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 glad someone other than me is trying this sort of thing. He bears the risks, but if he succeeds then I share in the benefits.
Same here. It bothers me how many people have come to worship the Dragon-Tyrant and consider this guy to be somehow “selfish” for attempting this.
