Bryan Johnson Invests $2 Million Annually to Outsmart Aging

Highlights:

Bryan Johnson's way of living may appear unusual to you. He gets up at 4:30 a.m., finishes all of his meals by 11 a.m., and goes to bed at 8:30 p.m. In the meanwhile, he follows a strict routine: taking more than 100 tablets, bathing in LED light, and using an electromagnetic gadget to strengthen his pelvic muscles.

A Unique Path to Longevity

His goal? To slow down aging and keep his biological age constant as time passes. His ultimate desire? "Don't let yourself die." And he's keen to have people join him on this quest. However, not everyone agrees with Johnson's approach. Many longevity experts believe that the human body cannot be tinkered with in this way.


Critics on social media frequently suggest he appears older than 45 and wish him harm. Johnson, on the other hand, is unfazed. He's spent the last two years perfecting "Blueprint," a set of routines that look after him better than his judgment (1). He posts these details on the internet, making them available to everyone for a fraction of his stated $2 million annual investment. Johnson's antiaging adventure began under less-than-ideal circumstances.

From Business Success to Longevity Pursuits

He struggled with overindulgence, melancholy, and destructive habits after selling his company, Braintree Venmo, for $800 million in 2013. That's when he realized he needed more than he could muster and resorted to algorithms. Johnson now refers to himself as "the world's most measured human." His medical team examines his health constantly, analyzing everything from cholesterol levels to telomere length.

‘Meet Bryan Johnson: The man who's reinventing longevity one pill at a time. With his unique 'Blueprint' and daily regimen, he's challenging traditional health beliefs. #longevityrevolution #antiagingblueprint’

This information directs his efforts to enhance these indicators. To shape his lifestyle, he examined thousands of scholarly literature on healthspan and lifespan.

Bryan Johnson's Daily Regimen: Extreme or Essential?

Johnson's daily regimen is unusual. The majority of meals feature "super greens" and "nutty pudding." He takes 54 tablets in the morning and the remaining pills throughout the day in between treatments and measurements. He follows a calorie-restricted diet, abstains from alcohol, and avoids late nights.

Is Johnson's treatment successful? It all depends on how you define success. His vital statistics are increasing, with a VO2 max comparable to a much younger person. However, he has not stopped aging. According to Dr. Charles Brenner, a leading longevity expert, Johnson's approach cannot change the maximum lifetime.

Critics are also concerned about Johnson's standard of living. He admits that his tight habits may have an impact on his sexual relationships. Despite this, he retains friendships and enjoys activities such as table tennis.

Redefining Health and Longevity

Johnson's worldview is broader than his desire for immortality. He intends to make a simpler version of Blueprint available to the public and currently sells his brand of olive oil, to make longevity goals more accessible.

In essence, Johnson wants to change people's attitudes around health by making it more automated and accessible. While his approaches may appear extreme, they are consistent with existing knowledge regarding better living. He emphasizes the difficulty of avoiding modern temptations and believes that technology can help us overcome our innate flaws.
