Biohacker Bryan Johnson has claimed he does not "plan on dying" after dedicating his life - and millions of dollars - to extending his longevity.
Bryan, who is 48 years old but says his "biological age" is just 18, revealed in a video shared on X: "We are the first generation that won’t die, like actually won’t die, I don’t plan on dying."
He added: "I’m chronologically 47, but biologically my cardiovascular abilities are age 18, my lung capacity is age 18, my telomeres, my chromosomes are age 18, my body functions in many ways like an 18 year old."
Bryan explained that a person's biological age can vastly differ from their chronological age, adding: "This is why I say make health your top priority, because the difference between being healthy and non healthy when you’re thinking is like night and day."
According to Bryan, advances in biotechnology and knowledge about how to optimize health could allow many humans to live far beyond the typical life expectancy of current generations.
Bryan has dedicated his own body to his science experiment to research anti-aging and abides by a strict diet, monitoring of all his biometrics - even including measuring nocturnal erections - and therapies aimed to regenerate his cells to allow him to live longer.
While Bryan and others hope that advancements in medicine, biotechnology, and AI will eventually mean many can cheat death, critics have said the possibility of humans living forever are purely speculative at this point.
Bryan, however, argues that his own personal experiments have proven that lifespans can be extended dramatically, sharing his main 41 findings after spending millions researching longevity.
He revealed to his followers on X (formerly Twitter): "This is it. Everything learned spending millions on longevity.”
While Bryan spends $2 million a year on his anti-aging protocol, which he has named Project Blueprint, many of the suggestions are things that everyday people can easily incorporate into their lives to hopefully benefit their health.
He swears by getting enough sleep, exercising regularly as well as eating quality foods which are not processed, avoiding sugar and limiting behaviors that will shorten your life, such as smoking or taking part in high-risk activities.
Bryan says sleep is "the world’s most powerful drug," advising people stick to a consistent bedtime before midnight each night, as well as shutting off all screens at least an hour before sleeping.
He also recommends working out after eating, either by taking a walk or doing air squats, as well as daily stretching and lifting weights to condition the muscles.
Staying hydrated and getting some vitamin D through morning sunlight is also recommended, but Bryan stressed the importance of protecting the skin from the sun during midday hours.
Maintaining your mental health is important too, and Bryan encourages spending time with friends weekly, as well as keeping social media usage in check.
While there's no guarantee those suggestions will make you live longer (or indeed forever), they'll definitely be beneficial to ensuring you have a healthier life overall.
