He claims to no longer be Mormon but I suspect he still is and just tries to distance himself from that world because of his business. He still refrains from alcohol and caffeine.

To be fair, if you're focused on anti-aging then by far one of the easiest things you can do for that is avoid alcohol completely. That might not necessarily be a latent hangup from his Mormonism, considering his goals it's very sensible. I'm not so sure if avoiding caffeine is doing anything for him, though. Only benefit I can really see from that is it not interfering with his sleep.

Inb4 "but studies have shown red wine is good for you" - this is because of the antioxidants in the wine, which can be derived from healthier sources. Overall alcohol contributes to dehydration, skin inflammation, and stress on your liver, which are all things this guy should be keeping an eye on.

Fun fact, this procedure is called parabiosis and it was discovered by New York scientist Wanda Ruth Lunsford in 1960 where she grafted two rats together by their skin and she noticed the older rat get younger as a result of sharing blood with the younger rat. The paper she published about it was her only paper as she was laughed off by the scientific community for engaging in a Frankenstein project. Research on her discovery has been reignited back in 2016 by Harvard and Stanford. They found that the proteins transmitted by the blood transfusion reactivate dormant stem cells in older specimens, which promotes healing and neuron growth.


Truly, these are thrilling times.

I think the effects are limited. The human body and aging are too complex for this to work reliably.

Doesn't then defeat the purpose of living longer? Cancers are very hard to treat, get rid of them or repair the damage.

That's probably why they're only taking the blood plasma and not just doing blood transfusions. For someone who already has cancer like Mister Metokur, parabiosis would actually reverse a lot of the damage his body has undergone and who knows, maybe the new cancer will eat the old cancer and both will die.

That's true. Abstaining completely from alcohol, smoking, and drugs in general extends your lifespan by a lot. All serious medical studies show that alcohol is fucking terrible for you.

Alcohol is actually one of the hardest drugs by harm metrics it’s bad for all the organs, and that’s before even getting into sociatal harms like car crashes and spousal abuse linked to it.

Nigga just be Jack Scalfani or DSP or chrischan.

Every court action will get a continuance.
You will outlast everyone.
You will survive every stroke.
You will not pay your taxes, not pay your credit card and rule over your detractors for all of eternity while they mald and eternally seeth at you and your new wife.


Anyway - I respect Bryan Johnson. I had mixed feelings up until the point he replied to a Sam Hyde tweet like this:

I don't follow him all the time but he clearly can take a joke and is doing something that might provide some interesting answers for humanity about longevity - maybe wanting to live forever is a bit weird but I have heard that the development of Formula 1 cars has lead to countless innovations and inventions that have improved normal cars, so if this shit he is doing accidentally discovers a cure for cancer or alzheimer's? I'm all for it.

If he pisses off Sam Hyde it can only be a good thing.

Also imagine Sam Hyde really thinking he can beat this guy up, this guy who is nigh obsessed with fitness and has been nearly all his life.

I don't think he really pissed off Sam Hyde so much as surprised/confused the fuck out of him:

That's quite the accomplishment. It at least shows Bryan isn't a typical soulless corpo CEO faggot like most of them are, if he can take a joke and make a joke to the extent of surprising Sam Hyde.

Mr. Johnson is probably due for some horrible septic infections in the future due to his body temperature, which he claims to have reduced to 94.1 on average.

He thinks it means his metabolism is more efficient or whatever, but what it actually means is that he has hypothermia (a medical emergency, as others have mentioned).

I don't really have a problem with what Bryan is doing. Having listened to the stuff he has said in interviews, it seems that he really is just interested in medical science and has decided to have his body be used as a guinea pig for research purposes. Some of the stuff comes across as a little weird, but that is the whole point of experimentation.

I feel what people can't articulate when mocking Bryan is that what they are really annoyed at is the amount of media attention he buys for himself and how often he wants to be put out in the spotlight for everyone to see.
