Back to EpisodesThis 46-Year-Old Tech CEO Spends $2M a Year to Age Backwards (It's Working)
Published 6 days, 1 hour ago
Description
What if a tech CEO could actually reverse aging? Bryan Johnson was biologically 45. Now tests show he's 18. And he's documenting everything.
In this episode, Adrian Wells breaks down the most extreme anti-aging experiment ever attempted. Johnson spends $2 million yearly on a protocol that's producing measurable results. We're talking blood transfusions from his teenage son, 100+ daily supplements, and medical procedures that sound like science fiction.
🎯 What You'll Learn:
• Why Johnson's $2M protocol includes eating exactly 1,977 calories daily (and the science behind precision nutrition)
• The controversial plasma exchange treatments that filter and replace his blood monthly
• How epigenetic testing measures biological age vs chronological age (and what Johnson's results actually mean)
• The full-time medical team monitoring his every biomarker 24/7
👤 Perfect for: lifelong learners and anyone curious about the cutting edge of human optimization and longevity science.
