On his Instagram profile the entrepreneur presents himself as the ‘crazy person who tries not to die’. Not surprisingly, Johnson’s project for a 28-year-old younger body is called “Don’t Die” (in English). On X (formerly Twitter), a comparative image published by the billionaire himself went viral and shocked internet users with his body changes between 2018 and 2024.
To the newspaper The globe, the North American explained how the idea of prolonging one’s life was born. He says the goal came after selling Brain Tree Venmo, his payment platform, to PayPal. The deal was signed for $800 million (R$4.3 billion, at current prices) and, from that moment on, Johnson took responsibility for leaving a legacy that would be “respected” in 25th century, 400 years from now.
“From that, I wondered what they would say about this moment. And I thought, ‘Well, let’s figure out how not to die.'” The game of not dying is the most played game by everyone on the planet, every second of life. everyday. Everyone is trying to survive. That was the starting point,” Johnson explained.
The entrepreneur explains that, in his daily life, every calorie is counted and therapies are based on the best scientific evidence available. The data, according to him, is collected by his team of doctors, who outline the goals to be implemented in the millionaire himself: “I have become the most measured person in the world and, from my point of view, I have the best biomarkers in the whole world.”
“We’re not trying to mask aging, we’re literally trying to rejuvenate,” Johnson underlines, recalling that the goal of the project is for your body to reach the biological age of 18: “The long-term goal is not to die. It’s the choice to have a tomorrow.”
Asked if he believes he is making sacrifices for his goal, Johnson is objective in denying it: “I think the people who eat ultra-processed foods are the ones who are sacrificing themselves,” underlines the entrepreneur, who claims to live in his best state ».
Looking for rejuvenation
The protocol that Bryan Johnson says has been able to slow his aging involves daily measurements of data such as weight and body mass index and infrared light for a few minutes on the face to simulate sunlight and adjust the body clock.
Even during sleep, the method involves the use of a penis ring that monitors nocturnal erections. The manufacturer claims that the data collected by the device helps quickly identify cases that could cause erectile dysfunction. According to the entrepreneur, the entire process is monitored by professionals and also includes measures such as:
- Wake up at 4.30am and go to sleep at 8.30pm, do physical activity for an hour every morning;
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages and do not eat fats or sweets;
- Maintain a vegan diet that does not exceed 2,000 calories per day;
- Eat your third and last meal of the day at 11:00 am;
- Take more than 100 pills a day, including vitamins and medications.
In this process of seeking “youth,” Bryan tried several techniques without scientific evidence to rejuvenate himself, including blood plasma transfusion. He received the plasma from his 18-year-old son and donated his plasma to his 71-year-old father.
