Tech millionaire Bryan Johnson has made headlines for his extravagant anti-aging regimen. At 47, Johnson is spending $2 Million annually on advanced treatments and procedures to maintain youthful skin.
Recently, he shared photographs of his four-day meal plan on social media, drawing comparisons to Indian tiffin boxes and sparking both admiration and laughter from followers.
Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants To Live Forever
Tech billionaire Bryan Johnson is taking drastic measures in order to live longer than even our most optimistic expectations. Documentarian Chris Smith (Tiger King, Fyre) provides audiences with a glimpse of Bryan Johnson’s journey in Don’t Die.
Former Braintree Venmo cofounder William “Tim” Hwang has spent $2 Million annually over several years on an anti-aging regimen of diet changes, exercise and controversial techniques such as receiving “young blood” transfusions from his teenage son to reduce biological age. These experiments have attracted both curiosity and criticism across the globe.
His latest endeavor involves injections intended to make him look younger – which he refers to as skin therapy. For instance, treatments like Sculptra stimulate natural collagen production while others like Replenix aim to reverse signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Both treatments require multiple sessions to achieve significant results and may cause severe side effects, with allergic reactions leaving him unrecognizable for several years – though his allergies have since settled and outweigh any risks involved in treatment.
Johnson is currently exploring ways to extend his health lifespan using genetic editing; however, this field remains relatively young and the results remain unpredictable. Beyond his own experimentation, Johnson also serves as an adviser for Tally Health (a new biotech company which seeks to add 10 years onto human lifespan through organ regeneration and gene editing).
Silicon Valley heavy-hitters Yuri Milner and Sam Altman back the company, as well as celebrity investors Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashton Kutcher among them. Though many people remain skeptical of longevity research, some believe its potential is worth studying; others view Johnson as just using his fame to sell health kits or $75 sets of olive oil at his convenience; regardless, his methods have amassed an ever-expanding cult following that cannot be ignored.
Project Blueprint
Tech millionaire Peter Thiel has dedicated $2 Million a year towards fighting off aging through an elaborate regimen called Project Blueprint, with hopes to reduce biological age (how quickly cells degrade), stay healthier for as long as possible and beat back Father Time with this approach to anti-ageing. Interestingly enough, Thiel claims his new regimen has reduced epigenetic age by five years!
Bryan Johnson maintains this by following a strict diet, taking various health treatments, taking supplements, and regularly having his blood tested. According to him, his body now resembles that of someone 37 years old with skin from 28 year-olds and lung capacity of 18 year olds; and has an epigenetic age of just 5.1 years which is an impressive accomplishment at over 50 years.
He recently launched a subscription service allowing users to try his anti-aging protocol for $333 a month, including a 90-day regimen, 90 supplement capsules, six ounce bottle of his longevity mix, extra virgin olive oil and nutty pudding mix. Now available across America and many European nations including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark France Germany Ireland Italy Japan Netherlands New Zealand Norway Switzerland UK.
As part of developing a blueprint, it is crucial to establish the scope and requirements for your project. Doing this will help define its limits while limiting resources necessary. Furthermore, this process will identify any technical restrictions which could impede its success.
Vooban will conduct workshops with your team during the Project Blueprint phase to gain an in-depth knowledge of both its internal processes and technological infrastructure. From these meetings will come an individual plan tailored specifically for your business.
Vooban’s experts are available to guide your company through the process of creating an actionable roadmap for any big projects you might have in mind.
Project Baby Face
Billionaire Bryan Johnson has become one of the leaders of the anti-aging movement, and his quest for immortality is bold yet risky. Johnson spends $2 million annually on cutting-edge health techniques designed to reverse his biological age, and employs 30 doctors as part of this monitoring. Unfortunately, Johnson’s latest experiment turned disastrous; posting an Instagram photo showing his face swelling from a procedure known as Project Baby Face; hoping that fat injection would restore its youthful features after significant weight loss had rendered his face gaunt and gaunt. Unfortunately it didn’t work that way either.
But his injections of fat-derived extracellular matrix caused an allergic reaction and his face to swell grotesquely – to such an extent that he couldn’t open his eyes or speak, quickly drawing the attention of social media.
Although the billionaire may be seen as an innovator of anti-aging science, many experts remain wary of his claims. Critics contend that his Blueprint protocol is far from foolproof, pushing himself beyond healthy limits by forgoing sunlight exposure, eating very few calories and having his blood swapped with that of his 18-year-old son; in addition, he maintains 14 stage “skin protocols” which involve him scrubbing his face with sea salt before dousing it in cold water drenchings for best results.
He has tried various treatments such as waxing his facial hair off, using lasers to reduce wrinkles, and having PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections under each eye. Most recently he made headlines when he switched blood with that of his son to receive plasma transfusions – draining approximately one liter each time!
Tech entrepreneur who hopes to reach 150 continues his anti-ageing experiments. He claims he can now turn back his epigenetic age by 5.1 years, with birthdays now occurring every 19 months instead of every 12 like it used to. Unfortunately, one experiment may cost him his life: 46-year-old proponent of telomerase therapy – an experimental drug thought to extend cellular lifespan by slowing protein degradation within the body – may end up costing his life; although FDA has not approved or verified whether or not this therapy would even work or even be safe or effective in practice.
Plasma Exchange
Plasma exchange is a medical procedure used to remove harmful substances from your body’s blood and replace them with alternative plasma, also known as plasmapheresis. It may be used to treat various autoimmune disorders (Guillain-Barre syndrome and myasthenia gravis); multiple sclerosis; certain infections; as well as to counter the immune system’s natural rejection process after organ transplant. While not a cure, plasmapheresis can reduce symptoms while increasing quality of life.
During a heart catheterization procedure, providers insert needles either into your arms or a central line catheter running from large veins in your neck to your heart. A machine then draws blood from these veins and separates out plasma for replacement with fluid and sometimes protein known as albumin; your provider then returns your blood through needles or the central line catheter after treatment has concluded – with each session or “round” lasting several hours.
This treatment is generally safe, though there may be certain risks. Hypotension, which can leave you feeling weak or dizzy, and low calcium in your blood (which can be treated by infusing more calcium into it), are among the few risks. Therefore it’s essential that plenty of water be consumed prior to starting any therapy session.
Rarely, blood clots may form during plasma exchange treatment and this could be potentially dangerous. As a precautionary measure, your healthcare provider may give you blood thinners such as Coumadin (Coumadine), Pradaxa (dabigatran) or Xarelto (rivaroxaban).
Plasma exchange can be very effective in decreasing CIDP flare-ups and improving quality of life for those living with the condition, though it’s not a cure; other treatments will still need to be utilized to control symptoms. If plasma exchange seems like something that might help you manage symptoms more effectively, speak to your neurologist or neurology nurse specialist; they will be able to give more details and assist in helping determine whether plasma exchange treatment would be suitable for you.
