He's 65+ and believes in informed consent. No contradiction there.

He's certainly healthy, fit and not exactly old at 54. Do you honestly see no inconsistency in his own behaviour radically differs from his advice?

On top of that, the patient himself is 40 years old.

> add another 10 years to my career" -- he was probably in his early 60's already

I have absolutely no problem - even prefer - having a surgeon with 40+ yrs experience operating on me via a robot device that removes any tremors from old age. Their experience is what matters.

He's old (early 40'). Taboo subject in the sector.

goshx | karma 2036 | avg karma 2.71 · | 2020-02-03 14:58:09+00:00

In his experience with anything health related. He’s 100 years old.

svdr | karma 454 | avg karma 5.22 · | 2021-12-04 08:43:17

Yes, and he says: "I'm very young, I'm only 72, so we'll see." :-)

NikkiA | karma 1999 | avg karma 1.21 · | 2024-06-07 11:44:38

He's 71, he's not middle aged, but yes, he should know better at his age.

didntreadarticl | karma 330 | avg karma 2.66 · | 2023-03-09 18:11:32

He's 94, lets just be impressed he can have an opinion at all

nullsense | karma 1429 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2021-03-20 11:34:06

Face it he's an almost 60 year old man.

gipp | karma 2596 | avg karma 5.01 · | 2014-08-25 14:23:14+00:00

He's 61. It pretty much is.

bradley13 | karma 2353 | avg karma 4.65 · | 2024-02-28 13:38:14

I've read about him before. He follows a pretty extreme "health" regime. He's pretty obsessed about living longer - but he isn't actually taking any time to live.

While his regime obviously brings some benefits, it doesn't stop aging. Looking at him, it's pretty obvious that it doesn't. He is healthy for his age.

He's just old.

I am glad this dude is like 20 years older than me, it gives me a safe buffer to decide if I should hop on his train or not. If he still seems healthy in his 70s it will be very interesting.

Ididntdothis | karma 8212 | avg karma 3.46 · | 2020-02-26 01:20:34+00:00

If he is at least 75 years old he fits in perfectly.

Age doesn't change facts.

benatkin | karma 7495 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2023-11-09 20:01:57

Not ironic, maybe inappropriate, especially if his health is rapidly declining.

Since I believe, and really want to believe, he's got a lot of good years ahead of him, I'm glad to see people speaking freely.

It's not for us to decide. If he feels younger then he should have the right to identify as younger. Scientifically there are certain biochemical changes that happen in the brain as we age and there is strong scientific evidence that some people maintain young brain chemistry even into old age. Just because he was born 70 years ago doesn't mean he's a 70 year old.

bryanlarsen | karma 33883 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2016-10-05 10:15:31+00:00

He was 46 when he had his baseline, clean test, so probably 5-10 years older.

mcpackieh | karma 4231 | avg karma 2.34 · | 2023-09-02 12:23:49

At 77 years old, he's long past his mental prime and could easily have made a mistake despite his experience.
