In this brief video, Bryan Johnson explains his regular blood‑draw protocol that measures a total of 63 biomarkers. He outlines the routine tests he always includes—thyroid function and testosterone—while highlighting two markers he monitors closely: IGF‑1, because he is receiving human growth hormone therapy, and ferritin, as he works to restore his iron stores. Johnson notes that about 20 of the 63 markers are selected for specific therapeutic or lifestyle interventions, whereas the remaining roughly 40 are standard routine markers reviewed regularly.

Chapters

We're getting the blood draw today. There's a few routine things we do, so we'll look at my thyroid, we'll look at testosterone. We are paying attention to IGF1 because I'm on human growth hormone, and so we're looking at that number. We're also watching ferritin because I'm trying to rebuild some ferritin levels. There's a few things we track, so we have a particular interest in, I'd say maybe 20 or so that we are watching closely for various therapies or various change, and then the remaining 40 or so are routine markers we're just looking at on a regular basis.
