People have been searching for the fountain of youth since time immemorial. Sadly, no one has successfully slowed aging — except perhaps Keanu Reeves. For those of us without vampire genetics, strict eating schedules and rigorous exercise routines seem to be our best bet. That’s unless you’re centimillionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson.
The Silicon Valley-based founder of digital payments company Braintree is famously obsessed with anti-aging. He apparently spends around 2 million USD on a demanding regimen that he believes stops Father Time from tick-tocking. According to a blog post, Johnson has been developing his anti-aging program since 2021. Now with an official name and aesthetically pleasing branding, he’s ready to share his secrets to life extension.
The problem with anti-aging is that it doesn't come cheap. You have to pay $333/month for Johnson’s Project Blueprint in order to biohack your body. Applications to try the 90-day “self-experimentation study” were opened last week for a minimum fee of $999 — that covers three months. Included in the strict diet plan are 400 calories of “elite” nutrition, a six-ounce longevity drink mix, Johnson's favorite Nutty Pudding dessert, olive oil, and several supplements. Maybe “deity plan” is a better word for it.
Three payment tiers are available for those willing to shell out thousands. Beyond the initial level, levels 2 and 3 cost $1,799 and $2,599 respectively. The jury is still out on whether Johnson’s Project Blueprint is the much-touted fountain of youth or simply a leaky faucet.
To be as well-rounded as “The World's Most Measured Human,” you’ll also need to adopt his uncompromising routine: 5 a.m. wakeup time, one-hour exercise regimen, four to five hours of “concentrated thought,” 111 supplements, a 2,250-calorie vegan diet, blood transfusions and daily health tests, a crazy sleep schedule, and just to be thorough, a machine that counts his nighttime erections.
