"I did it — it might have been calorie counting or it might have been some of these apps where you can scan the food by using the barcode and it tells you what's inside there. And through that it only took me a week or two to discover that the things I ate frequently weren't what I thought, both in quantity but also in nutritional profile. I think it's just super important for as many people as possible to spend at least a week doing that."

What Steven warns against
Things Steven says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.
"My Claude, when I speak to it sometimes late at night, it will say things to me like, 'That's enough, Steven. Go to bed.' And it's actually getting quite judgmental. It refused to change data for me. Last night it started to kind of be my mother and impose on me what it thinks is right and wrong."
"There's methylene blue where people take it and they think it's going to make them live forever. Don't take this. It literally will stain your nails blue and your hair blue."
"Epitalon is maybe maybe not going to be the fountain of youth, but I'm very skeptical as far as that goes."
