Brad Stanfield is a GP in New Zealand who makes YouTube videos that annoy longevity Twitter on purpose. He reads the human trials. If the mouse paper is beautiful and the human paper is a shrug, he says shrug. Rapamycin, NMN, resveratrol, high-dose this, “I took it for 30 days and my Horvath clock dropped”: he is the guy in the comments asking for all-cause mortality and a decent control arm.
His own stack is conservative by internet standards. Exercise. Blood pressure. Lipids. Sleep. Protein. Maybe a cheap, well-studied supplement if the evidence is actually there (he has been on and off things like omega-3s and a statin conversation that looks like, well, a GP). He has also changed his mind on camera, which is worth more than a guru’s forever protocol.
Watch him after you watch Sinclair. The tension is the point. One is a Harvard aging lab with a company orbit. The other is a working doctor asking whether you should spend your money on NMN or on a gym membership and a blood pressure cuff. For longevity on this site, Stanfield is the ballast.
He is still a guy with a channel. Thumbnails need an argument. Sometimes the argument is sharper than the paper. Read the abstract he is citing if the claim would change how you spend money or swallow a drug.
