Project Blueprint
Phototherapy by Bryan Johnson.
Bryan Johnson, CEO of biotech Kernel, spends $2 million a year on his efforts to look 18 years old again.
At age 45, Bryan Johnson has the dream of many people to go back in time. Not literally. The CEO of biotech company Kernel wants to be 18 again and is prepared to do everything in his power to ensure that.
Johnson is on the right track. THE Bloomberg advances that the entrepreneur has a heart of a 37 year old and the lung and physical capacity of an 18-year-old.
It was not always like this and, to be successful, the North American spends 2 million dollars a year. Not forgetting its team of 30 doctors, who carry out a plan specially designed to reverse your age.
More than a decade ago, Johnson was a software engineer and started a payment processing company. Several hours of work and additional stress made the company succeed and, in 2013, its creation was bought by eBay, for 800 million dollars.

Kernel CEO Bryan Johnson.
With overweight and depressed, the entrepreneur began to dedicate himself to improving his health. It was then that he founded Kernel, a company that uses helmets to measure brain activity.
The American believes that people do not have access to the most important information to help them lead a healthy life. So, in partnership with Oliver Zolman, from King’s College London, tries to figure out a way to stay young again.
Zolman and his team of 30 doctors perform a series of experiments on Johnson, whether to modify his diet or physical activity, according to his vital signs. they call it Project Blueprint. All details of this project can be checked on the website.
After two years on Project Blueprint, Bryan Johnson shared the results of his progress and what he did to get to that point:
- Epigenetic age reversal of 5.1 years (world record)
- Decrease in the rate of aging by 24%
- Perfect muscles and fat (MRI)
- More than 50 perfect biomarkers
- More than 100 indicators smaller than chronological age
- Fitness tests = 18 years old
- The body works 1.6°C cooler.
Social media users surrendered to Bryan Johnson’s results. Netizens were particularly impressed by his highly strict diet, namely the number of supplements he took. Some left the question: “Nice stats, but how much of your day do you spend keeping track of all this?”.
Johnson starts the day at 5 am with a dose of supplements and medications such as lycopene, zinc and metformin. Every day eat religiously 1,977 calories in the shape of vegan food. Finally, dedicate one hour to three high-intensity training sessionsdescribes the Bloomberg.

Kernel’s CEO has even been accused of having an eating or psychological disorder. His doctors deny it and guarantee that they are innovating in the field of longevity.
“What I do may seem extreme, but I am trying to prove that decay is not inevitable.”said Johnson.
Recently launched a website called Rejuvenation Olympics, which shows an “epigenetic ranking table”, ranking people who struggle with age reversal. Unsurprisingly, Johnson tops the table.
