Bryan Johnson, a millionaire with a strong desire to live forever, has been making headlines for his extreme efforts to reverse the aging process. Inspired by the famous question posed by Queen, "who wants to live forever?", Bryan has dedicated his life to finding ways to extend his lifespan.
In the Netflix documentary "Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever", Bryan shares his journey of trying various methods to achieve his goal. One of his strategies involved injecting himself with plasma donated by his teenage son, as part of his Project Blueprint. He also sells his own supplements and personalized health plans to others, while taking 54 supplements himself every day.
However, Bryan's quest for immortality hit a roadblock when he discovered that one of his supplements may have been doing the opposite of what he intended. The drug, called Rapamycin, was initially used as an immunosuppressant and later found to have potential anti-aging benefits due to its ability to inhibit the mTOR pathway related to aging and age-related diseases.
Unfortunately, after five years of using Rapamycin, Bryan found out that not only was the drug aging him, but it was also causing several side effects. Despite trying different dosages, the side effects persisted, leading Bryan to discontinue the drug entirely. He explained, "Despite the immense potential from pre-clinical trials, my team and I came to the conclusion that the benefits of lifelong dosing of rapamycin do not justify the hefty side-effects."
Despite this setback, Bryan remains optimistic and continues to closely monitor his biomarkers and the latest research in longevity. Along with avoiding the sun and following a vegan diet, he also incorporates red light therapy, regular exercise, and stretching into his daily routine. In fact, Bryan's dedication to staying young and healthy is so strong that he spends approximately $2 million every year on his anti-aging efforts.
While some experts have expressed concerns about the potential risks of taking Rapamycin for longevity purposes, Bryan remains committed to his goal of living forever. As he stated in the documentary, "Longevity research around these experimental compounds is constantly evolving, necessitating ongoing, close observation of the research and my biomarkers which my team and I do constantly." Despite the challenges and setbacks, Bryan's determination to stay young and healthy knows no bounds.
