The pursuit of longevity has been taken to new heights by millionaire tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, who’s on the forefront of the motion in search of new methods to reverse growing old and lengthen healthspan, and reside to age 150.
However Johnson’s newest escapade went critically fallacious.
Johnson posted to his Instagram on November 14 a jarring close-up of his face, bloated and crimson, after an try and inject a “donor’s” fats into his face to achieve a younger look.
The thought got here on account of Johnson’s weight reduction from his strict 1,950-calorie food plan.
“I got really lean and lost a lot of fat—especially in my face. My biomarkers were improving, but I looked gaunt,” Johnson wrote in his caption. “People thought I was on the brink of death.”
That’s what prompted him to provoke what he referred to as, “Project Baby Face,” an try and convey youthfulness again into his face.
“Facial fat, we discovered, is pretty important for how people perceive youth,” Johnson wrote. “It didn’t matter how good my biomarkers were if I didn’t have face fat.”
Johnson says he didn’t have sufficient fats on his personal physique to inject into his face, therefore the necessity for a donor. His physique rapidly rejected the fats, although.
“Immediately following the injections, my face began to blow up. And then it got worse, and worse, and worse until I couldn’t even see,” Johnson’s caption says. “It was a severe allergic reaction.”
That sophisticated his plans for the remainder of the day. With a swollen face, Johnson went to his scheduled assembly half-hour later with a Bloomberg reporter, warning him that he “might not recognize” Johnson.
Seven days later, Johnson’s face was again to regular, he says. “And we were back in the trenches reformulating plans for our next attempt,” he wrote.
Johnson’s longevity efforts below his Challenge Blueprint have included receiving blood transfusions from his teenage son—with the concept this “young blood” process (which isn’t FDA accredited) will assist reverse growing old, adhering to a inflexible food plan which features a slew of Blueprint-branded dietary supplements, and present process common gene remedy injections.
