What process is Bryan Johnson using for age-reversing? All about the Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever subject
Netflix has released its latest documentary, Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, featuring Bryan Johnson's age reversal mission. Johnson is a tech entrepreneur and millionaire, who sold his company and has now dedicated his life to age reversal.
Netflix's documentary explores the 47-year-old's age-reversal protocol, which involves following a strict routine and undergoing supposed age-reversal treatments like plasma transfusion.
Johnson takes around 111 supplements a day, follows a healthy diet consisting of vegetables, and works out. Alongside these, he routinely goes through light therapy and has plasma infusion, which allegedly slows down the aging of his organs.
What is the process Bryan Johnson uses for age reversal?
Bryan Johnson has undergone the world’s first multigenerational plasma exchange with his 17-year-old son and 70-year-old father in his attempt to reverse aging. The procedure was approved and carried out by his team of 30 doctors in an attempt to reduce age-related brain decline. However, the treatment seemed to have no effect as he tweeted on July 5, 2024, that he detected no benefits. He said:
“Young plasma exchange may be beneficial for biologically older populations or certain conditions. Does not in my case stack benefit on top of my existing interventions.”
Bryan Johnson's plasma infusion has garnered widespread criticism but he defended the transfusion saying that his son volunteered for the project when he overheard a conversation between Bryan and his 70-year-old father who complained of losing mental acuity with age.
When he was questioned by Fortune's editor-in-chief Alyson Shontell on whether he went too far by accepting “biofluids” from his son at Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference in Park City, Utah, he said:
“We create these boundary conditions and we label things as normal, and we label other things as crazy. And we try to create these sacred spaces where things can’t be touched. But it’s a trap in time and place. If this triggers a non-normal, so be it.”
Bryan Johnson swapped blood plasma with his 17-year-old son and 70-year-old father in an attempt to reverse aging.
What other age-reversal protocols does Johnson follow?
Bryan Johnson hired a team of 30 medical experts led by Oliver Zolman, a 29-year-old medical expert on longevity, to help him achieve immortality by reversing the aging of his organs.
Johnson is a tech entrepreneur who sold his company to eBay for $300 million and now uses his fortune to undergo medical treatments that would expand his lifespan and reverse the aging of his body. He reportedly spends around $2 million annually for his treatments.
Johnson follows a strict set of protocols called the Project Blueprint that is designed by longevity experts to reduce or slow down the process of aging. This includes consuming 111 pills daily, following a stringent diet, and going through regular medical treatments like light therapy and plasma infusions.
His routine includes waking up at 4:30 am and being done with his dinner by 11:30 am. He also ensures that he gets good sleep and works out to stay healthy. Johnson consumes 1,977 calories a day and 70 pounds of vegetables a month.
Netflix has documented the details of Bryan Johnson's story and his bizarre mission of achieving immortality in the latest documentary Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever. The documentary was released on January 1, 2025, and is now streaming on Netflix.
