Bryan Johnson cut his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in seven months and slowed his aging rate by 25%. He calls the project "blueprint group therapy" and argues that modern life is designed to make health hard, so the polarized reactions to his results say more about society than about him.
We didn't really know what to expect when we started. The 5.1 year age reversal for epigenetics was interesting and then slowing the speed of aging by 25% was something that we found really exciting.
There's a split view. Some are really engaging you and saying this is great and others are hating on it.
It's understandable. I mean, I think all of us have the same dialogue that is happening online is the same dialogue that happens inside of each one of us. It's the same thing. I mean we're all very critical of ourselves. We're making observations about our behaviors all the time. I call it blueprint group therapy. We're having a dialogue. The difficulty of living in modern society with everything around us trying to addict us all the time. It's very, very hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You have to really go out of your way. I think the commentary is really about larger society than it is about me.
