New Delhi: Bryan Johnson, 45, a rich software entrepreneur is on a mission to defy his body’s ageing process and the age of 18, is his goal.
Johnson has employed more than 30 medical professionals to keep an eye on every aspect of his health. Oliver Zolman, a specialist specialising in regenerative medicine, and his group have pledged to work to slow down the ageing process in each of Johnson’s organs, Bloomberg reported.
In addition to using Johnson as a test subject for the most promising therapies, Zolman and Johnson avidly research the scientific literature on ageing and longevity. They keep track of Johnson’s progress in every way possible. The cost of a medical suite at Johnson’s residence in Venice, California, as well as other startup expenses, was several million dollars. He plans to spend at least $2 million on his body this year, according to the report.
He desires the organs of an 18-year-old, including the bladder, penis, rectum, bladder, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, tendons, skin, and teeth and doesn’t care if people judge him. Addressing the criticism he receives, Johnson told Bloomberg, “It is expected and fine.”
“The body delivers a certain configuration at age 18. This really is an impassioned approach to achieve age 18 everywhere,” he said.
According to Bloomberg, over the course of more than a year, Johnson, Zolman, and the rest of the team have been conducting the experiments they call Project Blueprint. Johnson must adhere to rigorous requirements for his diet (1,977 calories per day), exercise (one hour per day, high intensity three times per week), and rest (eight hours each night) (at the same time every night, after two hours wearing glasses that block blue light).
Johnson continually monitors his vital indicators for the purpose of fine-tuning this approach. He has a battery of tests and procedures every month, including blood draws, magnetic resonance imaging scans, ultrasounds, and colonoscopies, some of which are highly invasive and painful, the report added.
