Over the past year I have undergone treatment for Cancer and through this journey I've learned to really appreciate 'right now' because no matter how much money you have Tomorrow is not promised.
God bless you
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Exactly. I’m a kidney transplant recipient. This guy needs to understand that he’s going to die one day and make peace with that.
I'm gonna get really high because tomorrow isn't promised
Can I have your money when it’s time for you?
This guy is so into himself. I bet his right hand is 18 years old.
Underrated comment😂😂😂
That's funny!
easy to pick on something like that but I'm glad he exists. it takes someone who is willing to be that OCD to test a lot of modern science and find out what works and how far we can take it.
I think you mean they/them. Did you notice the nail polish and lil pony tail?
@@leok7193 it’s not good science. He’s a sample size of one, and he’s doing so many things at the same time, there’s no way to tell what treatment is having what effect (positive or negative). Just look at one single aspect, the pills… he’s taking 52 a day. Who knows what’s doing what and how they interact with each other or anything else he takes, does, eats, or drinks?
Don’t get it twisted. It’s a regimen, not research. He’s not doing this for science. He’s doing it for his own benefit.
He looks older than 45! I don't think it's working... LOL
maybe because he didn't start doing all this until like a few years ago. To look younger, you have to eat right when your still in teens truly! And, yes, there are 50-year-olds who look younger than him in truth
if you're using appearance as a gauge of someone's age, you already missed the point. his basis of age is HEALTH, not appearance
he actually look young as a white man, i’ve seen a lot of white people on their 30s but look like 50
He's spending so much time looking to be younger he's missing living now.
@@leok7193 spending millions for “health” is definitely as L when all you need to do is eat healthy and workout weekly and remove stress factors in your life
He’s definitely trying to reserve signs of external aging symptoms (wrinkles etc)
Who are you kidding
Only a millionaire would care to live forever. I’m 31 and I’m already looking forward to being done. Life is pretty miserable for us 99%ers.
Don't give up. Life is a gift. Try to find something for which to feel grateful. It's hard sometimes. But any day above ground is a good day.
35 and same.
@MrGriff305 No, you're pathetic for seeing a problem and instead of offering help or advice or saying nothing at all, you decide to insult the person who is in need. Not everbody can naturally enjoy life, and while everyone can be happy and find something to live for even in the worst circumstances, that can't always be done alone or easily. Stop pretending other people's problems don't exist just because you don't have to experience them yourself.
35 and believe time is going by way too fast. Would love to slow time down a bit
Life is awesome. I'm sorry you are going through that, but Jesus loves you and God designed you and loves you. He wants you to know Him
As much as I think its impossible, it would be cool to see this man fight the laws of nature
Someone has to do it
Its not impossible at all,just very hard due to the complex nature of the human body.
Its gonna happen
There is a cure already just needs to undergo tests on animals before trying it for humans
It would be easier for him if he was Black or Asian 😂
Cant fight nature.
Meanwhile... sittin' over here drinking Mountain Dew, smoking a doobie, and playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. #aginggracefully
😂 ❤ wish I could like your comment more than a 1000 times
I work in medical research and honestly the simplest way to slow down aging is by daily exercise, eating a healthy diet (mainly fish and vegetables), and maintaining good social relationships. This has shown long lives for centenarians in the Greek islands and in Okinawa, Japan. No need to spend millions like this guy.
um no you can't slow down ageing. your cells constantly die and reborn that's why it happens. there's no way to keep a cell from dying
@@sim.ulationkoyo false. aging is gradual degradation of cells' ability to replace themselves with identical cells, kind of like making copies of copies makes each one worse quality. the problem isn't cells dying, it's making a "copier" so good and supplying it with best ingredients to make each new copy as identical to original as possible.
@@leok7193 false. all cells are constantly replaced, its how many times they can undergo it without degrading their dna. You shed millions of dead skin cells every day. Seems like you know nothing.
@@leok7193 the hayflick limit is why
But this isn't aging backwards
He looks good for his age, but he still looks his age. Honestly, we need to learn to appreciate all stages of life and focus on staying healthy, happy and living lives with purpose.
I bet he'd feel a lot better if instead of spending all that money on this quest for youth he used it to actually help others. But, hopefully, actual health benefits can be gained from the research.
I agree he does look his age. To me he looks just "OK".
@MrGriff305 what universe do you live on where he looks 35
Aging is more than just looks
He IS trying to help others by learning how to have a longer life. The American average life span has come down.
How is he not helping? He has a team of doctors measuring and collecting data on the question 'what is actually healthy?" It's great, he's spending his personal money on scientists to use him as a lab rat.
I work in several elderly facility, and many in their 90s-100s would say, they're fulfilled at that age, and it already becomes lonely, when everyone you know has passed away..you want to rest too, by that age. I guess..To live until 70-80 is a blessing.
Conversely, if more of your family/friends lived longer/healthier so would you? 🤔
it's not about living forever its more about living your life with fit body until you decide when to go.
@@talvoskamote still the same
I could tell he was born in the 70s before they released his age 😊 but he doesn’t look bad anyway.
.
He’s spent all that money but, he looks like he’s in his 40s
if you're using appearance as a gauge of someone's age, you already missed the point. his basis of age is HEALTH, not appearance
@Leon: Or older.
@@leok7193 Yea, but he's a walking time bomb. All those pills and tests are going to take their toll; he already looks plastic and fake, 🤷♀️, but, as someone said: maybe there will be some good science come from his narcissism.
@@leok7193 He's trying to physically look younger too...
Tbh he looks younger than 40.
The older I get the shorter life seems. I've learned time passes by more quickly as you age and what used to go by in years can now go by in a months... I would love to make into my 100s, but not in a diaper staring out the window of an assisted living home with my callused over eyes trying to remember the name of that one person, you know, the one with the thing...
My war vet grandpa lived to be 102. No diapers. Still walked and did everything someone my age (32) can do. Except drive. But that was because he hardly every drove even when he was younger. And get this, he smoked a pack of cigarettes every 2 days for 57 years. Rarely drank alcohol though. 6-10 cups of coffee a day. Never ate healthy. Idk how he lived that long. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it honestly. I'm wondering if it was the coffee. When ever I see videos about people living a long time, they usually mention drinking a lot of coffee.
There's only one way to stop aging,it's called dying.Aging is part of living and no one should be afraid of it if they live a good life and enjoy everyday as much as possible, and stop looking past the present.
Aging is terrible because it brings you closer to death. Please don't speak nonsense
NO.
Aging is the breakdown of your biological systems due to chronic damage to your genetic material among other things. It isn’t just “time passing”.
@alex35agm I strongly disagree and will no longer continue this path at least not for now. It's been going on for generations, churches are closing down, datings are declining, divorces, loniness, and isolation are on the severe rise, therapy has been less and less successful. This person is putting one heck of a fight against laws of nature. Dr david sinclair has been improving a lot on longtivity recently, this might be the only solution to start a reset for society on this generation
Don’t people realize we only live once
This is why it's important to live as long as possible.
This is how comic book super villians are created.
😂
[Mr. Krabs notices a long line in front of the Bikini Bottom Cemetery. The sound of a church bell plays.]
Mr. Krabs: No! No! I ain't old like you! I ain't old! I ain't old! [runs away] LOL
I will say he does look 45, but good luck to him, I hope it works. If in a few years he legitimately looks mid-30s, then we'll know it's working.
I think it would be better to spend millions helping others living better.
At the end of the day, genetics is a huge factor. My dad is 81 and has no wrinkles. He does nothing and smoked like a chimney for years. However, he is paralyzed so dont go out in the sun much, so maybe thats the secret.
i saw a picture of this man and thought he was in his 60s before i read the story o.o
💀💀
He actually looks 68 years old...
meanwhile asians are just chilling
Midlife crisis according to wikipedia : This may produce feelings of intense depression, remorse, and high levels of anxiety; or the desire to achieve youthfulness, make drastic changes to their current lifestyle, or change past decisions and events.
DESIRE TO ACHIEVE YOUTHFUNESS
He honestly looks like he’s in his mid 60s
if you're using appearance as a gauge of someone's age, you already missed the point. his basis of age is HEALTH, not appearance
@@leok7193 hence the words “looks like”. You missed my point.
He has my praise. His experience and data can benefit us all.
Age will eventually catch up with him. He's not immuned to it. In this culture vain culture of America aging is bad but really it should be treasured.
YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BE YOUNG AGAIN SON
So how do you reduce the aging of the brain?
A mind is a terrible thing to waste,so use it sparingly.If that's the case,then Trump's MAGA Followers might be geniuses, but I doubt it.
You need to eat healthy.
I’m 44 and I look like I’m 30 secret no soda or alcohol
The secret is lots of good quality weed as it relaxes the muscles and relieves stress I start first thing in the morning and don't stop until just before bed as it promotes good sleep.
It's better to accept that rather than avoid it because death is inevitable and it'll happen to all the living being in the world
They had some lady hold some calipers up to his heel like she was actually measuring something 🤣
Lol for real
Lot of people seem to forget the important point (including this rich guy). Living longer doesn't mean anything when everyone else you know are already dead. Its why I don't think the concept of eternal life would work well if only a specific individual was able to achieve this
Deserves more views… but ty CNBC for making this.
I don't want to live past my natural time but I want to be in my best shape mentally and physically til then
You dont know how to appreciate life thats why, you are a child.
If you could fathom how incredible simple things in life are you would want to live forever.
Even going for a walk is amazing
Who would wanna live longer? I don't even wanna be the age I am now. Have you taken a look around?
the super rich clearly don't mind. this guy might live long enough to go to Mars with other billionaires and create their own "perfect" society
All that money and he still looks 45!!!
@MrGriff305 No. I'm 35 and I look 35. He looks all of 45 and then some. Just because you have smooth lookings skin. Doesn't mean you look young.
Anything over 80, I feel like I've overstayed my welcome. Earth is not meant to be lived on forever. Take a hint. 😊
who put you in charge of how long we're "meant" to live?
like earth could handle us living longer than we do .
life is short , and there’s nothing you can do about it .
He looks like 45 years old..
Feasible? 52 pills in the morning is not feasible for my life.
He supposed to use that genetic treatment Harvard talked about
Imagine being so terrified of death that you gaslight yourself into thinking it's "optional" and spending your life like this to avoid the fear. That's what I'm getting from this, even though he claims the opposite.
This is not aging backwards!!!!!
And then he got struck by lightning.💀
All that money and to me, it looks like a miserable life.
to you it does, and that's why you're not doing it, not that you have the resources. to him, it clearly gives a sense of purpose, and a life lived with purpose is a life well-lived.
If he has volunteered to make himself the guinea pig in this scientific experiment, then I admire him. At least he’s investing his ample resources to improve our human knowledge. Then I support him. More billionaires should give their excessive wealth to improve life on our planet, instead of using it for egotistical needs.
@@leok7193 no crap genius. That’s why this is my comment and not his. Pay attention.
@@cindymaceda2999 a few have tried and still died at natural ages. Vanity is all this boils down to.
@@billythekidder7182 It’s an Experiment. If he succeeds by trying the many available variables, then future generations can benefit from it. I don’t think this man feels that he has a miserable life. He probably enjoys it. . .Like scientists who work in a lab all day to find a solution to cancer. Not my idea of fun either, but I’ve “survived” breast cancer twice, btw.
Go for it, Bryan. Age is just a number and money is a tool.
And they’ll happily continue collecting his millions…these drs know the best they can achieve is making him look better than the average person at each age he reaches…so many factors play into aging, there’s no realistic means of avoiding them all…wish him the best, though 😊
This might very well be, but I'm glad he's taking one for the team so to speak and spends his considerable money on trying these things out - if they don't work, it might save millions of people from spending their funds on useless things.
Man! Now we’re counting on him!
people are too negative about this guy look at the brighter side at least he contributes for science and shares his findings , unlike other billionaires who just prefer to go to some weird island of fetish.
Your money will never help you. " It is appointed for a man once to die, and then the judgement."
I don’t think it’s possible but it’s a fascinating experiment
More money more problems more age more problems there's a reason they rhyme
You can live young and beautiful forever with God, if you truly believe.
He looks like 100 year old and a 35 year old at the same time.
Bro gets ended in a car crash a year later 💀
"As long as my money is around ; I'll be around"
He'd in great shape for his age but he's delusional.
He's just keep those people employed, so i guess that's good?
Fools and their money..
I can definitely detect my patience waning in life...
I am filled with, and consumed with, rage and grief.
I desperately want to die, I can no longer bear the darkness...
*is it too late for him to ask for a refund?* hopefully he got dat extended protection plan...
It's called a God complex and marketing his business.
What business? He’s not selling anything.
Agreed
But he looks in his 50s already
He is wasting his life doing this experiment.
When he could just enjoy the rest of his age.
So he's spending most of his time fighting for a little bit more of time. Rich people are not as smart as most people think.
I dont think you people have learned to appreciate how amazing life is,even when it sucks.
Its amazing to even be able to look at the sky,going to the park can be an exhilarating experience if you know how to live in the moment.
Yes, he has all the money and he realized that health is the only wealth
He looks like palpatine.. weird skin, obvious plastic surgery, thin, receding hair.. I don't get it
You can slow down aging but not death.
Yep a rich guy doing this
I doubt he will live long enough for that hair style to become popular
If you have money .. Why not.. I’ll do it too. 😊
I was hoping to hear about gene therapy or something more advanced than exercise and diet.
He will run out of money when scams run him over. Aging is inevitable
Then death is the only option
We would all love life if we were all billionaires too 😂
I live a terrible life but i still love life,i know how to experience everything at its fullest
I wonder if he checks on the length of his telomeres to see if they are changing.
He looks 55!!!!
And died in a horrific car accident....
What a waste of money. He should do what I do - get good sleep and stay hydrated. I get approached all the time about what “I do to look young” and literally that’s all I do. I make minimum wage and it’s not that hard ✌️
before i was thought him 70 years old, surprisingly just 45, most people is looks young in 45
Just imagine wasting this kind of time with your life!! Just live!
I didn't have to spend millions and I'm chronologically 55 but biologically 47. My body fat is around 12% shooting for 10%. Lost 76lbs in several months. Inflammation: gone. Pandemic? Took care of several sick family members, all vaccinated, but I wasn't. Carnivore, one meal a day, vitamin D3 at 11,000IU daily, NAD+, berberine, magnesium, apigenin, reseveratol, vitamin K pretty much covers it. Oh, all liposomal capsules.
Was cool to read your comment.
I went on carnivore OMAD for two months and I never felt better in my adult years.
Need to get back on it.
@@Gaaarry Thx. Day 49 for me and I hit 138lbs, started back in the gym last week and my body fat hovers at 8%. And I'm awake b4 sunrise. Amazing.
Keep it up....show the world that it can be done..
I wouldn't want to be alive 50 years longer than everyone I know, but I would love to look my best until I die. Hope he comes up with some wrinkle treatments that the rest of us can use 😅
Botox exists. It does wonders when used responsibly. Other than that if you want your skin to look good when you are older, keep your skin out of the sun as much as possible. Don't use sunscreen. Also drink 1 gallon of water a day minimum. Poor diet can contribute as well, but just less sun and water will do wonders. If you are already old, Botox in moderation + what I mentioned.
Collagen peptides
When you have a low body fat it, makes you look older. Dude is actually pretty healthy.
Remember your turmeric of course.
what he's doing is eating right and excercise , his 2 million spent a year is a just a waste,
The secret is to keep your body in distress. Hunger, pain ect. I only eat once a day. In this economy who can afford to eat three meals a day.
Rich people are going to find a cure to aging because lasting youth is the only thing they cannot buy....
Wasting all that time trying to make more time 😅
sure he is. what's the most productive thing you've done in your life again?
The bus will get him
Bro trying to become immortal
As long as telomerase is not present in somatic cell replication machinery, the hayflick limit is imminent.
He's 45 years old, going to extreme 💸💸💸 measures to look younger, and the dude still looks 45 years old. 🤔 👌🏼
still looks old af to me
No way that guy is 45.
he will get hit by a car, and will argue "my theory would have work " with people in the other life ..
Did he French braid his hair?
I wonder if he would have this same love of life if he was poor
That's a whole lot of soy.
I'll never be able to live a better life the way I want if I'm not born in the 21st century
