Bryan Johnson, a prominent biohacker and longevity advocate, has expressed doubts about his extreme anti-aging efforts after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. In a post on X, Johnson wrote, 'Been thinking things over and wonder if I've taken this whole longevity thing too far.'
Johnson, who has spent millions annually on his Project Blueprint regimen, was diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis (AIG) earlier this year. The condition, which causes the immune system to attack the stomach lining, is considered incurable by medical professionals. Despite extensive health monitoring, the disease went undetected for years.
In addition to his strict anti-aging protocol, Johnson recently experimented with psilocybin mushrooms, which he claimed offered 'a compelling case for longevity potential.' He livestreamed his experience after consuming nearly 5 grams of the B+ strain of Psilocybe cubensis, stating that the substance 'calmed my body and mind.'
Johnson's regimen includes early bedtimes, a tightly controlled diet, daily exercise, supplements, prescription drugs, frequent bloodwork, scans, and experimental treatments. He has described himself as the most biologically measured person in history. However, his recent health challenges have led him to reconsider the extent of his longevity efforts.
