From the author:

Some of the strategies I employ include:

I put a prime on sleep, diet, and exercise. I optimize my hormones. I downregulate the mTOR pathway. I take pharmaceutical drugs aimed at improving metabolic health. I employ several behavioral, hormonal, and pharmaceutical strategies to delay cancer, atherosclerosis, and neurodegeneration. I cleared my body of (some) senescent cells with senolytic drugs. I monitor dozens of health markers. I take a handful of supplements. I put a prime on my mental health.

This sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.

The critique was not his use of pharmaceuticals. The author even mentioned he adopted a supplement straight out of Bryan's regimen.

Yes, but to the normal person, they both seem wildly obsessive. My acute observation is simply that anyone who has that much time and energy to think about and experiment with "biohacking" is clearly lacking in some other areas of life. In particular the author here mentions that his number one intervention / beneficial "hack" has been increasing human connection.

But it seems painfully obvious that with such a large amount of focus poured into one area, not to mention being in medical school, they are clearly not maximizing in that area. Most people are simply much too busy with actual human stuff to go so deep into this area. The other side of that being that when you are that busy you don't feel the need to delve so deep into an area because you are meeting those targets organically.
