Hey! Author here! It's been 3 years since I wrote this article. I realized pretty soon I don't need as much resources. I think I'm at 17 bucks per month currently, and I have several more projects running.
My angle was more about the ambiguity of the status/using the phrase, but I can see how it may appear insensitive to others. It definitely wasn't my intention.
I just started following Bryan's journey two weeks ago.
I didn't get the same impression as you. I always thought it's implied he's talking about what's good for him, not all people. He then uses that as a framework for something others could pickup and incorporate in their lives.
I like the iterative nature of his work - he always tries to improve the recipes and supplements he takes.
I always see a lot of negative comments about the guy here on HN, and he's basically hacking his own body and publishes everything for free[0].
