At the end of this episode Bryan's true intentions become clear - he changed my mind! ALSO...If you enjoyed this episode please can you do me a favour and subscribed! It helps us continue to bring guests like Bryan onto the show and make it bigger and better for you all. Thank you!!
Less than 10 minutes in, this is the best conversation I’ve heard so far. What a remarkable man!
I joined!!!!! super stoked!
@Manouver9322you can visit Dr. Acula 🧛👨⚕️🩸😂
I thought those were multiple different commenters but turns out it’s somebody watching this one just a tad late at night
@@thewhiterabbituk Anyone can seem remarkable if they abandon all morality and ethics in pursuit of a self-centered goal. This man kicked his wife out of their home and refused to help her financially when she was in and out of the hospital for cancer treatment. He’s disgusting.
The number of times I’ve had “brilliant” ideas that I then was like, “oh, but I can’t persuade that because it would harm others” is many. Sometimes remarkable people aren’t remarkable. Sometimes they’re just psychopaths willing to step on and hurt anyone who gets in their way.
I love this episode! I am 63 years old and for over thirty years I have gone to bed at 9:00, I eat the healthiest diet I know to eat. I grow my own vegetables and fruits. I eat at 8:00 am and try to eat my last meal before 3:00. I exercise everyday and try to move at least 12,000 steps a day. I am incredibly kind to myself, the planet, and others and I wish every individual would be the same. I think that cooperation is key. I want all the destructive harm that is prevalent in our world to just fall away. I want to live. Thank you both very much.
💪 if everyone thought as u we'd become god's by now dont be discouraged believe in the butterfly 🦋 effect
It's the philosophy that keeps me going too 💪
A truly admirable way to spend your life, congratulations on taking care of yourselfe for so long! Did you find peace and security in this way of living? (I'm sincerely interested!) Peace and love!
Fascinating! I'd like to hear more
I wish I could have that schedule. I work so many hours I am barely eating dinner at 8 pm.
Do you need anything to help you sleep? I'm 58 and I do, frmale
I like this guy. He's living his life on his own terms and he's not hurting anyone. I hope he makes it to 200.
We should go to his 200th.
@@kelliez9991 Do you disagree?
I hope he lives forever
@kelliez9991 That's an interesting point of view. I think differently about it. I think there are times in most people's lives when they're unavailable. Like when they're at work, or exercising, or bathing or meditating, etc. It doesn't mean they don't love or care about others.
@@kelliez9991 and your way of living doesn't hurt anyone?
- "he uses his son’s blood for his own benefit": and you don't live for your own benefit at all?
- " I sympathize with his family and anyone in his life who constantly feel’s insignificant, unloved, unvalued and used": so you can read their minds, huh?
- "He needs to realize he isn’t God": so do you.
This is the podcast with the biggest plot twist that I have ever experienced. Thank you for this! I've been struggling with depression conciently for 5 years now. I have worked a lot to be in this state of mind. This podcast started with me being very suspicious and reserved and by the end I realised for the first time since I've been on antidepressants that I want to live. I never tried unalive-ing, but it's now the first time that I realised that I want to live. This is a huge milestone and that's why I am thanking you.
We are in your corner and cheering you on!
You probably have people in your life that you may not recognize that care for you.
been there i have closure after 8 years now. health and sports are my corner stone. i pretend im payed professional sports player in bouldering. every decision is healthy cause i have to train the next day and it gives me purpose and a goal. keep fighting !
It will always bring me joy and happiness hearing another human being say that I want to live, thank you!
He can’t hide his fear. It just comes out naturally, no different than anyone else.
But atleast he took actions
Everyone would love to erase the damage caused by eating this nasty American diet!!!
I've always felt Bryan struggled to connect with his interviewers and that the interviewers were never curious enough to ask the right questions. You've done that and more. It's the first time I've seen Bryan get emotional, and that shows you managed to bring a side of him out that no one else has. For that I commend you.
Completely agree he has all these people that are total newbs to the health field…I left with many more questions.
I loved his comment at the end, to know he got to have an interaction where he didn't feel judged was warming.
It must be hard to live a life that goes against social norms, especially living in a world where people are now full of judgement
Lol or he knows he doesn’t connect with anyone, so he’s getting better media training.
Yes! Bryan seems to have suppressed his own humanity. But in this interview, the human Bryan peeps through.
His purpose is Scientific. lm fine with it , it doesn't matter to me . Even if he is wrong. He is one with it. I am an emotional empath . I love listening to a different perspectives. He is not afraid, Love overcomes fear ! His motivation is Estimable!!!!
"I don't experience the emotion of fear." The ultimate sign of repression. The evidence would suggest he is more terrified of death than words can express.
Yes, you can see it when he speaks about his father dying.
possibly not death but the effects of aging. Retirement is horrible. when ur the weakest and brittle and begin to deterioate u gain freedom. so maybe he wanna get old but still have the body and mind that a young adult has so he can really enjoy it.
He is so afraid, which is why he is trying soooo hard to put off death. To admit to having fears is to be content.
Omg dude. Get therapy. So much therapy. But he never will, because he thinks he knows more than everyone else. He is so rooted so deeply in his traumatic childhood and upbringing.
@FlashySenap not working isn't freedom, its self discarding. You remove yourself from your social circles etc because you're 'finished working' when you then just rot away alone and forgotten, because you become scared of everything because your only companion is your thoughts and not that of a bigger group to moderate
Such a great interview! I 100% agree with Bryan on just how far gone we are as a society- we trash our bodies with garbage, we trash the sacred animals and planet earth the same ... we are the most vile destructive species on the planet! Yet when we hear someone like Bryan speak this truth to us, we mock them and disparage them... wow! Thank God there are a few remaining redeemable souls and maybe we can reverse course and heal ourselves and mother earth🙏 So grateful for the revolutionary work of Bryan Johnson💫
I love the way Bryan thinks differently and is investing in the future of humanity. Keeping an open mind is crucial, we need people like Bryan to imagine what hasn’t been yet. Thank you Steven for never being judgemental with your guests. I relate a lot to many things that were said during this wonderful podcast. Thinking differently is hard.
Wow! I really understand him ,this guy is not against death but is challenging humanity not to accept death easily. If we could change our perception about death and fight well to survive, we might live until 300 years 🤔🫡
Open mind is good. A critical mind is better. Wouldn't you like to see an interview with a skeptical biologist?
Reminds me a lot of many characteristic of Elon Musk.❤
I'm still in that depression he describes in the beginning. Mine started at 27, when I realized I was almost 30 and my life was nothing like I ever thought it would be. I have 5 kids. I'm still married. Still living paycheck to paycheck. I depend on my faith and sometimes medication to get thru the very hard moments. Every day is a struggle. I'm too scared to make the drastic changes this man did. Addiction, marital stresses, mental health problems, money, all of it. I hope and pray that one day it will get better. I purposely try to be better every single day. I'm 41 now. Four kids are still in the home, husband isn't able to work, so a lot rides on me. It just has to be better than this one day... This is why I watch a lot of these interviews; to learn something new that might help me and my life.
Why is husband unable to work? Surely he can at least keep up the house stuff and help with the children?
You have five kids and you're still married. Many people would find that a blessing.
Best wishes to you Roxanne. Keep up the watching & learning.
@@lucycat4305She could be married to someone else and happier
Roxane, search to gain knowledge of God and his promise of Eternal Life in Jesus, I am not afraid of living nor dying, because he promised to be with me in this life, and when I die, I will live my best life yet, death is not something to fear, instead is something to look forward to 😅, I will be in Heaven with the giver of life, the one who loves us the most, our Heavenly Father, put your trust in his son Jesus and you will enjoy peace under any circumstance.
I'm autistic and this guy is right up my street!🤣 no small talk, lots of sleep, separate beds, attention to exercise and intermittent fasting.. brilliant!
Same here. I eat and sleep healthy. I also include sex as my daily activity in my routine to stay fit.
Everyone claims they are autistic these days. Hmm…
I have to admit, lots of sleep sounds good to me.
😂😂😂
@@spaceantelope1 wrong. you can complain for that, but not in the internet. Millions people see these videos, many many autistic people see this.
You can complain about this if this happens everywhere in your real life, because there it is more weird.
His idea of being less destructive toward ourselves, eating healthy, getting adequate sleep, etc being weapons is not weird at all. It makes perfect sense. I’ve heard of this described in different ways. I’m glad he mentioned that because I was beaming from ear to ear. That is the revolution. That is how we help humanity and planet earth. I applaud what he’s doing even of many if us don’t fully understand what he’s doing. Something groundbreaking will come from the things Bryan is doing.
Death is inevitable. Because life is not only about the individual. It's important to embrace life, enjoy it and make it better for the ones to follow.
That would be solid advice assuming nothing revolutionary happens in the future. We don’t know anything about the future so I like to keep my mind open. I also don’t see how “embracing and enjoying life and making it better for the ones to follow” is in any way incompatible with trying to keep your body healthy
I've watched all this dude's other interviews and didn't like the impression I got from him. This is the only interview that resonated with me and I was even able to agree with many of the points he made. You have a skill in interviewing because you made him candid. Thank you.
I agree, this is the first interview with Bryan that I genuinely like. And I must have seen at least 5 or 6.
"didn't like the impression I got from him" - Understood. So for others, do consider Video @ 11:44 - "I left the Mormon Church" - Good for him ! - Mormon's aren't Christians - - - Bible - Deuteronomy chapter 13 and Galatians 1: 8 - Just read them, it perfectly describes their leader Joseph Smith. The followers of the LDS cult believe in Polytheism. Which of course ISN'T CHRISTIAN. - It took ALOT for this person to break free...🙏
You should watch his interview with Dhru. He seems really down level headed
thank you friend ❤, I am working very hard to properly convey ideas, be relatable and navigate the complexities of being me. Steven was an excellent conversationalist. He gave me room to express ideas. He didn't judge. He didn't interrupt. He showed a willingness to go wherever I wanted and was always there to play.
Wow, the 1st interview I saw of him was on Impact Theory, and I thought it was great! I did think that atom Bilyeu was being a jerk to Bryan. But Bryan was ignoring Tom's disses
Anyone who comes back from deep depression and / or suicidal thoughts & takes back control of their life like Brian has should be celebrated and not hated on.
He is generating data that is helping us better understand how life style choice, sleep diet etc is impacting us but by making extreme changes in his own lifestyle.
Thank you Steven for a fantastic episode 🫶🏼
just adopt the vampire lifestyle, you will lose your soul but you will be vital and looking young
thank you ❤
Thank you for showing us his human side! Now I can relate to him
🎉💯‼️
❤
This has to be one of the best interviews I've ever listened to. From both sides of the table, this was incredible.
I really love his philosophy and all the things he has to share and to teach.
I don't know why people are so triggered by him, he has his own story and as he says, it's what works for him.
I'm not aiming at being like him, but it's interesting to hear, and to see how some things can apply to my own life.
I am 79 years old. I weigh 122 pounds. I always took good care of myself. I’ve raised eight kids, mostly by myself, and my mind always made me do everything.😊❤
Im half that age, raised 3 kids on my own. I am disabled, faint daily and im obese. Despite that had a heart angiogram showing 0 heart disease. Doctor said its genetic. I look forward to living to 100 like my great grandparents but with incredible pain the whole way lmao
@@Masked_Official bro it's gonna be an achievement if you pass 50
@@howtowalkthrough6872out live you
it’s a life style and choice. I don’t think he is living the best life, well he doesent have a life he is too invested in not dying.
@@Masked_Official You might wanna cut out some of that goyschlopp.
I love how much Bryan owns his weirdness and acknowledges he is willing to sacrifice all these social norms to achieve his goals.
agree ....something i could not and would not want to do though
@@steveedwards3217 I feel like people can achieve lots of the goals without too much sacrifice. Just a tweaking of the protocol to fit your life.
Exactly. He has every right to live his best life. No one being forced to live with him.
He’s got too much insecurity within him. Who in the right mind would do to the extent of what he’s been doing? He’s got his priorities upside down.
AI generated comment to bolster his utter bullshit... What he is doing is braindead to say the least, absolute red flag propaganda to see how people react towards medicinal overload of supplements that supposedly "reverse" cell aging, you completely forgot that everything that is biological is under the influence of the suns electromagnetic plasma and will decay over time, You cannot slow that process... What he is is making you believe is insane!
TheDiaryOfTheCEO has become one of my favourite YT channels. It is the most informative, educational and enlightening. Thank you Steven.
WHAT A GREAT THING YOU GET TO TAKE CARE OF DAD ,WHAT A BLESSING HE CHOOSES TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU . I WAS DOING FOR DAD AT HIS AGE OF 86 > ADDING IN HOLISTIC DOCTORS WE WERE GOING GOOD ,I WAS IN COOKING SCHOOL AND WE BOTH THOUGHT A TRIP TO ITALY TO STAY WITH CHILD # 1 (SIS) > HE WAS HAPPY IN ONE WAY BEING FARE FROM STATES (MONKEYS OFF BACK) HE DID NOT WANT TO COME BACK -I NOT WELL ENOUGH TO FLY > HIS BODY TURNED FOR THE WORST 16 MONTHS HE PASSED AND WITH ALOT OF UNRESOLVED ISSUES HEAVY ON HIS MIND . JUST STICK WITH DAD ,DONT LET HIM OUT OF SIGHT ..
This lovely young man Bryan appears a bit like "Data" in Star Trek - a very jovial, positive-minded person - still weird in his expressions like Data, but, with such a humanity behind his moves, which is touching... It is really a wonderful interview. You are a master, Stephen, in providing wonderful portraits of people. You make us understand others. You participate in removing stigmatizing and removing stereotyping as you give the people who are different a space to breathe, a chance to reach us all.
Thanks Stephen for doing this. Thanks Bryan Johnson for sharing your thoughts, they are indeed astonishing.
This was my first thought, even from the thumbnail. He looks a lot like him!
what's fascinating to me is how different or weird ppl find Bryan. To me Bryan seems only slightly unusual, bcuz my own father figure was an ultra high functioning genius savant-like neuro-atypical aspergers/whatnot man. Incidentally, one of the most powerful and entertaning shows out in recent times is a French crime drama called Astrid, which portrays an aspergers/autistic spectrum woman and the acting, and the creation of the show really shows the genius level of French drama productions. Truly staggering quality, not that we yanks dn't do ok, but this is next level.
@@18_rabbit My son is neuro diverse and Bryan’s drive, motivation, dedication, facial expressions, dry humor all seem very familiar. So many of the most successful people are on the spectrum. The friends matrix! Love it!!!!
My exact thoughts as well!!
Totally agree ❤
He might feel like he’s 18 but he doesn’t look like it, especially with dyed hair. I’m an actor & choreographer & my MA research included Semiotics (how we convey meaning non-linguistically which includes gestures, posture, vocal tone/pitch/inflection/volume/pace/speed etc) & his physicality & facial expressions & uncomfortable laugh all indicate to me his entire being is built on control. When he says ‘it’s exhilarating’ there’s no posture/gesture merger. That means his thoughts are saying one thing but his vocalization isn’t matched with his physicality.
The way he explains he may be perceived as rude to others; he doesn't want to be disturbed from his morning thoughts by switching to be "nice" and engage with others; a list of 10 reasons he'd be a horrible mate...these traits/behaviors sound as though he's on a few undiagnosed spectrums. He sounds afraid of death. On the flip side he's an incredibly devoted son, father and friend. He seems to be a loyal friend. He has way more positive qualities than not.
i don't think he looks particularly good for 45, he looks late 30s and this better than he normally looks as the dyed hair helps, great comment!!!!!
Agreed, a real reflection on his internal/mental struggles. He’s really sacrificed human connection to prioritize his regime.
@raymondkymsuttle Those are spot-on observations. His whole demeanor is very stiff and seems to convey fear as well.
the biological reality of aging that i don't think he can reverse is the natural sagging of muscles and bone structure especially in his face. no matter how smooth and blemish-free he can make his skin, his face as a whole is still going to age like normal. by asian standards, his face looks about right around mid-40s to early 50s, his physique is the part that looks around 30s.
the genes are still the supreme deciding factor after all.
I love listening to Bryan, I've been binge watching all his videos over the past few days. As an entrepreneur and business owner in the realm of anti aging. I would LOVE to sit down and have a conversation with this man. He is so inspiring!!
It is truly commendable how you navigate through these challenging experiences while striving for self-improvement. I greatly admire the resilience your father demonstrated, sharing his journey with such openness. Remember, this is your life to shape as you see fit; do not let the opinions of others deter you. It's your journey. "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'"
It’s rare to listen to someone talking about a brand new concept of thought, but this really did offer a new perspective to ponder on….and Steven, as ever, your non judgemental and respectful interview style gave Bryan the space & time to share. I too felt emotional about the compassion you showed him & the compliment he gave you. ❤
Appreciate that! Thanks for listening
really interesting
You expressed your thoughts beautifully - exactly everything I would’ve said. Probably the best interview ever so far …
A lot of his perspective can be gained from having financial security, being physically fit, and opting out of the status game. Once you do that you can extend your time horizon, think deeply, and act coherently. Unfortunately most people are perpetually in crisis mode and makes them impulsive and induces quick-comfort seeking patterns. So from the outside looking in, most people seem "crazy" to Brian but I am sure he can remember a time where he was so stressed that all he wanted was a bottle of wine and a Domino's pizza.
@@louprado8319agree with your initial statement but for the latter, perhaps he said it unapologetically because every human being is an experience by itself. Maybe he knows and just want to put his message across and be heard as he's been enlightened.
Bryan’s closing appreciation of being listened to without judgement should resonate with us all. Well done Steven.
You've just judged every single person to be exactly the same. That's a very big mistake, I am certainly not like you, thankfully.
@@karendegenerous8044My take on this comment was completely different. I thought it meant that we have all, at some
point felt misunderstood or feared being misunderstood, so we may resonate with Bryan’s gratitude for being given the space to share without being judged.
I personally found Bryan's closing appreciation of being listened to without judgement, so incredibly moving. I found this interview fascinating. Thanks Stephen/Diary of a CEO.
EXACTLY! NOT JUST GODLESS BUT SICK IN THE MIND AND BODY. WE HATE it when ppl EAT KIDS BLOOD and SACRIFICE then BUT HAY It's FINE FOR HIM. SICK! @@kayamazule8075 HE is DEMONIC.
What’s wrong with judgement? I suppose a less inflammatory word would be discernment. If you just accept everything you hear without discerning truth from error - you are a very irresponsible person. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out flaws and faults in another’s ideology or philosophy.
This is not ripping this gentleman to shreds with my meanest comment. I genuinely think he's probably on the autism spectrum. He's obviously very, very intelligent. He is honest. He is interesting. He is friendly. But yes, many, many people would be offended by a lot of his blunt, straightforward, and some would consider selfish ways. But he's just unique.
I’m now starting to follow Brian more. He has defeated addictions and depression. And a top of that, he is paying to research this to share with the 🌎 world❤.
This guy needs to be shown gratitude, not mocked. Excellent, excellent interview. Well done.
I agree - his life seems sad and pointless to me. He needs to stop striving for this physical life- but on a spiritual life, and really living life- not just striving for a longer life
If one mocks a driven, intelligent, honest person, that says more about one than the other person.
I was watching this entire interview thinking, “Wow, so many of his ideas are straight up antichrist,” and then around 1:37:00 he actually states that he is. The devil and demons are clever and not obvious about their schemes. They masquerade as benevolent and innovative and good and harmlessly playful.
This man is highly deceived and I pray he wakes up.
May you also be given eyes to see and ears to hear what God is saying about all of these things. God is the only one with TRUE wisdom and goodness. Those who go against Him and His Teachings cannot and will not have ultimate victory.
God bless 🔥
This, for me, is another clear cut case of "don't judge a book by its cover". First time I heard about this man, I thought to myself: "Another lunatic with more money than common sense". This great podcast has just proved me very wrong. The guy is admirable, caring and perfectly sane, and he might just be on to something. Many thanks for this awesome interview!
I do not think he is perfectly sane. He seems to be traumatized from his long depressive period.
What an amazingly special person, I can’t wait to read his books. Great show thank you!
This interview was fascinating! Bryan’s perspective and focus is truly eye opening, and while it’s ‘out there’ I deeply appreciate him and his thoughts.
Thank you! Amazing!
My friend's great grandmother lived to 104 and cooked everything in lard, had a hot toddy every day, and active till the end. All the rock stars from the 60s and 70s living and still performing well into their 70s are more proof of connecting with people, staying active, and having a passion are what's important.
This is all nonsense, none of this will keep him alive longer than his DNA is encoded to. You have a cap on your telomere age
I appreciate the sacrifices he makes in the pursuit of understanding the human body and mind. His choice to not bend to social norms is refreshing and helps me and others stop being zombies.
Well put
The funny thing is Bryan gives the impression that he is a zombie😂🤣😂. Logic is so dominant is his way of thinking that emotions seem to take the back seat. Not to mention his tendency to think carefully before answering deep questions, like at the end of the segment.
This was my favourite conversation. It's not him that's crazy that's for sure. Beautiful intentions, just lovely, emotional, intelligent and he's doing something we all want to be thinking seriously about and definitely trying to get on board with too.
Valuable conversation. loved this.
wow, amazing interview, love the way Bryan thinks and presents his thoughts. I was skeptical at first, but now I can totally relate.
Being obsessed with not dying and going to these lengths to avoid death is not appealing to me personally, but it's admirable to be true to what's important to you and live your life accordingly (as long as you don't hurt any other innocent soul in the process, imho). This interview made me more aware of the need to question my automatic negative judgments about others that I've unconsciously allowed myself to adopt and to stop doing that. I appreciate the the correction.
Bros gonna die early
Steve I really appreciate your interviews and the kindness and empathy you share with your guests. You are a wonderful interviewer.
What a lovely observation. Hope that he *receives* your message.
total agreement
I agree Annmarie, Steven has a real authentic approach. I Loved his Interview with Rob Moore also, ruclips.net/video/rImSXqtYkss/видео.htmlsi=BrtT1_QDhTLxsznp
STEVEN. YOU ARE SO GREAT AT INTERVIEWING PEOPLE. STAYING ON POINT. RESPECTFUL BUT PRESSING QUESTION IN THAT WE WOULD ALL ASK.
I am from South Africa 🇿🇦 and I love this show
For the very first time I get him, I actually understand and appreciate and respect what Bryan is doing. Not only that, he is a person, a real person, he is human, he has emotions, he is a son and a father…..great interview….great chat!❤ ( note to self: I need to get my health right!😅)
Right. I try not to commit 'slow motion suicide' too. But I have more to do! Bryan is inspiring, to be sure!
I had no idea who this guy was until this episode, but I kind of love him now. He's completely misunderstood and is the antithesis of the bad reputation he's seemed to have garnered from the general public. He's unapologetically honest and true to himself. I admire that quality very much - being able to be thrilled by the hate sent his way and use that fuel in a positive way. I totally relate with the 'don't speak to me in the morning' sentiment and the hate for small talk. I've sacrificed those traits in myself to be seen as 'normal' and here he is just like, it is what it is. The corporate workplace does not agree!
And kudos to you, Stephen, for cultivating such a non-judgmental environment. You really do have a gift and it makes your interviews so damn good!
Anwyays, that was awesome and now im just waiting for my Whoop to deliver. 🤘🏽🤙🏾
Well done! One of the most compelling & transformative interviews I have ever watched.
Absolutely LOVE this particular podcast on so many levels. Bryan Johnson's perspective is fantastic and his intentions pure and true. He is utterly MIND ORIENTED hence his intention to remove the mind from decisions and his perception of perpetual violence towards self. In my reality this is lack of love for self, which stems from operating from the mind only. It is our (humanities) disconnection from our hearts and inability to integrate the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual that this stems from. He is essentially hacking the system through his method. But he is utterly disconnected from Self hence his inability to sense fear when he is quite literally terrified of death, primarily the death of his father. I hope that on this amazing journey of his he is able to reconcile this and surrender to the inevitability of death, which is, ultimately, a change in our state of consciousness. His work is amazing. Your work Steven, is also amazing. LOVE ❤
The end was very touching. Bryan expressing his appreciation for a meaningful conversation that lacked judgement was very moving. Thank you to Bryan for being the person that he and a thank you to Steven for being a great host over and over again. Steven, your willingness to learn, curiosity and manners are commendable. An inspiration to us all.
No inspiration to me. He looks like he's in his early 40s, and he looks like he is completely consumed with himself. Not a good look at all.
His goal is not to die. Fine. But I cannot see a connection to preserving the planet with this. I would protect the planet for the sake of my children. If the deterioration of the earth progresses at this rate, they are the ones who will suffer, way more than we do. What about the overpopulation of the earth? If nobody dies, the sheer numbrr of people will destroy the earth. However, that will not happen. I guess the rich can achieve 'immortality', which I don't believeanyway.. What about the poor? The food he has just shown off is simply is simply unsustainable on a daily basis for a lot of people.
Steven is one of the most phenomenal interviewers of all time. How he connects with his guest, how he make them open up is just so beautiful and not forced. So seamless. And honestly the only interviews I don't skip. Enjoy every min!
crikey
Agree. He has the rare combination of high IQ, high EQ, and high empathy. I bet some of his guests open up in in his podcast more than they have planned before. Similar things happenned to the guests of Graham Norton Show😂.
@@tiararoxeanne1318 well said! combination of both!
A lot like Louis Theroux. They’re very rare and amazing people.
I don't like him. He changes very abruptly questions
A good or productive life is not measured by longevity but by experience and the effects you manifest on others. Interact with your children, look up into the night sky. Misadventure and the unexpected will undo any considered action. True happiness comes from carrying a worthwhile burden.
Thank you for being so open, Bryan. I have similar experience of having pain in my soul and not being brave to do step forward and leave everything that keeps me unhappy behind. Thanks for inspiring me to change my food choices. That’s my first step towards freedom… But other steps are going to be very difficult to me. It seems that changing the food habits was the easiest thing I could do, while prioritising your will before over others is so damn difficult for some reason. I feel guilty if I am not pleasing other people and do something for myself since I got married. And at the same time I feel depressed not fulfilling my dreams…
Steven I think this might be the most valuable podcast that you have done. You brought an understanding of this man to a cynical world, that wasn't being brought by other media, and thus now people will think more positively on what this man is trying to achieve. This will have done him a huge service and perhaps in the long run, the world?
Bryan was asked if he has fear, or associates with fear. His answer was 'no'. But he does. We all do. He's afraid of his father dying. And he has a fear of death himself - he made it perfectly clear in the interview that he does not want to die. A healthy life and lifestyle is important, and I absolutely commend him for wanting that for himself and his loved ones. But in his quest for health and longevity, I just hope it doesn't spiral into an unhealthy mental obsession. He undoubtedly has a brilliant mind. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, and wish him a life of well-being and happiness.
Completely agree 100%. This man has MANY mental issues going on. It's VERY obvious. He needs counseling more than anything right now. Facts.
@@witchywomen6650No it's not very obvious. He's literally optimising for his health and you say he's crazy.
Yet most people sabotage their own wellbeing actively through junk foods, booze and cigarettes and that's mentally healthy to you. Proving his point.
@@M3Lucky any excess is stealing joy from life. He takes DAILY 111 pills. You are being subjective.
@@M3Lucky
Yes.
@@witchywomen6650 he's perfectly fine. He has objectives and goals.
I loved the way you interviewed this young man. You are masterful in your approach…Great job!!!!!😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I think this man is so awesome. I am very happy for him and grateful to him for his commitment. It’s inspiring to see there are many different ways to help humanity. Thank you! I am new to the channel and I have loved it so much.
You hit the nail on the head…. It’s not about being alive, it’s about being happy. I’m not here for a long time, I’m here for a good time!
10 years living life to the full is better than living 100 years in misery.
Bryan is right though. People are great at convincing themselves lots of things that are bad for you make you happy, but it's rarely true. He inspired me to eat more healthily, drink less alcohol and sleep better, and I've never been happier. Even though I thought all the things I had to stop or reduce to do so made me happy.
that might take a long time
You can have both, friend.
Dick Van Dyke springs to mind.
The human race needs people like this guy. His way of life would be impossible for 99.9% of the human race, but his sacrifice, so to speak, will enlighten and have an impact on others in a way 99.9% of us never could.
I don’t think he will live very long. I think he will have a normal average lifespan.
what sacrifice?
@@pamelalc63 are you being facetious? In his own words he's sacrificing a great number of things that most people take for granted and wouldn't be prepared to do, long term anyway. The vast majority of people would understand what I mean by that word so is your question literal (because you didn't watch it all and therefore don't know what he's giving up) or as a means of being passively and needlessly aggressive and sarcastic picking out a word to argue over. I genuinely can't be arsed if it's the latter.
@@Think-dont-believe Im afraid you have misunderstood the definition of the word sacrifice. Self sacrifice is the act of giving up one’s own interests or wishes to help others or advance a cause. That is what he is doing. By your reply, I’m guessing you’re still a child OR you haven’t watched the full video so don’t actually understand what he is doing. Either way, I’m not going to get into this any further with you, but trust me, he is sacrificing an awful lot in order to make scientific discoveries that may, in turn, help others. The end.
His sacrifice isn’t really a sacrifice his ridgitity is uncomfortable for him and the onlookers his ideas are lofty fraught with insane control issues. He broke free of his discomfort only to conform to a higher standard of discomfort he couldn’t even say after allllllllll this effort time and control that he is in fact happy, why bother with extremes, he just traded sideways freedom from an all encompassing religious dogma for science, physiology, existentialism to what end, you can’t control your own death no matter how hard you try, we all know a bomb in the bldg. is not predictable you can’t control other ppl. therefore you can’t control outcomes we walk in and out of other ppl’s web by design w/o ever knowing it. You had a better chance with religion at least you can be resurrected.
This is chilling and groundbreaking. It's unbelievable that so many people misunderstand what Johnson does: instead of producing blabla, experimenting with extreme health provisions and proving his success scientifically (and visually). I think, in the next years / decades Bryans work will have a huge impact on many smart people who are willing to sacrify for these health wins (but of course we can see his real success not before 30, 40 years). And Steven, you do a terrific job with your humble, 100% focused style, every time I watch one of your episodes, I feel like I'm visiting a friend while relaxing and being more and more motivated and admiring your art of asking the right questions. THANKS!
Thank you so much. I find Bryan really inspiring. And he is such a great and loving human being.
Just watched the beginning and get the strong impression, he has being traumatized and lives in fear. I wish him to be in peace with life, pain and death. Our souls are eternal, our body is just a vehicle for one life, our dear companion.
for someone who is living in fear, why does he comes across as content, satisfied, unruffled by criticism, and centered?
@@bryankilvinski Because you believe his fake front of confidence lol. I see a vain, materialistic man behind his eyes and actions, who is likely obsessed with overcoming his inherent mortality because of his trauma involving his father’s mortality.
@@bryankilvinski that is what narcissists do. Perfect a mask to hide their vulnerability, shame, terror, their absence of an inner core. You fell for the mask because it touched something in you where you have vulnerabilities. Take care.
@@bryankilvinski he doesn't !!!
@@123Mathzak watch more of him and you will likely change your mind, initial impression of pure joy and excitement is often seen as fake, but when you see him in all h is interactions you start to understand that he is not at all fake, and that he is just being his true self.
51:39 I don’t feel like you’re a weird person; I feel like you’re driven to accomplish your goals. I wish I had a 10th of your self discipline. Good for you for not being bound by social norms!
I enjoy how Steven dissecting each interesting facts and curiosity in this convo. And watching emotional spectrum coming out from Bryan (that includes giggling) is amazing.
This was so so fascinating and inspirational. Both interviewer and interviewee were incredible. Thank you.
The discipline that Bryan Johnson has on his diet and daily routine is mind blowing, also I can see how humble he is when he was answering tough question about his father's life and how he feels emotionally. On the other hand he is devoting his entire life to science to help the human race. This interview was just spot on.
I might not live the way he's living or agree with some of the things he's doing but I'm appreciative because we may end up with useful insights and developments due to his willingness to spend his time, money, effort and body on this.
I agree. People should just let him do and observe the outcome...
"I'm appreciative because we may end up with useful insights and developments due to his willingness to spend his time, money, effort and body on this."
Nicely said.
@@Nazemi96 Thank you.
Would you mind mentioning a couple of things he's doing that you don't agree with?
Just curious about what people are thinking! (Understood if you prefer not to say :) )
thank you, I appreciate your kindness ❤
I AM IMPRESSED WITH ALL THAT AND HE GOT OUT OF THE CULT OF MORMONISM
You are the best interviewer. You actually allow your guests to speak and you don’t interrupt. So many other RUclipsrs interviewed are constantly over speaking their guest. Great work!
What an incredible conversation.
I was amazed at Bryan’s brilliance but also touched by his sadness, kindness and innocence.
He’s still the teenage missionary trying to save people, bless him.
Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Save people from what? Inevitable death? He talks about governmental tyranny but what about continuing income inequality and social services like FEMA or Red Cross? Who can afford what he does? There's always that one guy who wants to cheat death every few generations or so. 🙄🙄
He needs God! Once he finds him, he will never let him go!
@@abxchange He is incredible . He does not need God , God needs more people like him !
His missionary expectations may have blossomed had it been the correct gospel because " Mormonism" is not it . True gospel is the " Good News " of Christ who saves us and puts us on the correct " spiritual path ". We don't save anyone actually, we only inform because the power is the " Holy Spirit" . 😊❤
@@mikeabrams8959 Yes 🙌
Only 11 minutes in and I'm fascinated by his brain. Steven is such a brilliant interview, allowing him to be more human in my mind. I was judging thus guy without knowing his story. Now I can see his heart. People are so beautiful.
I I I me me me. Sleep don't die. Hmmm.
Brian...I recognise myself in many of the things you did re small talk etc. I admire you for actually sticking to it! Inspirational.
thanks for being such a good interviewer! I loved meeting this weird wonderful guy through you.
Doctor Hubermann explains in one of his podcast episodes very clearly what OCD is. This man needs LOVE. LOTS of love. Death is part of life! And it can be beautiful to let go. It’s our egos that suffer when it comes to death - but the energy is set free. And what remains is still love - unconditional love. ❤
I feel sorry for this guy
I admire & appreciate what he’s saying. I think; him sounding alarm on AI is why we need to at least be open to his thought. We can do better thats for sure. I pray everyday people will awaken. God tells us choose life this is what he’s promoting. Yes, he needs love but then we all need it. Jesus spoke of the parable of talents, like what are we doing with our gifts? Multiplying our gifts blessing the world or are we hiding? Our greatest assets; ourselves! How we could bring so much more LIFE TO US ALL🙏🏻 More Love! Peace! And Joy to our world. Working with God & His children to me is a Dream come TRUE!❤
I honestly have no clue how I lived my life without ever encountering this podcast for so long. The guests on this podcasts are all such interesting people
The interviewer plays a big role in making them interesting. The right questions, no judging, making them feel heard.
@@GEUB💯
Yes I just discovered Steven last month. He’s delightfully different from everyone else.
❤❤❤
Just a shame almost all of his health 'expert' guests are sensationalist lying salesmen
I totally agree with your mission Bryan. What an amazing time to be alive!!!
So refreshing to hear a completely different perspective on living! Love this guy!! Respect 😉😊🫶🏻
Watching this already makes me feel like I lived for 500 years. There is something about too much money and emptiness. This is vanity and fear dressed as "helping humanity". There are so many over fed and lonely people in the Western world that have no idea what to do with themselves on a rainy Saturday morning, never mind living forever!
Yes! Spending your life avoiding death is NOT living.
So true! People have no purpose in life....
@@lanazh2443 Helping others gives one purpose, being part of society all the while stepping out of the matrix is a good thing. He is a pioneer.
@katherinegordon8088 very true, main thing not to regret it later
The amount of discipline this man has shown so far is by far out of this planet
He is RICH .. it is easy.
@@silverkitty2503nah dude, you’re just too dumb to get it
@@silverkitty2503You can buy water filters, air purifiers and clean your diet up and exercise and sleep. There's still basic things you can do.
@@silverkitty2503well, that takes discipline to arrive at too... Money doesn't buy discipline.
@@silverlake973 Yes it does and no it doesn't. You have more time to devote to things that build discapline if you have money and can create the environment that isn't chaotic and doesn't require fluidity. You can hire good teachers the best ... sure you can try if you are broke but its harder.... and easier to fall off.
I feel like Bryan and I are long lost family. Or we are both receiving the same universal signal. As a young woman I became suicidal after the loss of my first child. My solution was to join the military. Either it would straighten me out of get me killed. It did both but not the way i anticipated. I was poisoned by agent Orange and got bit by a lonestar tick. I was plunged headlong into a period of extreme illness.I skimmed the surface of death several times, in the last episode I decided enough, I do want to live. about 4 years into that I met a doctor of Chinese medicine. 10 minutes on his table was life change, path changing. I became his student later I became a DNM specialising as a nutritional symptomologist . I have spent almost every waking hour of my life trying to undo all the previous damage and restore optimal health. Much of what Bryan has said in this interview resonates in this interview. Currently my chronological age is 56. I take zero prescription meds and in my last blood tests I have gotten younger despite entering menopause. Through recent MRI tests some conditions disappeared. I am not as domineering with my life style as he is with my family. But it is sometimes a conflict for my husband and children to deal with my shall we call them idiosyncrasies. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I would like to see Bryan and David Sinclair together in an interview. Also now I am a subscriber of both you and Bryan. Cheers to both you Wishing you both good health and long lives.
This was a fascinating conversation. I learned so much. Thank you both!
I absolutely loved this interview. I had heard crazy things about Bryan but now I really like the guy. I have an almost affection for him. I think we should count ourselves lucky to have him among us.
Guys just watch things with an open mind, you don’t have to take what he says & does in your life, but this man exists. That’s a fact. Just let him live his life & stop the negative talk. Because it affects you too
Well said😂
Words have consequences
Man, they can deny what this guy is say all they want... I betcha you wont follow his concepts! I betcha your weight will disappear from around your stomach, and your back and neck.
We live in fishbowl attempting to kill us daily. And pharmaceutical companies designing medicine to medicate us until death. It takes discipline on earth to break out of the norm. If you want to be successful, I be dam if your brain don't attempt to cross you completely up. Don't follow what he is saying... Just make a list of the crazy things you do to your body on a daily basis. The sugary drinks, the lack of sleep, the garbage we consume, and we wonder why our head is hurting or back pain. Come on people, everybody can do better. This got me thinking!
I watched him with an open mind and came to the conclusion that he is a nutter with lots of money.
I agree, open mind and no judgement.
This episode is gold. Thank you so much for the valuable info.
I like how you walked through his life transformation and thought processes to see how his way of life fits together. And also what peoeple can choose to take away to better their own lives from learning from him. I'm glad Bryan seems to somehow help other people on their own life path to wellness.
Wasn’t sure that I’d enjoy this interview but was glad I watched. I’ve always considered death to be inevitable. That said, whether avoidable or not, the mindset of embracing the goal of “ just don’t die” could potentially alter the short sighted and self destructive nature of humanity. Depression and it’s side effects are counter to Bryan’s motivations. I truly appreciated this episode of Interview with a CEO
My attitude is that I want something big to have to kill me. I don't want to just weaken and die from bad practices and a lack of engaging in living life. I've seen plenty of people go that way. That's all I want to avoid.
@@PaulStringiniIt's a good goal to not want to kill yourself with bad choices. But our days are numbered, meaning that most people don't die of old age. The most diligent of people can die any day. And they do. Every day. People are not just flesh and blood. We (as our conscious spirits) live on. The desire to keep our flesh alive is not a new thing. The man in this interview will Not live to 200 years or whatever he claims. Your Spirit man will live on
What keeps the "don't die" concept in a self destruction by killing others in your way...is this what he is saying? Fascinating dialogue...
@@theremnant7497 Yeah, but healthy people don't just drop dead from nothing. Something big kill has to them. A disease or a truck or whatever it is. Yeah, you can die tomorrow, but what if you don't die tomorrow? The most careless of people may live to be 90. My dad never expected to live to see 80, so he didn't take care of himself and suffered for it. It's a simple lesson. "Don't throw yourself off the pinnacle of the temple, just because you think the angels will sweep you up." If I must be crippled, let it not be by my own careless disregard of reality, that does not please God.
@@PaulStringini Amen. Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. I agree. It's good to take care of our temples and try to be and stay healthy. We're not guaranteed tomorrow, no matter how we treat ourselves, but that certainly doesn't mean we should be reckless with our health. Long life to you, and God bless🙏
Bryan's war on judgement and social norms is incredible, love this guy and everything he is about
For real. The haters in a lot of his posts would drag me down but not him. I aspire to be like that.
He is not telling the truth. And the ONLY truth we want to hear, is EXACTLY WHAT do you do or take and EXACTLY HOW that improves your health. What is COMPLETELY kept in the dark is the exact content of the pills he takes and what each ingredient has to offer ... I mean look at this interview's topics : Mission, Context, Faith, Depression, Religion, Social Norms, Idea, Perspective, Danger, Happy, Son''s blood, NUMBER of pills but NOT content or purpose of pills, hair loss, posture, a.i , decisions made by your mind, think, the thing to know, missunderstood. All this is juts fluff with ZERO substance ... The sleep talk ? He said nothing special. Heart Rate Variability ? He said NOTHING on how to improve that (diet, exercise and sleep; thanks for nothing). ... WORTHLESS CONVERSATION. DUDE, the ONLY thing we want to know is WHY YOU DO THAT and PRECISELY HOW MUCH it helps. ... Is it so difficult to have a TRULY INTELLIGENT Human do an interview of Bryan Johnson ?
@@thetruthwillsetyoufree112 why the fuss friend? All that info is on the blueprint website. It would be lame if he just talked numbers every interview
@@briangreen4684 ... you 're probably correct, that the whole point is customization. However what I 'm saying is that we don't receive any information on the specifics of the supplements. ALSO, Bryan is starving himself. He is consistently receiving less calories than his needs. This is obviously not sustainable. Not one word on that. All these omissions are suspicious.
@@keepitreal7723 if you grew up Mormon in a tiny town you might be a strange person as well. I should know I’m Mormon near where he grew up. Considering how drastically he’s changed his life, I really look up to him. I don’t mind any quirks he might have. And his overall message is good. You can’t say that it’s not. Health first.
Edit: I left the church as well, so no longer Mormon.
I love this episode. Bryan Johnson is an incredible person. He knows who he is and what he wants. I really admire him.
Seriously so glad I watched/listened to this interview. Very informative and interesting
That dude is on a serious mission for the rest of us, much respect.
Really. You fell for this? Please do your own research. This guy is dangerous
@@daveken9936 dangerously stupid (sorry for the insult..... But that brain does not work how it is supposed to...... At all)
@@daveken9936 Holy shit, DANGEROUS even. He's dangerous to himself more than anyone else, if anything.
God is also on a mission for every single one of us everyday and He’s the only one with the ability to truly help us on a global scale.
@@jacklyndanielle to me and a lot of other people, God is how human beings cope with mortality. You do you, let us do our thing.
"I've never felt more free", with all the rules and restrictions he has. This says something about owning our choices, regardless of what they are.
I agree with what David said at the end. Thank you for doing such a good non-judgement interview.
This guy it's so inspiring. Thank you for bringing amazing guests to your show like this gentleman ❤
Fascinating man. He has his life so mapped and controlled to the smallest degree. I wonder his capacity to cope if he for whatever reason loses that control. Life can throw such large curveballs that can derail us and we have to be able to adapt, sometimes quickly to our surroundings. I’m glad he’s happy though. If he has such a regimented bedtime, does that mean he misses out on something as beautiful as a sunset, or to sit wonderingly looking at the night sky? To me, these are things that make life worth living.
Think he is a 9pm - 5am kind of sleeper. Probably doesn’t miss either. I think this man is very robust in his thinking. Suspect he would just work to get back on track after a derailment and see it objectively.
I’m sure he has the resources and team to manage things that would arise with basically a solid Billion dollars. And I’m sure he’s seen so many sunsets and will see more than others as he lives longer than most people ever will
@IshaqqRahim If his scheduled regimen allows him too.
I thought this was mainly SAD! He seems so worried about dying and staying healthy so he won't die that he's forgotten to live! There's a saying, "it's not the years that you live but about the life in your years!" Seven years ago, I almost died of a heart attack at 43. At that time, I was constantly worrying about my health or lack of it! I was spending a lot of money and doing my own research as well to be healthy. I still almost died while other people trash their health and have long relatively healthy lives. I learned through my experience to take care of yourself but also to mainly think about what matters which is family and friends and those in need. Make the most of the years your given with the ones you love. Don't dwell on death, LIVE! when it's your time to go, leave the ones you love with peace in their hearts that YOUR okay with going when it's your time. I believe because of God's plan of Heaven for us that this isn't 'IT'. I have a home in Heaven with no sickness, death or dying. He has some good points though.
By living so long he'll see incredible things that you or I can only dream of. He is certainly living. He's like a scientist on the frontiers. He's being asked for his views on stuff. He has far more purpose than 99% of people
Totally Agree with all this!
YOU'RE*
This was very interesting and educational as well. His schedule and protocol maybe too extreme for most, but it works for him and that is all that matters. He is definitely thinking and living outside the box. Thank you for posting this!
I just want to say I admire this and I think that it's wonderful that you know yourself so well. You are very brave! ❤
This interview will stick around with me for a long time. The first half of the interview with Bryan I had a tremendous amount of empathy for him and I felt sad because I didn't think he was living; then I realized that was my judgement of him and his answer surprised me when you asked him "are you happy?" Then the second half of the interview I still continued with my empathy for Bryan because I cannot imagine how difficult it is to be so different from society, receiving judgement constantly but yet feel so strongly and passionately about his purpose and mission. I could not live the way he does, I may be inspired to make modifications to improve my health but the way he is choosing to live is too extreme for me and I'm guessing, most of the population.
His philosophy of not dying and wanting to live forever is so different from mine. On RUclips I frequently watch near death experiences and out of body experiences which I believe have helped me on my spiritual journey and I don't believe living is where's it's really at; I believe we are here to love and learn and this channel has been amazing for my learning! I'm happy to question if my belief stems from my religious background or is it what I truly believe in. To be honest, life after death is what I truly do believe in, I cannot imagine my life without faith in God. I am happy to continue pondering and I appreciate Steven interviewing a guest whom has such a different perspective than most of us.
This is a truly wonderful comment. The kindness in your words can be felt and you made me think of this way of approaching things, by maybe taking a step back and checking in with ourselves, see whether we are about to hurt someone with words just because we may not agree or understand them. I think this is really a difficult thing to do and also so simple. And your words were a kind and very well placed wake up call. So thank you. I hope you are and stay well wherever you are.
So well said. Absolutely eloquent 💯
I agree-I watch NDEs and STEs and listen with an open mind, some don’t feel authentic but there are gems 💎 and DOAC is one of the few non spiritual I follow-it nice to see someone like me here- and i think we all need spiritual motivation to be more driven to LIVE and live better. If we followed the blueprint who knows the clear channels we would all become so much healthier and more connected in pure thinking rather than delusions/addiction.
It's not life after death its life after life just in a different energy and no pain 😊
@@maryharris8939yes, the energy will remain, but your body will disintegrate and become something else. Why do people believe that their consciousness/personality will survive? I've seen enough people fall victim to organic brain damage from accidents/cancer/strokes to know that who we are, our memories and personalities, sense of humor, etc is organic in nature. Brain damage can completely change who you are. And if your memories and personality cannot remain after death, its sort of pointless if anything else survives. I believe the experience we have after death is identical to the one before birth. Nothingness. Some people find the thought of the universe going on without them in it to be terrifying, so they invent scenarios that might get around this problem
And I thought I was hardcore and weird! What he's missed though is the holistic value of going rogue, living on the edge, taking a risk, eating the desserts , having fun with friends and intimacy with a soul mate ….thats life giving years without question... cheers 🍻
Yes fun endorphin releasing connections 🎉
This guy is totally crazy!
The only time I havnt enjoyed life is on hangover days, and the night before (usually epic in some way) always made up for the hangover days.
I'm 65 now.
Wouldn't want to live like this guy for one minute!
@@Ln-cq8zuthan don’t. Easy
The last quest's question and answer made me cry, thinking about so many that don't feel the need to prioritize true life, including myself. This imterview will be on my mind for a long time.
The interviewer has gained a newfound respect from me with how transparent and genuinely he interacted with his guest. My first encounter with one of his videos made me wonder if he was kind of arrogant, and this video, amongst other great videos have reassured me of his kindness. I think different like this man, and it is a breath of fresh air when people aren’t interjecting every two minutes making it hard to continue a line of thinking just bc they have a mental block to thoughts that I have. People reject different and I’m weird so ppl reject me sometimes.
I think Bryan would do well to dive into research on intrusive thoughts. He clearly has them, intermingled with anxiety, depression, and heightened analytical thinking. I recognize attributes in various family members when Bryan describes how his thinking and mind and emotions work together. I believe he would have found benefit from intense exposure therapy when he was younger. I hope he finds what he is looking for as he navigates this life.
He's doing what he thinks he can do, that makes him happy, and good for him though I think his wounds are very deep and not healed, very distant.
I love this guy!!!! This interview has been so wonderful to listen in on.
