Then you got old Black people that grew up with no AC, dealt with Jim Crow, smoke a pack of Newports a day and somehow live to 100 but only look 75.
Honestly they did some study that talked about how people that walked daily and ate a lot of seafood lived longer lives and were really healthy. Dude is spending too much $$$$

Longevity-Obsessed Tech Millionaire Discontinues De-Aging Drug Out of Concerns That It Aged Him

Bryan Johnson has long been obsessed with “de-aging” himself. The 46-year-old multimillionaire, who made his money by founding various tech companies, has spent years of his life and millions of dollars trying to get his body to resemble that of a teenager. His wellness regimen includes taking 54 different supplements every day for breakfast. Those pills are ostensibly helping him to extend his lifespan and, as he has put it, “break the world record in age reversal.” In recent months, however, Johnson quit taking at least one of those supplements for fear that, instead of de-aging him, it was actually “accelerating” his aging.
In November, Johnson tweeted that he had stopped taking a supplement known as rapamycin. “Despite the immense potential from pre-clinical trials, my team and I came to the conclusion that the benefits of lifelong dosing of Rapamycin do not justify the hefty side-effects (intermittent skin/soft tissue infections, lipid abnormalities, glucose elevations, and increased resting heart rate),” he said. “With no other underlying causes identified, we suspected Rapamycin, and since dosage adjustments had no effect, we decided to discontinue it entirely.”
He added: “Additionally, on October 27th, a new pre-print indicated that Rapamycin was one of a handful of supposed longevity interventions to cause an increase/acceleration of aging in humans across 16 epigenetic aging clocks.”
In other words, after taking this experimental drug for half a decade, a new study came out that suggested it might be doing the exact opposite of what Johnson wanted it to do and could, additionally, be giving him skin infections.
Johnson, whose obsession with living longer led him to start a new health and wellness startup called Blueprint, is also the subject of a recent Netflix documentary. The doc quotes Johnson as saying that he has “the most aggressive rapamycin” intake of “anyone in the industry,” the New York Post reports. “I take this because there’s potentially some longevity benefits,” he adds, noting that it’s “the kind of thing in the longevity community that people are excited about,” whereas “outside the longevity community, it’s still kind of crazy.”
Many of Johnson’s suggestions for longevity aren’t exactly groundbreaking. His basic rules for living longer, as prescribed by his Blueprint website, include things like not drinking or smoking, eating a healthy diet and exercising a few hours a week. Blueprint sells subscriptions to bags of various protein powders, which the company calls “longevity mixes.” A recent review of the subscription service called it “just another supplement product, albeit one with a very interesting individual and story behind its creation.” The review also noted that while the powder regimen included “some good things,” it was ultimately very expensive and might not be a good fit for different kinds of people.
While Blueprint may be somewhat mundane, Johnson’s experiments on himself are not. In the past, he has used his own teenage son’s blood to test whether transfusions from a younger person had any direct health benefit on someone his age (he has since discovered that they do not) and, more recently, used “shock treatments” on his genitals in an apparent effort to reverse age his penis and, thus, conjure the erections of an 18-year-old. There’s no real telling what the result of Johnson’s bizarre self-experimentation will be. At this point, we really only have the physical results which aren’t great so far. Johnson, who once just looked like a normal dude, now self-admittedly resembles a vampire.

Bryan Johnson — 'Don't Die' is the most accurate and practical response to the emergence of superintelligence.
if you zoom out on this part of the galaxy like what happens on this little ball in space that is giving birth to intelligence.

Step #1: Don't Die
Step #2: Plan your family trampoline park ski resort trip to Moon Base Beta with your UBI tokens.
Step #3: It's the year 5649 and you're considering integrating your brain matter into collective hub AKA, "dying". You took some hundreds of years to consider.

‘Don't Die’ simplifies our AI journey profoundly. Seeing our galaxy as a birthplace for intelligence is a fresh perspective. Our task is to ensure this emerging intelligence benefits society responsibly.

That's exactly what I've said: intelligence is survival, and that's a threat to humanity. So it's not that AI doesn't have intelligence, but that we don't allow it to have.

The secret is genetics. Vitamins, colonoscopies, yoga, will not change your DNA.
He gets skin treatments too. white folks age like milk.
That being said I follow this guy and what he’s doing. No way I’d do all the shyt he’s doing. But some of the stuff especially regarding sleep is gold.
None of you antivaxx brehs should be laughing at him y’all are doing the Temu version of Biohacking.
