The most measured men in human history

Bryan Johnson


Upon waking 1

A tech millionaire and biohacker, Bryan Johnson, whose ultimate goal is not to die, takes up to 100 pills of supplements and prescription medications daily










He takes melatonin because when intermittent fasting (and probably calorie reduction as well), the body creates more adrenaline to counteract the restriction of energy. I don’t do longer fasts, nor does Bryan Johnson, but I’ve heard from just about every person whose done multiple day fasts that they need less sleep when fasting. And since Johnson is fasting 10 hours before bed, and because he is doing a healthy amount of calorie restriction that doesn’t cause fatigue for him, he needs to be more intentional with his sleep routine to make sure he gets enough. Melatonin is one of the tools he uses to ensure that.

Measurements

Bryan mentioned he was loosing attachment of teeth, he didn't know if his teeth were good. And even he was visiting dentists on a regular basis, he mentions there are some metrics to consider as extra measurements for your oral health. He mentioned them on his video

Before doing any oral care protocol, Bryan recommends to visit doctor. In his blog he mentions, he controls four measurements:

  • Pocket Depth – depth from the beginning of the gum to the bottom of the pocket. 1-3mm is great, more than 4mm is bad
  • Attachment Loss
  • Plaque Index
  • Gum Bleeding – how easy your gum is easy to bleed

It’s wise to visit the dentist every 6 months or so, to get a teeth cleaning, remove the stains, and get an assessment on how we doing we oral health

A note: He has stopped rinsing with tea tree oil because the data showed it wasn’t necessary for his oral health. It may work for you, however.

There was a debate on Reddit, where people complain Bryan states that he uses Dr. Tung's dental floss because in the studies they evaluated it showed a 25% increase in the amount of plaque it picks up. References include small studies with no statistical analysis. However, other users followed-up: The statement was in regards to thick vs thin floss which does not exclusively apply to Dr. Tung's expanding floss

Reddit Debate

Bryan recommends 3 things for the lifestyle to maintain good dental condition:

  • Avoid Sugar
  • Some teeth may be sensitive to Acidic liquids
  • Avoid Dry Mouth Condition
