Wealthy billionaire who spent $6 million for blood transfusions with his son reveals comparison photos: mocked for not looking better than before

Do you remember Bryan Johnson, the American billionaire who spent $2 million annually, hired a team of over 30 experts to serve him exclusively, and followed an extremely strict lifestyle regimen, all in pursuit of "reversing aging"?

After three years of "effort," he recently showcased his results on X. S348abc3c-6b02-47ff-b1d2-4717fcfc133d.jpg He shared facial photos from the past few years: 2018 (pre-aging), 2023, and 2024, exclaiming, "Even my phone's facial recognition is confused, I'm evolving."

Seemingly pleased with his transformation, he initiated an online poll to crown his "peak moment." S9099269a-8e99-49c1-be1f-6fab7e54f27a.png However, I think he will definitely be unsatisfied with the election results.

As of April 11th, 39,000 people participated in the voting. 51.3% of them chose the Johnson of 2018 (pre-anti-aging), while only 39.3% opted for the Johnson of 2024. The Johnson of 2023 had a support rate of 9.3%.

Most people express disapproval of Johnson's results after spending $6 million, and many people are joking about it online: Sb9168360-bffb-4288-a6f5-b55cc7d6b94d.jpg Johnson's Blueprint Plan

Johnson's anti-aging fervor began in 2021, and since then, he has meticulously crafted an intense biological regimen for himself.

He assembled a team of over 30 doctors to examine his body and analyze data on a daily basis.

His daily routine would be overwhelming for an average person like me, and I'm certain I'd go insane within days. Sae2be754-7b91-4de7-9491-42818f9b0a1f.jpg

  1. Wakes up naturally between 4:30 and 6:00 a.m. every day.
  2. Begins monitoring the body, including routine checks on height, weight, blood pressure, fat, bones, and other aspects involving 70 organs of the body.
  3. Engages in a 1-hour exercise routine, reportedly comprising 25 different training exercises.
  4. Has breakfast, accompanied by the intake of 112 to 130 supplements (quite a daunting dosage).
  5. Adheres to a vegetarian diet, strictly controlling calorie intake to not exceed 2000 kcal per day, with only 2 meals consumed, lunch being at 11:00 a.m., and no eating after noon.
  6. Carries out daily beauty and grooming rituals, such as wearing specific hats to prevent hair loss and skincare routines.
  7. Before sleeping, wears UV protective glasses for 2 hours, avoids staying up late, and goes to bed early.
  8. If necessary, undergoes regular medical examinations, including blood tests, MRI scans, ultrasound examinations, etc., and personally experiments with controversial anti-aging methods, essentially serving as a guinea pig.

Maintaining such a "tedious" lifestyle, he has persisted for 3 years.

He believes the results are significant, claiming that since 2021, his body has been getting younger, now possessing a heart of a 37-year-old, skin of a 28-year-old, and lungs of an 18-year-old. S30e6ce6d-fc63-46b9-aa2a-d08bb9ee1b08.png The Blood Swap Plan Declared a Failure

In a bid to retain his youthfulness, he also ventured into the controversial realm of "blood swapping" therapy, but last year, this endeavor was declared a failure.

Johnson's anti-aging scheme gained public attention because of the blood swapping.

In April 2023, Johnson, his 17-year-old son, and his 70-year-old father underwent hours-long blood treatments together.

In essence, the process involved drawing one liter of blood from both Johnson and his 17-year-old son. After processing, the younger blood was injected into the older individuals. The son's blood went to Johnson, while Johnson's was administered to his 70-year-old father.

Johnson believed that the introduction of youthful blood factors could slow down age-related brain decline.

However, after undergoing six rounds of such blood treatments (with only one instance using his son's blood), Johnson, in a surprising turn of events, refuted his own theory and declared, "There's been no benefit!"

In his own words: "It might be helpful for some older individuals, but for me, it hasn't brought any benefits." S339f3947-b07a-4a9f-92bd-7c50898db98b.png Indeed, from a scientific perspective, there is no substantial connection between blood transfusions and anti-aging, at least not supported by current research.

Reviewing the data, it's been found that in past studies, there have been some benefits observed when young blood from mice was injected into older mice. However, whether this holds true for humans is not supported by science.

In the United States, in 2017, there was a company offering blood transfusion services for $8,000 per liter, which sparked considerable interest at the time.

However, in 2019, the U.S. FDA shut down these services citing lack of scientific evidence and significant potential health risks.

Now, with Johnson & Johnson also announcing the discontinuation of such projects, it's clear that the notion of young blood reversing aging is not valid. S67446652-ee66-4cf4-aa1c-e420c3de813a.jpg In conclusion, I believe it's important to approach Johnson's Blueprint plan with rationality.

Recently, he has been in the media discussing his vision of creating an "immortal community" where residents are prohibited from consuming junk food like doughnuts and pizza, as well as alcohol.

Residents must strictly adhere to all the rules of the "community," with the ultimate goal being to maintain health and delay aging!

In recent years, he has publicly shared his anti-aging process to instill belief in his vision.

From this, it seems that the ultimate end of the Blueprint plan could be commercial, which is Johnson's ultimate goal.

While there's a certain commercial aspect to it, there's one thing worth looking forward to; perhaps one day, truly beneficial projects for the human body could be developed, though the cost remains uncertain.
