Cooked Crack Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Quote The millionaire tech founder who's trying to age backwards says he's stopped receiving blood infusions from younger people, including his son. Bryan Johnson tweeted last week that he's discontinuing "young plasma exchanges" after seeing that it didn't yield any benefits. "Evaluated biomarkers from biofluids, devices and imaging, no benefits detected," Johnson wrote. "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. Alternative methods of plasma exchange or young plasma fractions hold promise." Quote The infusions are part of a grueling, $2 million-a-year regimen Johnson has undertaken in an effort to reverse the aging process. One aspect of his routine includes limiting his eating to a five-hour window each day, eating only between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m.. He also exercises daily and takes a host of supplements each morning, and monitors his diet to consume exactly 1,977 calories every day. He says he has already seen some progress in reducing his biological age: His doctors told Bloomberg in January that their tests show he has the heart of a 37-year-old and the lungs of an 18-year-old. https://www.businessinsider.com/millionaire-bryan-johnson-stops-blood-infusions-young-people-teen-son-2023-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote They also claim he has the gum inflammation of a 17-year-old and the rate of nighttime erections of a teenager — because who wouldn't want to revert back to their pubescent self? Hyman and Sinclair's lifestyles may seem a stretch, and Johnson follows similar principles: He maintains a vegan diet and exercises regularly — daily in fact. But Johnson's lifestyle is one step further into the realm of outlandishness. He gets up each day at 5 am and chugs down two dozen medicines and supplements including turmeric, zinc, metformin, and lithium. Johnson also restricts his daily calories to the very exact number of 1,977 and has blood tests, MRIs, and colonoscopies each month to monitor and achieve his organ's young status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Lol at him thinking he can exactly measure the number of calories that go into his body each day. The science just doesn't work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wiggles Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 It starts out all innocent with the monthly colonoscopies and daily enemas. Then moves on to the eugenics programs and National Conferences on Race Betterment. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Life extension has been a big thing, especially among tech bros but also some in the medical community for quite a while. After much experimentation, the current state of the art seems to be: Don’t smoke. Don’t drink too much. Don’t eat processed crap and added sugar. Get enough sleep, and consistently. Get a decent variety and amount of aerobic, anaerobic, strength and stability exercise. Reduce mental stress through mindfulness or whatever works for you, such as a strong social network. Have regular checkups so that you don’t die of something easily treatable before it gets worse. ’cause it turns out all these 100 year olds living in the ‘blue zones’ are NOT popping pills, doing intermittent fasting, super hot saunas, cold therapy, plasma infusions etc. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Can you imagine aging to 100+, watching your kids grow old and die, all of your friends die? Thanks anyway. I mean, if fortune says so, so be it, but it doesn't sound so great to me. ~Bang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was still mentally sharp. She fell and hurt herself, but not so badly that she couldn't recover from it (or so said the doctor), but apparently just gave up because she was tired of her life with limited mobility, limited eyesight and no friends/companions. Getting old isn't for the weak or faint of heart. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By her late 90s she was basically asking why she was still here. 😔 My SIL grandmother out lived all five of her children. Not ideal at all.
