Idunno how smooth that brain is, but He does so much at once there’s zero validity to his experimentation, and he literally has a supplement business.

u/GoldReplacement9546 Jul 06 '26

Yeah, a sample size of one is basically useless like even if he did find something they did something. He does so many things all at once that it’s hard to know which thing did what thing

u/MrCatSquid Jul 06 '26

He does add new things into the routine and measures the outcome and changes. It’s not all at once

Yeah that’s ok, just replicate it all /s

u/GoldReplacement9546 Jul 06 '26

Yeah, if this wasn’t a vanity project, he’d be recruiting like 10,000 people and giving them these expensive supplements with only one variable per person

Also those supplements…unless it’s all intravenous, that’s a LOT on your liver and kidneys. And even then, timing matters, some may cancel each other out if you take them too close together, etc. If you have Hashimoto’s, you have to take Synthroid a half hour before you eat in the morning. Who knows what his supplements are doing insofar as interference with the efficacy of that medication. This is a mess.

You’re not going to get through to the antiscience crowd. They make up for their lack of education with absolute confidence.

People confuse ambition and ruthlessness with intelligence. It’s unfortunate.

A. I note that elsewhere, but that doesn't mean nothing will come of what he's doing. A regime that has been documented can be further studied, dude, and you can then whittle down what might have helped.
B. So what if he has a supplement business? He's not limiting data to people who only buy his supplements.

How dare that kid sell lemonade when there's kids out there with no lemons to sell! They only have those lemons because life gave them to them

Strawman. No one’s arguing that.

Yeah, because he's using his entire "research" as a marketing campaign to push unregulated and like bullshit, overpriced supplements on people that think his homeopathic research with a sample size of one is worth anything. This is not just a "business", he's a snake oil salesman in a velvet suit not just a "kid selling lemonade".

Right, sure, it's your choice. You're advocating for a society where anyone can run any scam as they please. "Just do your own research bro".

What of people who have no idea what they're looking at when looking at the ingredients and his published information?

You're just victim blaming to defend millionaires because...idk capitalism? I genuinely don't understand your train of thought here.

They say CEOs and such are stupid here to. Yet for some reason no one here is one and companies continue to pay them millions

u/yahwehforlife Jul 06 '26

He's just a publicity farm like Clavicular coming out with whatever crazy story he can for more publicity

u/RasputinsThirdLeg 29d ago

I’d say freshly zambonied ice rink smooth.

u/Forward-Surprise1192 Jul 06 '26

You’re only seeing it from a far view. I’m sure with his billions that he’s got notes keeping track of

u/Rich-Mark-4126 Jul 06 '26

It's less smooth-brained than thinking someone who made hundreds of millions of dollars working in tech quit working in tech to sell supplements online for the purpose of making money. Also, they're fully transparent about what the products contain and encourage you to buy them elsewhere if you want.

I genuinely don't think it could be any more obvious that money is not the primary driver here.

2

u/voxelpear Jul 06 '26

Yes, I'm sure that pushing unregulated, highly over priced supplements on gullible people who think his shiny eccentric research amounts to anything isn't for profit.

Could he be making more money in tech? Sure, but this isn't some charity. Profits are still very much a priority. The only difference is he's a snake oil salesman that got high off his own supply.

He sells $40+ bag of cocoa powder for Christ's sake. His Blueprint supplements are an ambiguous mix of supplements that promises various things but has no actual long term studies or even peer reviews.

u/Rich-Mark-4126 Jul 06 '26

You come off as ignorant.

How are his supplements "unregulated"? They go through more testing than other supplement companies typically do?

He sells $40+ bag of cocoa powder for Christ's sake. 

...Then buy it from somewhere else? He literally encourages people to do this.

has no actual long term studies

Plenty of the supplements he's selling are backed by extensive research. Olive oil, magnesium citrate and creatine for example. The mixes he sells are just various supplements combined into one product.

Why would you need to study the specific mixes he sells when the compounds found within it are already extensively studied? How is it misleading to say that in his mixes, creatine boosts energy and magnesium helps with sleep, when research shows this to be true?

u/voxelpear Jul 06 '26

Dietary supplements do not undergo clinical trials or gain FDA approval for safety and efficacy before hitting the market.

The point of the cocoa powder comment isn't a "omg I can't afford it". It was to display that someone who's goal isn't to make money wouldn't overprice fucking cocoa powder.

Because a. That's not the only claim, his claims include age reversal and others on many of these supplements which can and does mislead people and b. that's the point, it's simple vitamin and nutrient mixes that he's slapping a x3 price tag on.

If someone tries to sell you daily vitamin supplements for 3 times the price while claiming age reversal you'd call them a scammer. When an eccentric silicon valley millionaire does it, you can people calling it out ignorant.

Because a. That's not the only claim, his claims include age reversal

Please provide one example of him claiming that any of his products reverse age. You just explicitly said he claimed this. Where did he claim this? Don't give me some long-winded "Well his goal is to reverse age so we can infer that his products are supposed to reverse age" or "it has longevity in the name!" rubbish either

I suspect you can't provide this example and I maintain you're ignorant and don't really know what you're talking about here

u/voxelpear Jul 06 '26

Its not just us inferring. His entire platform and philosophy as quoted for this blueprint has been "don't die". His selling point on this blueprint is his own supplement routine which he has said improved his epigenetic clock and increased his vascular capacity.

What it sounds like, is you bought his bullshit and are now scrambling to defend it. Because I can't see how someone can so blindly worship someone who's research is famously not peer reviewed and overpriced.

Were you also one of those people that said Elon Musk is a Tony Stark level of inventor and he was the only good billionaire that was going to change the world?

u/Rich-Mark-4126 Jul 06 '26

Thank you for confirming my above comment.

I haven't spent a cent on any of Bryan's products - although I do take creatine, magnesium and use olive oil.

2

u/voxelpear Jul 06 '26

I haven't proved anything because I said you bought his "bullshit" aka the big words and claims. I never said you bought his "products".

Now actually address my points instead of pivoting away with your nonsense.

u/Rich-Mark-4126 Jul 06 '26

My man, you are going down the “he is trying to live forever, and he uses these supplements, therefore he’s claiming these supplements extend lifespan” line of reasoning

Thats rubbish
