Summary
Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old tech multimillionaire focused on anti-aging, stopped using rapamycin—a supplement he took for five years—after research suggested it might accelerate aging.
Johnson cited side effects like skin infections and glucose issues, as well as findings from a recent study showing rapamycin could worsen epigenetic aging.
Known for extreme anti-aging experiments, Johnson also created the health startup Blueprint, which markets pricey supplements.
His controversial methods, including teenage blood transfusions and genital shock treatments, have raised skepticism about their effectiveness and safety.
I’m a man and if I met a woman serious about life extension then I would consider that a positive. It’s evidence that she is smart (at least in the high-INT/low-WIS way), motivated, and will always have something strange and new to talk about. Her eccentricity may turn out to be of the sort that makes a serious long-term relationship impossible, but that’s a risk that someone who wants to date eccentric people must take.
With that said, I expect that women who think the way I do are quite rare.
