Tech Mogul Bryan Johnson, 45, ‘spends $2 million per year to get 18-year-old body’
27th January 2023
A middle-age software developer worth nine figures says he spends around $2 million each year to bio-hack his body into regaining its youth.
Bryan Johnson, 45, who made his fortune in his 30s when he sold his payment processing company Braintree Payment Solutions to EBay for $800 million in cash, is touting a daily routine that he says has given him the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity and fitness of an 18-year-old.
Johnson has a team of 30 doctors and regenerative health experts overseeing his regimen, he told Bloomberg News.
His goal is to eventually have all of his major organs — including his brain, liver, kidneys, teeth, skin, hair, penis and rectum — functioning as they were in his late teens, Johnson said.
I’m not sure I buy that. Telomeres don’t respond to exercise.
The initiative, known as Project Blueprint, requires Johnson to abide by a strict vegan diet amounting to 1,977 calories per day, a daily exercise regimen that lasts an hour, high-intensity exercise three times a week, and going to bed every night at the same time.
I think I’d rather get old.

Every time I read of people like this, I arrive at the same conclusion you do. I also wonder why they care so much.

He obviously wants to live forever, and thinks that he will succeed if only he can find the right ‘hack’.
