Bryan Johnson Targets 18-Year-Old Biological Age with Intensified Longevity Protocol

Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur widely recognized for his ambitious Project Blueprint, announced on December 5, 2025, that he is initiating a new protocol aimed at reducing his biological age to 18. Johnson, 47, declared his current biological state "unacceptable" in a social media post, signaling a renewed push in his multi-million dollar quest for radical age reversal. This move underscores his commitment to optimizing every aspect of his physical and cognitive functions. Johnson's Project Blueprint involves an ultra-regimented, algorithm-based health system, reportedly costing over $2 million annually. While his current biological age is estimated to be in his late twenties, he has consistently aimed for the vitality and health markers of an 18-year-old. His regimen includes a daily intake of 130 pills, a strict diet with his last meal at 11 AM, an 8:30 PM bedtime, 90-minute daily workouts, and regular medical interventions such as weekly MRIs and plasma exchanges. The entrepreneur's extreme approach has drawn both fascination and skepticism. Dr. Vadim Gladyshev, a Harvard professor, was quoted in the recent Netflix documentary "Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever" as stating, "It’s not science. It’s just attention." However, Johnson and his team, including longevity consultant Dr. Oliver Zolman, view his efforts as a pioneering experiment, with Zolman calling him "the best guinea pig anyone can ask for." Johnson maintains that his efforts are not solely for personal gain but to advance anti-aging science and provide a blueprint for humanity. He openly shares his detailed protocols, emphasizing that foundational elements like consistent high-quality sleep, a nutrient-dense diet, and regular exercise are accessible to everyone, often at no cost. He has notably achieved 100% sleep scores for months, demonstrating the impact of prioritizing rest. His overarching philosophy, termed "don't die," extends beyond individual longevity to a broader vision for human cooperation and survival, particularly in alignment with artificial intelligence. Johnson believes that by optimizing human health through data-driven, algorithmic control, humanity can better navigate existential threats and unlock an "expansive consciousness" for the future. The Netflix documentary provides an in-depth look into his controversial wellness practices and their impact on his life and family.
