If dude lives to be 150, that absolutely advances science!
No, we won’t know which of his wacky hijinks did it, but we will learn that it is possible and that some combination of the stuff he did actually works.
The science would then be mechanical: try different combinations of his experiments, and see what makes people’s lives longer.
He’s got an experiment population of exactly one. The only way for his one lifespan to be relevant to science is if it is a historic outlier.
