Bryan Johnson discusses an anti-aging pill being tested in mice and when it might reach humans. He warns that predicting scientific timelines is risky, but says the best move now is sleep, real food, and exercise. He calls the potential future spectacular and says you don't want to miss it by neglecting your health today.

This technology that's allowing mice to reverse aging or slow down aging. I'm not quite sure exactly what it is. At what point can a human take this same mouse pill that the mice are taking and apply it to themselves?
It's a dangerous game to predict when to predict scientific outcomes. I think it would be reasonable to say right now for someone like myself who is pretty well aware of the science and what companies are doing, both with my own investing and also being aware of what's happening in the field, it is definitely the right time to make meat meaningful changes in your life, to make you your number one priority, not your work. That means don't sleep under your desk. Don't eat junk food, don't eat too much food, don't skip exercise, don't do prioritized sleep. Here's the thing. The future of human existence, like what we're walking into, may be the most spectacular time to ever exist. And I don't think we want to miss out on it.
