Bryan Johnson describes two goals for fighting aging: slowing its rate and reversing accumulated damage. Scientists have achieved age reversal in mice through epigenetic reprogramming. Johnson claims his own regimen has rejuvenated multiple organs, including his heart, lungs, and brain, measured through a biomarker system that tracks each organ's biological age.

There is a group of scientists that managed to reverse aging in mice. You know about this? I do. So what exactly is that? I think the one you're talking about is epigenetic reprogramming. And basically there's two things you want to do. You want to slow, have faster aging, and then you want to reverse the aging that has happened. Because we're not going to win against entropy anytime soon. We're going to continue to age. So it's really making that slow and then reversing the damage that has happened. Now, in my own process, when I slowed my speed of aging as much as I have, many of my body's organs went back to a younger state. They rejuvenated themselves. And we know this because we're endeavoring to measure every organ of my body. We bio age my heart, my lungs, my brain, my diaphragm, my nerve sensitivity on my heels, like everything, we have all this information on what happens when you get these things in closed loop system. So yeah, the more powerful technologies to reverse aging and dramatically extend our lives. They're coming. They're not here yet.
