Why is Bryan Johnson so obsessed with with supplements?

Supplement is the easy way to make a lot of $$$.

He made his own olive oil brand marketing it as something superior to all brands, and of course it is much more expensive.

Oh Bryan. It is like if Musk sold Tesla and started a cars dealership business.

I see his extremely reductionistic approach to health, trying to quantify everything, as a hallmark of stage orange. Personally, I believe it's more robust to rely on whole foods, the ones we evolved eating. Every time you consume something different/extremely concentrated such as supplements you're putting your body "out of distribution" (thinking of nutrients as different dimensions in a statistical distribution).

That said, I see Bryan's Blueprint initiative as quite positive. He's sharing all the data, recipes, etc. He also seems to incorporate a lot of stage green/yellow in his ideas (at least for a stage orange entrepreneur). For instance, see this presentation. He addresses subjects like global warming and more systemic issues such as our collective minds.

I tried eating the diet for a week and I got really sick, for some reason that lentil dish drains all my energy.
