I Tried Bryan Johnsons $2,000,000 Anti-Aging Routine

This is Brian Johnson, the world's most measured human. After selling his company for $800 million in 2013, Brian has been investing millions to solely reverse his aging. Setting a world record by reducing his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months. This year he's turning 46. But thanks to a 2 million dollar per year regimen, that will only be true on the calendar as his body approaches 18. Instead, today I'll be seeing how to keep my body forever young. It is 5am this is when Brian and other paranormal creatures naturally rise to start the day. I don't think I've ever shown up for a collab this early in the morning.

Hello. Hey, Brian. Hey. What's going on? I hope I didn't make you get up too early.

I mean, I'm a. It was kind of early. My morning routine consists of like just like throwing water in my face. So you have quite the extensive routine.

Yeah. Today is going to be a little different. We're going to start you with red light therapy. For hair growth.

For hair growth.

So that's 312diodes sending red light into your scalp. In this morning routine, we'll need to accomplish maybe 150 different things.

That's crazy.

Now we're going to do HRV therapy. Your nervous system has a fight or flight mode where you're just.

I'm permanently on that.

Okay. Yeah.

Because I drink so much coffee.

Okay. So the fight or flight is like high stress. You're running from the lion in the savannah. You want to spend most your time in a low stress, I'm good environment. It's just gonna be electrical stimulation.

I feel like the results might scare.

You a little bit. So there's no results. It's just you can go up in intensity until you feel a light tingling.

I'm not feeling it yet. We're reaching 30. Oh, there we go. Feels like a little earwigs going in.

Yeah, that's right.

This is very overwhelming.

We know the story of the fountain of youth. A group of people in a boat going to a jungle. They go to a temple and they find an elixir and they drink it and it does. It is the fountain of youth here. Right now it's just hiding in a whole bunch of scientific publications. I've slowed my speed of aging the equivalent of 31 years. So I now accumulate aging damage at a speed slower than the average 10 year old. Wow.

So could you like essentially be a vampire?

I think I may be coming one.

I think you might be, yeah. I think I might come back and I'm gonna be like, on a cane. And you're gonna be like, hey. Well, like, I'm like, I can't do this anymore.

I'm going to take five tablespoons for this, but I'm acclimated to it and I'll give you.

Oh, you don't think I can handle it?

No. So it's not about being able to handle it. You might be spending time in the bathroom, so you call, you know.

Yeah.

Choose your own adventure.

It looks quite intimidating.

It does. I'm going to take about 60 pills, and so it's easier for me to swallow. Pills.

60 pills?

Yeah.

Actually, yeah. Oh, my. Do you have a name for this drink?

This is the Green Giant.

The Green Giant?

Yeah. Okay.

It sounds like it's gonna come out as fast as you ingest it. Do you enjoy this drink?

I love it. You love it? I do.

Really?

Okay. Yeah. What does it smell like?

Chocolate and lawnmower clippings.

That's funny. Cheers. Cheers.

To a great day.

To a great day. To a day of slowing our speed of aging.

It tastes effective.

That's a great statement. I've never heard someone say that.

It's like, I think the cocoa is, like, doing God's work right now. It's really like, saving it. But I'm actually. You know what, the more I drink it, like, the more it kind of settles in. Like, I'm actually. It's quite nice.

Yeah.

So these are all the pills?

So these are morning. These are lunch.

So it's 105 pills a day. You're finished eating at 11.

Really?

So, like, what's, like, the purpose for the rest of the day?

Yeah. Fasting. Fasting to induce autophagy. So. So your body's trash collection processes.

Do you ever, like, you know, crave a donut? Or, like, does the thought of an insulin spike, like, age you or anything?

I can't imagine doing it.

So if it's your birthday, it's just the same thing.

Yeah. Let's imagine we say, what is the future of technology in 20 years? We're both going to assume it's better if we say, what is your and my future in 20 years? We have an implicit assumption we're going to age, decay and decline. We do not assume we're going to get better. Right. What if that changed? What if we could pose a question about our future and we could imagine ourselves saying, like, I don't know what kind of superhero I'm going to be, but I'm going to be a superhero. Legit. Like, what if we really believed it?

You're going to be in the Avengers.

I'm a little nervous about. I want you to feel great today. We have a lot to get done. Nervous?

Why?

Mm. I mean, that was a. That was like. That was a pro move you just did by drinking the whole thing.

I feel like I'm experiencing adrenaline right now for like, a sudden bathroom visit or something. I don't know. I'm feeling, like, tingles a bit.

Okay, good. This device here constantly monitors indoor and outdoor air quality. So this is in Venice right now. This is inside the house. So we're perfect. Air quality inside the house. Wow.

I feel like I'm just not doing enough right now.

Well, today. Sad. Today's a start.

Yeah. I think I kind of want one of those now.

One day it spiked to red because there was a warehouse fire downtown. La. Yeah. In a. Some industrial area.

Do you only go outside when it's good?

Yeah, certain. When it's. When it's bad, I don't go outside.

And how often is it bad? Like, have you ever spent, like, a week, like, in your home?

No.

If I was a kid going to school, I'd be like, mom, I can't go. The air quality. I can't leave the house.

I. I've been working on my lung capacity. Be nice to the bug. Oh, he's just waking up. He's groggy, right?

Good morning. He needs a Green Giant.

Yeah, he does.

When I see a sled, I get a little bit scared.

Why is that?

Because it's really hard. But you know what? Santa has a sled. He lives forever, so there's definitely a correlation here.

I think Santa's got high bmi.

Look at his legs. When he's pushing back, it's like separation. You're so ripped, man.

Do you know your body fat measured by MRI? I'm around, like, 5%.

5%? Oh, my God.

I was 50 pounds heavier.

50 pounds?

Yeah. When I was building my companies.

Okay.

I was just doing everything bad. Europe.

Do you train seven days a week or do you have an off day or anything?

Every day.

Every day. So no, like, muscle recovery, Nothing like that? Okay. The data shows it's good. So it's good.

It's working, and I feel great. Whoa.

I was not expecting this. That's awesome.

Yeah. This is my happy place. We have, like, 35 or so exercises. We'll just go through 35 exercises? Yep. Wow.

And this takes you half an hour usually?

Yeah.

I don't know how we would do this. I'm so inflexible. I really don't take care of myself.

Whatever you can do for comfort.

How'd you get all the way down, man? That's impressive. Oh, the hamstring.

Wow.

You're incredibly flexible. Is that something that's taking a lot of time?

It's taking a long time. Yeah. So this. This one in particular really hurts. Oh, God. Oh. And then exactly how did you do that?

You're like a human slinky.

Oh, my God. Yeah. Whatever you can do. They're painful.

Yeah.

15 of those calves.

How do you operate this machine?

And then 15 of these.

You got the energy of like a newborn puppy. So like when. If you read a bunch of the articles about you, it says like you're trying to de age the age 18. You overshoot that, become 17. You can't vote anymore.

It's a good point. Or can. Would someone be in danger if they dated me?

You make everything look so easy. I'm in fifth place right now. I hope I don't ruin a record for you or something. I'm gonna try to catch up.

You could do it, Will. You've got this. There you go.

Oh, yeah.

How's it going?

We're in first place.

Well done.

4,374Th in the world. If you guys want to know, I.

Feel like you're Luke.

He could be like a Tour de France rider or something. Do they have an age category? Should ride with the 18 year olds. I feel like a grandpa just trying to keep up with my son in the gym. Oh, my God. 69. Just stop there.

All right, let's go eat some vegetables. I need.

I need a green Giant intermission.

Quick though.

Doing it. I'll be back. I don't think you actually realize how shredded you are.

I don't.

Yeah, it's. It's ridiculous. Yeah. I feel self conscious.

Oh, my God. Oh, you look great. What are you talking about?

But you just look. You look like paranormal.

This makes the workout all worth it.

Okay. I feel like I'm like going into it thinking it's chocolate, but it's not going to taste like chocolate.

I don't want to spoil it for you. It's magical. This olive oil is not like store bought olive oil, which is not really olive oil.

Let's get off the plane from Italy like yesterday.

Yeah. You can take your pick between 24 karat gold.

That sounds fancy.

Dude.

There's a lot of fish.

Yeah. And then there's the chocolate on Top.

You must be so hungry. How hungry are you? From like 1 to 10 since you haven't eaten since 11, right?

Starving.

Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I'm hungry all the time.

So, like, how do you sleep when it's like, when you're hungry, like, you go to bed hungry? Yeah, I can't think of anything worse than that.

You know, actually, I sleep better when you're hungry. I tested this hundreds, hundreds of times.

That's kind of psychotic.

Yeah, but the. Basically my. My resting heart rate is the best predictor of my sleep quality. And when I have 10 hours fasting before bed, I'm around 45 or so.

Wow. How long does it take you to get through this?

34 minutes.

You time it?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. So you fast for 10 hours, then you have to wait to eat it?

Yeah, I do. Oh, that's like.

That's some form of, like, torture.

The best things in life are on the other side of pain.

So you said you're doing this while you do the splits?

Yes.

I'm just not meant to live forever because I cannot get anything close to the splits. All right. We got a whole garden in a bowl here. I got a piece of chocolate.

Yeah. How do you feel about that? Is that exciting to you?

That's very good. If people, like, at home could take something away from, like, your routine, like, what could they start doing, like, right away that would make the most impact?

Sleep.

Sleep number one. I heard you have, which I didn't even know was possible. So it's 6 week, 100% sleep score.

Exactly. Perfect score.

And that's actually possible?

Yeah. Good night's sleep, everything feels possible and fine. A bad night's sleep, everything feels miserable and discouraging.

Now, before you go and say the blueprint lifestyle is completely out of reach for me, Brian told me that the monthly costs come to just over $1,500 a month. That includes your food, your supplements, your kitchen supplies, and even your initial blood panel test.

Let's go upstairs.

So we're drinking antioxidant green tea, right?

That's right. Five a day. Five a day.

Five a day. Welcome to the future. May cause loss of age.

Hey, Alexis. Okay, this is the Blueprint Clinic. We. Wow. Yeah, we've outfitted it with a whole bunch of medical grade equipment. This is high frequency electromagnetic stimulation and it will do the equivalent of 20,000 sit ups on your abdomen.

Does it. Does it cramp like that?

It's a pretty wild feeling. It kind of feels like someone's grabbing Everything inside of you and pulling it out. Unexpected result from this was increased nighttime erections, both the number and the strength. So.

Wow.

So you can evaluate tonight when you sleep.

Okay.

And so that will be. The circuit will run. How would I.

How do I evaluate that if I'm asleep? Not feel anything yet?

Ready?

Yeah. Oh, it's not even going.

Okay. Yeah. If it's too much. So this is the.

Should I like a belt to, like, bite on or.

This is the panic button. If you hit this, this will.

This panic button.

Yeah. Hit that button and it will go right here. Yeah. Oh.

Oh, there it is.

Whoa.

That feels really odd. Like, slightly uncomfortable.

All right, that's 50 and 8. That's real.

Oh, my God. That's insane that you can do that for 30 minutes.

Oh, pretty wild, right? How does it feel? I'm not sore exactly. You would think you're just gonna be crushed. Go to 100. Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm nervous for you.

I go to 100. Good, good.

Have you noticed I develop your core a lot?

Yes. So this one we can go max strength right off the bat.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ready? Yeah.

Oh, there it is. Could this replace Viagra?

Normally you would take your shorts off too. We'll keep the shorts on today. You put your arms down. Yep. Right there. Whoa. This will help your skin health, overall energy production. A lot of times when people are trying to accelerate wound healing, they'll use red light therapy.

I feel like a new man.

We're cleaning these off. Then we're going to measure your skin age. Okay. You're gonna put your chin here, your forehead here, and it will use multi spectral imaging and it will evaluate the age of your skin.

So here, I'm taking a really intense selfie.

Yeah.

This might be the longest mouse ever. Oh, my God. I hope that means it's. Maybe he thinks I'm already dead. That's not good. Is that just from, like, not wearing sunscreen? Listen to your mom, guys. Red areas, 10 in the 10th percent down. Yeah, that's the worst.

Yeah, you can't see that with the naked eye. This is a medical grade laser that's used to treat a variety of skin health conditions. Conditions. So it's just to improve skin health. Like, for example, I showed you before, this is a result of some full body laser therapy. Okay. So this is a weekend on the healing process. But I always have something, even on my legs. Like, for example, all these spots. This is laser treatment.

I was wondering. You messed up some crazy mosquitoes. Back there?

Yeah. This is a IPL system. So this is like. It feels like being seared with heat.

Seared?

Seared. So it goes in the body and it like pulses.

Are you going to say no?

No. It actually changes your gene expressions so it says, hey, genes act younger. And so they change their expression profile with this treatment. So you're actually changing the genetic expression in your body, your actual skin, age and health. I know. This is how I got my kids to wear sunscreen. Next we will do ultrasound.

Not going to find out if I'm pregnant or anything. I think we're going to look at your heart. Oh, there it is. Wow, that's so cool.

Isn't that pretty?

That is so cool.

Yeah. And we can export. Wow. This is.

Are you a part time magician?

This is our new laser. My body was on fire for two days.

It tastes. I make like a protein ice cream at home, which is like probably you don't even want to know what's in it, but tastes very similar.

And same as before. Everything has a fight for its life to be included.

Oh my God.

So this would all have endpoint measurement in your body. We'd make sure that it's doing what it's supposed to do. Yeah.

How many calories in this?

400.

Okay, that's good.

I spent millions of dollars doing this entire project. I made it all for free, available to everyone. For free.

For free.

Everyone can do it for free. Everything's there. All the recipes, all the supplements, all my data, all the protocols.

Oh, you can't have seconds on this protocol. Right?

Exactly. That's what's so sad.

The last bite needs to wait 24 hours.

I know. Every day. It's such a sad experience. Over the years, asleep has become my number one priority in life.

Sleep is king. Right.

I just don't know why I can't think of anything else more important to do in life than sleep. Yeah. I do nothing in this room except for sleep.

I never can tell.

Yeah. I never work in here. I never hang out in here. It's only for sleep. The curtains never open. I have two air filters. I monitor air quality very closely. There's an algorithm that measures the room temperature and my body temperature in real time. Then adjusts the temperature of the bed to optimize for my sleep stages. I stop drinking liquids around noon to 1. Whoa. In our culture, we negotiate away sleep all the time. If we need to work, it's like, oh, sure, I'll go to bed later.

Yeah, that's what I do all the time.

My bedtime cannot be negotiated with. I guess I'm also fortunate where I get to sleep by myself. Yeah. So I don't have to deal with a partner and.

Oh, it sucks.

And. Yeah. Their routines. The third meal of the day, which I'll eat in roughly an hour.

Which is your last meal of the day.

Last meal of the day with a tablespoon of olive oil. Ooh.

Presentation today. It's just been spot on.

It always is. Jamie is amazing.

Well, that was quite the morning routine, which is like a week for some people. It's very overwhelming. I don't know how you do it every day.

I'm really impressed. You did pro move everywhere. From all the food to the routine, all the tests, the blood draws.

I think that, like, this was one of the most interesting and fun videos I've done, like, in my life. Like, it was, like, so unique. I feel like I learned so much, and I feel like leaving this video, I'm going to be, like, taking so much stuff with me going forward. I think what you're doing is incredible. Thank you for your time.

Yeah. Thanks for coming, man. Great to hang out with you. Yeah.
