Are there people who don’t want eternal youth? Hasn’t your grandmother ever heard in wonder the stories of the lucky ones who were gifted with life unaffected by old age? But an American software entrepreneur is chasing the dream of eternal youth. It’s been years too. He claims that he is partially successful in that.
Brian Johnson, CEO of California-based biotech company Kernelco, spends $2 million (Rs 16 crore) every year to get the 18-year-old’s body. He calls his attempt to achieve eternal youth Project Blueprint. Brian also claims to have reduced his epigenetic age by 5.1 years so far through ‘Project Blueprint’.
Johnson, 45, has brought a team of 30 doctors and medical specialists with him to monitor his body’s functions. According to the report released by Bloomberg, they help to hold back the aging process of each of Johnson’s organs.
As part of Project Blueprint, Johnson follows a strict routine. Only vegetarian food. He consumes 1,977 calories per day, exercises for an hour and goes to bed at the same time every night.
His morning starts at 5 am. Breakfast is a green juice with creatine and collagen peptides. After that, the billionaire’s body-watching spree will begin.
Ultrasounds, MRIs, colonoscopies and blood tests are part of the 45-year-old’s life. And it will happen every day. Body weight, body mass index, body fat, blood glucose levels and heart rate variability will be measured and recorded daily.
The CEO’s medical team is led by a 29-year-old physician named Oliver Solman. Oliver’s goal is to demonstrate that humans can reduce the biological age of their organs by 25 percent. “There is no person in the world whose chronological age is 45 years and whose organs are 35 years old.” “But if we can prove in every way that Brian Johnson made it possible, it could be a huge phenomenon,” Oliver points out.
Johnson has written about how ‘Project Blueprint’ was born on his Blueprint website. “This project was born when he couldn’t stop his habit of overeating to forget the pains of life,” he says. Despite having so much success in life, I couldn’t do anything to stop myself from engaging in that bad behavior that was destroying me. – Brian writes.
Meanwhile, Brian Johnson’s project is being dismissed and ridiculed by many.
