Tech exec who ‘trashed’ his body for 23 years now spends $2 million a year to reverse the damage

Well he does look good for 45.

Nice body too.

We have so many threads about this guy, OP. Here's the most recent one.

R1 yeah he looks 43

Exactly, R4. Nobody is going to mistake him for a 25 year old.

Who does he think he is? Some DataLounge Elderqueen.

Father and son.

Shirtless!

good for him for focusing on his health

I'm 61 and never drank much but I've cut it out; I'm doing yoga and eating better.

they say we have two lives and the second one begins when we realize we only have one.

I may never look like this guy but I can look the best I can be.

[quote]Well he does look good for 45.

If you mean a DLer 45 which in regular people years would be 67, then sure.

Otherwise, no.

Not to mention, he's unsurprisingly a terrible person. Look at how his face has aged in a few short years. He's clearly had work done on his face - don't give me "reversing" aging to explain the difference in his face.

It doesn’t matter

I'm sure on his deathbed he'll be glad he went to sleep at 8:30 every night.

Sounds like a nut-

If I'm not mistaken, Calvin Klein did a similar thing in the '70s and we all see the outcome of that.....

For what? To spend 10 more years of his life in assisted living? Fuck it. I'd rather have a life that balances healthy and unhealthy and die sooner. I cant even imagine how not fun this guy is to be around. No thanks.

I'm so tired of all this bullshit. Every day, something. It's now probably simpler to list the things that don't cause diabetes or dementia.

Eat well, mostly stuff you cooked for yourself. Exercise regularly. Get enough sleep. Stay in contact with people who make you feel good. Stop worrying, it might not happen.

The Gods have a strong sense of the ridiculous.

I'm betting he gets run over by a bus on a Tuesday afternoon and instantly dies in the street.

HOW MANY THREADS DO WE NEED ABOUT THIS TOOL. WELL, OP? Are you proud of yourself?

He'd be perfect in a CULT.

[quote] good for him for focusing on his health

I hope he dies tomorrow.

Serves him right.

Just smoke copious amounts of pot.

This douche. Again?

My soulmate!

(See you in 6-10)

“Tonight at 6, we report on a fatal bus crash. The deceased, a middle aged male, was apparently hit by the bus at the height of the rush hour commute.”

[quote]HOW MANY THREADS DO WE NEED ABOUT THIS TOOL. WELL, OP?

OMG - WHEN WILL THE TEARS STOP???

These types usually end up dying waaaaay before they expected to in some accident or by getting sick in spite of all their precautions. In the meantime, they never got to enjoy living.

He's being stalked by the ghost of Euell Gibbons.

I want his son's sperm in me, quite deeply.

He's looking to optimize his overall health. Above all he says a great night sleep is the key to maintaining optimum health because that is when your body heals and rejuvenates.

God have you ever listened to anyone more boring than this motherfucker?

Drown him just to shut him up.

I agree with R25 100 percent.

I believe in leading a healthy lifestyle, but anything taken to an excess is excess. Just eat mindfully, with some awareness of nutrition, get regular rest, be active physically , preferably daily, without going crazy, exercise your mind, make and keep friends, and most importantly, laugh heartily as often as you can. You're still gonna die when it's your time, but you will likely be healthier for the bulk of your life than people who don't do any of these things. But I'm speaking from the perspective of someone whose mother is 101, so other people might have a different perspective.

Naturally, he sounds completely insane.

"Johnson is currently single." Quelle surprise.

Looks like some quacks are making money off of his vain ass

Typical tech douche with too much money, OCD, and time on his hands to obsess over his unique and strange eccentricity. He sounds exhausting and like a Jack Dorsey type, who also happens to be an eccentric douche asshole. Sometimes, the universe can be very good and efficient at smacking down jerks like this, reminding them their fate is inevitable just like everyone else's. Does he drive a Tesla with Autopilot? That's a giant risk factor right there, trusting your life to Elon Musk's decision-making.

I’d bet he will die young. The gods have a wicked sense of humor.

It looks like he has a surgical sca below his belly button in the link provided by R27,.

He's like Suzanne Somers and her mania to live to 110 by taking a million vitamins and a non-toxic environment and even harvesting her own stem cells - then gone before she even got to 80.

The wealthy have always searched for some way to buy immortality for themselves. Potions from alchemists, contributions to the church, or sheep glands in exclusive Swiss clinics.

And then they died.

He looks in his 40s.

He's not necessarily looking fora magic solution for immortality. He's looking into what to avoid and what to do in order to obtain the best health status, which in result should provide him with his best chance to live a long life.

I know that I want to be healthy, and sharp and good mobility in my old age rather that be housebound and trying to extend my life regardless of quality of life. I'd rather live to a very healthy and active 85 rather than a bedridden and unhealthy 98.

R36 might be right.

Roy Walford, one of the world's great researchers on the anti-aging effects of caloric restriction, wrote a book on how to live to 120 ("The 120 year diet") but died at 79 from ALS ,which he suspected may have been triggered by the time he spent in the oxygen-deprived atmosphere of Biosphere 2, as part of his longevity experiments

Where is DL's Autism Sniffer? Seems like a good candidate

He has feminized his face. On purpose or just a suboptimal result of plastic surgery?

You can tell he used to be fat just by looking at his stomach. It has that sagginess of skin over the six pack.

Johnson is one of the creepiest men I have ever seen. He's 100% mentally ill. Imagine what he's like to be around in person.

[quote] but died at 79 from ALS ,which he suspected may have been triggered by the time he spent in the oxygen-deprived atmosphere of Biosphere 2

Nonsense. While researches have yet to determine what causes ALS, being “oxygen deprived” isn’t one of them.

Those swim goggles will give him brutal eye bags.

The guy is ghastly looking and his overall vibe is the same.

"Unfortunately for Walford and for the scientific community, Roy Walford died at the age of 79 on April 27, 2004 in Santa Monica, CA due to complications from ALS. It is possible that the "nerve damage" Walford claimed to have suffered because of oxygen deprivation in Biosphere II was actually the beginnings of the dreaded motor neuron disease. It is also possible Walford's restricted diet allowed him to escape the ravages of this disease for longer than he might have otherwise. Nevertheless, Walford's dream has not died with him -- his work helped to spark an interest in gerontology research that has implications to help treat many human diseases and lead us to a greater understanding of the aging process."

* I should have been more clear in my earlier comment

He has chicken cutlet titties.

[quote] Controversial tech millionaire says his father, 70, is now biologically 46 thanks to injections of his 'super blood'

Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson claims he has slowed his father's rate of aging by 25 years by giving him transfusions of his "super blood."

"My super blood reduced my Dad's age by 25 years," Johnson said Wednesday in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The multi-millionaire, who is known for his controversial anti-aging treatments, said his father was injected with one liter of his plasma, which is the liquid part of the blood.

Since then, he said, his 70-year-old Dad, who had been aging at the rate of a 71-year-old before the injection, has been aging like a 46-year-old.

"I am my dad's blood boy," Johnson said on X.

Johnson was careful to frame his own findings. In the post on X, he noted that he based his assessment of his father's aging on one biomarker, which is a medical sign that can be picked up by tests. Johnson didn't state which marker he was using.

Though biomarkers are a useful tool to hint at what's going on in the body, they aren't an accurate measure of the body's aging on their own, lead physician, Oliver Zolman, previously told Insider.

It is also not possible to know from one intervention if it is the injection that led to the change in the rate of aging, or whether there could be something else going on, Johnson noted.

Johnson passed his plasma to his father about six months ago, he said on X. On the same day, Johnson himself received plasma from his 17-year-old son, though he later said he personally saw no benefit from the procedure.

Johnson, who considers himself a "professional rejuvenation athlete", has been trying dozens of interventions on himself to see if he can slow aging. These range from a carefully controlled diet and strict exercise regimen to fat injections and laser treatments.

Some clinics in the US are offering injections of plasma from young donors as an antiaging treatment, but there is "there is no compelling clinical evidence on its efficacy," the FDA said in 2019.

In some circumstances like wound healing, it may make sense to use a person's own plasma. That science is quickly evolving, but even then, there's no solid evidence that it could reduce aging, per a post from John Hopkins University.

This guy is a total wacko!

“Time, tide and trolley wait for no man.”

[quote] Anti-aging guru Bryan Johnson, 46, claims he beat balding and stopped going gray: ‘It’s been a lot of hard work’

He’s trying to make hairstory.

Bryan Johnson, the Los Angeles biohacker famed for his $2 million-a-year mission to reverse the aging process, claims that he has beat both balding and graying in a hair-raising new video posted to YouTube.

“Genetically I should be bald,” the 46-year-old declared at the outset of the clip, which has already garnered over 505,000 views.

The tech guru took viewers through the 3 tactics he uses to keep his locks looking luscious — a routine that forms part of his Project Blueprint initiative to stay forever young.

“The best time to work on your hair is before you start losing it,” Johnson insisted, telling followers in their 20s to start taking precautionary measures before their strands start to thin or shed.

Below, the 3 top tactics for his tresses — plus the two products he uses to stop his hair going gray

The first thing Johnson does every morning to keep a full head of hair is red light therapy.

The tech guru dons a on a battery-powered red light therapy cap for six minutes, saying the device “increases blood flow and also stimulates hair follicle activity.

He said studies on the cap “are pretty good” and while it isn’t the most powerful step in his hair health protocol, when combining it with other treatments it’s helpful.

After using his red light cap, Johnson applies a topical treatment every single morning.

“I apply this topical to my scalp on a daily basis,” he stated. “You’ve probably heard of topicals like Rogaine and Minoxidil 5% – both are effective.”

However, Johnson uses a special concoction made from the following ingredients: Caffeine USP 1%, Finasteride USP 0.25%, Minoxidil USP 5%, Azelaic Acid 1.5%, Diclofenac 0.5%, Tea Tree Oil 5%, Rosemary Oil 0.37%, Ginko Biloba 0.05%, Biotin 0.01%, and Melatonin USP 0.0033%.

He said that people can apply this formula once in the morning and once in the evening for a more aggressive hair growth strategy.

Johnson is also a proponent of microneedling, which he does to “enhance the effects of the topicals.”

During the procedure, a healthcare provider uses a roller with small, fine needles on it, moving over areas of hair loss to create punctures in the skin. It’s believed that the small injuries caused by the needles help provoke hair growth.

Johnson admitted her hasn’t been consistent with microneedling since as he has also been doing a specialized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and didn’t want to cause too much trauma to his scalp.

However, he told viewers that microneedling is “efficacious.”

Johnson also revealed that he is additionally testing out laser treatment and would keep fans updated on the results.

Meanwhile, Johnson also dished his top tops for fighting graying hair.

The age-defying biohacker began going gray in his 20s, and the first signs of gray appeared right near his temples. He said his lifestyle may have contributed to this.

“It was kind of a crazy time in my life,’ he recalled.

‘I was building Braintree, Venmo, I had three little babies, I was in a challenging relationship, trying to leave my born into religion … a lot going on,” he said. “Also, I was really depressed.”

He said that by his mid-to-late 30s he was “basically all gray.”

Johnson said while he dyed his hair at a salon in the past, he now uses two products to battle grays, but his hair is also coloring itself.

The two products he uses are GR7, an anti-hair loss and anti-gray treatment which he applies three or four times per week, and Mayraki, a colored herbal extract that he applies once a week.

“We biopsied my hair, we looked at under the microscope and we see that the color is being produced beneath the scalp – so it’s actually working,” he explained.

He said those who feel overwhelmed by hair loss treatments and don’t know where to start could begin with using 5% of Romaine or the generic version, Minoxidil.

“You don’t need the longer formulation that I have,” he said.

Taking autistic self absorption to the next evolutionary level in autistic self absorption.

Not trying to be vain or braggy or whatever, but I’m his age and look better than him without doing all this shit. I do Botox, to be fair. But my pout is that 45 is not 80. He looks okay, but nothing crazy.

Fine, R58.

But did you create Venmo?

Yeah, I didn't think so. He's crazy, but I think he looks good.

And you probably never had this level of stress (and heredity), which he points out contributed to early graying and hair loss:

[quote] ‘I was building Braintree, Venmo, I had three little babies, I was in a challenging relationship, trying to leave my born into religion … a lot going on,” he said.

So given all this, he looks damn good.

Johnson said while he dyed his hair at a salon in the past, he now uses two products to battle grays, but *****his hair is also coloring itself.****

Psychopathic. I feel sorry for his son.

Everything in moderation, and pay attention to what ailments or illnesses your parents and grandparents had that did them in. It's mostly a matter of genetics.

All Millennials think they will live forever, staying sexy and fuckable.

Kathy Griffin really needs to lay off the plastic surgery. She looks awful!
