The 45-year-old tech mogul spends $2 million a year on a team of doctors to get his teenage body back

A tech mogul worth nearly half a billion dollars has dedicated his life and body to reversing the aging process.

Bryan Johnson, 45, spends $2 million a year on a team of more than 30 doctors and medical experts who monitor nearly every aspect of his body and perform extensive tests. His goal is to turn his body into that of an 18-year-old.

Johnson wakes up at 5 a.m., takes about two dozen supplements a day, and eats a strict vegan diet of mixed foods. The process is meticulously documented. He has taken 33,537 images of his intestines and monitors everything from the weight of his bones to the number of nocturnal erections.

He and his doctors claim that in two years he has reduced his overall biological age by more than five years and now has the heart of a 37-year-old man, the skin of a 28-year-old man, and the lung capacity and physical condition of a man. an 18 year old

When he was 30 years old, the entrepreneur founded Braintree Payment Solutions, a highly successful company that he sold to eBay in 2013 for $800 million.

But the lifestyle he once led to build that company left him feeling depressed and suicidal, he said. Bloombergso he embarked on a journey to understand how his body works.

Along the way, he founded several bio-businesses before finally, two years ago, committing to perhaps his most ambitious project yet: reengineering his body.

As part of what he calls Project Blueprint, Johnson lives by an extremely strict regimen that is more like a full-time job.

She has had her pelvic floor cleaned with electromagnetic pulses to improve her muscle tone in hard-to-reach places, and she wears blue-blocking glasses for two hours before going to sleep at the same time every day.

He claims to eat exactly 1,977 calories a day, which ensures his body fat is between 5 and 6 percent.

She once suffered an allergic reaction during a procedure where she had some fat injected into her face, causing extreme swelling. On another occasion, her body fat dropped to 3 percent, increasing her risk of a heart malfunction.

“My conscious mind is never consulted on what it wants to eat, my body is,” Johnson said in a 40-minute YouTube video outlining the details of his morning routine.

“These measurements ask my liver, my heart and my DNA methylation what they need to thrive as biological processes and organs for my body.”

“It’s not even a guess if I’m going to have anything else,” she said of deviating from the diet. It’s just out of the question.

Johnson says his goal is to make sure his brain, liver, kidneys, teeth, skin, hair, penis and rectum function like they did when he was 18 years old.

“The Blueprint has that kind of potential to reinvent our relationship with health and time, and we really could be on the cusp of something dramatically different and better,” he added.

“There is not a person in the world who is 45 years old chronologically but 35 in all organs,” his lead physician, Oliver Zolman, 29, told Bloomberg.

Johnson and Zolman together read the latest scientific literature and use Johnson as a guinea pig to test promising cutting-edge treatments.

Zolman oversees dozens of medical procedures at Johnson, many of which are extreme and painful, and measures their results with blood tests, MRIs, ultrasounds and colonoscopies.

For Zolman, the improvements they’ve been able to make to Johnson’s body thus far are just the beginning. “We have not achieved any notable results,” he said. “In Bryan, we’ve gotten small, reasonable results, and that’s to be expected.”

He exercises for an hour a day with more intensive training sessions three times a week. It is an integral part of your mission that your bodily functions are tested as much as possible.

It monitors your awake body temperature, blood glucose, heart rate variations, and oxygen levels while you sleep. He also undergoes regular tests aimed more specifically at his kidneys, prostate, thyroid, and nervous system.

Johnson was born into a large Mormon family in Utah. He was raised by his mother and his stepfather, who was a trucker. At 19 he went on a two-year mission to Ecuador.

As a college student at Brigham Young University, he ran a business selling cell phones to other students who helped him pay for college. He then attended the University of Chicago, where he did an MBA and later trained at Braintree.

He also started the OS Fund, a venture capital fund whose mission is to “invest in entrepreneurs and scientists who are working on quantum leap discoveries that promise to rewrite the operating systems of life.”

Subsequently, he invested $54 million of his own money to finance Kernel, reported dirt, a company with the not immodest objective of ‘building the world’s first neuroprosthesis to improve human intelligence’. The company makes helmet sensors that attach to the head to record brain activity.

Johnson, a father of three, now lives in Venice, California, in a home he bought for $5.7 million and later modified to include a full medical suite and part of Project Blueprint.

His lifestyle and obsessive commitment to trying to undermine the effects of time have received some pretty significant criticism, with many viewers of his online content comparing him to American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman.

“This is expected and it’s fine,” he says of the criticism he has received.

“What I’m doing may sound extreme, but I’m trying to show that self-harm and decay are not inevitable,” he told Bloomberg.

Although details are unknown, his doctors suggested to the outlet that he is about to embark on some much more experimental procedures, including gene therapies.

“There has to be a better way than what’s happening now,” he said.
