I think people should understand that this guy is being studied by scientists and he is aware of how crazy his protocol is for the average human. Although an n=1 is not going to be anything significant to draw from, it could be an interesting case study as it’s very difficult to have an intervention human study long term with excellent compliance to a protocol. I appreciate his working with scientists etc.
The dude's a billionaire. He could finance real longevity research with larger cohorts instead of spending millions on himself. This would actually help towards real innovations that other people could use instead of focussing entirely on himself. He seems like a nice guy, but anyone having that kind of money has a huge societal cost and the idea that what he's doing is commendable misses the larger implications of what he's doing
I'm afraid that any conclusions he ends up with will scientifically be negligable in the future but that he will instead wind up as an example used in psychology books in terms of the lengths that obsessive behaviour can lead to, as well other things we are unaware at this moment as he has just embarked on this journey. Guess time will tell.
Ehhhh, the whole "study" aspect of this is incredibly questionable when you consider who's doing it, who's funding it, which institution is doing it, and what the remainder of the scientific community says about the plausibility of the studies. Edit: I'd like to expand on this because I was a bit vague. The quality of the "studies" is a huge issue. I don't think they will be usable in any meaningful way other than to be compiled as a single case study. It will also be a pretty unhelpful case study because of all the things he's doing at once. The end result will not demonstrate that any of the things he does is effective because they were all being done at once. What was redundant? What had a detrimental effect? What had a positive effect? We don't know. We'll just know that doing the specific things he did leads to a specific outcome in this specific person. In addition, many of the things he does actually shouldn't be done simultaneously and can hinder or altogether cancel out eachothers effects. This makes any data even less useful. The "study" aspect is redundant because we can't glean anything useful from it.

I took Accutane in my late 20's and 30's. My skin is now very dry. I had adult cystic acne. I did not have acne as a teen. Now I use rose oil in addition to moisturizer/sunscreen. I also have autoimmune disorders. This guy is way out there.
He microcodes which is what your supposed to do in the first place. Your old ass just took it when no one knew how to dose it right. I microdose as well and get phenomenal benefits with no dryness
@@TrayvonJones952 you didn't mention your autoimmune disorders. That plays a huge role as well. Educate yourself before posting comments like this.

@@Tennyhu People donate blood to keep other people alive, which is not the case with this man. He's taking blood from his son for his own vanity/experiment.
When he does that throwback of before he gained back some facial volume… woah. I see a difference now… he looks healthier for sure. Younger? Idk, but definitely more of a more normal looking mid 40 year old.
I have been following this fellow for a bit now. He has strong team of MDs behind his studies. He is monitoring every organ he has...his sleep cycle ..etc.Very informative information...Will be interesting to see his the long term effects. He has a very structured ridge life..not for everyone. But am glad someone is doing it
He is definitely a trendsetter for us. Luckily he has been he money, desire and discipline to do this. Most people can’t even make it to the gym I’ve a week but yet criticize!!!
Yes extreme for the average person who doesn’t have access, time or $$ for these devices, but loved Dr Drays positive reaction to the things that we can and should do! Thanks Dr Dray!
I was put on Accutane as a teen and although it completely cleared up my acne for life, it also completely changed my skin and hair still almost 30 yrs later. My lips and eyes have been dry as a dessert ever since and my skin is chronically dry no matter how much I moisturize. My hair thinned out too and had never thickened back.
i’m so happy to watch your reaction to Brian’s skincare video! I think it’s interesting to watch his routine because he is measuring results and basically experimenting
He reminds me of the Life Extension/anti-aging duo in the 70's/80's Dirk Pearson snd Sandy Shaw. They took a lot of supplements and HGH then, I don't follow them so I am not sure if this pathway ever benefitted them. I remember thinking that they never looked healthy to me.
Celluma is wonderful. I’m an aesthetician and I use their panel almost every day in my treatment. Even with only 15-30 mins of use, any inflammation on my client’s skin is greatly reduced. Skin brightened. I also used my panel to reduce bruising and inflammation immediately after a lower bleph surgery. I had almost no bruising at all. Even the nurse at my daily post care appts were surprised . Red light works. But often the main problem at home is: people are not consistent with use , and expectations are unrealistic as they really don’t understand what is possible and what is not.
I have Omnilux and use it almost every night and I immediately notice that my skin is a lot more even and softer in the morning compared to when I don’t use it the night before.
I love Volufiline. I use it after a series of heat treatments such as rf, laser or red light. It holds it's volume for me until I do another heat series. Then I just do it again. However, it can also be used in conjunction with a warm device. Such as right after a red light treatment. The warmth actually makes it work better. I've been using it for years after these treatments. I use it until I get the desired results and then I'm good to go. I also don't use red light every single day. I do a series and then let my skin rest. I'm 52 and never had fillers. Another product I've used that I absolutely swear by for similar results is Caviplla. These have been a huge save for me after any treatments that might shrink my fat cells.
Interesting, just watched that video yesterday and now I‘m excited to see your reaction to it! I feel like this was the first video where Bryan Johnson actually looks really healthy and it feels like what he is spending all that money on is finally working to change his appearance.
Same, but when they showed what he looked like a few years ago, I finally recognized him and he does look significantly younger from then. But I still have no idea who he is. I recognize his face, but that's it.
Blueprint is so interesting! And I love Bryan’s attitude. He’s sharing everything he does, all the data and he doesn’t expect or think that people should do everything he’s doing. He’s treating his body as a science experiment and he’s said that he’s trying to invite competition. He wants people to disprove him and to start a conversation/development in this field. He’s very intelligent and addresses every aspect of his life to promote longevity. Would recommend all his videos to everyone if you want to change your approach to health 🙂
Jennifer Myers is achieving what he's trying to do through simple persistent habits. She's fascinating and shares super easy to follow advice which she's followed for 20+ years.
But Bryan hasn't been doing this or any healthy routine for himself in the last 20 years he done the opposite and he is trying to reverse damage. Totally different thing
So interesting. I just love you Dr. Dray, you have such a wonderful, logical, realistic viewpoint on everything. I also invested on UVA blocking film for my windows AND tinted windows in my car for myself, hubby, and our kids!
I like that he’s trying these things. I don’t have the resources, motivation, or patience to conduct a protocol like this one -it is steady, controlled, and takes a lot of commitment and effort- so I am very happy that this information is made available on the web.
If he softened his hair color, and lightened it up to a strawberry blond (since he's obviously a redhead) it would instantly make him look more youthful. Personally I think guys with salt and pepper, or silvery white hair looks amazing. It's the severity in contrast between skin tone, and the black or dark opaque hair dye that visually tends to age someone, or makes them look uncanny somehow. It feels or seems like he has a very real fear of dying one day. Hence his obsession with trying to "live forever." It's that psychological aspect of the natural process of death and rebirth that I believe he would see the most amazing benefits from, if he stops worrying about something that has to happen many years in the future. Because the cumulative affects of cortisol and other stressors that the body can be flooded with when in a constant state of fear or high alert is like setting his system on FF.
well he looks great. all this effort to live longer and look younger puts lot of anxiety though imo.. but thumbs up for this guy. definitely his face looks better compared to the past footage
I admit i was super sceptical. BUT. I appreciate that he doesn't hype his treatments and seems like scientific and careful with them. I probably won't be trying majority of those things, mostly because i don't have his resources, but i appreciate his contribution to science. Good luck to him.
Although I fully support his project I don't think he looks more like an 18 year old compared to a few years ago. He still looks the same to me. There's only so much you can do to REVERT aging. Prevention is key in my opinion!
Yes, he’s mentioned in an interview that he has done major damage in his youth that he is motivated sure can ever be reversed. He’s essentially using himself as a guinea pig for science.
Interesting what people will do.. as a double lung transplant patient 6/17/2015.. I do not recommend ANYONE take medications that are for immunosuppression that ARE for a transplant patient.. These are harsh on the body and you never know what these are doing to you.. SMH!!
I understand he’s doing everything to stay young. his high maintenance routine however, is not realistic and doable for regular folks. He seems like he’s colored his hair dark to look younger too. (His pictures when he was little and a young man show he was blonde) good for him for going the distance to look young. He has the means and the resources to do so.
From first impression my jaw dropped 😂😮. The skincare graveyard 😅😂 just the basics😂. If it doesn't fit the protocol man talking about seriousness . if it doesn't it's out 😂❤. I liked the basic routine cleanse-moisturize-sunscreen and tailored accordingly to the budget of every individual differently. Now the house clinic of his too far stretched from my pov and its cost 😅 frightening. Oh the protective film on the Windows i really liked that a lot. Although I'm not sure how much of the uva is blocked ?😅. At the end everything comes to boil to the basics and everything else is far and beyond our reach. I really enjoyed it thanks Doctor Andrea for reacting to it 😊❤ have a great day.
My body doesn’t like red light therapy. I tried 3 times and I had heat allergy, and I never had any allergy or reaction before in my life. I’m Brazilian so I’m used to heat and sunbathing, and I’m also used to sauna - and it’s always been fine, but not red light therapy
I actually kind of appreciate what he's doing because he's offering himself up, at an extreme, to the benefit of human knowledge. They're running some very intense tests on him and have actually been learning a lot more than they would have by normal test standards on large groups. It's absurd, but hey...some of us are put on this Earth for a mission. This must be his.
I have some rosacea, am over 60, so I also have fine lines and sagging skin issues from aging. I have been using the Omnilux Contour red light mask for about a month, every other day, and I have seen some improvement overall. I plan to continue the every other day 10 min treatment on my face for 4 months to see how much improvement I get.
Never heard of this guy. Pretty intense skin care routine but to each their own. Do whatever works for you and makes you happy. I appreciate your thoughts on this, Dr Dray. Happy Thursday! Hope you have a tranquil evening. 💜
Glad he has some good advise, but most don’t have the time & $ to spend on his routine. Hope he makes time for family , friends and enjoys all the beauty of nature, which does a lot for one’s over all well being. It would go along way in staying young at heart! ❤
I do like the information that Bryan is sharing and I've adoped some of these cheap and less invasive methods (Cetaphil, power to the People cleanser, red light therapy), while being conservative of others. I don't take oral tretinoin, but use the topical and have for years and at 54, my facial and neck skin is as healthy as I can make it and I am told I coukd pass for my 30's. I am using Adapeau, but not sure if I will continue. Thank you for your channel Dr. Dray, I listen to you regularly and am a subscriber.
It's crazy how rich people can get doctors to prescribe anything. Before online dermatology providers like Curology or Musely, lots of people had a hard time getting doctors to even prescribe tretinoin for cosmetic reasons, and he's taking all these different drugs for no real reason.
I still cant get tretinoin prescribed in my country (my country is still stuck in stone age in a lot of things). Tretinoin here is prescribed only for severe acne but Im not getting prescription for it if I want it for antiaging.
The other consideration with the meds that he’s on is - the interaction between everything that he is ingesting… meaning, in studies they usually only study one particular drug - not all of them “mixed” together. That would concern me. Just thoughts..
I honestly believe it all comes down to our genes. I use all the trendy creams/Spf/LED mask/IPL (you name it)and I don't see myself aging ANY better than people my age. While my mother-in-law, soon 77, she's never used any sun protection (we live in Spain) she swears by this one cream she's been using for 15 years (believe me: nothing special) and she looks AMAZING! Her son, my partner, is exactly Bryan's age and he really looks thirtish...needless to say he doesn't do ANYTHING, I sometimes force him to wear a suncream when it's hot. So...if you have good genes, you don't even have to do that much. The rest of us...we can only try to age as gracefully as we can. That's why I am very sceptical about all these influencers who swear by their routines: they may just have great genes. ❤
You're absolutely right. On my mom's side of the family the women all look 20 years younger than their actual age; my mom, aunts, nan, etc. My dad's side, they age "normally". I have 2 sisters, elder and younger, and we are all in our early 40s. They both take on my dad's side and look their age. (Fortunately 😅) I take on my mom's side and I'm told all the time I look like I'm mid 20s. Genes definitely play a big factor in all of this. It's either that or you're getting some procedures or treatments done.
Your mother-in-law doesn't stress about aging as much. All these trendy followings keep you in the fear of aging. Stress and fear will make you look old no matter the trendy potions you put on your face or in your body. Happiness and living in the moment will keep you young.
Completely agree with original comment. Also love how people keep on pushing the "research" narrative. That's not how scientific knowledge is made. This "study" has 0 validity.
@@missioncodezas an actual scientist i can tell you this is not even close to being "research". he is a random singular person paying people to entertain him with generating numbers. if he actually cared, he could spend all this money on donating to real research on a larger scale that actually has promise and would help treat diseases etc.
My mom turns 79 in February. She looks 60. I am 55. I routinely get told I look 40. All I’ve ever done is moisturize. It’s genetics. You can do all the things, but if your genetics don’t line up, it will make little difference.
Seems like he's pretty much always going to look the same age. All his results are going to be invisible things like telomeres and DNA methylation genetic age tests and things like that. Which, idk if I really trust the accuracy and reliability of those things or not. Maybe what he's doing only makes it seem like he's younger according to those testing parameters but in reality it doesn't do much. Idk
Hi Jackie! Happy Thursday!! How are you today? I hope you're well and that you had a fabulous day. Much milder weather today. In the 40's and sunny. I sure do it wish we'd get some snow. Just enough to make everything beautiful. I had a good day. I'm glad to be home now and ready to relax and have tea with my dear, sweet friend. What do you say to putting our feet up, having a nice, hot cup of tea and cuddling with our kitties? And a naughty treat too! I hope your evening is cozy and warm. Peace, joy and many blessings to you always. 💙🙏💙🕊💙🐈☕🐈☕💙⛄
If nothing else then at least I hope he will convince people to wear sunscreen. I tend to think that people are reasonable on this subject and then I meet someone out of my circle and it turns out that they think sunscreen is poison 😭
Thank you for humanizing this man. I've seen his interviews in passing and have been pretty judgmental. He's actually a role model for us all in many ways with some pretty decent and free advice for those of us who don't own a clinic ourselves. Also, the fact that he made a joke about a vampire proves that he isn't a robot after all. Shame on me. He seems like a very intelligent, man dedicating his body to science prior to his death unlike those of us who wait until we no longer need our bodies prior to offering it up to the local medical school.
Maybe unpopular opinion, but I’m not mad at what he’s doing. He has money to actually measure what his routines may yield, something is average folk don’t have access to, but do in our way. We use products, assess its efficacy, keep or move on. The IPL was the only thing I was meh on.
THANK YOU for explaining all of these things I watched it and was like - some of these things I have no idea about and I wonder if these treatments are worth trying.

@juliet9385 you must have an olive skin tone too. I have to watch for hyperpigmentation.
@juliet9385 maybe we should ditch all this beauty stuff and go back to baby oil and iodine...how I remember those halcyon days
@juliet9385 post a pic so we can see for ourselves that you actually look young for your age with all the damage you've done to it.
On a side note, this video just proves why I trust & enjoy the content/information Dr Dray puts out. Thankyou for all you do.
Finally youre covering this guy. I was so curious what youd say about this!
thanks for watching
This guy is too much even for scientists.
I took Accutane in my late 20's and 30's. My skin is now very dry. I had adult cystic acne. I did not have acne as a teen. Now I use rose oil in addition to moisturizer/sunscreen. I also have autoimmune disorders. This guy is way out there.
He microcodes which is what your supposed to do in the first place. Your old ass just took it when no one knew how to dose it right. I microdose as well and get phenomenal benefits with no dryness
@@TrayvonJones952 you didn't mention your autoimmune disorders. That plays a huge role as well. Educate yourself before posting comments like this. Im a psychologist and I know a good bit about the medication, the anatomy, effect and interactions. My a$$ is in fantastic shape as the rest of my body. You are probably 400 lbs'living in your parents basement and making snarking commentsbmake you feel better about your inadequacies. Im certain my attitude is significantly kinder and more positive. I wouldn't dream of posting what you did. You could use some time learning how to behave as if you were human.
Seems there’s a connection with taking accutane and health issues as you get older? I also took it and have autoimmune now
Some 20-30 somethings out here looking like they’re in their 40s. He looks good
I also took it as a teen, autoimmune disorders now.
Thanks -- so nice to have your voice of reason & science rise above the anti-aging "noise"!
I appreciate him trying all these products for us
Don't be, he's not doing any studies on it. One man try out. Completely irrelevant
He‘s not doing it for you. He‘s doing it to sell stuff to gullible people
@@Andrea-ue7gv what skincare product is he selling then?
Thanks for being an EXPERT voice of reason.
He clenses, moisturises uses red light therapy and wears sunscreen. Why is everyone acting like that is extreme or crazy ?
Because he looks like someone with a bad surgery
Why are people so critical of this man? Have you ever heard :If you have nothing good to say,Say nothing ! Looks bad on all of you.Not him.
Using his son as a platelets doner is weird...
@@justmechilling... people donate blood every day
@@Tennyhu People donate blood to keep other people alive, which is not the case with this man. He's taking blood from his son for his own vanity/experiment.
The collab I didn't know I needed
I was expecting a much crazier routine from this guy! Interested to hear more of what works / what doesn't.
So glad you covered him! I’ve been following his journey for a while now
When he does that throwback of before he gained back some facial volume… woah. I see a difference now… he looks healthier for sure. Younger? Idk, but definitely more of a more normal looking mid 40 year old.
I really like this overview. His experience is interesting and I’m glad he’s sharing it.
Speak science to me, Dr. Dray. I'm hooked! Thank you 🥰
I love Bryan. Thank you for covering this.
I hope to be a doc like you soon. Thank you for being a great role model.
I have been following this fellow for a bit now. He has strong team of MDs behind his studies. He is monitoring every organ he has...his sleep cycle ..etc.Very informative information...Will be interesting to see his the long term effects. He has a very structured ridge life..not for everyone. But am glad someone is doing it
Way too rigid...what a life!
@@twincherry4958for you*
Involving his 17 year old son is a bit yikes though
He is definitely a trendsetter for us. Luckily he has been he money, desire and discipline to do this. Most people can’t even make it to the gym I’ve a week but yet criticize!!!
He's 1 person. Research needs to be on a wider scale in order to determine anything. Someone else could have the complete opposite effect.
Yes extreme for the average person who doesn’t have access, time or $$ for these devices, but loved Dr Drays positive reaction to the things that we can and should do! Thanks Dr Dray!
this is definitely the scientific most skin care review you ever done, I enjoyed it 😃
I was put on Accutane as a teen and although it completely cleared up my acne for life, it also completely changed my skin and hair still almost 30 yrs later. My lips and eyes have been dry as a dessert ever since and my skin is chronically dry no matter how much I moisturize. My hair thinned out too and had never thickened back.
i’m so happy to watch your reaction to Brian’s skincare video!
I think it’s interesting to watch his routine because he is measuring results and basically experimenting
He reminds me of the Life Extension/anti-aging duo in the 70's/80's Dirk Pearson snd Sandy Shaw. They took a lot of supplements and HGH then, I don't follow them so I am not sure if this pathway ever benefitted them. I remember thinking that they never looked healthy to me.
Celluma is wonderful. I’m an aesthetician and I use their panel almost every day in my treatment. Even with only 15-30 mins of use, any inflammation on my client’s skin is greatly reduced. Skin brightened.
I also used my panel to reduce bruising and inflammation immediately after a lower bleph surgery. I had almost no bruising at all. Even the nurse at my daily post care appts were surprised . Red light works. But often the main problem at home is: people are not consistent with use , and expectations are unrealistic as they really don’t understand what is possible and what is not.
did you find it different to omnilux?
I have Omnilux and use it almost every night and I immediately notice that my skin is a lot more even and softer in the morning compared to when I don’t use it the night before.
Do we have to use it with closed covered eyes?
The Lumara panel is more powerful and does in 5 min what takes Celluma 45 min.
I love Volufiline. I use it after a series of heat treatments such as rf, laser or red light. It holds it's volume for me until I do another heat series. Then I just do it again. However, it can also be used in conjunction with a warm device. Such as right after a red light treatment. The warmth actually makes it work better. I've been using it for years after these treatments. I use it until I get the desired results and then I'm good to go. I also don't use red light every single day. I do a series and then let my skin rest. I'm 52 and never had fillers. Another product I've used that I absolutely swear by for similar results is Caviplla. These have been a huge save for me after any treatments that might shrink my fat cells.
Interesting, just watched that video yesterday and now I‘m excited to see your reaction to it! I feel like this was the first video where Bryan Johnson actually looks really healthy and it feels like what he is spending all that money on is finally working to change his appearance.
thanks for watching
I definitely think that increasing his caloric intake helped with adding volume and youthfulness to his face. Also the new hair cut works better.
@@mkryuand the fat injection.
It's from a slightly better hairstyle lol
@@mediokritet and he stopped dying his hair henna red😅
Mid to late 40’s definitely, I’m 76 and women always carried an umbrella when walking in the sun for protection back when I was a kid .
Parasol
Same here.
Man I wish we could normalize this. It also feels so much cooler and more comfortable. Do you use a particular brand with Spf?
Your lighting's beautiful, Dr. D !! ✨
I always find myself hard to relate to people who take medication that’s supposed to be used for certain diseases or symptoms, for beauty purposes
Dr Dray I’d love for you to do a video on having a “snatched neck/jawline” bc yours is magnifique!
Yes!
This is the first I’ve heard of him, I do find what he’s attempting to do pretty interesting!
Same, but when they showed what he looked like a few years ago, I finally recognized him and he does look significantly younger from then. But I still have no idea who he is. I recognize his face, but that's it.
Blueprint is so interesting! And I love Bryan’s attitude. He’s sharing everything he does, all the data and he doesn’t expect or think that people should do everything he’s doing. He’s treating his body as a science experiment and he’s said that he’s trying to invite competition. He wants people to disprove him and to start a conversation/development in this field. He’s very intelligent and addresses every aspect of his life to promote longevity. Would recommend all his videos to everyone if you want to change your approach to health 🙂
He looks weird and unnatural. Plenty of men his age look younger without this ridiculous regiment.
Money
The glazing 😂
Jennifer Myers is achieving what he's trying to do through simple persistent habits. She's fascinating and shares super easy to follow advice which she's followed for 20+ years.
Yess!!! jennifer is a proof of what a good science - backed skincare routine, exercise and a healthy diet can do :)
I love Jennifer’s channel! Her videos inspired me to take care of my skin. 🧡
But Bryan hasn't been doing this or any healthy routine for himself in the last 20 years he done the opposite and he is trying to reverse damage. Totally different thing
Oh I love her videos! She deserves way more clout but I love that she's so mysterious
Yes, I love watching her!
So interesting. I just love you Dr. Dray, you have such a wonderful, logical, realistic viewpoint on everything. I also invested on UVA blocking film for my windows AND tinted windows in my car for myself, hubby, and
our kids!
I like that he’s trying these things. I don’t have the resources, motivation, or patience to conduct a protocol like this one -it is steady, controlled, and takes a lot of commitment and effort- so I am very happy that this information is made available on the web.
I like his routine, simple and effective! love it that everyone is on the sunscreen and protect journey
I love that he’s trying and sharing info .
This is why I love your channel
Dr.D, your skin is always beautiful anyway, but at the moment your skin is looking absolutely stunning!! ❤️🌈💯🌗🙌 x
You are the best Dr. Dray. I really appreciate your expertise and always recommend you to my friends. Bless you.
Been listening for years and I must say you are looking very beautiful Dray. Whatever it is, keep it up.
If he softened his hair color, and lightened it up to a strawberry blond (since he's obviously a redhead) it would instantly make him look more youthful.
Personally I think guys with salt and pepper, or silvery white hair looks amazing. It's the severity in contrast between skin tone, and the black or dark opaque hair dye that visually tends to age someone, or makes them look uncanny somehow.
It feels or seems like he has a very real fear of dying one day. Hence his obsession with trying to "live forever."
It's that psychological aspect of the natural process of death and rebirth that I believe he would see the most amazing benefits from, if he stops worrying about something that has to happen many years in the future. Because the cumulative affects of cortisol and other stressors that the body can be flooded with when in a constant state of fear or high alert is like setting his system on FF.
well he looks great. all this effort to live longer and look younger puts lot of anxiety though imo.. but thumbs up for this guy. definitely his face looks better compared to the past footage
I don't know who this person is, and this is the first time I've seen him, but he looks good playing the character of Vampire 🧛
Huhuhu thank you so much, Dr. Dray for your videos - for reading the researches and telling them in a way that makes sense for us!!
Happy Thursday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️
Morning!
@@DrDrayzday ❤
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Thursday Whitney😀👍
I admit i was super sceptical. BUT. I appreciate that he doesn't hype his treatments and seems like scientific and careful with them.
I probably won't be trying majority of those things, mostly because i don't have his resources, but i appreciate his contribution to science. Good luck to him.
Although I fully support his project I don't think he looks more like an 18 year old compared to a few years ago. He still looks the same to me. There's only so much you can do to REVERT aging. Prevention is key in my opinion!
Takes time. But within, his organs have recovered and regenerated (at some point) for sure.
That’s because he lost facial fat. That’s the key to youthful face shape.
Yes, he’s mentioned in an interview that he has done major damage in his youth that he is motivated sure can ever be reversed. He’s essentially using himself as a guinea pig for science.
18 year no waaaay, my brother is 18 and it’s not even close.
Nah if you look at his vids from a year ago he looks ALOT younger. Obviously looking like an 18 year old at 46 is next to impossible
Interesting what people will do.. as a double lung transplant patient 6/17/2015.. I do not recommend ANYONE take medications that are for immunosuppression that ARE for a transplant patient.. These are harsh on the body and you never know what these are doing to you.. SMH!!
Bless you and gkad youvare doing werll!
I understand he’s doing everything to stay young. his high maintenance routine however, is not realistic and doable for regular folks. He seems like he’s colored his hair dark to look younger too. (His pictures when he was little and a young man show he was blonde) good for him for going the distance to look young. He has the means and the resources to do so.
Yh,he dylyes his hair & eyebrows. The colors are awful for his skin tone 😅😅😅
He also gets fillers and botox
Thank you for the data-focused approach. So appreciate that and you!!
He’s doing so many things at once, how will he know which, if any, are helping??
i wish i discovered you a decade ago - you are awesome and super knowledgeable and great at communicating
From first impression my jaw dropped 😂😮. The skincare graveyard 😅😂 just the basics😂. If it doesn't fit the protocol man talking about seriousness . if it doesn't it's out 😂❤. I liked the basic routine cleanse-moisturize-sunscreen and tailored accordingly to the budget of every individual differently. Now the house clinic of his too far stretched from my pov and its cost 😅 frightening. Oh the protective film on the Windows i really liked that a lot. Although I'm not sure how much of the uva is blocked ?😅. At the end everything comes to boil to the basics and everything else is far and beyond our reach. I really enjoyed it thanks Doctor Andrea for reacting to it 😊❤ have a great day.
Over 90% blocked; maybe 99%, can't remember. He said it in a video or short
I like the umbrella idea, as I’ve an autoimmune disease, and my medication makes me more susceptible to skin cancer.
It seems to me he's following his passion which is nearly always incredibly enjoyable.
My body doesn’t like red light therapy. I tried 3 times and I had heat allergy, and I never had any allergy or reaction before in my life. I’m Brazilian so I’m used to heat and sunbathing, and I’m also used to sauna - and it’s always been fine, but not red light therapy
Id love it if u made more videos about him!!
Happy Thursday! Love this kind of topic! Thank you for sharing with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I actually kind of appreciate what he's doing because he's offering himself up, at an extreme, to the benefit of human knowledge. They're running some very intense tests on him and have actually been learning a lot more than they would have by normal test standards on large groups. It's absurd, but hey...some of us are put on this Earth for a mission. This must be his.
Yeah I don't particularly like him but he has the means to contribute a lot to science this way.
I have some rosacea, am over 60, so I also have fine lines and sagging skin issues from aging. I have been using the Omnilux Contour red light mask for about a month, every other day, and I have seen some improvement overall. I plan to continue the every other day 10 min treatment on my face for 4 months to see how much improvement I get.
Never heard of this guy. Pretty intense skin care routine but to each their own. Do whatever works for you and makes you happy. I appreciate your thoughts on this, Dr Dray. Happy Thursday! Hope you have a tranquil evening. 💜
🙏💕🐈🐈🫖☕️☕️💕🙏
He is somewhat famous, he is one of leading anti-aging experimenters, he is worth over $500 million dollars and his stated goal is to live forever
Hope your doing well Mary! Have a nice evening and God Bless! 🙏🙏🙏🤠 Anti aging doesn’t exist because you’d have to stop TIME! 😂
You’re so lucky you haven’t heard of this guy lol /genuinely
@@banzaileah Why?
Thank you for your videos, Dr. Dray!
Glad he has some good advise, but most don’t have the time & $ to spend on his routine. Hope he makes time for family , friends and enjoys all the beauty of nature, which does a lot for one’s over all well being. It would go along way in staying young at heart! ❤
I do like the information that Bryan is sharing and I've adoped some of these cheap and less invasive methods (Cetaphil, power to the People cleanser, red light therapy), while being conservative of others. I don't take oral tretinoin, but use the topical and have for years and at 54, my facial and neck skin is as healthy as I can make it and I am told I coukd pass for my 30's. I am using Adapeau, but not sure if I will continue. Thank you for your channel Dr. Dray, I listen to you regularly and am a subscriber.
It's crazy how rich people can get doctors to prescribe anything. Before online dermatology providers like Curology or Musely, lots of people had a hard time getting doctors to even prescribe tretinoin for cosmetic reasons, and he's taking all these different drugs for no real reason.
Crazy 😅
I still cant get tretinoin prescribed in my country (my country is still stuck in stone age in a lot of things). Tretinoin here is prescribed only for severe acne but Im not getting prescription for it if I want it for antiaging.
@@Marko-ij4vy You're French? Right?
@@Marko-ij4vy Canadian?
What "all these different drugs"? He's taking 2, not 20
The other consideration with the meds that he’s on is - the interaction between everything that he is ingesting… meaning, in studies they usually only study one particular drug - not all of them “mixed” together. That would concern me. Just thoughts..
Aging is so depressing. Please do a video on how to cope with aging.
Agree!
Therapy helps if you have depression.
Accept it. Your depression will end the moment you do.
Think of the alternative to ageing! Ageing is a privilege denied to many .
Lighten up. It helps in every aspect of aging & life. You're not gonna get out alive, so just lighten up.
Can you do a video on his supplements as well?
I honestly believe it all comes down to our genes. I use all the trendy creams/Spf/LED mask/IPL (you name it)and I don't see myself aging ANY better than people my age. While my mother-in-law, soon 77, she's never used any sun protection (we live in Spain) she swears by this one cream she's been using for 15 years (believe me: nothing special) and she looks AMAZING! Her son, my partner, is exactly Bryan's age and he really looks thirtish...needless to say he doesn't do ANYTHING, I sometimes force him to wear a suncream when it's hot. So...if you have good genes, you don't even have to do that much. The rest of us...we can only try to age as gracefully as we can. That's why I am very sceptical about all these influencers who swear by their routines: they may just have great genes. ❤
You're absolutely right. On my mom's side of the family the women all look 20 years younger than their actual age; my mom, aunts, nan, etc. My dad's side, they age "normally". I have 2 sisters, elder and younger, and we are all in our early 40s. They both take on my dad's side and look their age. (Fortunately 😅) I take on my mom's side and I'm told all the time I look like I'm mid 20s. Genes definitely play a big factor in all of this. It's either that or you're getting some procedures or treatments done.
@@mizbarehana5498 Lucky you!
This is precisely The Truth nobody wants people know.
Do you have proof is all about genes? If yes share the data.
Your mother-in-law doesn't stress about aging as much. All these trendy followings keep you in the fear of aging. Stress and fear will make you look old no matter the trendy potions you put on your face or in your body. Happiness and living in the moment will keep you young.
My biggest issue with sunscreen is that it leaves my face looking oily. Is there a product that doesn’t do that?
I’m past anti aging. I need reversal! Any pointers?
I follow Bryan and I like what he is trying to accomplish. Thank you for reviewing his video and making informed comments!
This guy spends so much time and effort to extend his life, that he is missing out on LIVING his life
I full heartedly believe he’s enjoying his life right now more than he ever has
Completely agree with original comment.
Also love how people keep on pushing the "research" narrative. That's not how scientific knowledge is made. This "study" has 0 validity.
That's the sad part....he's probably lived the life already😂😂😂
@@missioncodezas an actual scientist i can tell you this is not even close to being "research". he is a random singular person paying people to entertain him with generating numbers. if he actually cared, he could spend all this money on donating to real research on a larger scale that actually has promise and would help treat diseases etc.
He runs multiple companies, has written books, flies planes, and has kids. What the fuck do you do? Why are you so quick to judge others?
My mom turns 79 in February. She looks 60. I am 55. I routinely get told I look 40. All I’ve ever done is moisturize.
It’s genetics. You can do all the things, but if your genetics don’t line up, it will make little difference.
Good morning Dr Dray ❤
Morning!
Ive spent Thousands on Isomers Estee Lauder. Im 62. I look 52. Im a fanatic about my skin.
I am still waiting for this guy to reverse his age as he has said many times. So far he looks like what he is: an in shape 40 something yo man
Seems like he's pretty much always going to look the same age. All his results are going to be invisible things like telomeres and DNA methylation genetic age tests and things like that. Which, idk if I really trust the accuracy and reliability of those things or not. Maybe what he's doing only makes it seem like he's younger according to those testing parameters but in reality it doesn't do much. Idk
@@Will-xf3qe he looks like a pale vampire

Peace, joy and many blessings to you always. 💙🙏💙🕊💙🐈☕🐈☕💙⛄
Your makeup looks good, no shiny skin from sunscreen.
If nothing else then at least I hope he will convince people to wear sunscreen. I tend to think that people are reasonable on this subject and then I meet someone out of my circle and it turns out that they think sunscreen is poison 😭
Thank you for everything you do for the people and helping everyone out we all appreciate you 🛐❤🙇🏾 you post wonderful things
Thank you for humanizing this man. I've seen his interviews in passing and have been pretty judgmental. He's actually a role model for us all in many ways with some pretty decent and free advice for those of us who don't own a clinic ourselves. Also, the fact that he made a joke about a vampire proves that he isn't a robot after all. Shame on me. He seems like a very intelligent, man dedicating his body to science prior to his death unlike those of us who wait until we no longer need our bodies prior to offering it up to the local medical school.
Yeah stop being so judgmental of ppl actually doing good for themselves lol. Never understood that vindictive mentality.
I think these two would make a terrific pair. My second comment about this 😎😅
Maybe unpopular opinion, but I’m not mad at what he’s doing. He has money to actually measure what his routines may yield, something is average folk don’t have access to, but do in our way. We use products, assess its efficacy, keep or move on. The IPL was the only thing I was meh on.
THANK YOU for explaining all of these things I watched it and was like - some of these things I have no idea about and I wonder if these treatments are worth trying.
Brian Johnson is cool!
Very interesting and informative ! I really appreciate your insight and advice as always.
It’s actually wild what sun damage does. I feel like if you take a regular person from South Sudan at 46 and they might even look younger.
No sun in South Sudan?
Thinking of you and Andrew Huberman doing a podcast would be just terrific.
