Bryan Johnson, a biohacker, faces backlash but remains undeterred in his quest for eternal youth
Los Angeles: So, there’s this guy named Bryan Johnson who’s all about living forever. He’s been making waves on social media with his wild ideas about eternal youth. You won’t believe some of the stuff he’s doing, like injecting himself with his teenage son’s blood plasma. Yeah, it sounds a bit out there!
He’s pouring a whopping $2 million a year into this quest. Johnson made a fortune when he sold his tech company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal back in 2013, and now he’s on a mission he calls ‘Don’t Die’. He even has a Netflix doc about it!
With nearly 450,000 followers on X and another 250,000 on TikTok, he’s sharing his journey and methods. But not everyone is cheering him on. He recently asked his followers what their issues were with him, and boy, did they respond!
One commenter called him out for avoiding the sun, which he admits he does to dodge aging and cancer risks. But he’s quick to clarify that he knows sunlight has its perks, like boosting vitamin D and improving mood. He’s all about that balance!
Sleep is another big deal for him. He claims to have “the best sleep in the world,” and he shares his sleep tips with his fans. Some folks even suggested he change his mission’s wording from “Don’t Die” to something more positive like “Live Longer.”
Johnson has thought about this too. He believes people have a long history of fighting over what it means to live well. Plus, some followers think he should incorporate religion into his plan for better results. But honestly, he seems pretty unfazed by the criticism and keeps on posting.
