Liver Doc calls Bryan Johnson 'fraud' for peddling in 'dangerous' supplements. Billionaire responds

Kerala-based liver specialist and social media influencer Dr Cyriac Abby Philips aka ‘The Liver Doc’ has recently called out billionaire entrepreneur obsessed with longevity, Bryan Johnson, as a fraud. The doctor also equated Johnson with fraudsters Elizabeth Holmes and Belle Gibson, who fooled people for years.

"It is terrifying that people do not see Bryan Johnson as actually a well-evolved masculine form of fraudsters Elizabeth Holmes and Belle Gibson, selling both expensive and utterly useless investigations and peddling potentially dangerous snake oil supplements in the name of BLUEPRINT," Dr Philips said. "The only difference: Elizabeth Holmes defrauded and took rich investors' money, but this gentleman is swindling poorly informed health and science illiterates. While Belle Gibson told people she was dying, this gentleman is telling people he won't die and created a cult around not dying. She was lying, and he is too."

The Liver Doc has almost three lakh followers on X, and as his post went viral, Johnson responded to the allegations and said that the supplements his company, Blueprint, makes have "independent and robust scientific evidence" of their effectiveness and are "affordably priced".

"Cyriac why are you so angry? Who hurt you?" Johnson wrote. "Blueprint offers extra virgin olive oil, proteins, nuts, and nutrients which have independent and robust scientific evidence. They are third party tested. The certificates of analysis are publicly available. They are affordably priced."

Later, Dr Philips shared on X the exchange between him and Johnson over DM where he asked the billionaire questions on Blueprint supplements' doses and efficacy based on clinical trials and scientific evidence.
