Brian Johnson takes 61 pills every day, and eats 70 pounds of vegetables every month. He gets up at 4:30 in the morning and goes to bed at 8:30 in the evening. Every hour of his day is constrained by an algorithm built from rigorous physical observation and the science of more than 2,000 academic publications.
The 45-year-old American tech entrepreneur spends about $2 million a year to stop the aging process in his body and has a team of doctors who constantly study him while he finishes the “protocols” or activities of his intense schedule.
He considers himself the most watched person in human history yet insists he is not miserable.
“I have never in my entire life been happier or more satisfied or had a more broadened consciousness. I pity the earlier version of me that was on this roller coaster in search of his next hit,” Johnson said Wednesday at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech Conference in Deer Valley, Utah. All the time.
Johnson does not desire cheat days, or any of the “cheap thrills” of human life. He said dedicating every minute of his life to reversing the aging of his organs has made life better than ever.
“It’s the thing that everyone assumes too, that I somehow want a pizza or a donut. I don’t. I get sick when I think about it,” Johnson said.
Johnson’s company Blueprint, launched in 2021, attempts to create a routine for optimal human health and wellness. As a spokesperson for the company’s cohorts, Johnson said he was ruled by cravings and hunger in his mind, for groceries or junk food.
“It was not a reliable form of authority. My mind was always bastard and doing things of a self-destructive nature,” Johnson said.
It refers to a period in his life before he started Blueprint that saw a series of entrepreneurial ventures. Most notably, he founded the mobile payment platform Braintree in 2007. The company, which was one of the fastest growing companies at the time, was bought by Venmo for $26.2 million, and was later acquired by Paypal for $800 million. Johnson is reportedly worth $400 million.
Now, with his organs behind the wheel, his life is not a prison, but liberation from the influence of time and old age.
When asked if he had any doubts or plans to stop, he described Blueprint as the most advanced way to improve health (as ever). Johnson claims he has scaled back His biological age is more than 5 years. The routine may require an entire lifestyle, but when asked, Johnson found it more effective compared to another known case of a Harvard professor, who claims to have reduced his biological age by 10 years simply through specific dietary habits, such as intermittent fasting and cutting out alcohol, meat and sugar. Johnson said the Harvard professor tracks the same set of biometrics as Blueprint.
Johnson challenged the audience, saying, “Prove me wrong with your statements.”
There’s no part in striving for exaggeration or crossing moral boundaries—until the controversial test of what happens after his 17-year-old son’s plasma is absorbed. Did not produce any results, but he does not regret trying.
Johnson’s father wanted to try to reverse the effects of aging, and plasma was on the table. The businessman’s son overheard the conversation with his father and volunteered to test his plasma.
The tech CEO has blasted his critics as “old-fashioned”.
“People presuppose a lot of things about the Blueprint. They assume a lot of things without realizing that these are thoughts they have in their minds and they don’t know anything about anything that’s going on inside my world. It’s a good reminder that we have these default thought processes, but it really does paint a picture,” Johnson said. different from reality.
