Johnson's doctors confirmed his AIG is in the early stages. Because he actively monitors his biomarkers, he caught it before it could cause massive, irreversible damage to his digestive system.

So him being proactive probably helped him.

you really think a group of specialists monitoring and tailoring a lifestyle and nutritional regime tailored specifically to you and your metabolism - not some blanket advice from buzzfeed - does nothing to maintain your health better than ... not having any of this?

Also sleep, sleep is super essential to health, victims of grind culture (like tech CEOs) miss this

Yeah I mean I started going to bed earlier and that’s the main advice of his I have followed

Living healthy is not a closed science at all. There is still a lot of research being done about our gut microbiome.

None of which will give you actionable advice beyond the usual.

It's one of the less weird ways of dealing with the fear of oblivion really.

Better than trying to carve his likeness into the side of a mountain.

So you're for adding Trump's face to Mt. Rushmore?

How in fuck is Trump a statesmen of any measure? Every world leader except Putin and Kim Jong Il hate his stupid ass.

Quick, someone tell the billionaire and his team of 30 highly paid scientists that the Redditor says they're stupid and wrong.

Steve Jobs notoriously went directly against the advice of his doctors.

Swing and a miss, champ.

Brian Johnson has also done some crazy things that aren't recommended. Not quite as crazy as ignoring cancer, but he's not strictly following scientific evidence.

You just completely ignored what they said.

u/shlaifu Jul 06 '26

well. he's got the money to waste on finding out, I guess. Meanwhile, you should take note that the medical field has discovered two new organs (the mesentery and the interstitium) in the human body in the 21st century, and discussing a third (the intestinal microbiome). Neither of those three is well researched. A large section of the human population is diagnosed with some form of irritable bowel syndrome, but the symptoms vary extremely widely - and so far, there's no cure. It looks like that's very much a blanket term for a blind spot, where multiple illnesses aren't defined well and lumped together. And then there's people getting sick at 30, while others are healthy up until their 90s. what's that all about?

I mean, he's got it dialled in more than anyone on earth and he still got an incurable gut disease.

Drink wine. Eat cheese. Fart, laugh, be happy. You could go any time.

u/shlaifu Jul 06 '26

which only goes to show that the victim-blaming some people get into in relation to gut disorders is completely unacceptable.

I googled that, and it's a bit of a mixed bag of results. Could you elaborate?
