Summary

Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old tech multimillionaire focused on anti-aging, stopped using rapamycin—a supplement he took for five years—after research suggested it might accelerate aging.

Johnson cited side effects like skin infections and glucose issues, as well as findings from a recent study showing rapamycin could worsen epigenetic aging.

Known for extreme anti-aging experiments, Johnson also created the health startup Blueprint, which markets pricey supplements.

His controversial methods, including teenage blood transfusions and genital shock treatments, have raised skepticism about their effectiveness and safety.

    Regular physical activity and spending some time outdoors is more beneficial than injecting weird shit, who knew?

    You can’t fight bad habits with supplements.

      I don’t believe this guy (Bryan) has a lot of bad habits, his whole life seems to revolve around this life extending plan. I’m not at all defending/justifying him, but he had a pretty good answer regarding what supplements are best when Magnus asked. His response was “The ones you are deficient in”

      Again, as I said above, in the linked video he doesn’t scream “batshit crazy” but just really eccentric!
