Tech Millionaire Halts Anti-Aging Drug Over Concerns It Accelerated Aging

Bryan Johnson, known for his extreme longevity experiments, discontinues rapamycin after side effects and new research suggest it may have aged him faster.

• Bryan Johnson, a 47-year-old tech entrepreneur and biohacker, has spent $2 million annually on an extreme anti-aging regimen known as Project Blueprint.
• Johnson recently stopped taking rapamycin, a drug with potential anti-aging benefits, after experiencing side effects like skin infections and elevated glucose levels, and after new research suggested it may accelerate aging.
• His strict daily routine involves taking 91 supplements, consuming all meals before noon, and undergoing various therapies, including light therapy and vagus nerve stimulation, to slow aging.
• Johnson claims his regimen has reduced his biological age by 5.1 years, but he admits to constant hunger due to his restrictive diet of vegetable-heavy meals and nut-based puddings.
• The Netflix documentary 'Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever' highlights Johnson's controversial methods, including past experiments like blood transfusions from his teenage son and unconventional treatments for reversing aging.
