusion, and that scared the hell out of my parents and I. So my mom decided to pull the brakes and try every alternative medicines we could find. I did superdosing of vitamin D (kinda helped), microkinesiotherapy (crazy stuff), a few different pseudo-psychological approaches, spiritual surgeries, the whole spectrum, with no huge impact.
So my dad's work colleague started seeing a doctor that helped him "change his lifestyle and be healthy" and theoretically solved his high blood pressure. We were on a waiting list for months, and the appointment was close to a month's minimum wage in Brazil. The place was extremely fancy, huge Apple electronics, a huge window over the city, etc. He told stories about how he had allegedly cured a girl's cancer and then proceeded to prescribe me 42 daily pills (supplements and actual medicine), and said I would no longer be allowed to eat gluten, dairy, corn, soy, tomato, sugar, animal products, or cook with any type of oil (without a meal plan like a nutritionist would provide). We spent another month's salary with the pills that needed to be custom ordered, and I just. Couldn't. Take them. Some of them were huge, they all tasted horribly and there's no amount of food that can keep that taste away. After like 20, I felt like I would throw up, and sometimes did. My parents became mad at me because the whole thing was so expensive, and it didn't help my symptoms at all. I spent Christmas eating only like plain steamed potatoes and kept losing weight. Everything was so overwhelming, the pain from the symptoms, the weakness from anemia, the amount of pills, the diet, my parents' pressure, that I lost a good 30 pounds weighing around 90 at the worst point. I ruined Christmas, New Years, and the only family trip we've ever taken with my grandparents.
We gave up, and I started the monthly clinic infusions, and I'm in remission. Since then, other doctors and nutritionists were horrified with what this man put me through, saying that these pills interfered with each other and ended up doing nothing but overwhelm my liver and kidneys (I also got a kidney stone during the "treatment"). So moral of the story: a bunch of pills don't do you any good.
The other thing is that my boyfriend has just returned from a 6-month exchange program to Ecuador, and I stayed there for a month. It's hilarious to think of an american missionary being sad about the state of things there, because in latin america, those who know Ecuador call it an extension of the United States. It has huge military bases, the economy is dollar-based, and the US has interfered with most elections there in the past 30 years or more. Outside of that the country is culturally rich and their people just voted to not explore oil in the Amazon forest, so they're a bit better at decision-making than a good amount of americans. Using that as an excuse to become a multi-millionaire with a company that doesn't even reach Ecuador is kind of hilarious. That's all sorry for the huge text
Hope you get well fast 🙏 stay strong😘
thanks for your perspective, and glad you're in remission and hopefully doing a little better now
Hey, as someone with chronic illness/pain, I just want to say that you did not ruin that holiday season and vacation. Your sickness got in the way and that hard not to blame yourself for but it was out of your control. I hope you’ve forgiven yourself for that and that you continue to be in remission ❤

This is literally a dystopic book and movie - It's Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro - where clones of people are born and raised just to be literal organ donors for their rich counterparts. It's like Bryan read that and went, "What a great business opportunity!"
Honestly, all you had to say was "his hometown in Utah" and I'm already preparing myself for the worst (Spoiler: I'm still going to be surprised at how bad it gets)
My dad used to work with this guy, and apparently he used to be super normal before he became uber wealthy (he sold his company for 800 million and owned 93% of it, so go figure). Just more proof that too much money messes with your head.
Money doesn't change you it just reveals the true you.

But he never knew this guy personally. It sounds like he was struggling with his mental health for a long time.
All that money, and all that weird science stuff for Jim to still look 43😬
Yeah, Like D'Angelo said in the video, when you get rich and bored bc you've got less to worry about, you start doing weird shit. Your brain starts finding weird things to obsess over. Makes me wonder if Howard Hughes was normal in the beginning, too.
seeing you in those butterfly hairclips of my youth (i'm an 80s baby) filled my heart with immense joy. lovely!
Imagine getting old and realizing you spent a good chunk of your younger years taking a ton of pills a day, avoiding the sun and getting painful procedures...
@mae8646 i think the by choice part was meant to be implied, but same haha
Avoiding sun is good for you actually (avoid sun, but not outdoors ofc), the rest i agree with.

@@alphazunitee Avoiding overexposure to UV radiation is good for you.* No need to avoid the Sun at all if you're using sunscreen or wearing clothes that reduce skin exposure.

At 23 I looked 15 (and was expecting - awkward stares).
At 40 I looked 25.
At 50 I looked 35.
At 71 I now look 60.

I'm 37 and people still think I'm in college. It's weird. I think it's just fasting? I've intermittent fasted for at least 12 years. And kept hydrated. Also no sun. My gmom had good genes, but was in the sun with tanning oil a lot, and wrinkled extremely.
😂😂 loved this entire post
@saliferousstudios i have pretty similar experience. I hate sunbathing, trying to eat healthy (fasting is great) and being 32 ppl always assume I'm 22 -25 at most.
When he starts looking like Frankestein’s monster, I wouldn’t be surprised if he claims that THAT is what healthy humans are actually supposed to look like at full health. Our perception has just been wrong all these years!
@@saliferousstudios I am currently 39 years old and have been told I look 16-20 for the past two decades … I don’t fast, and I’m really bad about staying hydrated. I used to get a LOT of sun during my childhood, but rarely any now (5 to 20 minutes a day at most). Also, I don’t wear makeup. Many feel this particular fact has done the work, and I’m sure it helps, but I bet it’s mostly genetics.
I left my mother's womb 39 years ago. As I approach 40, I can say with certainly I don't want to live forever, nor do I want to be in my 20's anymore. My life has gotten better and worse with age but that's part of it. It's sad to me he can't just focus on being the best version of himself.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so fearful of something so inevitable. He’s wasting his one life he’s gonna get. The irony is so strong I don’t have the words.

D’Angelo, you’ve done it again. You are the only RUclipsr I watch who not only consistently gets cuter every video but never misses either.
48-year-old here. He looks older than I do. He’s in good shape, but it’s hard to keep your face from aging when you have no body fat. He looks more preserved than young.
There’s so much shit here like: he has a whole day focused on fucking skincare and working out, but like, an hour for his family.
Second: like, this is just what a lot of celebs have been doing for years, only they get published to tabloids as diet plans. The difference is that this is a man.
Third: supplements are completely unregulated and total nonsense.
Fourth: nobody without an immense amount of privilege could do this.
Fifth: it really takes a cis man to assume he can continue to produce healthy children no matter how old he gets.

i will be 45 shortly, so i'm "his age." i have a decent amount of chronic illnesses and a fairly unhealthy lifestyle. And still, yep, look much, much younger than him. It's creepy how just bizarre he looks. Well, and is, lol.
The irony is that he looked way better before he started doing this weird blood transfusion shit
So wild that while he left the mormon religion, structure, belief, etc, he never actually got away from the underlying messaging/worldview.
If he had put THIS MUCH effort into his original goal of societal progress instead of trying to stop aging like an obsessed weirdo, he might save the world lmao

this lifestyle is honestly sad to see someone voluntarily going through day to day. I have multiple severe chronic illnesses, and brian’s daily schedule/routine looks a lot like the schedule of myself and others i know dealing with chronic illnesses. taking dozens of pills, following a very specialized partly liquid diet, exercising with such attention to detail, tracking your vitals, trying new weird treatments, and putting most of your energy into your healthcare routine is a lifestyle i can’t imagine choosing if there were other good options.
SAME. It’s all I can think when I hear about these people. I wouldn’t wish my life on my worst enemy (ok… maybe my worst enemy… but not any normal, garden-variety enemies)
@@ahoyhere8113You made me laugh with 'normal, garden-variety enemies' :p
God this is too real. I also have multiple chronic illnesses that take a good couple of hours of management every day. It's endlessly frustrating when it gets in the way of the things I want to be doing. Why would you go through this if you didn't have to??? (I guess he feels like he has to... But yikes)
Coming from a chronically ill person, there's a lot wrong with this. From the waste of medical resources he doesn't need while others struggle to afford their lifesaving treatments, to the idea that people might buy into this "healthy" routine based on false information. Honestly the guy just seems like he needs serious mental help, and to have people in his circle tell him that. He has so much money that it doesn't matter to him whether, or not these ideas are reasonable before funding them. This obsession with not just being fit, but being a literal teenager again, and this weird compulsive behavior to achieve it is just so unhealthy. He has to be scrutinizing every physical detail 24/7, that's mentally damaging AF Imagine the effort his body must go through to process 100+ pills everyday on limited calories.
He also took a bunch of prescription meds at one point. He consistently looks sick, and frail compared to how he looked before. He seems to have a savior complex while being completely disconnected from the people he wants to "save". Probably left over from the church, but instead of being one of many chosen people to save the world.. he's gonna do it all by himself, or make his own line of chosen ones. Like if he can't get everlasting Mormon utopia in the afterlife, then he'll create that utopia in this current life? I wonder if he still holds onto fears of his soul being damned, so he can't ever let his current life come to an end? Maybe without the promise of forever in heaven, life seems too short for him now? Whatever it is, shits not helping him. Idgaf how much they're being paid, why tf are doctors allowing this in their presence? Like at the very least theyre keeping him alive.. good god that's a low bar though. Get that man a damn therapist, and pleeeaase stop giving him my meds!
His son was also in a pretty vulnerable place when he agreed to do the blood, and plasma transfusions. His son had just left the Mormon church, and likely had no one else on the outside to turn to. Him, and his father had not talked in years prior to this. His family dropped all contact with his father after he left the Mormon church. So the combination of wanting to reconnect with a father you havent been allowed to speak to all these years, leaving everything you had ever known behind, AND the power imbalance of his father having massive amounts of wealth/influence.. yeeeaa that's pretty fucking questionable. The nerve to even ask that of his son knowing the vulnerable position he was in, and that it absolutely was not medically necessary in any way is beyond baffling. His son may feel like it's no big deal, but from an outside perspective it's looking pretty messed up. Very bizarre priorities for a father to have. He should be ensuring his young adult son has proper support, and fulfilling experiences. Rather than trying to reclaim his own sense of youth.
For anyone unfamiliar, when someone leaves the Mormon church, they are excommunicated from their community. Often that means families, and friends do not talk to loved ones who have left, unless they agree to come back to the church. People who leave have to drop all contact, they are not allowed in the temple which means no access to weddings, funerals, baptisms, or other significant family events held in sacred spaces. If the church finds out a family kept in contact with someone who left, that family will be shamed until they break contact. This isn't always the case, but it is incredibly common. Often people who leave Mormonism have no support system at all, they've been cut off from everything they ever knew. People who are "lucky" know someone who already left the church before they did, and can hopefully go to them for support. This can be especially nice when the person you turn to DOESN'T HAVE A TENDENCY TO ASK FOR YOUR YOUNG BLOOD JFC WTH!? Pure insanity.
People in the comments are really joking about, imagining agency for, and victim blaming the son in all this. He's absolutely a victim of his father's delusions, it's so bizarre.
Such an underrated comment
I'm still disgusted by what he did to his son. He did it based on a study involving mice, which worked...for the mice. It also made the young mice getting old blood age rapidly. So even if it worked, he was happy to doom his son just to make himself feel younger.
I'm pretty certain his son only got his blood drawn, I think it's a bit harsh to say that Bryan was "happy to doom his son".

Not a medical professional but I've actually been fed ~115 pills a day every day for over 2 years!! Used to take around 40 of them for every meal. It was supposed to help me because I was in a bad episode of my disease and taking lots of antibiotics too. The antibiotics were injected so I also had to go under several needles every day. But tbh the only result I got is me getting scared of pills. I mean it did not do me so much good nor so much bad (but I was sick at the time so my body was lacking lots of vitamins and stuff, unlike Bryan) it just felt kinda traumatic for 15yo me. Needles on the other hand destroyed my body, I remember having my veins collapsing and my muscles getting paralyzed. It happened over 7 years ago but I still struggle to swallow pills and I'm terrified about injection treaments. I don't understand how anybody would choose to do this on purpose without being forced to.
Fun fact! The use of a younger persons cells to prevent aging and 'live forever' was a plot point in a book series called The Declaration by Gemma Malley. Its done by the villains of the book to orphan children called Surpluses, both socially and as their names! This guy is literally doing the Torment Nexus bit!
Villains using young people's bodies is also a plot point in the Airhead series by Meg Cabot (who also wrote the Princess Diaries!)
Can't remember the name off the top of my head but there was also that countess or some shit from a story that would bathe in the blood of younger, pretty women. This trope has also appeared in several films.
Ooh and I'm the anime/ manga "Black Clover" this witch lady sucks a bunch of youth. Eminence in shadow has orphans making pills that kept the wealthiest alive

@@detroitmetrodolphinskullw h a t
They claim that the body is acidic, which is complete nonsense, however, even if it were true to “alkalize the body” one would have to alkalize the blood. But our body maintains the pH of the blood between 7 -7.4, which is already alkaline. If you were to alkalize it further, you would not have to worry about illness because you would be dead. Don’t worry, though, about alkaline water killing you. Our stomach is strongly acidic and any base that enters is immediately neutralized. The still acidic contents of the stomach then pass into the intestine where they are neutralized by alkaline secretions from the pancreas. So all of the water we drink ends up being alkaline anyway.
Gwyneth Paltrow… 🤦🏻♀️
^ yeah, exactly. there are some people with very specific health issues where the pH of food might actually make some kind of difference, and I guess it can have some smaller level of impact when it comes to things like reflux and other stomach issues, but yeah, most of the "alkaline foods" stuff is bs. I remember seing so much misinformation about that during the pandemic, I saw a thing being shared on whatsapp saying that the covid virus couldn't survive in an acidic environment (?), therefore you should consume alkaline foods (??), and it gave a few examples, including lemon juice (???), and some other examples were said to have pH values of, like, 21 (????). It's bullshit, it's people confidently using terms that seem complicated to a lot of other people who didn't get a great education, knowing that that's enough for them to be believed even when it's just wrong and potentially dangerous.
Seriously, you gotta share the wealth about where you find your clothes and accessories. You never miss and I love the butterflies! As for Bryan, I feel sorry for him. His whole life revolves around cheating death to the point that he's missing out on what it means to be alive and happy. He's chock full of religious trauma, he's got a helluva ED, and his self esteem is in the depths deeper than the ones that took out the Titan. Using his son as a tool in his ongoing "experiment" is just disturbing and just how are we supposed to know what supplements and pills work when he's popping them like tic-tacs? He's setting himself and anyone who believes in his ideas up for failure. It's honestly tragic. I hope he shifts his focus to his mental health eventually. He'll be better off and so will his loved ones.
Seriously. Dude needs to go to therapy for his existential spiraling and probably depression instead of ... whatever this is.
tbh this might be one of d'angelo's best videos. the full coverage to the commentary to the butterfly clips is so good
There is a line I saw recently from a student on tumblr about an experiment they remember from their childhood
"Science cannot account for desperation"
Any time i see a team of researches supporting niche studies with millions of dollars in backing, but no one else will support (or have access to) the studies they make, I'm reminded of their post. It's like when a student will lie about the result they got because they know they will fail the assignment when they didn't get the "right" answer
