Recently luck interviewstech CEO Byran Johnson—whose $2 million reverse aging regimen has caught the attention of the internet—says he wants to live long enough to enjoy more of what life has to offer.
“I love life,” said Johnson, whose rigorous medical interventions have given him the heart health of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old, according to to his team of doctors. “If we can show that aging can be slowed and reversed, it will change everything for the human race.”
He added: “Am I afraid of dying? No.”
A few years later, Johnson said he learned to fly an airplane, receiving his pilot’s license.
“It amazes me how well the airplane’s autopilot flies,” he said. “I thought, can I create an autopilot for me and my body.” To do that, he relied on medicine and technology.
Bryan Johnson’s daily routine
His curiosity led him to follow a strict method with the aim of reversing aging with the help of a team of 30 from nutritionists to MRI specialists. He undergoes daily body fat scans, routine MRIs, and often, invasive blood and stool sample tests to determine the biological age of his organs.
He has 100 different protocols embedded in his day, he said. Johnson consumes exactly 1,977 calories per day, and more than 70 pounds of vegetables per month. His breakfast is usually a mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger, followed by eating “nutty pudding” with nuts and berries, and finally, eating vegetables, berries, nuts, and seeds (with 15 grams of 100% dark chocolate and 30 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil). He admitted that he would finish his three ounces of red wine a day that he used to consume to reach the metrics.
With a wake-up call at 4:30 each morning, Johnson completes 35 different exercises and takes a list of supplements. This all forms part of his Blueprint Project, where he measures the health of his organs to determine his rate of aging. He says he plans to continue this regimen indefinitely.
‘A walking experiment’
But the data, and the impact of his efforts on his biological age, is preliminary.
While aging and longevity experts find Johnson’s commitment interesting, they say it’s a concern given the level of discipline and money required to maintain the routine — not to mention, the limited science. which can be used to support his choices.
In many ways, he’s “a walking experiment,” says Dan Buettner, longevity expert and founder of Blue Zones LLCsaid before luck. He added that he “still deserves attention,” even if the results a decade from now are more fruitful.
“I admire anyone who tries to use science to live longer…finally, there is an intervention that will represent a huge leap in life expectancy,” he said. “I don’t think it’s here yet.”
But the uncertainty of whether or not Johnson’s approach will succeed doesn’t seem to bother him. “Is the fountain of youth here today hiding tens of thousands of scientific publications and very hard work?” he said.
The rich CEO doesn’t think he’s the guinea pig.
“Let’s play an infinite game,” he said luck. “None of this comes from fear; all this comes from the full joy of life and the belief that there are great things waiting for us in our next evolution.”
