If you’ve ever wondered what six million dollars worth of groundbreaking medical and nutritional breakthroughs can do for your face, look no further.
After receiving a revelation about his lifestyle in 2020, tech mogul and biohacker Bryan Johnson has since gone all out to optimize his health and age himself.
The 45-year-old, who made millions from his online payments platform Braintree, which brought in nearly $5 million in revenue in just three years. In 2012, profits soared with Braintree’s acquisition of Venmo for $26 million, and it was bought by PayPal the following year for $800 million.
He has since developed a company aimed at improving the quality of and access to high-tech brain scans intended to detect impending disease early, which has brought him a mountain of revenue for his health efforts, such as devices to prevent nocturnal erections. measurement and a blood plasma exchange. with his young son.
Johnson’s militant and eccentric regime – costing him an estimated $2 million a year – has made headlines worldwide in recent months. But photos of him before he went on a journey to make the most of his time on Earth have surfaced, and social media users have said he looked better years ago.
Years of biohacking initiatives, including fat transfers and a restrictive diet, have altered Bryan Johnson’s appearance, giving him a tight, porous, angular face that looks nothing like the one he had five years ago
Mr. Johnson’s name has become synonymous with the biohacking movement that has become popular among corporate titans like him, who have embraced unconventional health techniques based on biology and technology aimed at improving one’s physical health.
Some common methods of biohacking include wearable devices that monitor vital sites, such as a smartwatch, nootropics, or other drugs that boost cognitive function, and red light therapy to improve skin health.
Biohacking can also mean experimenting with meditation and mindfulness, as well as optimizing nutrition and exercise routines.
And with a body fat percentage hovering between five and six, his face is taut, porous, angular and, to some, repulsive.
And his ‘exploration into the future of humanity’ is a costly undertaking.
Mr. Johnson is estimated to have spent about $6 million on his quest for better health since 2020.
The funding has been spent on maintaining a cadre of physicians backed by the latest – and most exclusive – scientific advances.
In addition to fixing up his blood and internal organs, Mr Johnson has also undergone fat injections into his face to build a ‘scaffold’ to produce really young fat cells.
Mr Johnson reportedly takes between 112 and 130 supplements every day, has a team of more than 30 doctors and undergoes regular blood tests and brain scans
Johnson claims to consume 1,977 calories a day, which keeps his body fat between 5 and 6 percent
Mr. Johnson has touted the measurable benefits of turning his biological clock back to a spritely 36, even though the fine print on his birth certificate would say he’s 45.
The tech tycoon turned medical marvel is aiming for the organs of an 18-year-old and in all likelihood he could achieve his goal.
Mr Johnson has said a strict regimen of exercise, diet and medication has eradicated all signs of inflammation from his body, brought his blood pressure to a perfect level and helped him achieve physical fitness scores to rival the healthiest of teenagers.
He starts his day at 5 a.m. followed by an hour-long intense workout, follows a strict vegan diet that never exceeds 1,977 calories, and goes to bed at the same time every night after taking a blue light blocker two hours earlier. wearing glasses.
GPs will typically prescribe a similar if not less militant routine to maintain or improve their health, consisting of regular exercise, a nutritious diet high in whole products and lean protein, and a consistent sleep schedule.
Other interventions that Mr. Johnson swears by are probably inaccessible to the average American or even attractive. I’m thinking of ‘thick scaffolding’.
He and his doctors say he has reduced his overall biological age by more than five years and now has 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
And his newly sharpened facial features have generated a range of opinions online, with one person saying he resembles the android character Data in Star Trek, while another saying it “looks like he’s had a lot of plastic surgery and now” looks kinda fake’
Last year he swallowed a camera ‘the size of a carrot’ after fasting for 24 hours.
He then taking laxatives for six hoursonly to emerge on camera about 11 hours later on the other side, replete with more than 33,500 intimate photos of his intestinal tract.
The goal, he said, was to check for lymphoma, Crohn’s disease, small bowel cancer and abnormal growths in the colon called polyps.
To get the best possible picture of his own body, Mr. Johnson undergoes regular blood tests, hormone scans, MRIs, ultrasounds and colonoscopies, mostly in his home thanks to the fully equipped, medical-grade laboratory located on his discreet property in Venice, California is located. .
He also reportedly takes between 112 and 130 supplements every day, from basic turmeric to an added dose of a compound called dehydroepiandrosterone, which occurs naturally in the body and which proponents claim can improve cognitive function, bone health, promote skin health and vitality.
He has a team of more than 30 doctors, researchers and clinicians within earshot to analyze the wins, such as a perfect sleep score on his smartwatch or improved urinary poweras well as the losses, such as realizing that infusing his teenage son’s plasma into his own did not produce the clinical result he had hoped for.
Mr. Johnson’s physicality now stands in stark contrast to his days in big tech thanks to 29-year-old regenerative medicine physician Oliver Zolman.
“I have no plans to die at the moment,” he told the Daily Mail earlier this summer.
