The former tech boss takes over 100 pills a day and has 30 doctors on hand as part of his Blueprint project to stay young forever.
He has gone through various bizarre medical treatments to reverse his body clock, including tri-generational blood plasma swapping with his father and son.
However, one of his more recent experiments seems to have gone wrong.
At the start of the year, he decided to start the “baby face project” to make himself appear as young as his body is inside.
He said he injected his face with body fat from another person.
But the procedure went disastrously wrong, resulting in extreme swelling of his upper face that caused him to temporarily lose his vision.
The anti-ageing guru has now shared pictures of the extreme reaction.
He wrote in the caption: “Immediately following the injections, my face began to blow up. And then it got worse, and worse, and worse until I couldn’t even see.
“It was a severe allergic reaction. I hope I’m ok. If I’m not ok, are you by chance trained to perform any life-saving actions?”
Johnson claimed the latest treatment required him to extract fat cells from his own body parts and inject them into his face.
However, he claimed that he did not have enough fat on his own body – and was forced to inject another person’s fat.
Although the results of the procedure looked quite scary, the millionaire revealed they were not life-threatening.
“Seven days later my face was back to normal and we were back in the trenches reformulating plans for our next attempt,” he added.
Johnson follows a strict daily routine that he claims gives him the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old.
The software developer made millions in his 30s when he sold his payment processing company to eBay for $800million in cash.
The biotech entrepreneur aims to have all 78 of his major organs functioning as if he were in his late teens.
The strict regimen, known as Project Blueprint, requires him to follow a strict vegan diet of 1,977 calories per day with a mixture of soft and solid foods.
He wakes up at 5am, takes 24 supplements, exercises for an hour, and drinks a green juice with creatine and collagen peptides.
The supplements include metformin, turmeric, zinc, and, for brain health, a small dose of lithium.
Johnson also brushes and flosses his teeth while rinsing with tea tree oil and antioxidant gel.
Before he goes to bed, he wears glasses which block blue light for two hours.
And while he’s sleeping, Johnson is hooked up to a machine that counts the number of erections he has during the night to see if it’s similar to a teenager.
He also has monthly ultrasounds, MRIs, colonoscopies, and blood tests to keep a close eye on his health, and takes daily measurements of his weight, body fat, and glucose levels.
Oliver Zolman, a doctor heading up the team hired by Johnson, said they aim to prove a human being can reduce the medical age of their organs by 25 per cent.
The 29-year-old – dubbed the “rejuvenation doctor” – said: “There is no person in the world who is 45 chronologically but 35 in every organ.
“If we can eventually prove clinically and statistically that Bryan has made that change, then it will be such a large effect size that it will have to be causative of the intervention and beyond what’s genetically possible.”
Details of “Project Baby Face” remain sparse, but some users on social media speculated he has started using collagen and chemical peels to achieve younger-looking skin.
He’s shared details of his ‘skin protocol’ to his Instagram, showing himself receiving a treatment of “intense pulsed light” using a device known as the Exilis Ultra 360 – a radio frequency device that claims to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles.
Bryan previously told The Sun: “I’m revolting against the culture of death.
“In the 21st century, the only goal is not to die. It’s the rallying cry for the 21st century, those two words, ‘Don’t die’.”
He insists what he’s doing is not a ‘vanity project’, but a ‘science project’ for the entire human race.
Inside Bryan Johnson’s age-reversing life
The tech mogul follows a strict anti-ageing routine in the hopes of reversing his age.
His routine – which he claimed is “entirely based upon evidence and data” from scientific studies – includes:
- Waking up around 5 a.m.
- Measuring his body composition, including fat, muscle mass, BMI and temperature
- Drinking a preworkout smoothie and taking 61 supplements
- Working out for an hour, doing both cardio and weight training
- Eating a breakfast “super veggies”
- Undergoing treatments like red light therapy and ultrasound
- Having his second meal of “nutty pudding” and 40 more supplements
- Eating his third and final meal of the day by 11 am
- Working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., then spending two and half hours for “family time,” relaxation, skincare, and dental care
- Going to sleep by 8:30 p.m
Bryan also made headlines for by recruiting his 17-year-old son Talmage for a blood swapping treatment.
Bryan had plasma from his son’s blood injected into his own, to rejuvenate him and keep him looking and feeling young.
But the 47-year-old American tycoon has revealed he’s scrapped his ‘blood boy’ project after “no benefits were detected” from the costly transfusion, which saw his young son donate a fifth of his blood.
