The youth race has never been more popular and a wealthy 45-year-old CEO is willing to shell out millions to look 18.
Bryan Johnson from Venice, California wants to be biologically young again. He is about to spend more than $2 million to make his dream come true.
The American will undergo several medical procedures and examinations. Electromagnetic pulses will stimulate his pelvic floor muscles and his nocturnal erections will be measured.
Bryan Johnson also gets regular MRIs and has his body fat and heart rate variability measured. Blood and stool samples are also analyzed.
According to Bloomberg, Johnson is meeting with a team of 30 doctors for regular and sometimes invasive testing as part of the project they’ve dubbed Blueprint.
The project manager Oliver Zolman is a specialist in regenerative medicine. He has made it his mission to “help reverse the aging process in every one of Johnson’s organs.” Zolman charges up to $1,000 an hour for patients interested in extensive testing like the one Johnson is undergoing.
According to initial data from Blueprint doctors, Johnson has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old. At 40, his overall biological age is at least five years younger.
“We didn’t get great results. We have small results, reasonable results. That was to be expected,” Oliver Zolman told Bloomberg.

Johnson, who has a medical center of sorts at his home, adheres to a nutritional ritual of 24 supplements and other medications every morning at 5 a.m. He’s consuming “vegan calories a day” in 1977, exercising for an hour wearing glasses to block blue light.
“It may seem extreme, but I’m trying to prove that self-harm and decay aren’t inevitable,” Bryan Johnson told Bloomberg.
Ever since seeing results, the 45-year-old has been pursuing his dream, despite criticism that it’s all going too far.
A Bloomberg reporter who met him at home wrote. “You could have mistaken him for a big, bloated china doll.” Johnson reportedly recently had a fat injection in his face that will help him accumulate more youthful cells, but he reportedly had an allergic reaction.
Johnson has made it clear whether it’s because of his dream of staying fit and young, outliving his own generation, or exploring the untapped potential of emerging longevity technology, he won’t be stopping in his quest anytime soon. .
“The whole field of longevity is going through a drastic shift,” George Church, a geneticist at Harvard University, told Bloomberg.
