Millionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson posted naked photos of himself to show his “insatiable thirst for life.”
Johnson, who spends about $2 million a year on a regimen that includes counting his nightly erections in an effort to regain the organ functions of a teenager, flaunted his chiseled physique in a Thanksgiving social media post.
In the completely naked photo, the 46-year-old tech mogul holds a kettlebell while performing a lunge in what appears to be his personal gym.
“Death was my only wish for 10 years,” Johnson wrote on his X social media account, where he posted the daring image.
“Depression had me in an unbreakable stranglehold,” he wrote, adding that “today I was giving thanks because I now feel an insatiable thirst for life.”
Johnson ended the message with an emoji depicting two hands joined together to create the shape of a heart.
“Sending them all [love],” he wrote.
Earlier this year, Johnson claimed he managed to reverse his biological age to the point where he has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity and fitness of an 18-year-old. -old.
In January, Johnson, who sold his payment processing company Braintree Payment Solutions to EBay for $800 million in cash in 2013, revealed the extent to which he struggled with the aging process.
He hired a team of more than 30 doctors and health experts who monitor his brain, heart, bladder, kidneys, liver, lungs, penis, tendons, skin, hair and rectum.
The effort, code-named “Project Blueprint,” involves following a 1,977-calorie vegan diet, high-intensity exercise for three days a week, routine blood tests and colonoscopies, and intermittent fasting.
Before he became extraordinarily wealthy, Johnson said the stress of working long hours was so acute that he became depressed to the point of contemplating suicide.
“Every night at 7 p.m., the stress of the day was on my shoulders and I felt very heavy,” Johnson, devouring trays of brownies to cope with his difficulties, told Business Insider in September.
“It was like this idea that if I could somehow get this food, I would have this momentary relief from this pain of my existence.”
Johnson is part of a specialized group of Silicon Valley types who are spending excessive amounts of money to discover the fountain of youth.
As part of his efforts, Johnson experimented with unorthodox methods, including exchanging blood plasma with his 17-year-old son, a move he said produced no benefit.
During the plasma exchange, Johnson, his son and his father, Richard, 70, had a liter of blood drained.
Talmage’s plasma was introduced into Johnson’s veins and Jonson’s plasma was introduced into Richard’s veins.
In the weeks following treatment, Johnson said “no benefits were detected” from exchanging blood and therefore he will not do it again.
