Brian Johnson A resident California , USA, has dedicated his research to anti-aging and invests a significant amount of money each year in this endeavor. Wanting to retain his youthful vigor, he embarked on a daring experiment involving a blood transfusion with his teenage son, according to a Navbharat Times report. His belief was that his son’s young blood would have properties that could revive him, but unfortunately, the results did not match his expectations. As a result, Brian decided to end his “Blood Boy” project, as it did not bring him any tangible benefits.
The report added that Brian’s entrepreneurial journey began a decade ago when he founded a company called Braintree Venmo He later sold it to the payments giant PayPal For a whopping $8 million. Following this initiative, he started a blood transfusion experiment between himself, his 70-year-old father, Richard, and his 17-year-old son, Talmage. Recently, Brian tweeted about transfusing a liter of his son’s and father’s blood, infusing Talmage’s plasma into his own veins and transferring his plasma to his father, Richard.
However, imaging and biomarker testing revealed that Brian’s son experienced no significant benefit from the transfusion. Although light plasma can provide benefits in some age-related conditions, it was not effective in Brian’s case. Results regarding the father’s response to the experiment remain unknown. Despite this setback, Brian continues to invest a staggering amount of Rs 16.45 crores per year to maintain his biological age of 18.
Brian carefully follows a strict regimen in his quest for eternal youth. He consumes 80 vitamins and minerals per day and consumes a significant amount of fresh vegetables, totaling 31.5 kg per month. In addition, he engages in an extensive exercise routine that includes 25 different exercises, devoting up to an hour a day. The diet is strictly controlled with just 1977 calories. Notably, Brian has recorded 33,000 images of his gut health.
A team of more than 30 doctors regularly monitors various aspects of his well-being, including blood parameters, heart function, liver and kidney health, brain function, vascular and sexual health. Brian claims to have the heart health of a 37-year-old, the youthful skin of a 28-year-old and the fitness levels of an 18-year-old.
